  • Asked by Ken from St Cloud
    11/10/2017
    Q
    Should I use Gentrol Concentrate first for roach control?
    When one has German roaches, my understanding is that you apply gentrol and wait 10-14 days to allow the sterilant to halt reproduction before you commence baiting. Baiting before that seems counter intuitive in my mind. You don't want to kill off the carriers before you've exposed the whole colony. Is my logic flawed?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Gentrol safe for pregnant woman?
    My job is spraying tonight and I'm in my 1st trimester of pregnancy. The office is not very ventilated. Is it safe for me to be in the office?
    A

    We do not recommend that the pregnant woman treat or be present during the application, while it is wet and prior to proper ventilation. Once the treated areas are completely dry and properly ventilated everyone can return to the areas that were treated.

    Q
    Can I spray IGR on furniture and beds? And if I get it on my child's toy should I wash or throw it away?

    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 Tommy from Indianapolis, In
    02/26/2017
    Q
    Is Gentrol IGR safe around kids?
    I just bought this product along with some point source for bed bugs, I intend to use the spray for the beds and furniture but is it ok to spray the beds the kids sleep on? And if so, how long should I wait before the kids can be in contact with the treated furniture and beds?
    A

    Gentrol IGR should be applied to interior cracks and crevices when the children are not present. Once the treated surfaces are completely dry then they can return.Gentrol Point Source Stations are labeled for roaches and stored pests and not bedbugs. Gentrol should not be the only product used to eradicate bedbugs and it should not be applied to areas of furniture that will have future skin contact. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article and videos on How to Get Rid of Bedbugs for a successful bedbug eradication program.
