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. It delivers up to 7 months of control with its residual control and knocks down those instantly upon contact.
12/24/25
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 nuisance pests and eggs are believed to be developing.
This product makes adult insects incapable of reproducing and disrupts the insects' normal life cycle, making 100% control much more achievable than programs in place without it. It stays effective for 7 months.
Gentrol Aerosol Insect Growth Regulator is a broad-spectrum aerosol that features (S)-Hydroprene, a juvenile 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 with a simple one-step application.
Tools Needed
No additional application tools are needed. However, it is always recommended that you wear personal protective equipment, especially a mask, to protect the applicator from inhaling vapors.
How to Use
- Step 1: Shake well before use. Gentrol Aerosol is applied with a sweeping motion over a surface, holding the can 10” to 12” away from the surface to be treated as a general surface spray or spot treatment.
- Step 2: For crack and crevice applications, use the supplied extension tube and apply it to wall voids, hollow table legs, tube iron, gondola frames, voids, and supports.
- Step 3: Apply once a month for continuous protection or more often if conditions warrant.
