Customer Reviews for Cy-Kick CS

I live by the desert in Peoria, Az. Builders are putting up new houses around me and the scorpions are invading the homes becauses of the earth being dug up around us. I got online to check to see who had a product that would kill them, because I was starting to panic that I or my bassett hound would get stung. I came across your product and saw that it was rated 5 stars, so I ordered it. It started working right away. I stopped seeing living scorpions and started seeing dead ones. This relieved my anxiety quite a bit! I can't thank you enough for your product. I will be ordering more in the spring when they are active again, but I will still spray during the winter just to make sure they don't decide to enter my domain if they should become active again before warm weather. Thanks again! You saved my sanity. I hate bugs. Arlene Brady

My wife and I moved into an older house last summer and battled roaches in our wooded neighborhood until winter came. My wife called an exterminator every time we found a roach in the house (which was every couple of weeks), so I decided to try it myself this spring to save money. I ordered Cy-Kick CS about a month ago but hadn't used it yet when I noticed a couple of huge roaches on top of the manhole cover to the city sewer directly in front of our front yard. I mixed up some Cy-Kick and sprayed a wide ring on the street surrounding the manhole cover and the next morning there were literally dozens of dead roaches within a 20 foot radius of the manhole cover. It was a total massacre. The following Saturday I sprayed a 6 foot band completely surrounding the house, and haven't seen any bugs inside yet. We'll see how the rest of the spring and summer go, but so far, I'm very impressed with this product. Every roach that crawled out of that sewer in front of our lawn didn't make it very far, and they seem to have left altogether. Great product.

Had reservations for the past year on maintaining an extermination service after our longtime reliable tech retired yet with frequent tech turnover thereafter, inconsistent results, and rising costs my hand was forced. Living in a townhouse presents problems mainly with cockroaches (i.e. German, American, Oriental species) indoors, ants (i.e. Pavement) some indoors but mostly outdoors, common household spiders, earwigs, silverfish, and pesky gnats. Investigated products used on company invoice, researched Cy-Kick CS online then found your website. Decided to do it myself so terminated contract in May 2011 after 11 years. Ordered your product early August, purchased a nozzle pump sprayer, began exterminating indoors and outdoors mid-Oct. Spotty problems to start off here and there but corrected concentration as per directions in Dec with phenomenal results as advertised. Takes me just 30 mins up & downstairs to hit corners, attic, cracks and crevices, along baseboards, behind appliances, under sinks and counters compared to scheduling monthly appts then waiting on a tech half a morning, afternoon or evening to get 15 mins of layman's service. Now every 2 months will exterminate, RESULTS BETTER THAN SO CALLED PROFESSIONALS!!!

About 10 years ago I was a licensed pest control guy that used to work for a large national chain. Here in AZ everyone is concerned about scorpions, but it seems difficult to find a residual product that controls them. This stuff really does. Once I bought my own home, I treated the perimeter with Cy-Kick CS (1.5 oz to a gallon of water) and have continued to do so every 4-6 weeks and have had literally no pest problems at all on the inside of the home. Actually the only "pest" we spotted was a dead scorpion lying in the middle of our hallway - about 3 feet from the garage entry door. This was proof to me that even scorpions are not immune to it. With two little children running around, my wife is much happier knowing this. It also controls crickets really well - another big problem in our neighborhood. It's so nice not having one of those hard-to-find crickets chirping somewhere in your living room every evening.

While it is a bit costly compared to some other products here, it is worth every penney! I will admit that I go a out to avoid AZ Bark Scorpions from sneaking into the house (if you can fit a credit card thru a space, its an open door for them - despite how much you seal, they akways find a way)... and while I go full throttle - usually mixing it with Demon WP, esp for the concrete walls around my yard perimeter they LOVE to hide in... Ive found the mix js pretty lethal/ successful in keeping them out of my house! I do get an occasional stragler (great having cats that find them quickly), but compared to the borage I used to get slipping under the front door & garage door to house - it is a SAVIOR! I get sooo grossed out just looking at them, and they put my animals (dogs esp) at high risk, esp since theses tiny little monsters are the most poisonous here in AZ. I usually also find that throwing a good piece of duct tape over them when they do show up (with a good whack) also makes sure they dont go crawling out of the garbage (or your vacuum cleaner!) Arghhh!!! I have tried multiple methods & this, again with Demon WP all along the foundation, windows, doors of my house helps me more worry free for at least the summer months befire having to spray again. A 2 gal garden sprayer (hand pump type) is a must have too! I also tend to fill it 2 or 3 times to ensure overkill for both my 4-5bdrm house AND the concrete block walls around my backyard!
