  • Asked by Bill from Pampa, Texas
    06/02/2015
    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.

    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.

  • 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 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.

    11/26/2018
    Q
    Can NyGuard IGR be sprayed directly on cats and dogs?
    I have a really bad infestation in my home. I vacuum everyday, I have bathed all the pets. I cannot remove them all from the house to spray. I was told to get the Nyguard for lice spray and I could use that directly on the animals is that true?
    A

    No, neither NyGuard IGR nor NyGuard Plus is labeled to be used directly on animals. 

    FLEE Plus IGR Aerosol is an insecticide spray for dogs and cats that are at least 8 weeks of age. It kills fleas and ticks to control infestations for up to 30 days and begins working within 5 minutes of application.

  • Asked by Regina from Springfield, Mo

    Q
    What insecticide is best to mix with NyGuard for lawns for German roaches?
    We have German roaches in our yard from a used piece of furniture sitting on the curb. I am 100% sure they are German. I am using Cyper WSP monthly on the perimeter of the house but want to get rid of them in the yard as much as possible. I would like an insecticide that will last as long as possible in the elements. I would appreciate knowing application rates for both products (the Nyguard IGR and insecticide) and also how often to apply both (either separately or together). Thank you!
    A

    Cyzmic CS is a great option for use in your lawn for German roaches. This can be mixed with Nyguard IGR and sprayed at the same time. The mixing rate is 0.4 fl oz per gallon of water. This will last for approximately 30 days outdoors and can be reapplied every 21 days.

    Q
    Can I use NyGuard with deltamethrin?
    can i use this product mixed with deltametrin based insecticide and if i can use it in a mist fogger.? also with talstar or defense.
    A
    Nyguard is labeled to be fogged and it is labeled for use with any water based synthetic pyrethroid such as Suspend SC, Talstar P or Defense. You should note however that none of the synthetic pyrethoids you mentioned (Suspend Sc, Talstar P, or Defense) are labeled for fogging and cannot be used in this manner. We do have a wide range of fogging concentrates which you can see here: Fogging Solutions

  • Asked by Stefanie from Vincennes, In
    10/11/2013
    Q
    What are the names of an insecticide that stops insect reproduction?
    A

    Insecticides do not stop the reproduction cycle of the insect, they eradicate them. IGRs (insect growth regulators) halt the reproductive cycle. Some IGR's that we carry are NyGuard, Gentrol and Archer. I have included a link below to all of them that are available on our website.

    IGRS

  • Asked by Branden from Woodburn, Oregon
    07/12/2013
    Q
    Does NyGuard repel ants?
    Is NyGuard detectable to ants? If mixed with Arilon, will ants cross over Arilon without detecting it so they will take the NyGuard into the nest?
    A
    The NyGuard IGR is not detectable to ants or any other insect so it would be picked up by the ants and transferred along to others in the colony at the same time as the Dupont Arilon insecticide you are using. Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Kerry from Safety Harbor, Fl
    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.
