  • Asked by Mary from Phoenix
    09/02/2014
    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.

  • Asked by Roxanna from Lusby, Md

    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.

  • Asked by Shawna from Pima
    04/28/2015
    Q
    Which IGR should I use?
    Plan to use Tempo SC all year except the three months of monsoon season. I'll use Suspend Polyzone. Want to mix in an IGR with one or both of these (different times not all 3 products at once) and live in Arizona. I want NyGuard but it isn't labeled for that) main problem is roaches and spiders. I'd rather take a product that works overall much better than an IGR that works on scorpions but doesn't do as well all around. Separate question. Is there some way I can treat drains for cockroaches? At my work this is done periodically. I have definite issues with them coming up the drains. I'm thinking I could treat drains right before leaving for a week long vacation. Is there something or some methods you can recommend?
    A

    NyGuard IGR is labeled for outdoor and indoor use for various insects including roaches. It would be a great choice to mix with either Tempo SC or Suspend Polyzone. We recommend that you apply a professional roach bait gel to indoor cracks and crevices (where you are not spraying). You will want to re-apply once every two weeks (cleaning up old bait placements). You can apply a drain gel to the drains nightly for a week (when drains are not being used) and apply 2-3 squirts of Gentrol Aerosol as well. This will break up any organic matter in the drains that the roaches are attracted to and the reproductive cycle.

    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.

    Q
    Will Nyguard work on bedbugs?
    A

    Nyguard IGR is not currently labeled for bedbug control and has not been tested for efficacy on bedbugs. There is only one insect growth regulator labeled for bedbug control, Gentrol IGR. Gentrol must be used in conjucntion with an insecticide to be effective. Please take a few moments to read over our Bedbug Treatment Guide to learn hot to implement a sucessful bedbug treatment program.

    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.

    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

    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 John from Harrisburg, Pa
    07/24/2015
    Q
    Is NyGuard IGR stronger or more concentrated than Archer IGR?
    NyGuard is 10% pyridine and Archer is 1.3% pyridine. Which one is more effective? NyGuard comes in 140 ML and Archer comes in a pint(460 ML), however NyGuard is much more expensive.
    A

    Nyguard is sold in a more concentrated form, but you will dilute down to the same usage rate as the Archer if you follow the product label, .01-.03%. You will get the same results when using either product.
