Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide will kill bees that land in the area. A better option would be to use a dust in the wall voids, such as Tempo Dust.

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.

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.
