Beta Cyfluthrin like Tempo is just a newer version of Cyfluthrin like Cy-Kick. They are both synthetic pyrethroids. Either Tempo SC Ultra and Cy-Kick CS would work great for listed insects. One is not considered "stronger" than the other. A product like Cy-Kick CS is going to last longer typically outdoors than a standard non-encapsulated product like Tempo would. However, faster knockdown may be observed with the use of the Tempo SC Ultra since the beta-cyfluthrin can provide that. Tempo is often used for more aggressive insects like wasps, while Cy-Kick CS is used frequently for larger insects like scorpions. Be sure to refer to both product labels to insure you are using a product appropriate for your needs, or call us at 866-581-7378 if you have more specific questions about your situation.
Cy-Kick CS really does not require the use of a surfactant like the Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker, as it is a microencapsulated product that "sticks" to surfaces it is applied to very well on it's own.
You normally mix Cy-Kick CS 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.
When applying the Cy Kick CS you would need to use a pump sprayer similar to the Chapin 1 Gallon pump sprayer we carry. It can also be applied in a hose end sprayer. You will adjust your settings to apply 1-2 fl oz per gallon of water to treat 1,000 sq ft.
Cy-Kick CS is labeled to be applied over ornamentals and will not cause harm when applied per the product label.
