  • Asked by Ron from Villa Rica, Ga

    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.

    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
    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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 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 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 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.
