Is this product safe to use with dogs?
admin says
Yes. Now you do need to keep the pets off the treated areas until the treatment dries but this only takes 15-30 minutes.
And once dry, there is no hazard to people or animals. In fact Cyonara is so safe, its labeled for use in vegetable gardens where crops will yield edible harvests. So walking over the treatment is not an issue for people or pets since its safe enough to be applied to plants which will yield crops we can safely eat.
For more details on how safe it is to use, view the video above which covers all the standard preparation work you need to do for making a safe application around the home.

I would like confirmation that Cyonara kills noseeums. I live in Central Coastal Florida, and noseeums are the bane of our existence.
Also, we have large numbers of Anole Lizards that populate the areas near where the noseeums might live/breed. We would like to spare the lizards, as they are effective at controlling other insect populations. Will Cyonara harm the lizards?
admin says
Cyonara will definitely kill noseeums. But as our article explains, it can be difficult to get all areas noseeums will use for nesting so in general, liquid sprays should only be used when you need to treat small areas like 2500-5000 sq/ft.
So if you have a large sized lot, like say 10,000 sq/ft or more, fogging is by far more effective and the preferred method of treatment. It takes a lot less chemical to treat using a fog (just 1-2 gallons of mixed solution to fog an acre but when liquid spraying, 10-15 gallons per acre) and overall, fogging is more effective on noseeums because of their small size.
Lastly, Cyonara (along with the other products we have listed in our Noseeum article) is an insecticide and will not impact reptiles, amphibians, etc. In other words, using Cyonara will not bother or impact your Anole lizards in any “bad” way.

Chuck Newman says
@admin: Thank you for your prompt reply!
Assuming there are no issues with Cyonara’s hose-end sprayer (Cutter’s product does NOT kill noseeums and they’re hose-end sprayer often does not work), I think Cyonara is the way I would prefer to go. We have a pool/deck surrounded by 6′ wide strips of grass and flower/plant beds. I need to be able to control the spray in those areas to avoid getting it in the pool. Our total lot size is less than 1/3 acre. When one deducts for the house, pool, deck, driveway and paved neighbor’s easement, Cyonara should cover just fine.
Question: Have any studies been done to determine how far noseeums can fly? Just curious.
admin says
Based on the size of the lot, you are right; the Cyonara should suffice. The key is getting the noseeum “pockets” treated and since you don’t have too large of a lot to maintain, there is no reason for you to struggle getting any key areas treated.
As for what to look for; key areas are generally moist, damp, shady areas where they can rest, hide from the sun, lay eggs, etc. It only takes a few such areas to develop a problem and from there, attacks will occur.
As for their flight patterns; it isn’t that far. But they don’t rely on being able to cover great distances to find targets.
Unlike horse flies or tiger mosquitoes, noseeums rely more on numbers to target prey. So what they’ll do is invade an area slowly, usually from adjoining properties, and they’ll do this over and over.
So if an adjoining property has a healthy population that can feed sufficiently, they’ll keep at it all the while spreading over into neighboring properties every time they reproduce. And since they reproduce daily, there can be a never ending supply migrating to your property almost daily.
In the end, identifying any nearby neighboring property that might be the source could help. At that point either getting the property owner to treat or deciding to treat the area yourself could prove helpful and in many cases, problem solving.

Judy Mirr says
We have noticed a heavy population of Miller moths around our home this summer. It has been an unusually wet summer in Wisconsin and it seems they are clinging to the siding, screens and looking for ways to get inside. Imagine my surprise (and disgust) when I noticed brown secretions on our roll-up vinyl blinds on our screen porch and rolling them down to clean them discovered 30-40 moths under EACH window blind. (The blinds are installed on the outside of our screen porch.) I staged war with them as they flew all over me and the area. I’ve had to repeat this a couple times although there are not quite as many. I also found a pocket of them behind a flower box that is attached to our siding. I believe they are responsible for some shrubbery and flowers looking lacey and not doing well. I’m looking for help in controlling these moths. Would the Cyonara be the best product for this? I would appreciate your input. Thank you!
admin says
Judy,
Cyonara would be a good choice to get rid of these guys. It’s commonly used on siding and plants for a wide range of pests including miller moths. Treat weekly until they’re gone; once every 2 weeks during the fall to insure they don’t lay eggs everywhere.
Now if they remain persistent on your blinds, you may have to upgrade to the stronger formula listed in our Miller Moth article. Its a concentrate you’ll have to mix with water to apply but we find it works a little better for stubborn problems.

