  • Asked by Alfredo from Roosevelt, Utah
    07/14/2015
    Q
    What kind of a fogger do you recommend for crawl spaces for spiders?
    Would you recommend fogging crawl spaces?
    A

    Any of the fogging solutions, like ULD BP 100 could be used to fog for spiders in a crawl space.  Any spiders that are exposed at the time of the fogging will be eliminated, but that is it.

    For indoor use, instead of fogging we recommend spraying a residual insecticide such as Cy-Kick CS into the cracks and crevices around door and window frames, baseboards, under appliances and in places where cables, pipes and wires enter through the walls.

    You can also use Cy-Kick CS to spray around the exterior on the foundation, door and window frames, around places where cables, pipes and wires enter into the structure and any other crack, crevice or hole where insects can gain entry. By using the residual insecticide inside and outside you will be eliminating hidden spiders that come out to hunt and also the insects that they are there to prey on. By eliminating the spiders' food source, you will be forcing the spiders to move out and you will be making the structures less desirable to other spiders looking for new hunting grounds. See our Spider Control Guide for more information about controlling spiders.

  • Asked by Rick from Amarillo, Texas

    Q
    I need a good preventative spay. What do you recommend?
    I am looking for a good preventive spay for indoor and outdoor use, does not have to be the same product. No bug related issues, so just something to prevent any future problems. Amarillo Texas is in the top of Texas, we have a 3000 sq ft home. I have pump type 2 gallon sprayer.
    A
    Cy-Kick CS is an ideal broad-spectrum insecticide for prevention, maintenance, or active infestations of over 55 common structural pests in residential and commercial applications. SmartCap Technology makes Cy-Kick CS ideal for a variety of surfaces, including porous and highly absorbent areas like concrete and mulch. SmartCap microencapsulation also increase the residual life of Cy-Kick CS to up to 90 days, making it ideal for quarterly pest control treatments. Because Cy-Kick CS is a microencapsulated suspension, it is more resilient in direct sunlight and more easily picked up by tough pests such as cockroaches, scorpions, and mosquitoes.

  • Asked by Katrina from Rialto Ca
    04/03/2015
    Q
    Which product of these three will be best for me? Cy-kick CS vs Termidor or Tempo
    I need help in determining which product is best for me. I live in Southern California and have an array of pest: spiders including black widows, ants, slugs, crickets, mosquitoes, wasp, silverfish, termites, etc. What is the best product for me to use? Is there one product or do I need all three?
    A
    Tempo SC or Cy-Kick CS both would be great options for you to use around your home and inside to control pretty much all the pests you mentioned and then some. Termidor would only be used if you are doing a trench treatment around the foundation of the home for subterranean termites, or if you were drilling a hole in a wall to spray it directly on a termite colony as a spot treatment.

    Q
    I'd like to mix Exciter to Cy-Kick CS to add some quicker knockdown.
    How do most effectively mix the two chemicals and does mixing alter performance of either ?
    A
    ExciteR can be mixed with any insecticide including Cy-Kick CS to give it a faster initial knockdown.  You would follow the rates on each product labels, 1 to 2 oz Cy-Kick CS per gallon of water, 1/4 to 1/4 fl. ounce of ExciteR per finished gallon

  • Asked by Susan from Austin, Tx
    03/09/2015
    Q
    Can Cy-Kick CS be used indoors? Can it be used simultaneously with Ultracide?
    I am going to use Ultracide to contol the flea life cycle in the carpeting. We don't have pets, but live in an area with a lot of wildlife which seems to cause the outbreaks. I need Cy-Kick to control the scorpions that enter the house and am thinking of spraying the indoor baseboards with it.
    A

    Cy-Kick CS can be applied indoors to the cracks and crevices for the treatment of scorpions and other listed pests. It is not labeled to be applied indoors as a broadcast for flea treatments so we recommend that you vacuum daily and apply Ultracide once every two weeks indoors for flea control. A minimum of two indoor applications of Ultracide is required. You may have to perform a third or fourth application depending on the level of fleas. We also recommend treating your pets and the outside of your home.

