    Q
    What spray will work for scorpions and last for about 6 months?
    I had to have a pest Control person come in and they used bifen and cykick on the outside and cykick on the inside. I'm looking for something I can do myself safely and that lasts 6 mo. I've used Ortho Home Smart on the perimeter outside and inside and its been good but the last 2 yrs I've found scorpions in the house and in the garage. I only live in the house during the winter from Jan ! to may 1

    Cy Kick CS is one of the top products for scorpion control. Unfortunately there is not a concentrated spray product on the market that will last 6 months, most concentrates will last for up to 8 weeks outdoors. Also, products that do leave a residual do not have an immediate kill which could account for scorpions that are still able to get indoors. If you are looking for a product that has a longer residual than the concentrated liquids you can apply a dust insecticide product such as Delta Dust or Tempo Dust to wall voids and cracks and crevices indoors and outdoors. Dust insecticides can last 6 months or more when applied according to the product labels.

    Q
    How to mix with Nyguard IGR for maximum silverfish control?
    Hi, I've been using Talstar & Nyguard IGR for a few months now to treat my silverfish infestation. In that thread, it was advised to use 1 oz. of Talstar + 5ml of Nyguard per Gallon of water. I'm looking to replace the Talstar with Cykick CS this time so it lasts longer outside. How do I mix it with Nyguard IGR for the maximum amount of control?
    A

    Nyguard IGR is mixed at 3 ml to 8 ml per gallon. Please see the label for complete application instructions.

    Q
    Which is better for chiggers and springtails?
    I have used cyzmic but am still seeing chiggers and springtails, which is better for these pests? Cyzmic or cy-kick? Or something else? I applied cyzmic 2 weeks ago can I apply cy-kick?
    A

    Cyzmic CS Controlled Release Insecticide is not a knockdown insecticide, but it can be used in conjunction with knockdown sprays. It can be reapplied every 21-day intervals, if necessary. You will need to give it more time for it to work. 

    Both products are good and target both chiggers and springtails, they are both micro-encapsulated just different active ingredients. Cy-Kick CS has a residual kill for up to 30 days.

    As long as you can keep the bottle out of extreme heat 80 degrees and above the product will last for 3-5 years on the shelf

    Q
    When is the best time to apply cy-kick cs? evening or morning?
    I am using this for brown ticks. I have them so bad that they got into my house and into my furniture and everything I try to put on my dogs isn't working so I'm having to pick them off.
    A

    There is not a particular time that is necessary for the Cy Kick to be sprayed within other than making sure its not before a rain. While the Cy Kick is a great product you will probably see better success with something like Permethrin SFR mixed with Archer IGR like whats in our Tick Control Kit. If you are not using an IGR (birth control) when treating for ticks it will be extremely hard to get rid of them. 

    Permethrin SFR would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor tick control. We also recommend adding an insect growth regulator such as Archer IGR to Permethrin to stop the ticks from being able to develop while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. You will use 1 oz of Permethrin +  1oz of Archer IGR per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft area. Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use more water (not more product) when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. All of your dogs should be treated with a product that is specifically labeled for use on dogs for tick control.

    You can also help by creating a "tick safe zone" in your yard. You should have an area that is at least 9 ft wide between your yard and any wooded area. Trim back trees to allow as much sunlight as possible into your yard. Keep grass as short. Remove as much leaf litter as possible. A clearly defined, well manicured border between your yard and any wooded areas or weedy lots will reduce the chance of ticks infesting your yard.

    Q
    My wife is terrified for my health, so I was wondering if there is any standard PPE recommended to use when applying a spray. Say specifically Cy-Kick CS would I need to wear anything? Is a gas mask overkill?
    A
    We recommend that you follow the product label and MSDS for information on protective equipment when applying insecticides as they can vary. The MSDS for Cy-Kick CS recommends that you wear basic protective gear. We do carry a Basic Safety Kit on our website and offer free shipping! Please let us know if you need anything else.
