  • Asked by Kathrin from San Antonio, Tx

    Q
    How does watering effect NyGuard & Talstar
    How soon after I apply a combination of NyGaurd and Talstar can I water the grass? What effect does it have on the chemicals?
    A
    You generally want to wait at least 24 hours after an application of Talstar and NyGuard so that the application has time to dry and adhere to the grass and surfaces you have applied it to.  Watering too much can cause the product to lose it's effectiveness over time so you would want to apply once a month.

    Q
    When using Nyguard in a misting system with Sector how much is mixed in the 55 gallon container?
    A

    NyGuard IGR is not designed to stay in solution the way that Sector, Riptide, or similar misting concentrates are made to do, so it would not be advised to use it in a mosquito misting system. A better application for the NyGuard IGR would be in a pump sprayer or mist blower so that you can apply it to foliage in the area where it will last much longer. Please take a few moments to review our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more tips and details.

    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.

    Q
    Safe for use with Ortho Home Defense?
    I've recently been battling a roach invasion in my new apartment; they appeared suddenly a month after I moved in. I bought the 1 gallon ready-to-use Ortho Home Defense from a local store and while it's not completely useless, I wanted to know if I can add Nyguard straight to the bottle to further restrict these little buggers from driving me crazy? Thank you in advance!
    A
    We know that the NyGuard IGR is safe to be used with any insecticide, however we do not know what the proper mix would be if you were able to use it within the same container as the Ortho Home Defense since we do not carry that product. You may want to contact the manufacturer of the Ortho directly to see if they can make a recommendation of their product to be used with an IGR or any other similar product.

    07/06/2014
    Q
    I have a 120 gallon water tank I want to use this with Bifen and spray with a water pump and hose end sprayer
    What are the recommended quantities
    A
    NyGuard IGR is typically not a product that can be used in a hose end sprayer as few sprayers will dial down to the small amount of this product that is needed per gallon. You can use it in a hand pump sprayer with Bifen IT at the rate of 1 ounce of Bifen IT and 4-8 ml of NyGuard IGR per gallon of water. Once you have treated your first time with the mixture of the two products, you can use the hose end sprayer to apply the Bifen IT again 30 days later while the NyGuard is continuing to work. The rate for a hose end sprayer for Bifen IT is the same as a pump sprayer, just put the concentrate into the reservoir, set the dial to 1 ounce and start spraying.

    Q
    How can I make Cyonara and Bifen I/t more effective against Mosquitoes?
    I used a mosquito service which worked in the beginning of last year. I then purchased cyronara and bifen I/t from you and Mosquitos are still attacking. What other options do you suggest? I bought mosquito barrier to try. Should I up the dose usage? This is in the Chicagoland area where it's been raining a lot. Also we back up to a forest preserve. Please help!
    A
    There really is  no need to mix Cyonara and Bifen together for Mosquitoes. We would recommend to mix Nyguard IGR with Bifen or Cyonara. This product will break even the toughest insect's reproductive cycle to stop future infestations. The rain could be washing the Mosquito barrier away. It could also prevent the mosquitoes from coming in contact with the Insecticide.

    Q
    Can I mix 2-[methyl-2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy) ethoxy] Pyridine with Cypermethrin concentrate for later use?
    I want to store and use these concentrates with a percentage of both for german cockroaches to get them and the eggs. The mix seems to work well, can they be mixed and stored together? I like the ml system of the NyGuard IGR container. I purchased almost all my pesticides from Do My Own Pest Control. I made a quick purchase of the Cypermethrin, I forgot to order a fast knock down on my last order. Just thought I'd check to be sure I don't get a bad reaction storing these chemical concentrates in the same container.
    A
    Products containing Cypermethrin and Pyridine are meant to be stored in their original containers only and should not be mixed together.  The dilution rates are different for the two chemicals as well so you would not get an accurate measurement using one bottle for both products.  We would not advise that you mix them and store them together.  Once the products are mixed with water, also be sure to use within 24 hours.

    Q
    Can Nyguard be mixed with Demand CS?
    I am spraying a barn with a large infestation of spiders, ticks, flies, etc, with a one gallon B&G sprayer. Can I mix Nyguard with Demand CS for the best knockdown and control?
    A

    Yes, Nyguard IGR can be mixed with Demand CS. However, Nyguard IGR is an insect growth regulator. It is like a birth control for certain pests. It does not help with the knockdown of the pests. You will use 1 fl. oz. of Nyguard IGR with a gallon of water. For a severe infestation, you will use 0.8 fl. oz. of Demand CS.

    If you are looking for a product to get a quicker knockdown, we would recommend ExciteR Pyrethrin Concentrate. ExciteR Insecticide with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) was designed with a pyrethroid pesticide to amplify the efficacy on pest insects.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    Can I mix Nygar IGR with KLeen Green & Boric Acid
    Hi, Can I mix Nygar IGR, Kleen Green & Boric Acid as a good combo against many insect issues inside? Do I need something else? I usually mix 1 quart hot water, 1/2 cup Eaton brand Boric acid, then IGR (how much woudl I add of NYglar?) plus some Kleen green filled to 1 gallon in hand sprayer. Thanks
    A
    Although, we do not see why you would not be able to mix Nylar in with Kleen Green Boric acid, we can say for sure. Please contact the manufacturer of Kleen Green to make sure Nylar will not counteract the effectiveness.

    Q
    I live in AZ and need to spray the yard for fleas. Will anything work in this heat?
    Sprayed Talstar P in yard and it dried in seconds. Do I need NyGuard with the Talstar p?
    A

    We highly recommend using an Insect Growth Regulator when doing outdoor treatment For  fleas. The best IGR to use outside because it does not breakdown easily in direct sunlight is Archer IGR.  In a 1 gallon pump sprayer, mix 1 fl oz of Archer IGR with 1 fl oz of Talstar P with 1 gallon of water. Apply the solution over a 1,000 sq ft area.  Water the yard to ensure the solution gets into the thatch layer where the Flea Larvae are residing. Archer IGR has been known to last 7 months inside and about 30-60 days outside, and Talstar P needs to be applied every 30 days for outside flea control. Please follow the label instructions for applications. We recommend applying the product in early morning or late afternoon.

    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.

  • Asked by Lori from Waterloo, Wi
    09/13/2014
    Q
    If used alone, is Nyguard safe to spray (where horses graze) in a pasture?
    It has not been enough for me to treat the areas outside the pastures. Gnats, and mosquitos are bad, and in the grass, which is not terribly long but can't be cut as short as the lawn as I want to promote good grazing grass. I'd like some recommendations for natural control (IGR's and BTI if they would be safe for pasture). Essentria would be too costly long term. Thank you!
    A

    No, Nyguard IGR is not labeled to be used on pastures where animals graze.

    For mosquitos and gnats, we would recommend focusing on the trees and/or water sources in the area. Do not spray the grazing area. Put BTI mosquito dunks in the water sources. Horses can still drink from these areas that have been treated with the mosquito dunks. For spraying, we would recommend using EcoVia. It is a natural product that can be sprayed on trees, bushes, shrubs, etc. It is not labeled to be sprayed on any type of grazing area. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    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.
