Cyper TC Insecticide
Cyper TC is a professional-grade insecticide containing the active ingredient cypermethrin. It can control a wide range of insects, including termites.
09/13/25
Cyper TC, manufactured by Control Solutions Inc., is an insecticide concentrate containing the active ingredient cypermethrin. It delivers exceptional control of flying, biting, wood-destroying, and crawling insects, such as subterranean termites, cockroaches, and fire ants. It is ideal to apply before building construction begins to prevent wood-destroying pests from damaging structures.
Cyper TC begins killing targeted pests when contact is made with the chemical, and the residual effects last up to 90 days. When combating various tough-to-control insects, Cyper TC Insecticide is a great product to apply as a barrier treatment for homes and building structures.
Tools Needed
You will need a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or professional skid sprayer. When applying Cyper TC as a subterranean termiticide trenching treatment, a dirt-removing tool such as a shovel and a wheelbarrow is needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Cyper TC to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, you will need to measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length x width = square footage). Cyper TC can be applied at various mix rates depending on the targeted pest and application method. For general use outdoors or as a barrier treatment, use between a 0.1% to 0.25% dilution, which is 0.51 fl. oz. to 1.3 fl. oz. per gallon of water to treat about 1,000 sq. ft. So, for example, if you measured a treatment area of 3,000 sq. ft. and wanted to use a 0.1% concentration, you would need to mix 1.53 fl. oz. of Cyper TC in at least 3 gallons of water.
- Step 2: In a handheld pump sprayer, fill the spray tank a quarter of the way with water. Add the correct amount of Cyper TC in the tank. Fill your tank the rest of the way with water and shake the spray tank well to mix.
- Step 3: Apply as an outdoor spot treatment or perimeter spray, depending on the target pest you wish to treat. Use on a pin stream, coarse, low-pressure spray setting.
Where to Use
Cyper TC can be applied in and around residential, commercial, and industrial buildings and areas, such as exterior siding, foundations, porches, window frames, eaves, patios, garages, refuse dumps, lawns or grass areas around private homes, duplexes, townhouses, condominiums, house trailers, apartment complexes, carports, fence lines, storage sheds, barns, soil, trunks of woody ornamentals, and other areas pests have been seen. Indoors, it can be applied as a broadcast spray in attics, unfinished basements, and crawl spaces only.
When to Use
This product can be applied to areas before building construction begins to prevent insects such as termites from invading structures in the future. It can also be used after insect activity is identified, but it works more efficiently as a preventative treatment before insect activity is found. Make applications of Cyper TC on calm days when wind speeds are low to minimize drift and when rain is not in the immediate forecast.
Safety Information
Cyper TC is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying this product.
Keep all people and pets off the treated area until dry.
Special Considerations
Cyper TC Insecticide is sold to and is to be applied by licensed professionals when used as a termiticide.
