Best Practices When Using NyGuard® IGR concentrate

Use NyGuard as part of an IPM program

Use NyGuard as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program to break the cycle of insect reproduction. NyGuard gets to the root cause of insect problems – the eggs, larvae or nymphs – and prevents them from maturing into reproductive adults. NyGuard will cause morphological abnormalities and disrupt the normal development of immature stages of insects, leading to sterility or death.

Use in conjunction with a non-IGR insecticide

When adults are present, use NyGuard in conjunction with a non-IGR insecticide. This method focuses on the large-scale removal of the reproductive adult component of the target population, while at the same time introducing NyGuard to disrupt the development of further generations.