Hi – It looks like I have lots of Clover mites on my pool deck and right alongside my house – It looks like Cyonara would be a good choice??? Would this stain my Limestone??
Thanks!
admin says
Jeremy,
No need to worry about staining. Cyonara will go on odorless and though the area will look “wet” like you sprayed it with water right after treating, as soon as it dries it will go back to how it was before spraying. And this will be true for all surfaces you want to treat including plants, cement, vinyl, wood, etc.

Elizabeth Mixer says
Yes, it works! I don’t use pesticides as a rule but the no-see-ums have been horrible this year so I acquiesced after a few weeks of getting eaten alive on the way to and from my garden. Spraying the ground sounded better than using repellent on myself every day. This product worked perfectly. It not only rid the area of no-see-ums, it also got rid of yellow flies and mosquitoes (I sprayed into the brush and up in the saplings and trees that line the property). That was over a week ago and I’m still having no problems when I go to the garden each day. I only gave Cyonara a 4 star rating because the container is solid white and I was unable to tell when I ran out. The product itself is excellent.
Heather Johnson says
The army worms have not made their way to my flower (perennial) garden, yet. Will this spray keep them away? Or only kill the ones that are present? Will the spray ruin my flowers?
admin says
Heather,
Cyonara won’t “ruin” any plant. In fact its labeled for use on just about any kind of flower, ground cover, tree, etc. including garden vegetables so its fine for use around the home for a wide range of pests. That being said, it works best at killing pests once present compared to “repelling” them. But you can try to see if it will be strong enough for your need.
If not, get some cypermethrin and use a hose end sprayer to apply it. Cypermethrin is highly repellent to any insect and they’ll avoid where its been sprayed for sure. It too is safe for use on all plants; apply it at the rate of 1 oz per gallon per 1000 sq/ft of yard.

AWESOME! Product is exactly what I was looking for. After only one application, all flying pests were gone. Our yard was overrun with noseeums and flies. You could actually see the pests fleeing from the spray. It did not harm our pets, grass or plants. This product was a life saver. We can now enjoy our yard again.
Frank Ft Worth says
Is cyonara safe for vegetable gardens (tomato, squash, cantaloupe, beans, peas, etc)? How long after spraying for safe harvesting?
Also, will cyonara kill garden pollinators, such as honey bees or bumble bees?
Will cyonara kill fire ants?
admin says
Frank,
Cyonara is labeled for use on a wide range of vegetables. That being said, of the list you included, I’m not sure any of the specific veggies you listed appear on the Cyonara label except for tomatoes. You can review the entire label for more details here:
Cyonara RTS Label: http://www.bugspray.net/labels/cyonara_lawn-garden_rts_label.pdf
Now does that mean it won’t work if the vegetable is unlisted? No. The main reason most vegetables aren’t listed is simple; its not possible to list every vegetable on every label so companies will choose a few “main” pests and main target sites and thats it. So with that being said, you should expect to achieve good results using Cyonara on squash, beans, peas, etc. for pretty much any pest they might attract. I say this because we have heard from many customers using it that they were able to control anything eating their gardens.
As for days to harvest; the label lists a wide range (1-21) so you’ll have to refer it to specifics depending on what pest you’re targeting, etc.
Regarding fire ants; the label includes fire ants and we know it will kill them.
Lastly, regarding pollinators like bees, Cyonara can kill them. But in order for this to happen, you’ll have to target them at their nest site. So in fact we sell a lot of this product for use in turf to treat digger bees and wasps. In these scenarios we know they nest there so we’re spraying their nests directly. This direct treatment will not deter the bees. They’ll actually keep using the site which in turn leads to their certain death.
But when Cyonara is used on plants they might land on, it works as a repellent only. This happens because bees and wasps will readily detect its presence. So if you spray plants they like to visit daily, they’ll actually notice the treatment immediately and simply avoid the plant. This defense mechanism will keep them safe so they won’t succumb to the active. In other words, any pollinator foraging on treated plants will readily detect the chemical and once that happens, they’ll stay away and survive fine.
Cheers,
Jonathan

