Product Q&A

Answer:

Yes, Cy Kick Aerosol is labeled to treat both cigarette and drugstore beetles. Apply into cracks and crevices where these pests may hibernate such as cabinets, pantries, baseboards, windows, etc. Cy Kick Aerosol offers fast knockdown and long lasting residual control of pantry pests. Depending on the level of infestation, you may reapply as a crack and crevice spray every 10 days. Insecticides alone are rarely effective in treating pantry pests, we would suggest using an attractant to help capture the male beetles. InVite Multi-Insect Lure is a labeled for both cigarette and drugstore beetles and may be applied to a glueboard and placed in areas where grain products are stored. The InVite Insect Lure label states it will remain active for 60-90 days and is recommended to be placed every 30 feet. The keys to managing an infestation of cigarette or drugstore beetles include good sanitation, early detection and locating and destroying infested materials.  Please see our How to Get Rid of Cigarette Beetles Article for suggestions on how to inspect for infested items. .
