Nyguard IGR is not a green product as it is not natural or organic. There are no IGR's that are considered "green" as they are man made.
You could use the Gentrol mixture indoors and the NyGuard mixture outdoors. NyGuard will not break down as easily as Gentrol to UV rays. We also recommend that you bait for the roaches as well. Please see our Roach Control page.
NyGuard IGR is mixed at 3 ml per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft or 4 ml per gallon per 1,500 sq ft to your insecticide for mosquito control applications.
NyGuard IGR is an insect growth regulator that does not actually kill insects. It prevent the young of the insects listed on the product label such as roaches, mosquitoes, fleas, etc. It causes morphological anomalies or changes and disrupts the expected insects' state of development, leading to sterility or death. When adults are present, NyGuard is commonly used in combination with a non-IGR insecticide to kill the insects as well.
NyGuard IGR can be applied on lawns when wet but not dripping/soaked. The key to mosquito treatments is applying to the underside of leaves where the adults lay during the day. We have a great guide here for treating mosquitoes that may help as well. If you have standing water to treat, then we recommend using Altosid Pro-G in those areas.
You can apply an insecticide like Transport GHP and a growth regulator like NyGuard IGR at the same time. However, you should not mix multiple insecticides as over-applying products can actually cause insects to avoid the treated areas. You may find it helpful to take a look at our Roach Treatment Guide if you have not already done so.
