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
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.
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 treat for roaches. Per the product label, 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 for best results.
Yes, NyGuard Plus is labeled for roaches as directed only. It is not labeled to be used on stove top on inside sinks.
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.
NyGuard Plus is not labeled to treat spiders. Please check out our article/videos here on products and information that will help with this pest.
NyGuard Plus should be applied after any cleaning is done to the carpet as it can remove the residual.
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.
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.
Nyguard Plus would not kill carpet beetle eggs. It would only prevent the young that hatch from the eggs from maturing into reproducing adults.
NyGuard Plus should be applied once every two weeks until the fleas are gone (vacuuming daily). It will take a minimum of two applications (two weeks apart) but may require more applications at these intervals depending on the level of infestation.
We recommend vacuuming just prior to applying NyGuard Plus, and then every day to every other day after the application for the best results.
Yes. NyGuard Plus kills all stages of fleas quickly and provides residual control of fleas for up to 7 months. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for more information.
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.
