For most general pest control applications, you will use 0.5 fl oz of Cyper TC per gallon of water. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
This could take time (many factors-when they actually reach the treated space to eradication) as Cyper TC is not immediate and will only eradicate those that come in contact with the treated areas during the four week residual. If you are treating for ants, baiting is very effective. Please check out our Ant Control Kits and treatment article for helpful tips.
We cannot be certain of how much and where exactly it was treated and the distance of the well. We recommend that you contact the pest control company and manufacturer (Control Solutions 800-281-2500) for information on the treatment applied to your home.
No, Cyper TC cannot be mixed with with malathion. It is never a good idea to try to mix insecticides unless the label instructions clearly state that you can do so. Mixing insecticides can cause them to not work properly.
Cyper TC when applied as a trench will stay in the soil about 3 years.
The mixing rate of Cyper TC for scorpions is 0.65 fl oz per gallon of water. This can be done every 30 days around the perimeter of your home and areas where scorpions are.
It is safe to return to areas treated with Cyper TC once dry when applied as directed on the product label, typically within 30 minutes to 1 hour.
For treating a yard, you should apply 1 ounce of Cyper TC per 1000 square feet. It does not matter if the 1 ounce you are applying is in 1 gallon of water, or 10 gallons of water, it's really however much water it takes to cover a 1000 square feet. So depending on your sprayer, if it takes you 2 gallons to cover a 10 x 100 square foot area than you would add 1 ounce to every 2 gallons in your sprayer for every 1000 square feet of yard.
You will mix between 0.5-2 gallons of Cyper TC to make 50 gallons of mixture depending on the application. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing instructions for the targeted pest.
Cyper TC is not designed to be used in a fogger at all, only sprayers or large mist blowers like a Solo 451. Using Cyper TC or any other insecticide not designed for a fogger could clog your equipment or lower the efficacy of the product, as the ingredients are not designed for this type of application. You may want to take a look at some of our Fogging Concentrates to see which best fits your needs and type of fogger.
It is recommended that you keep pets out of the area that is being treated with Cyper TC until it dries completely. Once it has dried, it is safe for them to return to the area. This is generally between 1-2 hours.
For most general pest control applications, you will use 0.5 fl oz of Cyper TC per gallon of water. Please refer to the product label for your specific pest treatment rates.
We apologize for any confusion. To make a 1.0% solution, you would dilute 5.1 fl. oz. of Cyper TC per gallon of water for perimeter treatment. There is a dilution chart of page 5 of the product label. Keep in mind that this higher rate may be applied only twice per year.
Cyper TC is not labeled to treat for red palm weevils. There is not a lot of specific research that has been done on this particular pest, but through product and manufacturer training we have heard that a product containing the active ingredient Imidacloprid such as Adonis 2F would possibly work when using it as a systemic drench around the base of the trees. However, since it is not labeled for this specific pest we can not guarantee the results.
Cyper TC would last in the soil for 5-7 years. Retreatment for subterranean termites can only be performed if there is clear evidence of re-infestation or disruption of the barrier due to construction, excavation, or landscaping and/or evidence of the breakdown of the termiticide barrier in the soil. For termite prevention you would not just spray the foundation of the home. It would need to be applied in a trench around the home to create a barrier for termites to go through. Cyper TC also only kills the termites that contact a treated area. A better product would be to use a nonrepellent like Termidor SC which will transfer back to the colony when the workers go through the soil and back down to the colony. We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.
Cyper TC is labeled for a variety of roaches. This should not be the only item being used when treating for a roach infestation. It is also recommended that you use a bait gel, such as Maxforce Magnum, in combintation with an insect growth regulator, IGR, such as Gentrol IGR.
Please check out our Roach Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches.
If you are performing a full trenching termite treatment with Cyper TC, then you would reapply that treatment every 3-5 years. For spot treatments where there are live termites, you would apply directly where there is termite activity as needed. Please see our Termite Treatment Guide for more tips, information, and videos about how to perform a termite treatment.
Cyper TC is not labeled to be used directly in sewers.You do have another product that could be used. D Fense SC states that it can as directed on the product label: For Commercia/Industrial Use Only Kills cockroaches in sewer manholes and related sanitary sites. Application Instructions: To control cockroaches in manholes, sewers, sewer cleanouts, floor drains and underground utility vaults. Apply product on manhole walls. Product may be applied via coarse spray using conventional airless spray equipment. Persons applying product in manhole must comply with CLOSED ENTRY requirements of government agencies. Apply treated latex coating with remote access application equipment.
Yes, Cyper TC is labeled for Gypsy Moths (adults and caterpillars), but not their eggs. The females start laying their egg masses aroung July. Soon after laying the eggs, the female gypsy moths die. Their eggs, however, will hatch next spring if they are not found and destroyed. The Cyper TC can be sprayed along the overhang and will kill the adults and caterpillars as long as they come in contact with the residual of the product where it has been sprayed.
