Cyper WP - Questions & Answers

Cyper WP can be used indoors and outdoors for spiders and general pest control. Cyper WP is a wettable powder formulation which stands up well to moisture, heat and sun. When treating indoors be sure that all pets and other people are out of the application area and they can return as soon as the area is dry. The Cyper WP product label recommends 2 scoops of product per gallon of water, sprayed directly into cracks and crevices, under appliances, around door frames and window frames and in places where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure. Outdoors you should spray around the bottom of the foundation, on the ground adjacent to the foundation, door frames, window frames and places where the utilities enter into the structure.

Cyper WP has been discontinued. We suggest using  Cyper WSP instead, which is labeled for German roaches. You would dilute 1 packet into 1 gallon water.

Yes, Cyper WP should be effective if you use it as a drench on the mounds. Using a shovel, scrape away the top of the mound and pour one gallon of the diluted Cyper WP into the mound. Unfortunately we cannot find one product that has been labeled for Alleghany Mound ants. Cyper WP is labeled for ants in general and fire ants specifically.

We have recently added a spider control kit to our website that includes Cyper WP, Cobweb Eliminator and glue boards. Using Cobweb eliminator will help discourage spiders from forming webs on the surfaces that have been sprayed and the glue boards will help trap wandering spiders and help monitor problem areas.

We apologize but Cyper WP is not labeled for use on dogs nor should dogs come into contact with areas you sprayed until everything has dried. If you are looking for products to treat your pets directly with, you can view the product we carry for that in our Pet Treatment area of our website.

If you know where a nest is, then direct treatment with an insecticide that will kill quickly is always the best solution.  The best method is to use a liquid insecticide or a dust directly on the nest.  For liquid you should use Cyper WP  which is a powder you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will kill the ants quickly once you drench them.  You can also treat the nest with a dust which spreads through the nest quickly.  We would recommend Delta Dust for this application.  One benefit of using Cyper WP is that it is labeled for all other insects as well and can be used inside and outside the home around the perimeter as a general use pest control treatment. 

Termidor SC is labeled for spiders, but is not our first choice for that purpose.  Termidor is the best product on the market for social insects, like termites and ants.  For spiders, you need something with a little more "kick" and also typically a powder works best because it is easier for the spiders to pick up on their bodies.  Cyper WP is a powder that you mix with water and apply using a 1 gallon hand pump sprayer.  We sell Cyper WP in our spider control kit and it is our most popular selling product for spiders and roaches.

Dust is sometimes a good option for those insects, but sometimes it can be a little messy.  I would say our best seller is actually a dust you mix with water called a wettable powder.  Wettable powders are good because they make a solution in a one gallon hand pump sprayer which is usually easier to apply, and when the water dries it leaves a residual layer of dust behind which is easier for the insects to pick up on their bodies.  Sometimes when you apply dust it can be easily over applied and not as effective.  This being said, we would recommend Cyper WP.
