  • Asked by Pat from Selden, Ny
    12/10/2016
    Q
    Which product is better for cat fleas - NyGuard Plus or Precor 2625?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Can I use Nyguard plus in my car for carpet beetles?
    A

    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.

    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.

    Q
    If my house was sprayed with Crossfire 2 days ago, can I spray NyGuard or will that neutralise Crossfire
    A

    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.

    Q
    Are there respiratory concerns with NyGuard Plus?
    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?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Jsz from Detroit, Mi
    10/05/2022
    Q
    What are the ventilation and sealing off area recommendations when treating with NyGuard Plus? Do windows and doors need to all be shut inside the house then opened to air out for a few hours.
    A

    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.

    We are being bitten by chiggers. I would like to spray our carpet. Will this work or do you recommend something else?

  • Asked by Julie from Milton
    05/31/2017
    Q
    Will NyGuard Plus treat the house for demodex gatoi mites/sarcoptic mites?
    Can I treat walls and base boards, kitty litter area with this for possibly demodex gatoi mites( highly contagious)? Will an IGR work on these mites? I can't find life cycle on demodex gatoi mites. I had a pest control treat for bed bugs and mites. I'm still getting itchy and bites on humans and pets. Vet medicine not working on cats.
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Matt from Houston, Tx
    11/20/2016
    Q
    Do I need to get rid of food in pantry that might have spray from Nyguard Plus drift onto it?
    Or food that is in refrigerator?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Beth from Fresno, Ca
    02/18/2020
    Q
    Does NyGuard Plus kill scabies in classrooms?
    A

    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.