I have a black oil blister beetle infestation with horses on property of three acres. Will this product do the job? Rocky property, very short grass pasture. Thanks. Getting desperate here. Lost one pony.
Tech Support says
Melissa,
Cyonara would work well. One quart would cover up to 1/2 acre but because it needs to be applied via a garden hose, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to get a treatment over much of the 3 acres (unless you have a real long hose!). For this reason you may consider getting the Essentria. Its concentrated and can be applied using any standard pump or power sprayer.
You could also get the Cyonara concentrate (link is above) and apply it via any power spraying rig. But without knowing how much of an area you want to treat of the 3 acres, its hard for me to say which option would be best. It basically comes down to how much are you wanting to treat because all the concentrates listed in our article will do the job.

I just released some beneficial nematodes. Will this product harm them?
Tech Support says
Peg,
In general, no. In fact nematodes occur naturally and for many farmers around the world, they’re a big problem. For this reason, chemical companies have created a range of products that target nematodes. Known as nematicides, these compounds are quite different from insecticides. Long story short, once mixed with water and sprayed over turf, most any insecticide won’t impact the local nematode population.

What is the impact to honeybees? Permethrin is toxic to them I understand.
Tech Support says
Tom,
Most every insecticide is “toxic” to any insect so true, Permethrin can kill them. But so can everything else we sell. But its important to understand two things relative to this fact because in general, the only way to kill bees is to intentionally target them. Let me further explain.
The first important point to consider when treating is what you’re targeting and where you’re spraying. So for most people using Cyonara, they’ll be targeting turf. Since bees don’t generally “hang out” in the grass, such applications usually won’t bother them. But if you use Cyonara on flowers or bushes bees like to visit, they could be impacted which leads me to the second important point to understand about pesticides.
So the second point is that Cyonara uses an active insects will readily detect. This means Cyonara, like most pesticides, is highly repellent to insects. Where applied, insects will avoid and this is especially true when it comes to bees because they are super sensitive to insecticides meaning they are very much aware when any are applied. So regardless of where you spray, what will no doubt happen is that the local bees will stay away and definitely not land on any treated surface.
Now obviously if you spray a bee hive directly, you will kill many of the occupants if not the whole nest. But if you’re treating your turf, pine islands, etc. around your home, it won’t affect them. They will even continue to visit your flowers (assuming you don’t spray the flowers) so the net impact will zero.
Long story short, most all insecticides are able to kill most any insect including bees. But when used properly, most won’t have an impact on the local population unless one uses the product in a way that’s very much intentional.

I found this website a few years ago while looking for tips on pest removal. I am very glad I did because not only does this site offer numerous products to help take care of business, it also offers pro tips and suggestions for which product to use for different purposes. I now buy Cyonara every year to combat gnats, mosquitos and other bugs that enjoy ruining back yard outings. The ready to use bottle is extremely easy to handle and as simple as attaching to your hose and pointing where you want to spread the product. I use it in combination with the pesticide grains that I spread through my yard, flower bed and mulch. Great product. I highly recommend using Cyonara and using the info on the site to help make perfect combos to rid summer nuisances!
Lindsey says
Will this product help with springtails? I am about to lose my mind with them getting inside of our home and on the outside columns of our house.
Tech Support says
Lindsey,
No doubt Cyonara is one part of the approach you’ll need to follow outlined in our article here:
Springtails: http://www.bugspray.com/article/springtail.html
In the article, you’ll see that for outside the home, you’ll need to apply the listed granules once a month and then spray the ground and homes siding with Cyonara as needed. This could be several times a week if they are being seen or maybe just 1-2 a month once they stop coming back. But think of the granules as the agent getting the springtails developing down in the ground and the Cyonara as the agent killing the migrating springtails you visually see.
Inside the home you’ll need to spray Cykick aerosol where activity is found. And if you see them coming up from the sink, then you’ll also need to use the Survivors down the drain. So for inside the home, the Survivors is to the drain as the granules are to the soil around the home. Following this logic, the Cykick aerosol if for treating inside the home as the Cyonara is to be used around the outside of the home.
Long story short, you’ll need to spray outside with Cyonara whenever you see live springtails and in the home, with the Cykick when they appear. But for longterm, sustained control, the granules outside and the Survivors down the drain if seen in sinks, tubs, etc.

