Nyguard IGR is not labeled for springtails. However, it can be mixed with Cy-Kick CS to disrupt the life cycle of other pests, such as ants, roaches, silverfish, and other listed pests.
NyGuard IGR would be good to use a rate of 8 ml per gallon for 1500 sqft. Application on soil surfaces will provide 30 to 60 days of IGR activity, depending upon insect type, soil type and weather conditions
You could mix the Nylar IGR with any insectidie including, Termidor SC, following each product label for rates. Be aware that Termidor SC is only applied adjacent to structures 1 to 2 feet up and out whereas Nyguard has the broader label for yards and shrubs etc.
NyGuard IGR is safe in homes with cats and other animals when used as directed on the product label. Pets should be out of the treated area during treatment until dry, typically 30 minutes to 1 hour.
NyGuard IGR would be applied to the cracks and crevices around the rooms with hard floor surfaces. In most cases, the fleas will develop in upholstered furniture, pet beds, rugs and carpeted areas as hard surfaces are not very habitable for them. Spray directly into cracks and crevices on the floor as well. Vacuuming the crevices immediately before spraying will help to remove some of the flea eggs and stimulate the developing pupa to become exposed. With heavy infestations, you may need to retreat after 14 days to get rid of the stragglers.
NyGuard IGR should be diluted with water and applied with a hand pump sprayer. For both fleas and cockroaches, it is recommend to use an adulticide (insecticide) along with the NyGuard: NyGuard will not kill existing adult insects; it will only affect immature stages. An insecticide like Onslaught Insecticide would be great to use with NyGuard for roaches and fleas. You would use 0.5 to 1.0 fl. oz. of Onslaught with 8 mL of NyGuard IGR per gallon of water and apply as a broadcast spray in areas with fleas, such as carpets. For roaches, treats cracks and crevices where these insects hide or are likely to travel. Please see our Treatment Guides for these pests for more tips and information:

A great option for Gentrol roach control would be Temprid SC mixed with Nyguard IGR. Temprid SC has two active ingredients in it that work together to combat insects. It can be used every 21 days indoors for roaches as needed. The mixing ratio is between 8-16 ml per gallon of water. Also, it is recommended that you use a bait gel, such as Maxforce Magnum, inside of your cabinets and drawers. Be sure not to spray any insecticide on the bait gel, because it will contaminate it and roaches will not consume it.
Please check out our Roach Guide with tips on how to treat and prevent roaches.
