  • Asked by Michelle from St. Johns, Fl
    04/25/2018
    Q
    Can you vacuum after applying Nyguard & Onslaught Fastcap?
    Is it okay to vacuum baseboards and steam mop tile floors after applying Nyguard & Onslaught Fastcap inside the home? And how often can I reapply them for silverfish issues?
    A

    Once your application of NyGuard IGR and Onslaught FastCap has been made and you have allowed it time to fully dry then it is safe to vacuum over those areas.  If you steam mop or clean with a cleanser it will remove the insecticides and therefore be ineffective.  You may reapply the NyGuard IGR and Onslaught FastCap every 30 days.

    Q
    Can you give me an amount of NyGuard IGR per gallon of water for mosquitoes over a 2 acre area please?
    I'm using a mist blower to apply with bifenthrin.
    A

    For outdoor pests, apply NyGuard IGR at the rate of 4 ml in one gallon of water to treat 1,000 square feet. Use up to 12 ml per 1,000 square feet for insect populations that are difficult to control or in conditions that make it difficult to get control of target pests.

  • Asked by Felecia from California
    06/10/2018
    Q
    How much nyguard & Talstar P should I use in a 1 gallon container?
    A

    Per the Nyguard IGR product label instructions you can use varying rates.  You use anywhere between 4 ml - 12 ml per gal and then apply over 1000 - 1500 sqft.  Talstar is mixed at 1 oz/gal and that generally covers 1000 sqft so when mixing with the NyGuard IGR you would want to use 3 ml up to 8 ml with that 1 gallon of Talstar.  In general your first application should use the higher rates.

  • Asked by Ash from Spokane, Wa
    06/27/2018
    Q
    Is NyGuard IGR recommended for springtails?
    I am using Talstar + Excite R and in search for an IGR for springtail control and knockdown.
    A

    Springtails can be tough to eliminate because they reproduce very quickly.  Unfortunately, NyGuard IGR is not labeled for springtails.  In almost every case where people have springtails they also have a moisture problem such as a leaking or sweating pipe, poor ventilation in their crawl space, lots of wet mulch right up next to their house, etc. You must locate and correct the moisture problem to get rid of the springtails, insecticides alone will not do the job.  Please take a look at our article on How To Get Rid Of Springtails for more information.

    Q
    Can Nyguard be tank mixed with an organic phosphate such as Donate?
    A

    NyGuard IGR can generally be mixed with any insecticide but since we do not carry Donate we cannot say for sure that it would be compatible.  We would recommend referring to each product label for tank mixing instructions or contact the manufacturer of the Donate for further information.

    Q
    Best method to eradicate deer ticks
    I have a deer tick problem in my yard. I'm in the process of modifying my yard to make it less tick friendly, but I want to eradicate them as well. I've been doing some research and Bifenthrin seems to be widely used for contact kill of existing ticks. I have also been reading that deer ticks are best controlled when combined with an IGR to disrupt their breeding cycle, but I'm not sure which one to choose. I am and wondering what insecticide and IGR combination you would recommend to eradicate deer ticks specifically. I have small children but no pets.
    A

    NyGuard IGR is a great product to use in combination with a bifenthrin product like Bifen IT.  Bifen does not kill on contact but instead will leave a residual of up to 30 days to continue to kill those ticks and other insects that contact a treated area.  Those that are sprayed directly will die faster of course but it can still take a few minutes up to a few hours or so to die after contact.  We also have great guides here that can help.

    Q
    Can I put my cats in the bathroom while NyGuard IGR dries? Or should they be removed from the house completely?
    A

    NyGuard IGR is safe in homes with cats and other animals when used as directed on the product label. Pets do not have to be out of the home, but should be out of the treated area during treatment until it has dried completely.

    Q
    Will NyGuard IGR help to kill clothes moths?
    I already bought a bottle of NyGuard IGR and a bottle of Talstar try to get rid of moths in my closet.
    A

    NyGuard IGR is a great insect growth regulator choice as it is labeled for clothes moths. It will not kill the insect only impede the reproductive cycle. It should be diluted with water and applied with your Talstar P. Using a clothes moth trap is also encouraged.

  • Asked by R. from Pa
    09/13/2018
    Q
    What is the best insecticide and IGR combination to get rid of carpet beetles?
    I had my house professionally sprayed and the exterminator used Onslaught and Nyguard. I was wondering if they are the most effective products to use. I do not have a big infestation anymore, but still feel the need to spray again. Finally, after I get rid of all of them in my home, is there something I can spray periodically to prevent carpet beetles?
    A

    Onslaught Insecticide and NyGuard IGR  are both great products to apply for carpet beetles. You should treat quarterly to the interior crevices. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Carpet Beetles for additional tips and non-chemical methods to help eliminate and prevent this insect.

  • Asked by Tonya from Taylorsville, Nc
    09/27/2018
    Q
    Will NyGuard IGR get rid of bed bugs?
    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. Please keep in mind that Gentrol only stops insects from reproducing and does not kill anything, so it must be used in conjucntion with an insecticide to be effective.  Please take a moment to read over our Bed Bug Guide for more information on how to implement a successful treatment program.

    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.