Tech Support says
Beth,
If you refer to our Skink Control article, you will see we have detailed the treatment program needed to get rid of them from the shed and yard.
First, spray the shed and yard with the product above, the Cyonara. This will effectively take away the food they crave and must be finding around the shed. Do this in the morning and let it sit for at least 3 hours before applying the Pest Rid which chases away the skinks.
Second, apply the Pest Rid Granules around the shed using 1 lb for every 250 linear feet of ground. You many want to apply them around your home too if you don’t want lizards there either.
Pest Rid Granules: http://bugspray.com/exempt/granule/pest-rid-exempt-granules-2-pound
Lastly, spray over the granules with Pest Rid Spray. After the granules are sprayed with the liquid Pest Rid, spray the inside of the shed focusing on the baseboards and any other points of entry. Let this inside treatment sit for at least 1 hour before spraying the outside of the shed (and home if you want to protect it too). Use 1 quart of spray for every 125 sq/ft of area.

I’ve been dealing with heavy infestations of Oak Leaf Gall Mites on a giant backyard oak for 4 years. My reactions to the bites have become severe and we need to find a solution to this ASAP. If it were up to me I’d take the tree down but I live in a rental and my landlord will not remove it. I read your treatment suggestions to spray the tree in April, June and August. Is this schedule appropriate for the Dallas area/seasonal weather? The leaves on this tree don’t usually start turning until September or October and continue to fall through January. Last year I was still getting bitten in late February. Thanks for your help.
Tech Support says
Kelly,
As explained above, the oak leaves don’t “fall” like most tree leaves. But they are dying or dead as winter sets in and takes hold. During this time, the galls release which is why people tend to have the worst issue from December through spring. So for immediate relief now, treat clothing and your home as explained above. These treatments done now will offer relief keeping them under control at least in your living environment.
As for the outside treating of trees; starting in April would be wise. Plan on spraying them with the Cyonara once a month from April through October and this will control/stop any development in your yard.

Merlyn says
We have a large yard with a lot of English ivy covering. We had so many mosquitos last summer and were thinking that maybe they’re nesting in the ivy. We are also concerned about ticks since we had so many deer visit us in the fall/winter. We are considering this product to help with the mosquito problem. Would it also help against ticks? Also, do you think that removing all the ivy would truly help reduce the mosquito population?
Tech Support says
Merlyn,
If you read our Mosquito Control, you’ll see this is a viable option to use. That being said, its only good for small areas, say 5,000 sq/ft or less. This is mostly due to the way mosquitoes behave. Its not that the spray won’t kill them. It will. The problem is that its hard to cover everything when using a liquid spray.
Now if you take some time to review our online article, you’ll learn more about fogging and why its so good. Basically fogging will be way more efficient. Its super fast, uses 1/10th as much chemical and covers all landscaping plants so the mosquitoes can’t hide. This means in 1-2 years, the savings in chemical will more than pay for the cost of the equipment.
Long story short, if you’re treating 5,000 sq/ft or more, fog if you want to keep all your plants they way they are because even if you were to remove the ivy, you’d still have mosquitoes. But if you start fogging you will be able to grow any kind of plant and not have to worry about bugs as it does such an awesome job controlling everything.

Will spraying this product on my patio help with springtails as well as small beetles? I live on the second floor, in a building, facing the woods so I cannot treat the outside with granules.

Thank you for being so helpful!

