    Q
    Is Martins IGR safe to use in a carpeted screen house that my 2 year old son plays in?
    Sometimes the carpet gets wet when it rains.
    A

    Yes, Martins IGR is safe if applied according to the instructions on the product label.  People and pets should be kept out of the area while the product is being applied, but it is fine for them to return when the product has dried.  It is best to make sure that it does not get wet within 24 hours after application.

    Q
    Will Martins I.G. Regulator mixed with Viper still be effective if sprayed over boric acid powder?
    A

    You should not spray products like Martins IG Regulator or Viper Insecticide on top of boric acid powder or any other dust. You will want to keep sprays and dusts, granules, or baits in separate areas so that you do not interfere with the dust. A boric acid dust or bait would not be effective if it has been sprayed with an insecticide. If you are treating for roaches, then be sure to keeps spray low and bait high. We have more tips in ourRoach Treatment Guide here .

    Q
    Protective equipment. What type of mask should be worn to prevent inhalation of the Martins I.G. Regulator?
    Specifically would something like a P95 mask or N95 mask from home depot be safe enough?
    A

    According to the SDS for Martins I.G. Regulator in most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if handling without sufficient ventilation, use NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator with any R, P or HE filter.

    Q
    Will Martin's IGR and Viper kill bed bugs?
    A

    Viper is not labeled to control bed bugs so would not be recommended.  Martins I.G. Regulator does not actually kill anything; it is also not labeled for bed bugs.  We normally recommend that you use one of our Bed Bug Control Kits to ensure that you have all of the necessary products for a complete treatment.  Which kit you choose depends on the number of rooms that need to be treated.  You may also want to look over our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more information on how to treat for this pest.

    Q
    Can I use Martins I.G Regulator in the drain for drain flies?
    I have drain flies that I cannot seem to eliminate. I read that an IG regulator will help. Will Martins IG Regulator help with this problem?
    A

    Martins I.G. Regulator is not labeled for drain flies. We recommend using Gentrol Aerosol to aid in treating drain flies. We like it because it comes with an applicator straw that eases application to hard to reach areas in and around sinks, toilets, etc.  However, drain flies breed in organic "gunk" that is down the drain.  You need something to put down the drain that will eat this gunk away or it will continue to be a problem.  This is where drain gel comes in.  We have a Drain Fly Kit just for your situation.  Drain gel poured down the drain every night for about a week will eat away at the "gunk" and eliminate the source of the problem.  So this does not happen again, you should use drain gel once a month for maintenance on your drains so the "gunk" does not build up again.

    Q
    Does Martin's IGR control fleas? If so, what adulticide should be used in conjunction with it?
    A

    Martins IGR is labeled for fleas. We would recommend using Conquer Insecticide as well.  These two products are mixed together with water.  You will use 1 oz. of each product in 1 gallon of water every 14 days until the fleas are gone.  Please take a look at our Flea Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing fleas.

    Q
    How much adult pesticide per 1 oz Martin's IGR?
    I am planning to use 1oz Martin's IGR to 1 gallon of water with the recommended addition of adult pesticide since my flea infestation is pretty horrible. How much of it is needed? Also, when I move my cat, who has fleas, then that means the fleas on him won't get affected by this once he returns back into the house right? Does that mean I have to apply Frontline or the like on him by that time?
    A

    The amount of product that you will need to use per 1 oz. of Martins IGR will depend on what insecticide you are using. You should be able to locate the mix rate on the product label. We can also better assist if  we know what the product is. Yes, be sure to keep pets out of treated area until dry and also treat pets with a flea control product like Frontline. You can find more information in our Flea Control Guide.

    Q
    Does Martins IGR kill wasps?
    A

    Martins IGR is not an adulticide and does not actually kill insects. It does interrupt certain young insects from being able to reach sexual maturity in order to prevent them from reproducing, though this does not include wasps. Please take a moment to read over our wasp control guide to learn what products and methods would best meet your needs.

  • Asked by Jake from Portland
    10/22/2018
    Q
    I used Martin's IGR in combination with Fenvastar Ecocap in the proper concentrations as listed on the labels. Now for 2 days in a row, my dog has had 2 episodes of nonstop lip licking & snorting followed by vomiting. Have you ever heard of this type of reaction? What do I do?
    A

    We have not heard about any reactions like the one described above. As long as the Martins I.G. Regulator and Onslaught Insecticide treated area was allowed to dry (and the product was applied as directed) there should not be a concern of harm to your dog. That being said we would recommend contacting your vet or poison control if your dog is showing signs of illness.

    The inactive ingredients in Martins IGR with Nylar are inert ingredients. They are not listed on the label or MSDS so that their competition cannot copy their product.

    Q
    What IGR should be used for bird mites?
    Combined with onslaught or sprayed separately? I live in California
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Faith
    02/13/2017
    Q
    Will using Martins IGR along with Boric Acid be effective enough to kill all stages of fleas?
    I know that you have to use an Adulticide along with the IGR in order to get rid of all forms of the fleas, but I don't want to use a harsh poison adulticide as I have hamsters that run around inside of balls at times.
    A

    We do recommend using an adulticide with the Martins IGR, however, it can be used alone. It will take longer to get rid of the fleas since this product is just an insect growth regulator. We would recommend using Diatomaceous Earth instead of Boric Acid since that is mainly for roaches and other crawling insects. Also, we would recommend vacuuming daily in between treatments. You may want to consider using a gentle contact kill for adult fleas such as Wondercide Flea and Tick Pets and Home, which does not have restrictions on pets or people in the area at the time of use.

    Please check out our Flea Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent fleas in the future.
