ZOECON 619907 Gentrol IGR Concentrate Insect Growth Regulator, 16 oz

This is a little long but I hope it helps someone. So unfortunately we got Bed Bugs. We had a exterminator come twice with no luck. We did not have a huge infestation. We actually couldn't find a nest. The exterminator insisted that they would only come two weeks after spraying but I was getting bit alot only after three days of spraying. We actually found the same product they used, Temprid Fx, and ordered. We sprayed every four days for two weeks. Still every three to four days. I would get bit again. So we did some research and found this product.Three days before this product came I steamed our whole bed. Bunky boards boths sides, bed frame, mattress, baseboards and other furniture in the room. (I found a little nest under a edge piece of material on the bottom of the bunky board. I killed them and removed it) Then the next day after the steam dried, we sprayed the Temprid Fx over all of the bed parts including the mattress and all over the room. Then when this this product came we mixed the Temprid FX as directed and added this as directed with it. We soaked everything in the room. After it dried we then covered our bunky boards and mattress with Safe Rest mattress covers. I have not gotten bitten and no signs of bugs for over a month. FY, the smell of this product is VERY strong, so as others have recommend I purchased some cheap gas masks, close your HAVC vents in the room you are spraying, close the doors and block the bottom of the doors and keep you animals away until everything is dried. It dries fast but we didn't use the room until the next day and aired out the room first. And one more thing, remember heat kills them. Anything that can be put in the dryer need to be heated for at least 45 minutes on high heat. Most everything else can be sprayed with this. It did not hurt our Wood bedframe or floors.

I use this when I am treating for bed bugs and cockroaches in apartments I manage. I always try to hit the bugs w/ a cocktail of chemicals to get fast knock down and then keep them down. I mix this w/ residual pesticide in my sprayer. My understanding is you can mix this w/ general use pesticides unless the label of the other chemical states not to mix in this manner. I have never used this as a standalone treatment, always as part of a comprehensive multi-faceted attack w/ at least 2 other chemicals. Generally I mix this w/ general purpose residual and apply to all baseboards & cracks and crevices. I then use bait in kitchens for cockroaches. For bed bugs I typically use another insecticide in aerosol format on furniture. The multi-chemical approach has worked wonders and helps minimize chance of some bugs surviving because of immunity to one particular chemical.

This is one of the best things to get for getting rid of bedbugs you also need to use it withTemprid SC Insecticide because what it does is stop the bedbugs from being able to grow up and reproduce.I would get up at 3:30 in the morning when bedbugs are out and moving around and mix the two in a 1 gallonspray container after the first time I noticed bedbugs that were dead. Many of them but do not stop there you need to do it at least two more times but preferably three more at least one week apart. if you can take apart the bed as much as possible and also spray along baseboards any wood that you have around your bed because they do love to hide there. But I noticed no new bites after I had done this one time. When you get the spray bottle preferably get one that you can change the nozzles on to a wide fan pattern.I sprayed all around the baseboard the headboard which is where they seem to go the most and the carpeting under and around the bed. I just did my second spray and you have to do it roughly every 7 to 10 days when you do it that way you kill or stop the growth of new ones that you didn't get before. I also sprayed around door openings any mats that I had on the floor and also my luggage and it's a good idea to open up your dresser and spray your dresser top to bottom inside the shelving and around outlets because they have a tendency to want to hide there. I have used many other products and these two seem to be the best . Just make sure that you also get the other one which is Temprid SC Insecticide.

The nuclear DIY option for BedBugs... "Gentrol IGR" plus "ExciteR" plus "Temprid Sc" (all from Amazon) tank mixed, and applied to everything, with a complete and thorough coverage of all surfaces that are not in direct contact with human skin for extended periods. (Like mattress tops or couch seats or clothing.) That along with mattress covers and laundering all clothing and bedding, equaled the end of Bed Bugs (and pretty much every other living thing!) . Turned ALL furniture upside down and sprayed inside and out. Repeat in 3 to 4 weeks. NOT cheap or easy (a real PITA actually) but effective. I dispensed with a Tri Jet ULV Non Thermal Fogger. (also from Amazon) You MUST use a respirator.YOU MUST USE A RESPIRATOR... A dust mask will not do!!!!!ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW ALL PRODUCT USE AND SAFTY INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW ALL PRODUCT USE AND SAFTY INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW ALL PRODUCT USE AND SAFTY INSTRUCTIONS!!!!

I have received the product. I just haven’t used it yet so that’s why I didn’t give it a five star but other than that it seems to be fine. I can’t wait to use it to be able to let them know it’s how great it is or how poor it is.

Ended up with a case of bed bugs. I talked with a exterminator and he suggested this stuff. It does work. But you have to take measures. There's the other product that you mix with this to help kill off eggs. And it must be fresh and get a streamer and bed bug sheets for box spring and your mattress and your pillow cases. Don't skip these steps other wise your wasting time and money and never sleeping. Please read the directions. After you use the stuff in your bottle please dump what's left. It isn't good after 24 hours in the bottle. Again use this stuff after mixing. That's very important. It will work.