Spraying the Cyonara above on the cement and any side of the building you can access will certainly help. Just be sure to monitor the siding. As soon as they return, spray again. For some of our customers with limited access like yourself who are not treating the ground below, they are reporting that spraying twice a week will usually keep them under control.
Also consider getting the Bifen XTS with our Hose End Sprayer. This chemical is more “invasive” so it will penetrate the siding more and in turn, knock out pockets of springtails better. More on this option can be seen in our article. Its listed just under the Cyonara here:

Tech Support says
Tracy,
When used properly, Cyonara will not discolor any surface. Its actually labeled for use on garden fruits and vegetables and only the safest, non-impacting sprays enjoy such labeling. The only “residue” you might see would be water spots, like those that might be left if you were spraying water from your garden hose if that was to leave a visible residue. And if it did, you could easily wipe it away. But there will be no trace of the chemical since there is only a few ounces being used per gallon of water.

LARRY DALTON says
When you spray the leaves on trees that Japanese Beetles like, does the CYONARA spray coat the leaves so when the beetles return to eat the leaves, what happens – 1). They leave & do not return – or – 2). They consume some of the leave & die. How often to you have to respray to get through there feeding stage , assuming a rain does not wash the product off the leaves. Also , what precautions do you have to follow while spraying the concentrate with a hose attached? How far does the concentrate bottle spray on a straight steam to reach the tops of trees? Please advise . Just like millions of other concerned tree & plant lovers , these beetles are quite a concern to me on how much damage they can do.
Tech Support says
Larry,
Cyonara works two ways. First, it will kill any insects on the plants you spray and do so in very little time. Second, it will keep insects away because its naturally “repellent” to insects.
Cyonara is safe enough and labeled for use on vegetable gardens, fruits and vegetables. But don’t let this liberal labeling trick you into believing its weak. In fact its plenty tough to handle Japanese beetles on roses as well as ornamental trees like cherry and Bradford pears.
Second, once applied, it will adhere to the plant leaves. This trace residue is strong enough to hold on through normal rain patterns and its natural repellency will keep the Japanese beetles away for 1-2 weeks if not longer.
Precautions are the same when spraying insecticides, fungicide or herbicide: wear goggles if spraying up so to prevent some from entering your eyes and wear rubber or surgical gloves. Standard goggles or our face shield are very good to use for this task.

As for how far the sprayer will spray? This depends on your hose. Since the sprayer works like any common adjustable sprayer, it will generally reach as far our and up as any spray guy you’ve used on your hose before. At my home the water pressure is quite strong so it can reach 28-30 feet up. But I’ve been to homes where the pressure is low and it can only reach 15-18 feet.

Roy Mollard says
We have lived in N California for 49 years and the only pesty insects have been yellowjackets until last year when we started getting insect bites galore. This year is worse. We assume they are noseeums as we never spot any insects on us or on our clothing. I have tried a dynatrap to catch the noseeums but don’t see any effect on the bugbites, the trap just fills up with moths and miscellaneous bugs. I plan to use Cyonara with a fogger to try and protect against these noseeums. However, our garden is specifically set up to attract butterflies and humming birds and my question is will the Cyonara kill the butterflies?
Tech Support says
Roy,
Cyonara sprayed over the landscape in one of our fogging machines will no doubt control noseeums as well as other flying pests that might be nesting like biting gnats, mosquitoes and more. It works fast and is highly repellent to insects so treatments can last several weeks.
As for the impact on butterflies and humming birds; there will be no impact unless you spray the butterflies directly.
First, hummingbirds won’t be affected at all as the active won’t impact them when used properly. In this case, you’re dispersing so little over such a large area, there won’t be enough chemical in the landscape to impact them or any other bird or mammal in any way. Personally I fog my property on a regular basis and I actually fog the hummingbird feeders as this keeps away nasty pests like wasps and ants who pose a direct threat to hummingbirds. Our hummingbird feeders are as active as ever and if anything, the visiting birds are happier due to our treatments.
As for butterflies; they will fly away from you as you’re treating so it will be hard to spray them directly. At least thats what they do in my yard. And once the chemical is sprayed, they’ll avoid treated surfaces so there is no risk to them as they “know” where not to land. Now if you have specific plants they like to visit and you want to continue to have them visit these plants, you can avoid fogging them as well as lightly misting them with a garden hose after fogging to remove chemical residue. In my yard, I have an issue with miller moths which are destructive once they start nesting in turf and on plants. My fogging keeps them under control so we no longer have them eating our landscaping but I also see butterflies visiting a few shrubs which get watered with our irrigation system. No doubt the water is removing the chemical so the plants are no longer repelling the butterflies and this happens within 1-2 days of when I fog so I haven’t noticed any change in the number of butteflies we see.

