NyGuard Plus Flea and Tick Premise Spray is a residual aerosol that combines an adulticide, insect growth regulator, and patented odor neutralizer for advanced, convenient, and ready-to-use control of listed pests. The adulticide Sumithrin – a synthetic pyrethroid that attacks insects’ central nervous system -- provides quick knockdown of target pests by contact, while the insect growth regulator Nylar inhibits development of immature stages of fleas and ticks. Plus, NyGuard continues to prevent re-infestation for up to 7 months after application. (NyGuard Plus also contains a synergist to increase efficacy of the adulticide.)
Remember that proper cleaning before and during flea treatments will greatly impact the results achieved while using NyGuard Plus. It is imperative to vacuum thoroughly before application, and every day or every other day after application for at least the first 14 days of treatment.
Fleas, ticks, flea eggs and larvae. Cockroaches, dust mites, carpet beetles, and lice.
NyGuard Plus is a residual aerosol insecticide, insect growth regulator, and odor neutralizer for use indoors in residential and commercial areas. NyGuard Plus has advantages over older premise sprays, including a new spray nozzle that won’t drip and cause you to waste product, an expanded label for a more versatile product, and the inclusion of an odor neutralizer that even defeats pet odors. NyGuard Plus is ideal for treating smaller or contained areas, spot treatments, or when the convenience of an all-in-one, ready-to-use product is desired. NyGuard Plus can also be used as a crack and crevice spray for listed pests such as cockroaches.
For best results before any carpet/surface treatment, vacuum thoroughly before spraying and immediately dispose of vacuum bag in outside trash. Before treatment, SHAKE WELL and make a test application to surfaces to be treated in an inconspicuous place.
Fleas & Ticks:
Hold can 2 or 3 feet from surfaces to be treated. Turn container upside down and point valve toward surface to be sprayed. Be sure to apply uniformly using a sweeping motion to carpets, rugs, flooring, floors, drapes and all surfaces of upholstered furniture including under cushions. Avoid over wetting furniture and carpeting. A fine mist or spray applied uniformly is all that is necessary to kill fleas and ticks. Be sure to treat pet bedding, as this is a primary hiding place for fleas, ticks, and their eggs. No need to remove pet bedding after treatment. DO NOT TREAT PETS. Use a registered flea control product on your pets in conjunction with this treatment.
Cockroaches:
Spray into hiding places such as cracks, crevices, behind sinks, cabinets, along baseboards and floors, around drains and plumbing. Directly contact as many cockroaches as possible.
Dust Mites:
Spray with a sweeping motion to surfaces where mites congregate such as mattresses, box springs, headboard, floors, carpeting, and baseboard. Spray surfaces until damp. Apply on mattresses as a spot treatment to mattress seams, edges, buttons, and tufts of bed only. Do not use directly on pillows, bed linens, or cloths. Do not saturate the mattress and do not treat entire surface area of mattress. Allow mattress to dry thoroughly before replacing pillows and/or bed linens.
Carpet Beetles:
Apply with a sweeping motion as a surface spray to carpet, rugs, closets, baseboards, upholstered furniture, and around edges of carpet.
Lice:
Spray only surfaces that cannot be laundered or dry-cleaned including mattresses and upholstered furniture. Apply on mattresses as a spot treatment to mattress seams, edges, buttons, and tufts of bed only. Do not use directly on pillows, bed linens, or cloths. Do not saturate the mattress and do not treat entire surface area of mattress. Allow mattress to dry thoroughly before replacing pillows and/or bed linens.
Each 17 oz. can of NyGuard Plus Flea and Tick Premise Spray treats up to 2000 square feet. Keep in mind that most flea treatments will require at least one follow up treatment.
For indoor use in homes, hotels, offices, hospitals, apartments, schools, dorms, boats, ships, trains, trucks, warehouses, veterinary clinics, and other commercial buildings.
Indoors
See above for application directions. When treating for active flea infestations, it is critical to vacuum all areas to be treated before and after application. It is also recommended to use a product labeled for use on pets in conjunction with this treatments.
Remove pets, birds, and cover fish aquariums and ornamental fish ponds before spraying, and turn aquarium systems off.
Fleas may appear for up to two weeks after treatment. This is the pupal window – when younger stages of fleas may still emerge – and the residual activity of NyGuard Plus should kill adults who emerge during this time. Frequent vacuuming (every day or every other day) will also help encourage immature fleas to emerge more quickly while also picking up the organic matter on which larvae feed.
Outdoors

NyGuard is GREAT!

After two treatments of Ultracide, the problem was better but not eliminated. I decided to try NyGuard to see if would eliminate my flea issue and it did. I was very impressed. I have seen to fleas in the past 3 weeks since I sprayed. I continue to vacuum daily and I have stopped our problem. I am going to spray NyGuard once a quarter just to be on the safe side.

