FMC CB-80 Contact Aerosol 17 oz, 1 Can

Great product! I recently saw a professional pest control company using the product at a neighbor’s home. The long, slender nozzle is perfect for getting into the smallest spaces where bugs can enter the home. Kills bugs almost instantly. Definitely wash hands after using as a presentative measure.

I live in South Florida; in a quad. Myself and my neighbors have been in our building for 15+ years and only recently discovered a problem with German cockroaches. I tried several products, and none of them worked until this one. It’s been recommended, the bait or powder. However I either see relatively few of the roaches actually nibbling on the bait/powder; or, I cannot verify that they actually carry remnants of it back to their nests and that it actually incapacitates other roaches.CB-80 comes with a nozzle for hard to reach areas so you can get get in and around all nooks/crannies—just like an exterminator but way less pricey and without requiring a long-term contract. Which by the way, if your exterminator is being honest, they will admit they don’t actually treat for German cockroaches—so be smart enough to ask about your particular nuisance and get it in writing. The potency of the CB-80 actually drives out the roaches from their hiding places—dead! If you can get a sense of the trail they come out of you should be able to find and treat the nest. Note: my problem areas did NOT even contain any sources of food.It is critically important however, to maintain impeccable cleanliness and to know that it is not “one and done”. As it can take weeks if not months to get rid of German cockroaches (assuming you catch/treat early enough before the population gets too out of hand), you must be habitual/persistent/religious in treating and keeping the area extremely tidy and maintaining steady treatment.

This is mainly used as a flush. Say you see a tiny hole and ants are comming out, put the nozzle up to the hole and do a 1 or 2 second burst. This will kill the ants close by, and fumigate the rest of the hole forcing ants out and killing those that are nearby. (There is no Adhesion as this will flush insects out and also kill on contact) (the drying time is quick as again, it will fumigate a wall or hole, there is residue that is left behind, but it has no effect on passing insects. This product is easy to use as well. Hopefully this review will also help people in what theyre trying to look for. NOTE: This is also a good product for Roach issues, if there is an area they are congergating, say inside an appliance, unplug the appliance and spray into the entree hole, some will dye and some will flee, wait about 15 to 30 min b4 plugging appliance back in.

I had this bout with yellow jackets. They had got in my outside light fixture and into the wall. I had a pest controlled company to come out and spray...this is what they used to spray into my walls which finally killed the yellow jackets. Do not use the over the counter wasp and hornet spray (Black Flag, Raid) they do not work, this cb-80 spray will.

I bought this at my wit's end to control a meal/pantry moth problem. I've been battling them for about a year after moving into a new home and we likely inherited them. We did a cursory (but not stringent) cleaning on moving in, but if there's one thing you learn about these moths it's that they might not be difficult to kill, they breed and hide in the tiniest of places.I settled on CB80 after a referral from a DIY pest group, and overall good reviews here. I started with a small pantry cabinet that's adjacent to a refrigerator. First step, remove all items (mostly held food but a few cookbooks too). Second, remove all shelves. Third, blow out all the shelf peg holes - I'd say in an 8 foot tall cabinet, every single shelf pin hole was blocked with "silk" or some other insect debris. I ran a hose from the garage (which is right next to the kitchen in my house) and used an inflator nozzle to blow out all the holes. Fourth, wipe everything down. I used isopropyl alcohol, but only because this is a standard counter cleaner in our home. I sprayed everything down then closed the doors and let it sit for a few minutes.Finally came applying the CB80. Since this is a kitchen, and we have food, people and pets, I watched numerous videos on how to apply safely. I put the dog outside, told the rest of the family to go upstairs, then hosed down the interior of the cabinets, with special attention to corners and the shelf pin holes, then shut the cabinets. I also "fogged" (generally sprayed) underneath the cabinet in the space behind the kick panel. Apparently if you've ever had a mouse issue, mice like to squirrel away pet food and this can be a source of feed for meal moths, thus explaining their proliferation if you've already done your due diligence and sealed all sources of feed. We've never had a mouse issue in the kitchen, but why not spray this area if I'm spraying anyway?I then left the area for 20+ minutes, then let the area air out (opened doors) for 30 minutes. Finally, replaced the drawers and food. The product itself doesn't have much of a smell, perhaps a bit like other petroleum-based sprays, and the smell dissipates entirely.We'll see if it works. No moths yet, but if there's one thing you need to know about meal moths, is that their life cycle is such that you can go weeks without seeing a moth (thus thinking you've one), only for another batch of eggs to hatch and the cycle to repeat itself.

I'm a licensed pest control technician and I primarily use this for cockroach flushing treatments. It works great getting them to come out of hiding places. I use to buy PT565 but I think I get better results with cb80. It also has a better nozzle set up than pt565. It's easier to use. The straw just pivots up and down so it won't get lost.
