Yes, in fact Cyper WP is one of our most popular products for killing scorpions.  You should use the higher concentration (2 scoops per gallon) when spraying for scorpions outside because you need an extra punch for scorpions and large roaches.

Cyper WP comes with a scooper, and you are supposed to use one scoop per gallon of water.  However, most companies do not use wettable powders in larger sprayers because you are supposed to keep wettable powders constantly agitated.  You should only mix what you plan on using that day.  You should not leave wettable powders overnight or else the powder will settle in the tank and cause problems for the pump and hose the next day.  So just be careful not to mix too much that you can't use on the day you are servicing your customers.

Cyper WP can be used on flower beds. However, you have to be careful because flower blossoms can be senstive to the product. You do not want to spray while bees are actively foraging. You will use the lower rate, which is 1 scoop per gallon of water. It does leave a white residue as well.

Yes, this product is one of our best sellers for scorpions.  Cyper WP comes with a scooper inside which  you can use to mix one or two scoops with a gallon of water in your hand pump sprayer.  For scorpions you need to pack a punch, so we recommend using 2 scoops per gallon of water.  Apply around the foundation of the home outside once a month.  This will keep a good residual present and you will see a huge difference with your scorpion issue.  Even though this product packs a punch for scorpions, it is perfectly safe to have children and pets in the yard after the spray dries.  It is only strong enough to kill smaller bugs and insects. Below is a great article on the control of scorpions.

Scorpion Control

Cyper WP can be used indoors and outdoors for spider, earwig 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.