Awesome product
By Nick on 12/05/2013
This is an awesome product that works well. If you have a smaller home and a flea problem this is the way to go. If you have a large home it does get too expensive to do the two or three treatments required so if you have a sprayer that will produce a fine even spray then I suggest using conquer and nyguard concentrate. One drawback to this product however is the deodorizer in it smells like someone found a way to crossbreed the smell of febreze with the smell intensity of axe body spray. This is only during application though and does go away after a couple hours leaving a fresh smell.

Helped eliminate flea problem

Great product
By Lori on 03/23/2016
I truly loved this product and thought it was working with Suspend SC but I may have been doing something wrong or just had to big of an infestation. Our first time ever problem happened 6 months ago with fleas and they have been getting fewer and fewer but not gone and outside is also a nightmare. We do all the home remedies and thorogh cleaning over and over and over and we just could not get rid of all the fleas. I am not criticizing this product I thought it was working but I finally called a professional.

Flee control
By Nanalove on 02/07/2014
Great product. The only reason for a 4-star rather than a 5-star rating is that the spray tops in each of the cans were somewhat flawed. One did a bit of foaming along with the very fine spray, dropping blobs of product on my carpet. The other can's sprayer focused a stream rather than a misty spray, making the carpet very wet and unable to forecast in a wide arc. Other than that, good stuff. No obnoxious fumes, either.

Is there an alternative to Nyguard Plus that doesn't have a scent or at least one that's not as strong and long lasting?
NyGuard Plus is not available in an unscented formulation. We apologize but we are not aware of an unscented product for fleas. They will have a mild odor that will dissipate when dry and with proper ventilation such as PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol.
Flea Control Guide
We had a company come in and use NYguard for our flea problem. 2/6 rooms still have activity after the 2 week mark with proper vacuuming. Can I spray 1/2 bedrooms and shut the doors while still staying in the house? The rooms will not be touched until 5 hours later.
It is usually recommended to have everyone leave the home while its being treated and stay out until all surfaces have dried, even if only part of the home is being sprayed. We do understand some homes have situations where that isn't always feasible, and the home may need to be treated in stages or sections. After thoroughly vacuuming the rooms you still have activity within, you can spray the NyGuard Plus and then close the door off, and place a towel at the bottom of the door to stop any additional airflow from emerging, and allow the room to dry for several hours before resuming use. You can reapply Nyguard Plus every 2 weeks if needed for active infestations.
I was spraying basement window at garden level. There was a toad under a leaf that I didn't notice until afterwards. Just in case they may have gotten any on them I moved them well away from the area and rinsed them with 4 bottles of water immediately.
While we are unaware of any case studies of NyGuard Plus on toads, we always suggest to avoid applying to non-target animals and when they are in the area.

Yes, NyGuard Plus is labeled to kill fleas, ticks, eggs and larvae and will prevent flea infestations for up to 7 months.
NyGuard Plus is not a product that you would need to seal off areas or open windows to ventilate like when using aerosol foggers or bombs. Depending on the insects you are targeting, NyGuard Plus should be directly sprayed onto carpets, rugs, flooring, floors, drapes, as a spot treatment to mattress seams, edges, buttons, and tufts of beds, etc. You will spray until slightly damp and not saturated or soaking wet.
For best results before any carpet/surface treatment, vacuum thoroughly before spraying and immediately dispose of vacuum bag in outside. You can read the full product label HERE.

After I used a deep carpet cleaner that uses hot water and carpet cleaner then extracts it. Will I need to reapply this product? I wasn't sure if it is water soluble or if it will continue to be effective for the whole 7 months Thank you.
NyGuard Plus should be applied after any cleaning is done to the carpet as it can remove the residual.
Since this is a pesticide, are there any respiratory precautions when using this product? Obviously not spraying it and immediately inhaling it. Do I need a mask or something?
Typically a mask would not be required when applying a product like NyGuard Plus as long as it is being used correctly per label instructions. If you felt a mask was needed you are certainly welcome to wear one if it increases your comfort and safety level when you apply.

Will NyGuard Plus kill the carpet beetle larvae after they hatch or does it just stop the reproduction cycle of the larvae?
Nyguard Plus will prevent the young that hatch from maturing into reproducing adults.

No, NyGuard Plus is not labeled for scabies. Scabies mites live only on/in the skin, and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-fab to kill anything on furniture, although treating these areas for scabies is usually not necessary as they do not live long off of their host.
Crossfire has a residual of up to 30 days so we do not suggest applying NyGuard Plus to the same treated areas. The products are also not labeled for the same pests. Crossfire is labeled only for bedbugs and NyGuard Plus is labeled for fleas, carpet beetles, ticks, lice, dust mites and cockroaches. You may want to discuss the treatment with the company that is treating the structure also so that everyone has the same treatment schedule with residual products for the most effective results.