  • Asked by Harlan from Phoenix, Az
    12/28/2015
    Q
    Can Cy-Kick CS be broadcast over 2000 sq ft desert (gravel) yard using a hose end sprayer?
    A

    Yes, Cy-Kick CS can be applied in a hose end sprayer for application on gravel. It can be applied to the exterior listed areas on the product label once a month on the exterior of the structure. Also, you would want to spray the exterior wall of your house, spraying 2 to 3 feet up the side of the house, and 2 to 3 feet out on the ground to prevent insects from invading your home. Cy-Kick CS is a great choice for many insects that offers a great kill and residual. It will particulay good for scorpions also. It is mixed at 1-2 oz per gallon per 1,000 sq ft.

  • Asked by Joel from Henderson Nevada
    08/09/2014
    Q
    Can I spray on Palm trees where scorpions live?
    Can I spray on Palm trees where scorpions reside in Henderson, NV?
    A

    Yes, Cy-Kick CS can be sprayed around the base of the tree where the scorpions live. We would further recommend looking at the reason the scorpions are so attracted to that particular tree. They do feast on other insects and live in mulch and rocks so those could be two reasons why they are living there. By looking at and modifying your property you can make it less favorable to scorpions. Scorpions are at any given place for three reasons: food, shelter and moisture. If you can remove or reduce any one of these needs you will reduce or eliminate the scorpions as well.

  • Asked by Bruce from United States
    07/17/2014
    Q
    Which is the best to keep scorpions out of your house? Demon Max, Demon WP or some other product?
    A

    Our most popular product for scorpions is Cy-Kick CS, which is microencapsulated so it has a long residual, but also packs a punch.  There are many good reviews on the Cy-Kick page about how it works on scorpions. We also recommend the following to our customers with scorpions for the most complete treatment.

    Non-insecticide methods for scorpion control are:

    Harborage Removal- Harborage removal is key to scorpion control and will greatly reduce the numbers of scorpions in the area surrounding the structure, making it far less likely that they will enter. Harborage removal includes eliminating piles of lumber, bricks, and other stacked items that create clusters of tight spaces, elimination of vegetation and other heavy ground coverings near homes and buildings, trimming back tree and shrub limbs from walls and roof, and keeping gutters clear of leaves and other debris.

    Exclusion- Scorpions and other pests can be kept out of structures to a large degree by installing tight-fitting screens, weatherstripping around doors and windows, and caulking cracks and crevices.

  • Asked by Connie from Long Beach, Ca
    04/25/2013
    Q
    Does Cy-Kick CS work for booklice inside the home?
    A
    The best way to control booklice is by lowering the humidity in the infested areas which in turn will help eliminate the mold and fungus these insects need to survive. Infested furniture and carpeting should be thoroughly steam cleaned and vacuumed. You can spray your furniture with Sterifab to get rid of any lingering insects. Cracks and crevices around baseboards, door frames, window frames and other harborage areas can safely be treated with Cy-Kick Aerosol. You can also follow up with a dusting of Cimexa Dust to help eliminate these pests in carpet and in cracks and crevices around the home.  You cannot spray anything on books so for those we recommend you find a way to heat treat them with a device like the Packtite or you can seal them loosely into bins with Nuvan Prostrips.

    Q
    Does CY-Kick CS kill ticks? How wide a path do I spray outside of fencing to kill them?
    A

    Yes, you could use Cy-Kick CS to kill ticks outdoors. You should spray the entire affected area when treating for ticks, but pay extra attention to areas of dense brush, tall grasses, yard debris, and shady areas where animals like to spend time. If you are spraying to create a barrier, then we would recommend treating at least 5-10 feet from the fenceline. You can learn more in our Tick Treatment Guide here.

    Q
    Will Cy-Kick CS, Delta Dust, and Fireback be a good combination to treat spiders and scorpions in an old house?
    Is there any reason not to use this triple whammy: 1) delta dust into cracks, crevices, 2) cy-kick after delta dust into same various crevices, 3) fireback scorp and spider onto baseboards, closet corners, roof beams, wall corners, etc...
    A
    Your treatment plan sounds great. The only other recommendation we would have is that you also treat outdoors around the windows, doors and foundation using the Cy-Kick to help prevent getting the scorpions indoors in the first place.
