    Q
    I have a major scorpion problem by the pond just outside my yard.
    A
    Cy-Kick CS works very well for scorpions but not near ponds or areas of water. In those areas, we recommend applying Essentria IC3.

    Q
    Where are the best places to use Cy-Kick, Delta Dust and/or Drione Dust when treating for scorpions?
    We're moving to an area of Arizona outisde of Phoenix that is known to have frequent scorpion problems. I've already ordered several products to treat our new home (in addition to trying to seal the house and eliminate harborages in the yard). I've ordered Bifen granules to treat the yard and rock landscaping; Cy-Kick CS to treat around the foundation, the walls of the house, around bushes, and around baseboards and entry points inside the home; and both Drione Dust and Delta Dust to treat void spaces. So, I have a few questions: First, when treating with Cy-Kick inside the home, how and where do you spray most effectively for scoprions? Can Cy-Kick be applied in the attic as well? Second, when treating with Delta Dust and Drione dust, where are the most effective places to use each type of dust - both inside and outside the home? (I have read some sites that say to use a 50/50 mixture of drione and delta dust throughout the home. I've also seen some sites that say use Drione dust under cabinets and appliances, around switches, vents, and fixtures - and to use Delta Dust in the attic because insects will avoid Drione dust and using it in the attic may drive pests downward into living spaces. I'd never heard that before - and I certainly want to kill whatever is in the attic while it's in the attic without driving pests downstairs.) And is it overkill to both spray and dust in attic spaces, or to spray Cy-Kick around baseboards as well as applying dust under baseboards? Will both pesticides still be effective if used in the same place?
    A
    When using Cy-Kick inside, you are applying to cracks and crevices around the room, along the baseboards, bottom of door frames, behind the toilet when the pipes come in, etc.  You would use either the Delta Dust or Drione Dust, we would not advise of using them together it would really be a waste of product.  The key is applying only a light dusting so that insects will not avoid it, if you can see the dust, so can they.  You would apply underneath baseboards, inside of cracks and crevices, and behind cabinets and in the attic around the vents and other cracks and crevices.  Please also read over our scorpion control article here

    Q
    Is it ok to use Cy-Kick CS on a tree for Spruce gall adelgid if the tree is in my yard near my well
    I am thinking of using it on a 10 foot high E. white spruce located approximately 15 feet from my water well.
    A
    There should not be any harm using Cy-Kick CS in that manner.  Of course you would want to be sure to cover the well during application incase of drift spray and follow the instructions on the product label for application.

    Q
    Can Cy-Kick be applied to fruit trees to kill aphids?
    Can fruit be eaten next year after spraying fruit tree for aphids?
    A
    Cy-Kick should NOT be applied to anything edible as this is an off label usage of the product. We do carry products that are great for aphid control on edibles. Please click the link below for more information. Let us know if you have any additional questions/concerns.

    Q
    Can I use a plastic sprayer to apply Cy-Kick CSt?
    A

    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.

    Q
    We live on a large lot in Las Vegas that borders the desert. Have huge ant problem in yard.
    We do get some centipedes seasonally indoors and around house foundation. We have lots of lizards around, which we don't mind b/c they eat the bugs. Have also seen nests of cockroaches out in the desert and other people in area have scorpions (we don't-probably the lizards). We have another 5ft outside our property walls in the desert which I feel we can treat to be effective. Not sure what kinds of products to use and we don't want to harm the lizards, if possible. Finally, we have a ground squirrel problem. Any ideas?
    A

    We would recommend using a product called Cy Kick CS. You can apply 3 feet up and out around the outside perimeter of you home. Also, indoors cracks and crevices. Keep in mind that this product will kill most of the pest the lizards are preying on. It will not harm lizards, but they may go elsewhere for food. Cykick is also recommended for desert conditions, because it stands up to UV rays and works really well on scorpions. It will also kill roaches that come incontact with it. You can use Maxforce Complete where you have seen the ants trailing. Be sure not to spray where you may apply the bait.

    Please visit out ground squirrel control page.  Trapping and repelling are the best options.

    Q
    Can Cy-Kick CS be used on small fruit trees (no fruit)?
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is not labeled to be used on any fruit trees at all no matter the timing. We do carry another product called Bayer Advanced Vegetable and Fruit Spray which contains the same active ingredient Cyfluthrin but in a different formulation which allows it to be used on edible vegetation.

    Q
    How effective is Cy-Kick CS against bed bugs and can it be broadcasted inside the home?
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is labeled for Bed bugs but it cannot be used as a broadcast and would not need to be when treating for them. However, we have put together Bed bug Kits that include all of the products needed to eradicate bed bugs and would be more effective.

    Q
    i am concerned about feeding outside birds next to areas sprayed with cy kick. will it harm them
    A
    Cy-Kick will be safe once the product has dried. A bird would have to consume a large amount of the prodcut to be affected. If this is a concern, refrain from spraying that area directly with Cy-Kick.

    Q
    I'm looking for a product like Demand CS or Cyonara. Cyonarra is cheap but is very odorous, what else might have lambda cyhalothrin in it for scorpions?
    A
    Cy-kick CS is virtually odorless, and will not create a visible residue or stain when used according to the recommended label rate. It is very reasonably priced and great for treating scorpions and other listed insects. White it does not contain the active ingredient you are seeking, it will be another great synthetic pyrethroid for control.

    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.

    Q
    Can I use Cy-Kick CS on my lawn that has a large pecan tree? I would like to treat mosquitoes in my yard but I have a large pecan tree that I don't want to harm (it or the pecans themselves).
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is not safe to treat on or near nut trees including pecans. You can use it in the lawn because it wont leach into the soil. We would not recommend applying right up against the tree. You can use Monterey Fruit tree spray. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    Q
    Does Cy-Kick CS work on bird mites?
    A

    Cy-Kick CS is not labeled for bird mites. 

    It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with bird mites. We would recommend having a pest control company come out and do an inspection and/or getting a sample and taking it down to your local cooperative extension office. In the mean time, there are things that can be used for your situation. Sterifab  can be used on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. This is a contact kill and will not leave any residual. Onslaught can also be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. This is a residual and can be used every 90 days indoors. You can also put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs

    We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

    Q
    Will the quart size of Cy-Kick CS be enough to treat my front and backyard? If so, how many applications will I get out of this size bottle?
    A

    Cy-Kick CS is a pint size (16 oz) bottle. Depending on the targeted pest, you will mix 1-2 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. At this ratio, the bottle makes 8-16 gallons of finished solution which should treat 8-16,000 sq ft.

    Q
    I have a cutworm infestation in my front yard. Will Cy Kick CS work?
    A

    No, Cy-Kick CS is not labeled for cut-worms. We would recommend using Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10% Permethrin Insecticide. This product is labeled for cut-worms. The mixing ratio is 0.5 oz. per 3 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft.

    Q
    Is Cy-Kick CS good to combine with Demand G (bifen) for springtails?
    We have been using Demand G to control springtails, but have noticed an increase in springtails. We were wondering if applying this product as well would help or if there's a better product to apply? Thanks for any direction you can provided.
    A

    We advise to not use both product in the same treated area as the chemicals will not work effectively when applied on top of one another. You can apply the Demand G under mulch, pinestraw, logs, or wood chips with a hand spreader according to the product label. With Cy-Kick CS we advise to spray with a hand pump sprayer of the surface of the foundation, walkways, or other surfaces where springtails are active.
