  • Asked by Victor from Pinole,california
    05/21/2021
    Q
    I just sprayed NyGuard IGR 2 days ago and it lightly rained for about 10 days ago. Do I need to reapply?
    A

    No, NyGuard IGR Concentrate is rainfast after about 6 hours therefore if it lightly rained 2 days later, the application should be fine. Typically, NyGuard IGR will hold up for a couple months in outdoor elements between treatments. IGR’s should be mixed with an insecticide for complete control of the insects as IGR’s only stop the reproductive cycle of insects, it does not kill them. The insecticide, depending on the product would need to be reapplied approx every 30 days. Refer to the insecticide product label for retreatment intervals.

  • Asked by Charles from Canyon Lake, Texas
    06/10/2021
    Q
    What is the correct shelf life of NyGuard IGR? The NyGuard IGR Bulletin states "12 months closed in original packaging" but other Q&A's from DoMyOwn state 3 years.
    A

    We have confirmed with MGK, the manufacturer of NyGuard IGR that the correct shelf life is 3 years when stored in the original container out of the extreme heat or freezing temperatures. MGK has advised they had an error on that bulletin and will get it updated as well.

  • Asked by Ryan from Alexandria, Va
    06/20/2022
    Q
    Would you recommend this combo: Onslaught, ExciteR and Nyguard
    I am looking for effective insect control indoors and outdoors. Would mixing Onslaught, ExciteR and Nyguard be the most effective? ExciteR for quick knockout, Onslaught for long lasting residual, and Nyguard to stop reproductive cycles? Can you suggest a more powerful combo?
    A
    Yes, NyGuard IGR mixed with Onslaught and ExciteR would be a very effective and powerful combination. You are correct the ExciteR is a quick knockdown, Onslaught gives you a residual, and Nyguard will stop the reproduction process.

  • Asked by Scot from Mpls, Mn
    06/15/2013
    Q
    How much should I use in a thermal fogger with 1 gal capacity
    Currently using Masterline 4-4 as adultcide. 1:7 ratio
    A
    We are going to refer you to the manufacturer for this answer as it only states on the product label that it can be used in a ULV(cold fogger) or similar misting equipment. MGK will better be able to tell you if it can be used in a propane/thermal fogger and how to dilute it if so. You can reach MGK at 1-800-645-6466.

  • Asked by Carproblems from Orange County, Ca
    04/20/2016
    Q
    My car was treated with 10mL Nyguard/1L Pyrocide for German roaches. Will more than 1 application be necessary?
    Exterminator mixed 10mL of Nyguard with 1L of Pyrocide to spay my car for German Roaches. I waited 48 hours before returning to my car, removed dead roaches...(ew) - Is this one application enough? How long until I can detail the interior of my car? Is it likely the roaches are still in my car?
    A

    Unfortunately it really is not possible for us to say whether all of the roaches are gone at this point or not.  It usually does take several applications of any product for complete eradication if a roach infestation is severe.  Sanitation is key in treating for roaches so it would be advisable to go ahead and clean/detail the car interior thoroughly now and make sure to keep it free from any food, crumbs, or trash.  If further treatment is necessary, we really do not recommend using pesticides where they may come into contact with your skin (such as car upholstery) so it would be best to use a roach bait stations such as Maxforce FC Roach Bait Stations or the Advion Roach Bait Arenas. The roaches will eat the bait and share it with any other roaches and this will help eliminate the infestation.

  • Asked by Debra from Jesup
    05/24/2017
    Q
    Can I use NyGuard IGR outside if I am using Orcon Flea Destroyer?
    Just wondering if NyGuard will kill my nematodes or stunt their growth. If they can be used together in what is the correct order? NyGuard first or nematodes?
    A

    Per the product manufacturer if used togther the Nyguard IGR would kill the Orcon Flea Destroyer nematodes. If you are using them for an outdoor application, you would want to use the Nyguard IGR and then wait 14 days and then apply the nematodes to the area. For an indoor application the Nyguard IGR has a much longer residual time which is five months, so you would need to either wait that time period or use the nematodes without the Nyguard indoors.

    Q
    What insecticide do I use with NyGuard IGR for fleas?
    So we have a flea infestation in and outside the house. So I would need this to hold up in the sun as well as be safe to use in the home. We have carpet and tile in our home.
    A

    You could mix either FenvaStar EcoCap or Onslaught Insecticide with NyGuard IGR for flea control outdoors and indoors. You could also choose to use NyGuard Plus indoors; this is a ready-to-use product that includes the insecticide, IGR, and a deodorizer in a can that is easy to apply indoors and dries quickly. Please see our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips on treating this pest.
