There is no correct up or down position when placing the Gentrol Point Source station on the wall vertically.
You may place the Gentrol Point Source near areas where you have sprayed the insecticide. It will not taint the product as long as you are following the instructions on the product label. We do recommend placing the discs somewhere up higher so that the product can slowly drift down through the air providing more coverage. Technically, the stations can be moved after placing, yes, but, there is not really a need to move them once they have been place. 1 disc will cover up to 75 sq ft of open area and last up to 3 months.
Yes, while the NyGuard IGR in and of itself would work just fine on roaches as well as fleas, leaving no need for the use of the Gentrol Point Source, you can certainly place them within the home in areas you would like more reach of the growth inhibitor. This would be a completely safe application to do.
Gentrol Point Source Stations will cause the roaches to become deformed. It also will prompt the females to prematurely lay their eggs (the eggs will also be affected by the product). You should place a Gentrol Point Source disc in each room. For the kitchen area, you can use the sticky tabs included in the package and place the disc on the side or behind the fridge or place it to the side of the cabinets or pantry. You only need to keep the disc away from food prep areas not from stored food product. Gentrol Point Source should never be used to eliminate a roach population by itself. Gentrol will not kill roaches...it only prevents them from reproducing. You should use roach baits like the Advion Roach Bait Gel and roach sprays like the Cyzmic CS in conjunction with the Gentrol Point Source. Please take a moment to look at our Roach Control Kits.
Gentrol Point Source Place Packs can be applied to walls, bookshelves, etc using the adhesive backing included. Other areas also include cabinets, closets, pantries, drawers, refuse areas, electrical boxes, equipment, false ceilings, and around doors, expansion joints, pipe chases, dressers, windows, heating and air conditioning ducts, refrigerators, and voids where pests are active.

Each Gentrol Point Source station will cover about 75 sq feet. When finding out the area in which to use a Gentrol Point Source station, you need to figure out an area of 75 square feet. You can do that by measuring out an area of 7.5 feet by 10 feet and that's the area one station will cover.
Yes, applying Gentrol Point Source in an area such as in a closed cabinet would be appropriate in a smaller kitchen area.
Another option is using Gentrol Aerosol instead of the Point Source Stations since it is ready to use and can be applied directly to cracks and crevices.
Inside the raised portion of the disc is a tiny vial with a few drops of the active ingredient inside. Once that section has been crushed and the vial is broken open to release the formula, it will slowly move onto the filter paper between the flat portions of the plastic. The liquid volume is tiny, only about a 1 ml of soluion, so the filter paper will not look soaked or even heavily wet. If you hold the disc up to light for a few moments, you may see a very slight color change that is visible once the Gentrol Point Source discs are activated and it may slowly spread over more surface of the pad as time goes by. The vapor from the drops is slowly released over time and will remain effective for 90 days. One disc should be used every 75 sq ft of treatment area.
Please view the product label for more information and instructions on how to activate this discs.

Gentrol Point Source may be used in your kitchen. Exposed food is food that is out in the open and is not sealed in a container. You will keep the device itself a minimum of 3 feet away from any exposed food. Otherwise, I would recommend using it in other areas such as on the wall beside the fridge or maybe behind the toilet.
If seeing current roach activity indoors, using a combination of residual insecticide like Temprid FX along with Advion Roach Bait Gel along with Gentrol Point Source is the most effective way to treat roach activity before it turns into an infestation. We recommend also treating the exterior perimeter foundaiton of the home with a residual insecticide as well as doing exclusion, cleaning out landscape beds, trimming bushes, shrubs, trees back off the side of the house,etc. For a successful program, check out our guide/videos here.
