Either NyGuard Plus or Precor 2625 would be a great treatment for flea control if applied once every 2 weeks. Vacuum daily between applications. Make sure pets are not present during application and while the product is still wet. They can return when all of the treated surfaces have completely dried. You will need a minimum of two applications depending on the level of infestation. You will continue treating every two weeks until the fleas are gone. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas.
NyGuard Plus is not labeled to control bird mites. Please take a moment to read over our "How to Get Rid of Bird Mites" article for the best advice
NyGuard IGR is not labeled for clothes moths and would not be recommended. Please take a moment to read over our How To Get Rid of Clothes Moths article for further advice.
When applying NyGuard Plus as a fine mist, per the product label, it will dry within 30 minutes to an hour.
It would be recommended to turn off the heaters during application of NyGuard Plus to be safe. Once the area has dried you can turn back on.
We recommend vacuuming just prior to applying NyGuard Plus, and then every day to every other day after the application for the best results.
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.
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.
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.
NyGuard Plus is labeled to be used in some modes of transportation but not cars specifically. It could work but it would take time. Though It would be extremely odd to have carpet beetles in your car because they must have a food source that is of animal origin to survive and most cars do not have such a source.
NyGuard Plus is not labeled for chiggers. Onslaught would be a better choice for Chigger control.
Unfortunately, there are not really many products on the market that are actually labeled for sarcoptic mites specifically. Steri-Fab is labeled for mites in general and will very likely kill sarcoptic mites. Steri-Fab has an insecticide and an alcohol base. This combination allows for a fast kill of just about any insect that Steri-Fab is sprayed on plus a super fast drying time. Steri-Fab is NOT applied to animals or humans. You should check with your vet and physican for additional recommendations.
When using NyGuard Plus, you would want to be sure that any food that might come in contact with any spray drift is covered. Otherwise, it is safe to use around food that is covered and stored. Food that is in the refirgerator should be OK since you would not be using this product in that area as it is not labeled to be applied there.
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.
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.
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.
