    Q
    Is NyGuard IGR photostable outdoors for 4-6 months?
    One of your previous question responses (regarding NyGuard vs Archer IGR) claims that NyGuard is photostable outdoors for 4-6 months (versus the more typical IGR, which might last 14 days outdoors). Is this a misprint, or is that claim actually documented somewhere? I haven't seen that in the label, but I'd be happy to be wrong. For that matter, are there any IGRs that last 3+ months outdoors?
    A

    Depending on the target insects, one treatment of NyGuard IGR can last for 6 months against cockroach nymphs and crickets and up to 7 months for fleas. This is for both indoors and outdoors. We recommend alternating treatments with NyGuard IGR to ensure each stage of the insect comes in contact with the insect.

    Refer to Control of Listed Insects section of the product label, the Indoor & Outdoor Control of Listed Insects and Preventative Flea Treatments section for this information.

    Q
    Is there a more cost efficient product other than Nyguard as an IGR?
    It takes 15-20 gallons to treat around the farm every three (3) weeks. At .4 mL per gallon of water, it would take 60-80 mL. This would cost between $250.00-$350.00 just for the IGR.
    A
    Nyguard would actually be your most cost efficient product as it only needs to be applied once every 5 months outdoors. It has the longest residual outdoors to sunlight and rain over all other IGR's which only hold up about 14 days.

    Q
    How often and at what rate does this product need applied for fungus gnat larvae?
    I will be applying to my fescue lawn. I have read it has up to a 7 month residual so do i just need to apply in the spring and that will get me through the season?
    A
    NyGuard IGR needs to be applied every 30 days according to the label for outdoor applications. The 7 month residual is referring to some indoor applications. For turf applications you would follow the general outdoor rate of 12 ml per 1,500 sq ft in sufficient water to cover that area.

    Q
    How much NyGuard+Permethrin SFR per tank when using a Chaplin #6005 hose end sprayer?
    Not sure how big the tank is on the sprayer. Haven't got it yet but want to use the products together in one outdoor application.
    A
     You should plan to use 1 2/3 oz of Permethrin SFR per gallon of water. You will need to add 3ml of NyGuard per gallon of mixture. The solution should be sprayed once every two weeks and a minmum of two treatments cycles.

  • Asked by Michael from Jacksonville, Ar
    10/30/2014
    Q
    What is the shelf life of Nyguard IGR if opened, but still in its original container?
    Also I see it says it will last up to seven months indoors but how long will it last outside in direct sunlight and rain. I currently do not have a problem I will use it as a preventative with Talstar. I was thinking 12ml per gallon ever three months. Thank you.
    A

    Nyguard IGR has a 3-5 year shelf life as long as it is stored at room temperatures. Nyguard IGR can be applied one a month outside. It is only photostable up to 14 days outside and can last up to 30-60 days in the soil depending on soil conditions and weather.

    Q
    Trying to kill fleas in a large yard 1.5 Acre.
    I have been trying to kill fleas in my customers yard for a year now. I have use regular Talstar and now twice used the new stronger version. I have also put down granular Bifen down as well. It takes about 200 gallons to spray his yard. Any suggestions?
    A
    Talstar is a great product to control fleas outdoors. It sounds though, that you are missing one key component. The Insect growth regulator to stop the reproduction cycle. We would recommend to mix Nyguard in the with the Talstar and water.

    Q
    Is this product safe to use on the lawn with outdoor Cats?
    I use a mix of Permethrin SFT and Nyguard for tick control along my boundry with a wooded area. Is this safe to use if I have a feral cat coming onto the property
    A

    NyGuard IGR can be applied as directed inside and to listed exterior areas (when pets are not present) with an insecticide labeled for the targeted pest. Pets can return when completely dried. It is not advised to use products containing Permethrin if you have cats.
