    Q
    Can I spray Tekko with Alpine over an old Gentrol IGR Concentrate application?
    Hi I want to spray Tekko Pro and Alpine WSG mixed together. The exterminator did a 30 day service last spray with Gentrol was 3 weeks ago. I just want to get the areas well before putting our food and dishes away again in a few days. Will there be any bad reaction sprayingTekko over 3 week old Gentrol application? If so, how long must I wait?
    A

    Since Tekko Pro IGR and Gentrol IGR Concentrate use different growth regulator active ingredients there should be no issue with the mixed solution of Tekko IGR + Alpine WSG over an area where Gentrol IGR has been applied.

    Q
    Can you use Gentrol as an IGR for fleas?
    A
    Gentrol IGR is not labeled for fleas.  The same company that makes Gentrol does make another IGR specifically for fleas called Precor IGR.  This is the IGR you should use for fleas.

    Q
    Can you help me identify the insects in my single wide trailer?
    My husband and I live in a single wide trailer, and I know we have roaches and termites. Also, there is another bug. The bug is like a sticker that hits you and when you take it off, its green and oval. When on clothes, it's like a sticker (light in color), when it's wet it's like a space ship with a green dot. I can't get them out of the laundry. When I sprayed for fleas, I got these bugs. I don't even know what else is in the house. I need help!
    A
    Unfortunately, without seeing the insect we have no way to identify it. We recommend you either call a professional pest control company and have them come out and do a free inspection (most companies offer a free inspection/identification) or take samples of the insect to your local cooperative extension office to have the insects identified. Once you have the insects identified, we can help you select the products you will need to eliminate them. As for the roaches, we have put together a roach control kit that contains all of the products we recommend for effective roach elimination. In order to recommend what products you need for termites, we will need further information. Do you have a current infestation? If so, where? Do you have dry-wood termites or subterranean termites? If you are not sure of the answers to these questions, you could always call out the pros for a free inspection.

    Q
    Can an IGR like Gentrol concentrate be mixed with this product?
    A
    We apologize but you did not state what product you are wanting the Gentrol IGR to be mixed with so we can not say for 100% sure that there are no problems with this. However, Gentrol IGR is designed to be mixed with most insecticides that are labeled for the same insects and treatment areas as its label. Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • Asked by Michael from Wichita, Ks

    Q
    Is Gentrol a good combatant for fruit flies?
    If it doesn't work well, what is a good chemical to use for knock down and long term residual? Besides a trap/cup.
    A
    Gentrol is a product used to sterilize fruit flies. This means it will keep them from reproducing, it is not a product that will kill adult fruit flies. For knockdown of the adult fruit flies, you should use 565 Plus Aerosol or Clean Air Purge.

    Q
    Is wearing a proper mask with filters necessary when spraying Gentrol?
    This is how I was trained. However, I read the label and instructions and I never came across wearing a mask.
    A
    While going above and beyond with safety is always encouraged, the product label itself states all safety instructions that need to be followed. If there is ever a doubt, go with the label as it is what is considered law for its minimal safety equipment required.

  • Asked by Corey from Florida
    01/20/2014
    Q
    Can Gentrol be sprayed in the same place Maxforce gel baits are set? Or should I spray in different locations?
    A
    Gentrol IGR is not recommended to applied directly to the areas where the roach bait gel is present. Please keep in mind that Gentrol spreads out from its point of application. This means that the roach does not have to come in direct contact for the Gentrol to break down the reproductive cycle.

    Q
    Is it safe to use in a room with birds? Does it need special dilution?
    I have enclosed rooms with many birds in them. What is the safest area for application? Does this need to be diluted more? Is it at all airborne like the traps that you stick to the wall? I want roaches dead, but I'm worried about my birds respiratory systems.
    A
    Since birds are very sensitive, we cannot advised to apply Gentrol in any area birds may be in. Please contact your Cooperative extension Office or Vet to see what chemicals would be safe to use the bird areas.

    Q
    Is Gentrol IGR safe to use around exotic birds?
    Birdfood is put in freezer when it arrives. We've got Indian Meal Moths.
    A

    It is recommended that you remove pets from the area until Gentrol IGR has dried completely. Once the product has dried, it is safe for the birds to return to the area. We would also recommend using traps for Indian Meal Moths, such as the ProPest Pheronet Pantry Pest Trap.

  • Asked by Maria from Chicago
    11/08/2016
    Q
    What other chemical can be used together with Gentrol to get rid of bedbugs?
    A

    We would recommend one of our Bed Bug Control kits.  Which kit you choose depends on the number of rooms you need to treat. You can see the kits by clicking on the link here.  Gentrol IGR is the only birth control that has been shown to work on bed bugs.  However, it is not 100% guaranteed to work every single time in every home. With that lack of 100%, we do not include it in any of the bed bug kits but do give it to you as an option to purchase separately as an option to increase your effectiveness of control.

    Q
    Can this Gentrol IGR be mixed with Fenva star EcoCap
    It seems as we are at a never ending battle of bed bugs. We have not seen any in 2 months. Then, "bam" we saw 2 on ceiling and one on a book sitting on kitchen table.. I am so exhausted... Please help..
    A

    Gentrol IGR can be mixed with any insecticide. It is the only birth control that has been shown to work on bed bugs, however it is not 100% guaranteed to work every single time in every home.  Sprays alone are not enough to eliminate bed bugs though as they cannot be used in all the areas that you need to treat for bed bugs.  We have a great guide here that explains all of the necessary products and application.
