Yes, NyGuard Plus is labeled to kill fleas, ticks, eggs and larvae and will prevent flea infestations for up to 7 months.
When using NyGuard Plus, you would want to be sure that any food that might come in contact with any spray drift is covered. Otherwise, it is safe to use around food that is covered and stored. Food that is in the refirgerator should be OK since you would not be using this product in that area as it is not labeled to be applied there.
NyGuard Plus should be applied after any cleaning is done to the carpet as it can remove the residual.
Unfortunately, there are not really many products on the market that are actually labeled for sarcoptic mites specifically. Steri-Fab is labeled for mites in general and will very likely kill sarcoptic mites. Steri-Fab has an insecticide and an alcohol base. This combination allows for a fast kill of just about any insect that Steri-Fab is sprayed on plus a super fast drying time. Steri-Fab is NOT applied to animals or humans. You should check with your vet and physican for additional recommendations.
NyGuard Plus is not labeled for chiggers. Onslaught would be a better choice for Chigger control.
It acts on the immature life stages of insects and prevents those insects from becoming full functioning and reproducing adults. By breaking the reproductive cycle of these insects, NyGuard helps reduce overall insect populations.
The NyGuard Plus is labeled for tick species in general and when used per the label instructions within your home where ticks may be present or would look to hide it will control them as well as any fleas in the area. While its not specifically labeled to control the eggs and nymphs its technology is such that you can effectively get rid of the entire population in the home as long as the proper treatment steps are being taken.
Nyguard Plus is restricted to apply only to the mattress as a spot treatment to seams, edges, buttons, and tufts of the bed. Do not apply directly to pillows, bed linens, or cloths. Do not saturate the mattress and do not treat the entire surface area of the mattress. Allow the mattress to dry thoroughly before replacing pillows and/or bed linens.
While we are unaware of any case studies of NyGuard Plus on toads, we always suggest to avoid applying to non-target animals and when they are in the area.
It is usually recommended to have everyone leave the home while its being treated and stay out until all surfaces have dried, even if only part of the home is being sprayed. We do understand some homes have situations where that isn't always feasible, and the home may need to be treated in stages or sections. After thoroughly vacuuming the rooms you still have activity within, you can spray the NyGuard Plus and then close the door off, and place a towel at the bottom of the door to stop any additional airflow from emerging, and allow the room to dry for several hours before resuming use. You can reapply Nyguard Plus every 2 weeks if needed for active infestations.
NyGuard Plus is not available in an unscented formulation. We apologize but we are not aware of an unscented product for fleas. They will have a mild odor that will dissipate when dry and with proper ventilation such as PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol.
