    Q
    Is Cyper WP safe to use on a lawn with pets and dogs?
    I want to use Cyper WP due to having a lot of spiders at my house. We have found brown widows with their "spikey" eggs. We also have black widows and common house spiders. We have 2 dogs that stay outside and are known to lick, chew and dig in most places. Is it safe to apply Cyper WP in the backyard where the dogs are if I let it dry before putting the dogs back out?
    A

    Yes, Cyper WP is perfectly safe to apply around pets and/or children.  When you are applying the product you should do exactly as you suggest, which is keep the pets inside or if applying inside in another room until the product dries.  After it dries which is usually about 30 minutes, it is perfectly safe to allow pets entry back into the yard or living space.

    Q
    We have the Cyper WP. Can it be used to kill carpet beetles/clothes moths?
    My mother-in-law has an old carpet in her house that goes back to about 1962. It has damage from carpet beetles or clothes moths, we aren't sure what. We aren't even sure what the carpet is made of, but it seems to have some damage from some type of insect(?), especially around the edges. If appropriate, what would the cyper/water ratio be? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
    A
    Cyper WP is not labeled for clothes moths or carpet beetles and would not be an appropriate product for your needs. We recommend that you carefully inspect the carpet to see if you can find any live insects, dead insects or any other physical evidence other than the damage. If you do find insects present you should have them identified so you can learn the exact treatment that is needed. The entire carpet should be thoroughly vacuumed and possibly steam cleaned if the material can be cleaned in such a way. Steam cleaning with a steamer that reaches temperatures of at least 140F degrees will kill any insect or insect egg on the carpet. Please take a few moments to read our articles Carpet Beetle Pest Control and How to Get rid of Clothes Moths.

    Q
    What products can we use to get rid of scorpions, roaches, mice and rats?
    I am currently using a commercial pest defense company, and I want to start doing my own. We live in Phoenix, and our problem is scorpions, roaches and mice and rats. Can you recommend some products? We want to be aggressive when treating these specific problems.
    A

    Are you having a problem with these pests indoors? Are you just starting preventative measures to make sure they do not become an indoor problem? Cyper WP would be the most versatile and most effective product for roaches and scorpions. Cyper WP can be used outdoors to help get rid of these pests before they make their way in and Cyper WP can be used indoors to help get rid of current infestations. If you have a roach infestation indoors you should also use a roach bait gel such as Advion Roach Bait Gel around counters, sinks, cabinets and drawers and you should add an IGR such Gentrol to the same gallon of water as you mixed the Cyper WP (IGR should be used indoors only.)

    For outdoor rodent control you can use the tamper resistant Protecta Rat Bait stations with Contrac Blox . The stations should be placed around the perimeter of your home near areas where rodents can gain entry such as doors, vents, and utility lines that enter the structure. We do not recommend baiting indoors. If you have a current infestation you should use appropriate sized snap traps or glue boards.

    It is important to not just rely on pesticides to do the entire job for you but instead to make changes to the immediate environment around your home to help control these pests. This includes moving trash cans to new locations, turning mulch, sealing holes or gaps that allow pests to gain entry into your home and so on. Please read our article titled Integrated Pest Management to learn more.

    Q
    Do you have to spray Cyper WP directly on black widows or will this kill them by residual contact?
    Last summer in NM, I had TONS of black widows appearing in my yard. When I say tons, I mean every 3 to 4 feet along the fence/flower beds there would be another BW. All the "over the counter" stuff found in stores said it would only work with direct contact of the spider, so I would spend many summer nights spotlighting and spraying these spiders. Will Cyper WP allow me to just spray the fence and flowerbeds without having to hunt these critters down at night or am I just destined to stalk these things forever.
    A
    Cyper WP will kill spiders and all other insects with its residual properties in addition to of course killing the spiders when applied on them as well.  The spiders will die quicker if you happen to spray directly on them when applying the product, but the residual the spiders pick up after the product is dry will also kill them, it just may take a little longer.
