Gentrol Aerosol Insect Growth Regulator
Gentrol Aerosol Insect Growth Regulator
Gentrol Aerosol Insect Growth Regulator is an effective insect growth regulator and adulticide insecticide combined aerosol that disrupts the development of pests for present and future infestations. Delivers up to 7 months of control with its residual control and knocks down those instantly upon contact.
Gentrol Aerosol Insect Growth Regulator, manufactured by Zoecon, takes the formula of Gentrol IGR and puts it in aerosol form so you can directly spray areas where developing nuisance pests and eggs are believed to be.
This product will make adult insects incapable of reproducing and will disrupt the insects normal life cycle making 100% control much more achievable than programs in place without it and it stays effective for 7 months.
Gentrol Aerosol Insect Growth Regulator is a broad-spectrum aerosol that features (S)-Hydroprene, a juvenille hormone mimic that makes it possible to control fruit flies, drain flies, and other stored product pests. Due to its dissipating foam action it helps reduce costly labor in a simple one-step application.

Q:How does it do on Roaches?8/13/19A:The gentrol I purchased to treat my drains (sinks, showers, tub, dishwasher) because I had a severe problem with DRAIN FLIES!! (Knock Wood) I've never seen a roach here, but I don't have any more problems with any indoor pests now! It's been almost a year since I treated, and I don't see any need to repeat treatment now... But I know where to go if I ever catch a hint of any other them again!!!
