NyGuard IGR and Alpine WSG are not considered flushing agents. Alpine WSG (water-soluble granule) is a non-pyrethroid, non-repellent broad-spectrum insecticide that uses the active ingredient Dinotefuran. NyGuard IGR is an Insect Growth Regulator which is like a kind of birth control for insects. It will stop the roaches from being able to reproduce and mature further into their lifecycles. The combination of an insecticide and an IGR is recommended when dealing with pests like roaches. Nyguard IGR can be added to Alpine WSG with no negative side effects. For more information on treating roaches, please review our article on How to Get Rid of Roaches for more helpful tips.
NyGuard IGR has a residual of up to 6 months when applied inside for roaches per the product label. Adding an insecticide to an application does not change this. Only if the treated areas was cleaned through mopping floor edges or steam cleaning/shampooing carpets would it be effected and not last as long. Repeat application in 6 months or mre frequently if needed. An IGR is not the only thing needed when treated roaches, please refer to our guide here for the best advice.
NyGuard IGR can be mixed with any insecticide. You will add 4ml per one gallon of water (or sufficient water to cover 1500 sq ft).

If you are looking to use NyGuard IGR in your drains for drain flies, the product label states, "Foam Application: For the control of drain/fruit flies, combine Nyguard IGR at the rate of 4mL to 8 mL concentrate with 1 gallon of diluent. To convert this diluent to a foam, add foaming agent at the manufacturer's recommended rate. Using a professional foam applicator, apply finished foam to areas of fly breeding such as drains, traps of sink, bathtubs and in floor drains. For best results, foam should be applied thoroughly, ensuring all void areas and fly breeding material is treated. Follow the requirements of the foam equipment manufacturer."
If this type of application is not something you are willing to do you can use Gentrol Aerosol IGR in the drains instead.

Any mixed solution should be used within 24 hours of combining in your tank. Flea treatments are typically done on a 14-30 day basis depending on severity in the yard.
