    Q
    Should I clean up dust before I spray Cyzmic CS?
    I have boric acid down all around base boards, cracks and crevices. And IGR before I spray?
    A

    You do want to apply Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide to a clean surface and remove any dust or debri before application so that the spray contacts the surface for better application and continous barrier.  Dusts are best used applied to cracks and crevices and under baseboards where it will not be disturbed.

    Q
    What shall I use to spray on outside of house foundation to prevent spiders entering?
    I intend to spray on the ground just at the intersection of the foundation to prevent spiders from coming in my house
    A

    Cyzmic CS would be a great product as a barrier spray to kill insects that contact the treated surface.  While there is not a product that will keep them out, sealing up all cracks and crevices that allow them entry is best way to prevent insects inside.  We also have a great general pest prevention guide that can help.

    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.

    Q
    When you say Firebrats, do you mean Fire ants?
    I have an infestation of palmetto bugs as well as a 60 foot radius in my backyard that is a fire ant mound that I need to get rid of ASAP, will this work for that?
    A

    Firebrats are similar to silverfish, not fire ants. Cyzmic CS is a great option for use in your lawn for palmetto bugs and fire ants. The mixing rate is 0.4 fl oz per gallon of water. This can be broadcast across your lawn and applied every 21 days as needed. The residual outdoors is 30 days and 90 days indoors.

    Yes, it is a good idea to rotate insecticides in order to prevent resistance from building. Cyzmic CS would be a great choice to use in rotation with Onslaught FastCap

    Q
    Will Cyzmic CS stain my walls or paint?
    I want to know if this spray will leave any kind of stain, drips, water marks, shadows, etc on my walls. Thank you.
    A

    Cyzmic CS should not stain or leave any visible residue if mixed and applied according to the instructions on the product label.  Having said that, we always recommend that you test any product you choose on a small inconspicuous area to be sure staining will not occur. Sometimes old paint can be an issue when using any product.

    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.

    Q
    Can I use Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide for roaches?
    My mother-in-law have a roach problem, pretty bad. You can literally sit on the porch and watch them walk on in from the neighbors. I was wondering if I could just use this to treat the problem?
    A

    Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide certainly can be used for roaches, but if the infestation is severe, it is not likely that just using an insecticide by itself will completely control them.  It is usually necessary to use an insect growth regulator (IGR) along with a roach bait gel as well.  We normally recommend using one of our Roach Control Kits so that you will have everything you need to eradicate a roach infestation.  You may want to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information on how to kill and prevent roaches.
