    Q
    Can I mix NyGuard IGR and Tempo SC Ultra for carpet beetles?
    I am currently using NyGuard IGR & Tempo SC Ultra to get rid of black and varied carpet beetles. Is this mixture effective together? Also, do I have to spray the larvae, or is the residual enough to affect the larvae if they move into a sprayed area?
    A

    NyGuard IGR & Tempo SC Ultra mixed together will kill and sterilize Carpet Beetles. If you can get into the cracks and crevices where the larvae or pupa are, then the products will treat for the larvae and pupa stages. There is residual left and you will need to retreat every 14 days. Also, be sure to continue to vacuum often.

    Q
    How strong should I mix NyGuard for outside use for flea prevention? How long will it last outside?
    A

    NyGuard IGR would be good to use a rate of 8 ml per gallon for 1500 sqft.  Application on soil surfaces will provide 30 to 60 days of IGR activity, depending upon insect type, soil type and weather conditions

  • Asked by Ernie from Austin, Tx
    07/28/2015
    Q
    Is using Onslaught and NyGuard IGR on the furniture not a good idea for treating fleas?
    I read some reviews that Onslaught (even after drying) caused skin irritation.
    A

    Onslaught and NyGuard IGR can be mixed together and applied indoors and outdoors for treating fleas and safe if used as directed on the product labels. Onslaught is not labeled for use on furniture. We do carry products that can be applied to furniture surfaces such as Sterifab and BioDefense. We recommend that you use Ultracide for the indoor treatment as it can be used on all carpeted areas, pet bedding and upholstered furniture. Ultracide Spray contains Permethrin and Phenothrin to kill adult fleas fast. It also contains Methoprene (an insect growth regulator) to prevent reinfestation for up to seven months. Methoprene penetrates deep into the base of carpet and upholstery fibers, where pre-adult fleas live, and targets fleas in the egg and larval stages of development, preventing them from producing new infestations of breeding, biting adults. Be sure to thoroughly vacuum immediately before the treatment and every day for the next 14 days to help speed up flea elimination.

  • Asked by Joe from Millington, Nj
    06/11/2017
    Q
    Is NyGuard meant to be used on wet surfaces or in water since it's intended to keep mosquitoes from maturing?
    I'm thinking of spraying it over lawns that stay wet and have mosquitoes that don't seem to be dying from adulticide
    A

    NyGuard IGR can be applied on lawns when wet but not dripping/soaked.  The key to mosquito treatments is applying to the underside of leaves where the adults lay during the day.  We have a great guide here for treating mosquitoes that may help as well. If you have standing water to treat, then we recommend using Altosid Pro-G in those areas.

  • Asked by William from Margate, Florida
    01/02/2020
    Q
    What happens if I use a non-repellent and an IGR, such as NyGuard IGR, on roaches?
    Why do they scatter if it is a flushing agent? Do NyGuard and Alpine WSG act like a flushing agent when mixed?
    A

    NyGuard IGR and Alpine WSG are not considered flushing agents. Alpine WSG (water-soluble granule) is a non-pyrethroid, non-repellent broad-spectrum insecticide that uses the active ingredient Dinotefuran. NyGuard IGR is an Insect Growth Regulator which is like a kind of birth control for insects. It will stop the roaches from being able to reproduce and mature further into their lifecycles. The combination of an insecticide and an IGR is recommended when dealing with pests like roaches. Nyguard IGR can be added to Alpine WSG with no negative side effects. For more information on treating roaches, please review our article on How to Get Rid of Roaches for more helpful tips.

  • Asked by Ron from Villa Rica, Ga
    09/18/2016
    Q
    Is it ok to use both NyGuard IGR and Transport GHP at the same time?
    I have a roach infestation in a rental. The house has been cleaned out. I have sprayed Demand CS & Suspend Polyzone with limited success. I have recently purchased NYGuard & Transport GHP on a recommendation from a friend. Spray all 4 products? If so, what order? All all at once? Your thoughts would be appreciated.
    A

    You can apply an insecticide like Transport GHP and a growth regulator like NyGuard IGR at the same time.  However, you should not mix multiple insecticides as over-applying products can actually cause insects to avoid the treated areas.  You may find it helpful to take a look at our Roach Treatment Guide if you have not already done so.

  • Asked by Roxanna from Lusby, Md
    04/02/2016
    Q
    What bugs exactly does NyGuard IGR fight against?
    I have the little Bottle of Nyguard IGR concentrate.
    A

    NyGuard IGR is an insect growth regulator that does not actually kill insects.  It prevent the young of the insects listed on the product label such as roaches, mosquitoes, fleas, etc.  It causes morphological anomalies or changes and disrupts the expected insects' state of development, leading to sterility or death. When adults are present, NyGuard is commonly used in combination with a non-IGR insecticide to kill the insects as well.

    Q
    Can I spray NyGuard IGR in a house around infants and children?
    I am mixing NyGuard IGR with Demand CS. I know the Demand CS is safe in this environment once it dries. Is NyGuard the same?
    A
    Yes, Demand CS and NyGuard IGR should be mixed with water and applied to indoor cracks and crevices when the children are NOT in the area during application. They can return once the treated surfaces are completely dry.

  • 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 can I use with Nyguard IGR to get rid of a bad flea infestation?
    I have a really bad flea infestation due to the amount of animals i care for; I want to get something I can safely spray inside and outside around dogs,cats and of course humans.
    A
    Onslaught  would be the best option. You can mix it with Nyguard and apply as a broadcast. It is safe for people and pets to re enter treated area after drying.

  • Asked by Nancy from Houston, Tx
    07/19/2015
    Q
    Can NyGuard and Gentrol be used at the same time?
    Curious if two different IGRs can be used at the same time. Target pest is roaches, various species. I do not intend to mix the two different IGRs together in a single application. I intend to apply separately. I am currently using Gentrol and would like to also use NyGuard one week to one month later. Current program is Gentrol mixed with Bifen to control roaches in a tropical climate.
    A

    You could use the Gentrol mixture indoors and the NyGuard mixture outdoors. NyGuard will not break down as easily as Gentrol to UV rays. We also recommend that you bait for the roaches as well. Please see our Roach Control page.
