NyGuard IGR is a great product to use in combination with a bifenthrin product like Bifen IT. Bifen does not kill on contact but instead will leave a residual of up to 30 days to continue to kill those ticks and other insects that contact a treated area. Those that are sprayed directly will die faster of course but it can still take a few minutes up to a few hours or so to die after contact. We also have great guides here that can help.
NyGuard IGR is only labeled for Lone Star ticks. For deer ticks and other species, we would recommend Archer IGR.
Yes, Nyguard IGR can be mixed with Demand CS. However, Nyguard IGR is an insect growth regulator. It is like a birth control for certain pests. It does not help with the knockdown of the pests. You will use 1 fl. oz. of Nyguard IGR with a gallon of water. For a severe infestation, you will use 0.8 fl. oz. of Demand CS.
If you are looking for a product to get a quicker knockdown, we would recommend ExciteR Pyrethrin Concentrate. ExciteR Insecticide with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) was designed with a pyrethroid pesticide to amplify the efficacy on pest insects.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
