  • Asked by Nahir from Bayamon, Pr
    10/11/2015
    Q
    What would happen if a kid licked some of the liquid of Gentrol IGR?
    A

    Children should be out of the area during treatment until dry when using Gentrol IGR.  When used as directed children should not come into contact with a treated surface while it is wet and the product is only meant to work with insects. The MSDS has further information on safety and does not list any toxicity issues. You can also check directly with your doctor or the manufacturer if this has happened and there are concerns. Zoecon can be reached at 800-877-6374.

    Q
    Will Gentrol IGR Concentrate work for bird mites? What can I use?
    A

    Gentrol IGR Concentrate is not labeled for bird mites. We have had several customers tell us that they have successfully used Onslaught and NyGuard IGR together for bird mite control. Unfortunately, because neither product is actually labeled for bird mites, we cannot give you a definitive answer on what IGR would be best for them.

    Q
    Flea outbreak
    Is Gentrol ok to use for fleas along with demon wp in a pump sprayer? I have a serious outbreak and have literally tried everything but the little babies keep popping up. My dog is on Frontline Plus and Comfortis with an Adams flea collar and still we have the little buggers. HELP!
    A
    Gentrol IGR is not actually labeled to treat for fleas and Demon WP is not labeled to be used in the areas indoors that you would need to treat to eliminate fleas.  Demon WP is only labeled for spraying on cracks and crevices and baseboard areas so it would not be appropriate or flea control indoors. We would recommend our Indoor Flea Kit which provides you with the necessary components to completely eliminating fleas in your home the most efficient way. We also have a video on that page that and in our "Learn Videos" tab that shows you step by step how to use the products.

    Q
    Will Gentrol IGR get rid of drain flies?
    We had a leak under our raised foundation which was fixed 3/1/17. The water had seeped quite far. We still have drain flies even though the rain has stopped and it has warmed up. They are even in our bathroom. I am killing 5-6 nightly. Will they ever go away?
    A

    Gentrol IGR Concentrate is an insect growth regulator not an insecticide.  This product is used to stop the reproduction cycle of insects.  It will not kill the insects.  Gentrol can be used in conjunction with an insecticide to treat an infestation.  If treating for drain flies we would suggest you use our Drain Fly Kit to get the best results.

  • Asked by Victoria from New York
    05/16/2014
    Q
    Is Gentrol the appropriate pesticide to use on fungus gnats?
    A
    Gentrol IGR is not labeled to treat fungus gnats. We do carry Bonide Systemic Insecticide Granules.

    Preventing fungus gnats from entering your home is quite simple once you know how. Inspect all new house plants before bringing into your home. Always use sterile potting material. Do not over water plants. Inspect any plant that was taken outside and brought back in. Discard heavily infested plants.Identify and repair any water leaks as soon as possible.

    If you have fungus gnats present in your home there are several steps you may take to get rid of them. First you must find the source of the gnats. Inspect all house plants for infestation by placing insect glue board traps above the plant to monitor for adult activity. If activity is present you may let the soil dry out and this may effectively kill all the larvae or remove the plant from your home. Plants may also be treated with Bifen IT to get rid of larvae and adults. Plants should be moved outside prior to treatment and allowed to fully dry before bringing back indoors. If plants do not seem to be the source of infestation search for water leaks or damage from water leaks. These areas must be repaired and properly cleaned to stop the breeding cycle and eliminate the population that is infesting your home.

    To get rid of adult fungus gnats flying around your home use an aerosol product like CB-80 Extra or Microcare. Both of these products offer a fast knock down and kill of flying insects and Microcare offers a long lasting residual as well.
