    Does nyguard igr work on springtails along with a residual like cy kick?
    A

    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.

    What do you recommend to use for adult roaches if I use Nyguard IGR for future infestation?
    A

    You can mix Nyguard IGR and Phantom together for roach treatments. You will use 3 fl oz of Phantom + 8mL of Nyguard + 1 gallon of water to Indoors (Crack & Crevice Only) and Outdoors around the Perimeter. Please take a moment to look at our Roach Control Kit Roatation A for beginning or cleanout treatments of cockroach infestations in homes.

  • Asked by Carproblems from Orange County, Ca
    04/20/2016
    Q
    My car was treated with 10mL Nyguard/1L Pyrocide for German roaches. Will more than 1 application be necessary?
    Exterminator mixed 10mL of Nyguard with 1L of Pyrocide to spay my car for German Roaches. I waited 48 hours before returning to my car, removed dead roaches...(ew) - Is this one application enough? How long until I can detail the interior of my car? Is it likely the roaches are still in my car?
    A

    Unfortunately it really is not possible for us to say whether all of the roaches are gone at this point or not.  It usually does take several applications of any product for complete eradication if a roach infestation is severe.  Sanitation is key in treating for roaches so it would be advisable to go ahead and clean/detail the car interior thoroughly now and make sure to keep it free from any food, crumbs, or trash.  If further treatment is necessary, we really do not recommend using pesticides where they may come into contact with your skin (such as car upholstery) so it would be best to use a roach bait stations such as Maxforce FC Roach Bait Stations or the Advion Roach Bait Arenas. The roaches will eat the bait and share it with any other roaches and this will help eliminate the infestation.

  • Asked by Roxanna from Lusby, Md
    04/02/2016
    Q
    What bugs exactly does NyGuard IGR fight against?
    I have the little Bottle of Nyguard IGR concentrate.
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Art from Cary, Nc
    03/22/2016
    Q
    Even though it's a little early in the year for mosquitoes to be out, will using an IGR like NyGuard IGR on the first seasonal treatment help prevent reproduction?
    Using Nyguard with Bifen IT for mosquito prevention
    A

    You can always add an IGR labeled for mosquitoes such as NyGuard IGR to your insecticide. Mosquitoes generally do not bite when temperatures are less than 50 degrees F, and they do need a water source to breed. It is always best to treat preventatively than to wait until populations are high. Please see our Mosquito Prevention Guide for more information about how to keep populations down.

    What is the safest flea adulticide I can use with NyGuard IGR for hardwood floors?.
    I have indoor cats.
    A

    FenvaStar EcoCap can be applied indoors mixed with NyGuard IGR for flea control. It is mixed at 1-2 oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.

    Q
    Will Nyguard work on bedbugs?

    Nyguard IGR is not currently labeled for bedbug control and has not been tested for efficacy on bedbugs. There is only one insect growth regulator labeled for bedbug control, Gentrol IGR. Gentrol must be used in conjucntion with an insecticide to be effective.

    Q
    How long do we have to wait before entering house after NyGuard IGR application?
    We just sprayed the inside of our house with nyguard and I was wondering how long do we have to wait before we can go inside? I have a 11 month old who is still crawling. Is there anything I need to do to make it safe for him?
    A

    You can re enter after the NyGuard IGR treated area has dried. Normally about 2 hours. Like with most insecticides when applied per label it is safe for children and pets to be around after it dried.

    Q
    Do I need to mix anything with NyGuard IGR to kill adult fleas in my home?

    NyGuard IGR should be mixed with a liquid concentrate such as Onslaught that can be applied indoors for eradicating the fleas. You can mix the two products together with water and apply once every two weeks (minimum of 2 applications). Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas.

  • Asked by Ernie from Austin, Tx
    07/28/2015
    Q
    Is using Onslaught and NyGuard IGR on the furniture not a good idea for treating fleas?
    I read some reviews that Onslaught (even after drying) caused skin irritation.
    A

    Onslaught and NyGuard IGR can be mixed together and applied indoors and outdoors for treating fleas and safe if used as directed on the product labels. Onslaught is not labeled for use on furniture. We do carry products that can be applied to furniture surfaces such as Sterifab and BioDefense. We recommend that you use Ultracide for the indoor treatment as it can be used on all carpeted areas, pet bedding and upholstered furniture. Ultracide Spray contains Permethrin and Phenothrin to kill adult fleas fast. It also contains Methoprene (an insect growth regulator) to prevent reinfestation for up to seven months. Methoprene penetrates deep into the base of carpet and upholstery fibers, where pre-adult fleas live, and targets fleas in the egg and larval stages of development, preventing them from producing new infestations of breeding, biting adults. Be sure to thoroughly vacuum immediately before the treatment and every day for the next 14 days to help speed up flea elimination.

  • Asked by John from Harrisburg, Pa
    07/24/2015
    Q
    Is NyGuard IGR stronger or more concentrated than Archer IGR?
    NyGuard is 10% pyridine and Archer is 1.3% pyridine. Which one is more effective? NyGuard comes in 140 ML and Archer comes in a pint(460 ML), however NyGuard is much more expensive.
    A

    Nyguard is sold in a more concentrated form, but you will dilute down to the same usage rate as the Archer if you follow the product label, .01-.03%. You will get the same results when using either product.

    Q
    Can I use Nyguard IGR for thrips?
    I have thrips inside of my house. Will this IGR be effective against them? I was hoping to mix it with Bifen IT.
    A

    No, Nyguard IGR is not labeled for thrips. We would recommend just using the Bifen IT around the baseboards, cracks and crevices in the home. See our Thrip Control page for more tips about treating for this pest.

    Q
    Can I mix NyGuard IGR and Tempo SC Ultra for carpet beetles?
    I am currently using NyGuard IGR & Tempo SC Ultra to get rid of black and varied carpet beetles. Is this mixture effective together? Also, do I have to spray the larvae, or is the residual enough to affect the larvae if they move into a sprayed area?
    A

    NyGuard IGR & Tempo SC Ultra mixed together will kill and sterilize Carpet Beetles. If you can get into the cracks and crevices where the larvae or pupa are, then the products will treat for the larvae and pupa stages. There is residual left and you will need to retreat every 14 days. Also, be sure to continue to vacuum often.

  • Asked by Nancy from Houston, Tx
    07/19/2015
    Q
    Can NyGuard and Gentrol be used at the same time?
    Curious if two different IGRs can be used at the same time. Target pest is roaches, various species. I do not intend to mix the two different IGRs together in a single application. I intend to apply separately. I am currently using Gentrol and would like to also use NyGuard one week to one month later. Current program is Gentrol mixed with Bifen to control roaches in a tropical climate.
    A

    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.
