Gentrol IGR Concentrate
Gentrol IGR Concentrate
Gentrol IGR Concentrate is a effective (s)-hydroprene based insect growth regulator that prevents pests like bed bugs or drain flies from reaching sexual maturity. Gets rid of insects in hard to reach areas or sensitive application sites like food and non-food areas long after application.
Gentrol IGR Concentrate, manufactured by Zoecon, is a high performing insect growth regulator concentrate that helps to gain control over various immature insects, such as bed bugs or cockroaches by stunting their growth for up to 120 days after application.
Features a translocative active ingredient (S)-Hydroprene 9.0%, which effectively breaks the pests life cycle by making adult insects incapable of reproducing and stunting their growth, providing more long-term pest control. Not only does it limit resistance and reinfestations situtations, but it also increases the success of other pesticides like baits.
Gentrol IGR Concentrate alone can be used to address an insect infestation, but it can easily be mixed with another insecticide to simultaneously target adult pests. When applied this product can control insects hiding deep within cracks and crevices of multiple sensitive sites like restaurants, residential homes, or nursing homes.
Tools Needed
Apply Gentrol IGR Concentrate, as a fog or an ultra-low volume (ULV) mist with equipment such as ULV, mechanical misting sprayers, aerosol generators, or thermal foggers to achieve uniform coverage.
When Gentrol IGR Concentrate is mixed with a diluent it may be applied with a spray or hand application equipment, such as hand-pressurized or power-operated sprayers capable of delivering general surface spray, fogging (space spray/mist), spot, crack and crevice spray applications, or with a paint brush, roller, or similar device.
How to Use
- Step 1: Prior to Gentrol IGR Concentrate application, remove or cover all food items in area to be treated. Determine how much Gentrol IGR Concentrate you will need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the treatment areas length and width in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Use 1 oz. of Gentrol IGR Concentrate mixed in 1 gallon of water per 1,500 sq. ft. of surface area for general surface applications. For fogging (spray/mist) applications, use 1 oz. of product per 12,000 cu. ft. So for example, if you had a 3,000 sq. ft. area to treat, you would need 2 oz. of Gentrol IGR mixed with 2 gallons of water.
- Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with water and then add 1 ounce of Gentrol IGR Concentrate to the tank. Fill the sprayer the rest of the way with remaining half of water and then shake the sprayer. An approved adulticide can also be added, just follow the label instructions on the adulticide label for application rates.
- Step 3: Spray labeled indoor areas where targeted pests have been spotted or known to frequent. Make spot treatments along baseboards, crack and crevices, storage areas, around doors and windows and on floors and ceilings. To spray the mixed Gentrol IGR Concentrate as a fog application, apply the product in the air and direct mist toward all areas that may harbor target pests. After treatment, leave the room closed for 30 minutes or longer as recommended by the equipment manufacturer or the labels of other products applied in tank mixing. Do not remain in treated area; ventilate before reentry. If needed, reapply after 4 months after the last application or every 14 days for heavy bed bug infestations. Repeat applications at 2 to 4 week intervals depending upon the severity of drain fly or fruit fly infestation.
Where to Use
Gentrol IGR Concentrate can be used in apartment buildings, bakeries, bottling facilities, breweries, boiler rooms, cafeterias, candy plants, grocery stores, day care centers, hospitals, residential homes, hotels/motels, office buildings, kitchens, laboratories, cereal processing facilities, manufacturing plants, mausoleums, meat and produce canneries, nursing homes, restaurants, schools, locker rooms, stores, taverns, warehouses, as well as various modes of transportation such as aircraft, buses, trucks, trailers, rail cars, and marine vessels.
As a general surface application, this product can be applied to areas such as walls, floors, ceilings, attics, basements, or crawlspaces.
Make crack and crevice applications directly to areas such as crevices, baseboards, floors, ceilings, or walls. Make spot treatments to areas such as storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors, windows, and behind and under appliances/equipment, furniture and beds.
Do not spray Gentrol IGR Concentrate directly on mattresses, couches, or linens.
When to Use
Gentrol IGR Concentrate can be used at any time when insect populations have become difficult to control or at the first sign of pest activity.

Q:This work for a flea infestation?1/6/24A:Yes this will help with egg reproduction. I used it in combo with suspend sc.. Didn’t stain the molding. It is important to sprinkle baking soda on all rugs, vacuum daily and use a steam mop on all hard floors. You can also steam couches etc. I gave my pets the chews from the vet. It was the post powerful as the frontline doesn’t work. Good luck

Each states department of agriculture regulates the use of certain chemicals within products, which may not be approved of in certain states.

Q:Tried to add Gentrol IGR to my cart, but I get a pop up that says minimum quantity purchase is a quantity of 10. This is for my personal home use I don't need a quantity of 10. Also, can this be used as a added defense with Demon WP?6/18/19A:I obtained the 16 oz which can be added one item; the 1 oz seems to require multiple. Can't answer other as don't use it!

Q:Will it help with drain flie? I have already used drain gel but still problem is there8/6/18A:This will only help with drain fly eggs that have yet to hatch. To address live drain flies you may need to use a mixture of traps and sprays to knock down the invasion. I suggest Pyrid Aerosol https://www.solutionsstores.com/pyrid-aerosol-insecticide And Musca Stik https://www.solutionsstores.com/musca-stik