Good product. Doesn’t work on its own for springtail control but wne added to bifen granules or other types of spread, does a very nice job for controlling them.
Company is great too – very helpful, reasonably priced and reliable! Thanks guys!
Peter says
Great Service!
I needed advice on how to rid the garden of chiggers and Bugspray was very helpful to provide emailed advice on the product and its application. It also came very promptly – and hopefully it’s worked!
Cheryl says
Last year blister beetles invaded our yard and stripped all our plants. I would like to avoid that this summer. Would Cyonara be used prior to their arrival to keep them away or is it just to kill them once they do arrive? I’d like to avoid having them at all.
Tech Support says
Cheryl,
Using Cyonara once a month on all plants and turf will keep your yard mostly pest free so treating now, before they arrive, would be a good strategy. Cyonara will kill active insects if any are there but also works as a repellent. This means invading pests will detect the treatment and avoid the area. This causes them to find food elsewhere and once those feeding patterns are established, you’ll naturally see less activity on your property all summer.

Sharon De Gaspe Power says
Is cyonara effective for leek moth (attacks garlic) if not what would you recommend.
Also, what do you recommend for aphids?
Thank you
Tech Support says
Sharon,
If you are spraying garden veggies, the Cyonara would be your best bet. It will control all moths, caterpillars and more.
Cyonara RTS: https://bugspray.com/catalog/insecticide/liquid/cyonara-32-oz-rts
It even works on aphids.
Now if the plants/shrubs/trees you want to protect are not producing fruit or vegetables, use Prothor systemic. One treatment per season is all you’ll need.

Hello,
Is this product (and related products for a springtail invasion) safe for the mammals and birds that frequent our yard? We have chipmunks and bunnies that live in the garden where we think the springtails are nesting and moving into the house. We also have deer and birds stop by for meals. We need to curb the springtails, but love our other visitors.
Thank you for the helpful information!
Tech Support says
Kate,
Cyonara is fine for use over grass, flowers and other plants and will not pose a hazard to animals that eat the treated vegetation. In fact Cyonara is so safe, its labeled for use on edible fruits and vegetables people are growing for their own personal consumption (more on that can be read on the product label, link above).

Just a note to let you know how this stuff is working . There are no more squash bugs !!!!!!!!!!!!! This stuff is the nuclear bomb against squash bugs . Thanks, Roye
Sheree Harrington says
Good Product Pros: Easy to use. Hooks up directly to hose.
Cons: Not sure of its effectiveness. Have been using this product for years and has not fully solved the springtail issue. I believe it helps keep them at minimum but have been unable to totally eradicate the problem.
Jeanine Chambers says
This product is great! Thank you bug spray.com. I have had success using this product. With knocking down springtails from my siding and surrounding the home. I’ve had springtails in my bathroom and den. Read the article on this site and followed the applications for NY. It takes consistency but I see it working. Springtails are a nuisance and you have to keep at them to get rid of them from coming inside.
Joy says
Can I use this on my house plants before bringing them in for the winter? Concern is bringing in stink bugs for the winter. Thanks!
Tech Support says
Joy,
Not 100% sure but probably yes. This Cyonara is actually labeled for use on garden vegetables and fruits and only the safest products get that type of labeling. And if you’ve been keeping these plants outside all summer, they’re probably more than hardy and strong enough to handle the treatment so as long as you don’t overdo it and spray them outside allowing a good 1-2 hours to dry, they should be fine.

Great Product! We had lots of skinks and occasional snakes (black and copperhead) around the house and in the garage. Treated all the foilage and ground around the house with Cyonara and within one day no skink sightings. Two weeks in and all’s clear. Recommendations from Bugspray spot on and appreciated.
Mar says
I liked how easy it was to maneuver the product bottle connected to the hose. I used it in my flower beds and house perimeter. I mainly concentrated on my boxwoods in the front flower beds. I only have one plant in my back flowerbeds, so I was just spraying the dirt that was in the rest of the flowerbed. I believe a little mist touched a flowering lily and three flowers died, but the rest were fine.
