    Q
    Can Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide be added to tuna and placed in an area that animals can't reach?
    Encapsulated diazinon used to be mixed with tuna and once eaten or touch would be taken back to the hive which would kill the whole hive. Can this be used the same way? If not what is the best way to use it?
    A
    Cyzmic CS is labeled to be mixed with water and sprayed with a pump sprayer. It should not be mixed with food. The amount of solution that you will use per gallon of water depends on the type of pest you are killing. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by M. from Cincinnati, Oh
    10/18/2014
    Q
    Can Cyzmic be mixed with Onslaught in the same hand pump sprayer? Or should I use these separately?
    A
    These products should not be mixed together. There is no valid reason to mix Onslaught and Cyzmic together.  They are both synthetic pyrethroids so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation

    Q
    How does Cyzmic CS compare to Cy-Kick CS for scorpion control?
    A

    Both Cy- Kick and Cyzmic work fantastic for scorpion control. Both are microencapsulated and both leave approx 2-3 month residual. The difference is that they have different active ingredients that both work great for scorpion control.

    Q
    Why isn't Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide working with carpenter bees?
    I have mixed this at 1/2 oz per gallon of water. I sprayed there area of living twice. Today I mixed some up and actually sprayed them while they were flying/hovering around there nests and most of them shook it off like it was nothing. I may have killed one or two but what gives?
    A

    Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide does not kill on contact. The insect has to ingest the product or it has to make its way through the follicles into the insect.  It does not sound like it has been enough time to knockdown the population.  We also recommend to dust in the holes that are bored so that the larvae would be killed. Be sure to review our Carpenter Bee Guide.

    Q
    Would Cyzmic CS be good to use on my lawn to get rid of mites/ticks?
    We have these super tiny red bugs that get on my puppy everytime he goes out on the lawn in southern California. At first, we thought they were baby ticks, then maybe mites of some sort. I've tried Permethrin SFR, but still see them. What is the best/strongest thing to use?
    A

    Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide would be a great propduct to use as a lawn broadcast to kill and prevent clover mites and over 200 other labeled insects. Simply mix 0.8 oz per gallon of water and apply as a liberal braodcast spray over your entire lawn. Outdoor applications such as these would require a retreatment every 30-60 days. Be sure to keep children and pets out of the treated area until it dries completely. Once dry, it is completely safe for pets.

    Q
    Can you mix Cyzmic CS with Talstar P?
    A

    There really is no reason to mix Cyzmic CS and Talstar P as they're both synthetic pyrethroids so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Mixing these two products would make the concentration too strong and instead may act as a repellent causing insects to simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

  • Asked by Gj from Long Branch
    01/27/2017
    Q
    What are the pros/cons of using Cyzmic CS over Bifen IT for mosquito control?
    A

    Cyzmic CS is an encapsulated insecticide, which means each bit of active ingredient is protected in its own capsule. This helps the active ingredient to stay stable for longer, especially in the harsh heat, sunlight, and rainfall many areas get during the Summer months when mosquitoes are most prevalent. Encapsulation also helps to distribute the product more evenly over surfaces like foliage, and it keeps the product in place better, preventing runoff. Since mosquitoes may only touch a leaf in a few small spots, encapsulated insecticides give us the best chance that a mosquito or other target pest will pick up a bigger chunk of that active ingredient more quickly. We also use less product per application, and applicators get less exposure to active ingredients . The only real disadvantage to a product like Cyzmic CS is that it costs more per application than Bifen IT. If you have a very large area to treat or need the extra flexibility of some of the additional pests on the Bifen IT label, then the Bifen may be a better choice for you.

  • Asked by Ryan from Michigan
    01/29/2017
    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.

    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.

    Can I apply Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide outdoors if there is snow on the ground?

    No, you need the ground to be dry when applying Cyzmic CS- Micro-encapsulated Insecticide since you want it to completely be able to dry on the area you are applying it in. The product cannot adhere to wet surfaces, The ground should be completely or close to completely dry when the application takes places so that the product stays where you are applying it.

  • Asked by Carol from Phoenix, Az
    04/10/2017
    Q
    What is good general insecticide to use in a desert landscape around with a swimming pool nearby? I'm concerned about runoff from rain water flowing into the pool.
    A

    You can use a product like Cyzmic CS to treat this type of area.  You do want to apply about 24 hours before you are expecting any rain.  After that point there should be no issue with rainwater causing the product to run off into the pool.
