Cynoff Insecticide Dust

Cynoff Insecticide Dust, manufactured by FMC Technologies, is an insecticidal dust designed to treat voids, cracks, crevices, crawl spaces, behind walls, and other hard-to-reach areas.

This insecticide dust can be used indoors and outdoors to treat a variety of pests, such as ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, spiders, termites, wasps, and many more. This product works by leaving a thin layer of dust on treated areas. When target insects track through the dust, they pick it up and get poisoned.

Cynoff Insecticide Dust is waterproof and can even be applied in outdoor areas that might see rainfall or moisture.

Tools Needed

It is intended to be applied with a hand power duster or paintbrush.

How to Use

• Step 1: First, determine which pest you are trying to control and the application site. Determine how much Cynoff Insecticide Dust to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Do this by measuring the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiplying them together (length X width = square footage). Your application rate will vary depending on these factors, but generally, you will apply 0.32 to 0.5 pounds of Cynoff Insecticide Dust per 1,000 square feet.
• Step 2: Add the required amount of product to your chosen dust applicator.
• Step 3: Apply the dust to labeled areas. Focus on voids, cracks, and crevices where insects will frequent or harbor. Puff a light film of dust to these areas, avoiding having clumps left behind. Repeat applications should be limited to once per 7 days after the first application. 

Where to Use

Cynoff Dust should be applied to hard-to-reach areas where insects travel or harbor, such as around baseboards, in closets, around sewer and water pipes, doors and windows, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, stoves and other equipment, in electrical outlets, around electrical and telephone fittings and equipment, and under drawers and similar areas. 

Indoor Use: nonfood areas, garbage rooms, lavatories, floor drains (to sewers), entries and vestibules, offices, locker rooms, machine rooms, boiler rooms, garages, mop closets, and storage (after canning or bottling). You may also treat along and behind baseboards, to window and door frames, corners, pipes, storage locations, attics, crawl spaces, and other areas into which these pests may crawl or enter. 

Outdoor Use: Apply outdoor applications as a spot or crack and crevice treatment to building foundations, impervious surfaces (sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches, and structural surfaces (windows, door, eaves)), telecommunication conduits, junction boxes, electrical cable units, manholes, shrubs, ornamentals, roses, petunias, chrysanthemums, geraniums, carnations, and other related flowers.  

Void treatments: service ducts, false floors, and ceilings, wall voids, attics, and crawl spaces. 

Do not use this product on mattresses, pillows, bed linens, or clothes or directly on food/feed, utensils, or areas where food/feed is stored. This includes warehouses where raw or cured tobacco is stored and greenhouses (non-commercial) where crops for food or feed are being stored.

When to Use

Use Cynoff Dust as a preventative or part of a pest control program. Using before the signs of an infestation will ensure that you will maintain control over pests in out-of-the-way and hard-to-reach areas. This can also be used to treat an infestation by targeting an insect's travel path or harborage.

When using outdoors, apply during a calm, dry day to avoid drift, and do not apply when rainfall is predicted 24 hours after treatment.
