  • Asked by Julia from Keizer, Or

    Q
    Will this product help control indoor and outdoor fly infestation?
    We have had a major problem with large flies since early spring thanks to a neighbor having had a sheep housed next to our shared fence. I keep fly strips up inside and bait bags outside with no reduction in the fly population.
    A
    Cyzmic CS is labeled for flies and will provide a lasting residual but a slower kill. It can be used both inside and out and will help kill any flies that land on the treated surface.  We would also recommend for outdoors the Maxforce Fly Spot Bait that kills flies in a minute or less in most cases. Maxforce Fly Spot Bait is labeled for use indoors and outdoors in commercial settings and outdoors for residential settings.  Just one small spot of bait will last up to 6 weeks to provide indoors and 30 days outdoor control of pesky flies.

  • Asked by Daulton from Texas
    06/01/2016
    Q
    Do you need a professional applicator license to purchase Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide?
    A

    In most states you do not need a license to use the products on our website if you are using them on your own property. You will need a license if you are treating other people's property for profit. There are some products on our website that are restricted in certain states and if you are in the named state you will not be able to purchase that product. The state restrictions are listed on each individual product page like Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide, TX is not one of them.

    Q
    What are the symptoms found with dogs with exposure to Cyzmic CS?
    He seems to be having trouble walking. I don't know if it was this product or some other problem.
    A
    We have never heard of any reaction by a dog when exposed to Cyzmic when it has been used as instructed on the product label. That being said, every animal is different and your dog is obviously having some sort of issue. You should contact your veterinarian immediately. For your convenience we have linked the Cyzmic product label and MSDS in our answer so you can print them and give them to the vet.

  • Asked by Candice from Grand Prairie, Tx
    07/02/2017
    Q
    What is the difference between using Cyzmic and Suspend?
    I contacted you guys about using a pesticide for indoor and outdoor use. It is a new construction home and we already have problems with roaches, spiders, wasps, mosquitos because I live next to the woods and lake. I was advised to buy Cyzmic but it looks like Suspend Polyzone would also be a good option. Please advise! I live on 1.3 acre and want to treat my lawn as well as indoors.
    A

    Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide and Suspend Polyzone are comparable in terms of how long they can last on outside surfaces, up to 90 days and are labeled for the same pests.  The differences is in the active ingredient and the formulation.  Cyzmic is micro-encapsulated which means each drop of active is encased in a small capsule that insects contact and pick on and they rupture to get a direct hit of the active.  Polyzone contains a polymer that helps it stick to surfaces better for the longer residual.  Either would be good to use, but CS products tend to work better on harder to kill insects such as scorpions and spiders since they actually pick it up and get the hit of active.

  • Asked by Margie from Leakey, Tx
    10/27/2017
    Q
    Should you mix Phantom with Cyzmic CS?
    If yes, Why would you and would you also need Gentrol IGR?
    A

    No, we do not recommend mixing Cyzmic CS and Phantom at the same time. Cyzmic CS has a faster kill than Phantom, so you would lose the transfer effects of Phantom by mixing these two products together. You could use these insecticides in rotation with one another. You can mix Gentrol with either insecticide since Gentrol is a growth regulator (IGR) and does not kill adult insects. Gentrol is like birth control for insects, so it helps to interrupt the breeding cycle. Be sure to check out our Pest Guides which have treatment guides for the most common pests to get the most out of your treatments and products.

  • Asked by Darrin from Scottsdale, Arizona
    03/16/2017
    Q
    How long does it take to kill scorpions with Cyzmic CS?
    A

    It is hard to say exactly how long it will take Cyzmic CS to kill a scorpion.  This will depend on several factors, such as how long the scorpion was in contact with a treated area, the size and health of the scorpion, and how much of the active ingredient was picked up.  Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so.

  • Asked by Kevin
    05/18/2011
    Q
    Already put down DE under baseboards and bed frame, do I need to vacuum them up before applying Cyzmic CS?
    I already treated the room with DE for bed bugs. 1. Do I need to vacuum DE up before applying Cyzmic CS combined with Gentrol IGR? 2. If there is no need to vacuum the DE before Cyzmic CS combined with Gentrol IGR, is the DE still functional in regards to killing bed bugs -- after applying Cyzmic & CS? 3. Is it a big benefit to mix Cyzmic CS with Gentrol IGR, or should I apply them separately?
    A
    You do not need to vacuum up the Diatomaceous Earth.  You can just apply the Cyzmic CS as needed, but you should try to direct the Cyzmic CS up on the baseboard and not directly over the DE.   You should apply Gentrol IGR with the Cyzmic CS at the same time.  They are applied in the same places so there is no reason to apply the products separately.

    Q
    How many square feet should one gallon of Cyzmic CS cover?
    For mosquito control I am using the .8 oz per gallon mix rate. How many square feet should one gallon cover? Thanks
    A

    One gallon of finished solution of Cyzmic CS should cover about 1,000 square feet. If you are using the highest rate, then you may want to consider using a slightly higher volume of water to ensure thorough coverage on foliage where mosquitoes rest. Please see our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more tips.

  • Asked by Jan from Rohnert Park, Ca
    07/17/2017
    Q
    Will Cyzmic CS kill bird mites?
    A

    Cyzmic CS is a great all around general insecticide that can be used for many insects. While bird mites specifically are not on the label mites in general are, and it can be used in areas where mites may be found. Be sure to remove all nesting materials and birds from the area to ensure that the host and source is eliminated so you can get any lingering mites controlled quickly. Spray the areas outside the home where the nest was found and surrounding surfaces, and if any have made their way in the home during this process you can use the Cyzmic around baseboards and crevices and window and door frames.
