  • Asked by Javier from Van Nuys California

    Q
    en cuanto tiempo muere la bedbug despues de caminar por el area tratada con gentrol igr
    o cual veneno es el mas efectivo para que se muera rapido despues de pisar el area tratada estando ya seca el area
    A

    Gentrol IGR no es un insecticida y no va a matar a las chinches. Gentrol IGR es un regulador del crecimiento de insectos que sólo va a alterar los patrones de crecimiento del insecto y detener las chinches de alcanzar la madurez sexual. Cuando se utiliza Gentrol IGR en un programa de control de bedbugs (chinches de cama) se debe utilizar junto a un insecticida que tiene la etiqueta de bedbugs, como Temprid SC, Phantom o Equil Lambda 9.7. Cualquiera de estos tres productos mataran los insectos dentro de 24-72 horas después de caminar por el área tratado (mojado o seco). La única manera de matar a estos insectos más rápido es para rociar directamente con un producto como Bedlam o Sterifab.

  • Asked by Anonymous from Nc

    Q
    If you recommend mixing Gentrol IGR, why is it not included in the bed bug kit?
    A
    The Gentrol IGR is the only birth control that has been shown to work on bed bugs, however it is not 100% guaranteed to work every single time in every home. With that lack of 100% we dont want to make you pay for it and give it to you as an option to purchase increase your effectiveness of control. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Corey from Florida
    01/20/2014
    Q
    Can Gentrol be sprayed in the same place Maxforce gel baits are set? Or should I spray in different locations?
    A
    Gentrol IGR is not recommended to applied directly to the areas where the 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 for the Gentrol to break down the reproductive cycle.

    Q
    Is Gentrol IGR Concentrate effective on Psocids?
    A
    Gentrol has not been tested and is not labeled for treatment of Psocids. The best product will depend on where you are seeing activity. Cy-Kick aerosol is the most popular product for indoor control and Talstar P is the most popular for outdoor control.

  • Asked by D4an61989 from Nowhere
    09/19/2014
    Q
    How long do you wait to spray Gentrol and Demon WP?
    I just spray three days ago, not seeing many big ones seeing most medium size ones, not seeing small ones either, just wondering how long should I wait to spray again.
    A
    Demon WP and Gentrol should be applied once every 90 days to indoor cracks and crevices and outside crevices on the exterior of the structure. We highly recommend applying a professional roach bait gel to the cracks and crevices that you have not sprayed with the insecticide/IGR mixture. The bait should be applied once every two weeks (make sure to clean up old bait).

  • Asked by Nancy from Beaverton
    01/03/2015
    Q
    Would spraying a mixture of Gentrol & DemonWP get rid of indoor fruit flies?
    How much of each is the recommended quantity for 1 gallon of water?
    A

    Demon WP is not specifically labeled for fruit flies. The insect has to come in contact with the product and because of where fruit flies reside, this would not be a good product for what you wanting to do. It is also not labeled to be used around any type of edibles. It comes in pre-measured packets though so you do not have to measure out any specifically. One packet will be used in a gallon of water. Gentrol IGR also comes in a pre-measured 1 oz. bottle. You will use that in a gallon of water. Gentrol IGR is labeled to be used for fruit flies. You will mix it in a gallon of water and spray around the baseboards and cracks and crevices. Demon WP and Gentrol can be mixed together for future reference.

    For fruit flies, we normally recommend the Vector 960 Fruit Fly Trap. You will use 2-3 in an average sized room.

  • Asked by Nina from Amarillo, Tx
    04/01/2016
    Q
    Can Gentrol be mixed with a contact spray like Sterifab or JT Eaton Kills Bed Bugs?
    A

    No. Steri-Fab is an alcohol-based product, and both the Sterifab and the JT Eaton Kills Bed Bugs come as an end-use product (which means that it does not need to diluted with water). Gentrol must be diluted with a gallon of water to be properly applied. We suggest using an insecticide like the Temprid SC with Gentrol IGR.

  • Asked by Danielle from Houma La
    12/04/2016
    Q
    Can this Gentrol IGR be mixed with Fenva star EcoCap
    It seems as we are at a never ending battle of bed bugs. We have not seen any in 2 months. Then, "bam" we saw 2 on ceiling and one on a book sitting on kitchen table.. I am so exhausted... Please help..
    A

    Gentrol IGR can be mixed with any insecticide. It is the only birth control that has been shown to work on bed bugs, however it is not 100% guaranteed to work every single time in every home.  Sprays alone are not enough to eliminate bed bugs though as they cannot be used in all the areas that you need to treat for bed bugs.  We have a great guide here that explains all of the necessary products and application.

    How does Gentrol work in a drain?

    Apply Gentrol IGR to areas of fly breeding. For drains, apply product into and around the downspout and catch basin area. Coat these areas thoroughly as fly larvae develop in the scum buildup on the side of drain pipes.Repeat applications at 2 to 4 week intervals depending upon the severity of infestation.
