D-Fense SC & Gentrol IGR: A Powerful Combination for Long-Lasting Pest Control

D-Fense SC and Gentrol IGR provide a comprehensive approach to pest management, combining the rapid knockdown of a pyrethroid insecticide with the long-term growth regulation of an insect growth regulator (IGR). This combination is particularly effective against a wide range of insect pests, including cockroaches, ants, spiders, and fleas.

D-Fense SC

• Active Ingredient:
  Deltamethrin (4.75%)

• Mode of Action:
  A potent pyrethroid insecticide that delivers quick knockdown and residual control of labeled pests.

• Target Pests:
  Effective against a broad spectrum of insects, including ants, cockroaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, and more.

• Mixing Instructions:
  Mix 0.06 to 0.2 fl. oz. of D-Fense SC per gallon of water, depending on the target pest and severity of the infestation.
  Always refer to the product label for specific mixing instructions.

Gentrol IGR

• Active Ingredient:
  (S)-Hydroprene (9.0%)

• Mode of Action:
  Mimics insect juvenile hormones, preventing the maturation of pest larvae into reproducing adults—effectively breaking the pest life cycle.

• Target Pests:
  Highly effective against cockroaches, stored product pests, fleas, and drain flies.

• Mixing Instructions:
  Mix 1 fl. oz. of Gentrol IGR per gallon of water.

Application Guidelines

• Inspection:
  Thoroughly inspect the treatment area to identify pest activity, harborage sites, and conducive conditions.

• Integrated Pest Management (IPM):
  Implement an IPM strategy that includes sanitation, exclusion, and habitat modification to reduce pest pressures and enhance treatment efficacy.

• Targeted Application:

  • Perimeter Treatment: Apply a band of the solution around the foundation of structures, extending 2–3 feet up the wall and 6–10 feet outward.

  • Crack and Crevice Treatment: Use a pin stream or crack-and-crevice tip to apply the solution directly into cracks, crevices, and voids where pests may hide.

  • Spot Treatments: Treat specific areas where pests are observed, such as baseboards, around plumbing fixtures, and entry points.

  Achieve both rapid knockdown and long-term growth disruption for comprehensive pest management.

• Reduced Reinfestations:
  By preventing pest reproduction, Gentrol IGR helps minimize the likelihood of future infestations.

• Improved Cost-Effectiveness:
  Combining these products can lead to greater overall efficacy and reduce the need for frequent re-treatments.
