Cy kick CS is one of our most popular products for your region. It has 90 days of full-throttle killing power, controlling insects indoors and outdoors. With a broad spectrum label. So it will do a great job standing up to UV rays.

For scorpion control, you are always going to use much more product than you would for general pest control. For general insects like ants, spiders and roaches you would only spray 2 feet up and 2 feet out just around the foundation of the home. For scorpions you need a much wider barrier for them to cross to have the product pass through their tough exoskeleton. It normally takes spraying 6-10 feet out on the ground around the home, plus any other landscape harborage areas to control them effectively. Depending on the outdoor elements in your area will depend on whether you will need to treat monthly or every 2-3 months. The Cy-Kick CS is a great option for scorpion control but you will use a fair amount of it to treat and keep your property free of pests. You normally mix it at the rate of 1-2 ounces per gallon of water, and each gallon you mix up will cover roughly 1000 sq/ft, depending on how heavy you wet the surface area.

Cy-Kick CS is a great general pest control for monthly outdoor control of scorpions and other common household insects. If applied on a dry day, it will hold up in the rain for 4 weeks.

Yes, Cy-Kick CS is labeled for roaches. We would also recommend using an IGR (insect growth regulator). This will stop the roaches from reproducing. You will use between 0.5 to 1.0 fl. oz. per gallon of water. Gentrol IGR can be mixed in the same sprayer as the Cy-Kick CS. You will mix 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This will work for up to 4 months.

For longer prevention, we would recommend using Delta Dust inside the wall voids. You will do a couple of puffs per electrical outlet and light switch. This is waterproof and will last in the wall voids for up to 7 months. Make sure you are not using too much because the roaches will need to walk over it. This dries them out inside the wall voids.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

It is very important that the source of the infestation (where the damaging larva is harboring) is discovered and eliminated, not just the visible insects you see wandering around. Until you find out what that is and deal with it you will continue to get more of the carpet beetles emerging from hiding. Carpet beetles may be as likely to feed on grain based food materials as they are on animal byproducts. Pet foods stored in forgotten places, baking goods left too long in the cupboard, rodent baits tossed in the attic - all of these are quite susceptible to carpet beetle feeding. Plus, you also have the typical carpet beetle diets of dead insects (wasp nests in the attic, dead insects in window sills), feathers (bird nests, dead birds), hair (dead rodents, wool products, trophy mounts), and other things made from animal byproducts. Once the source of the infestation is removed or cleaned, use Cy-Kick CS and Gentrol IGR once a month until all of the beetles are gone. Gentrol IGR will help break the breeding cycle of the beetles and will help eliminate them for good.
