D-Fense NXT, manufactured by Control Solutions, is a new insecticide aerosol designed to deliver long-lasting control of bedbugs, cockroaches and over 50 other problem pests. Its powerful formula reduces the chances of pests developing a resistance to D-Fense NXT's active ingredients Novaluron, Deltamethrin, and Pyriproxyfen.

This insecticide aerosol active ingredients offers 3 unique modes of action --1 being a contact residual insecticide (deltamethrin) and 2 IGRs in the form of Novaluron and Pyriproxyfen. The IGRs help break down the pest life cycle, especially that of bed bugs, preventing them from molting. The Novaluron in the D-Fense NXT formula also creates lethal physiological effects to bed bugs, hindering their ability to move around and grip surfaces.

D-Fense NXT features 360-degree valve, which makes it easy to make flexible applications, enabling users to switch from a fan spray to a crack and crevice spray by simply flipping up the actuator. 

Tools Needed

D-Fense NXT comes in a ready to use aerosol can with no additional tools necessary for application.

How to Use

• Step 1: Inspect and identify the pest you want to treat and take note of the active areas where they are found or are hiding. You should also calculate the square footage of the area you would like to treat to determine how much D-Fense NXT you may need to apply. You can do this by measuring the area length and width and multiplying the two values (length x width = square footage). 
• Step 2: Remove the protective cap and direct spray away from the face. Hold the can 12 to 15 inches from the surface being sprayed. For general surface applications, apply D-Fense NXT at a rate of 10 seconds per 100 sq. ft. For spot applications, apply at a rate of 1 second per 2 sq. ft. Test the D-Fense NXT first on an inconspicuous area prior to use.
• Step 3: For crack and crevice applications, apply D-Fense NXT with the supplied actuator and injection tube to cracks, crevices and void spaces where insects may be harboring, living or breeding. For light infestations, move the injector tip along cracks at a rate of 3 linear feet per second. For heavy infestations, move the tip along at 1 linear foot per second. For bed bug treatments, remove bedding materials and treat the bed and box springs along the tufts folds and edges.
• Step 4: Reapply as needed once every 6 months until there is no further insect threat.
