Q

How to use Talstar P and NyGuard IGR for general pest control including mosquitoes.
Hi. I want to mix Talstar and NyGuard for general pest control including mosquitos. I saw on this site that you recommend 3ml to a 1 gal Talstar (1oz) solution for fleas. But another website I visited said 4-8ml of NyGuard per gallon Talstar (1oz) solution for mosquitos. I'm trying to control a broad range, especially spiders and mosquitos. Which ratio should I use?

A

Per the Nyguard IGR product label instructions you can use varying rates. You use anywhere between 4 ml - 12 ml per gal and then apply over 1000 - 1500 sqft. Talstar is mixed at 1 oz/gal and that generally covers 1000 sqft so when mixing with the NyGuard IGR you would want to use 3 ml up…

Q

2nd Question for NyGuard EZ1!
So my 2nd question is, how does someone properly dispose of any remaining product without introducing it into drinking water supply or waterways or anything? Where would any remaining product need to be taken? Secondly, if after a few months the carpet gets shampooed, does the carpet cleaning water need to be disposed of in the same way?

A

Any leftover solution of NyGuard EZ1 can be poured out outside along the foundation of the home or you can spray along the foundation to help with insects outside. The product does not reconstitute later if the carpet is shampooed so you can dispose of the dirty water as you normally would.

Q

How long is NyGuard EZ1 safe to store it in the sprayer?
I have had this for a bit but haven't been able to use it because I read that you shouldn't store it for a long time in the bottle, after you have mixed it with water. Since I'm not sure how long it will take me to treat an entire house, with all of the furniture moves I know will be involved, I've been hesitating to just go ahead and mix it and do it a room at a time, because I know that this method may not get the treatment done correctly to deal with the fleas properly. Is there a recommended time frame that I can safely store it for a short period in, or do I really have to use the entire bottle all at once?

A

Once mixed, NyGuard EZ1 should be used within 24 hours. Unmixed solution should be stored in a termperature controlled environment and out of direct sunlight.

Q

Can I mix Nyguard EZ1 with Orange Guard? If so, what would the ratio be?
I use Orange Guard because it is non -toxic for pets and humans. I don't know how I would mix this together. I also have Ortho Home Defense that I use outside. I would rather not use that in the house.

A

Nyguard EZ1 can be mixed with any insecticide for application, and would be used at a rate of 1-2 oz per gallon of water depending on the pest you are treating. That gallon of finished solutuon would cover 1000-1500 sq.ft. Please see the product label for further instructions.
