Gentrol is a product used to sterilize fruit flies. This means it will keep them from reproducing, it is not a product that will kill adult fruit flies. It should not be applied to houseplants. It doesn't sound like you are experiencing fruit flies, if they are solely in the houseplants. Fungus gnats can be confused as a fruit fly and are harmless to humans. The fungus gnat larvae can damage the plant root system as they feed on organic matter.
Fungus gnat control is fairly simple:
Gentrol IGR is not recommended to applied directly to areas where roach bait gel is present. Please keep in mind that Gentrol spreads out from its point of application. This means that the roach does not have to come in direct contact with the Gentrol in order for it to work.
Gentrol IGR is not labeled for mosquitoes. We would recommend using Archer IGR outdoors to control the life cycle of mosquitoes.
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.
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.
Most residual concentrates do not kill the insecticides instantly, this allows the Gentrol IGR Concentrate to effectively break the insect life cycle and offer 120 days of control.
We offer a N95 Valved Respirator Mask that can be worn when applying Gentrol IGR Concentrate.
1 ounce of Gentrol IGR Concentrate in 1 gallon of water will yield 0.07% active ingredient in that 1 gallon of mixed solution.
When dealing with an active infestation of roaches, we recommending using a roach bait gel, a residual insecticide, and an IGR altogether for best results. Each of these products attacks the infestation in different ways, and since roaches reproduce very quickly and require very little food and water to thrive, you want to come at the infestation with everything you have for fastest results. Keep in mind, too, that most of the roaches in a structure are out of site, so the population is much bigger than just what you see. We recommend taking a few moments to review our Roach Treatment Guide for more tips. We also sell all these products together in our Roach Control Kits. Please let us know if you have further questions.
