  • Asked by Seyva from Southwest Florida
    04/17/2016
    Q
    How long will Archer IGR be effective for if I spray on any given day and it rains two or three days after?
    I live in Florida, and it's hard to determine when it will definitely rain, or when it'll be just a drizzle. I bought Archer IGR and Talstar One. I've been wanting to spray my yard down but it's been raining, nearly every other day, and I'm afraid the pesticides will wash away. Are there a certain amount of dry days that have to pass to be sure that the fleas have absorbed/come in contact with the pesticides?
    A

    As long as the Talstar and Archer treated area has had time to dry, rain will not wash it away. This takes about 2 hours. Per label, you can reapply once every 28 days.

    Q
    Does Archer IGR harm bees if used in a yard for mosquito control?
    Does this harm bees if used in a yard for mosquito control? Looking for a product to control mosquitos but not harm bees and other beneficials.
    A

    Archer IGR is not labeled to be used against bees.  Since it only acts on the immature life stages of the target insect and not adults it should not effect them.  It generally only effects adults fleas and flies.

  • Asked by Trisha from Wa
    06/04/2016
    Q
    Does Archer IGR work for spiders?
    A

    While you may mix the Archer IGR with a insecticide label for spiders to treat the infected areas to prevent future infestation of many of the insects that spiders eat, neither Archer nor any other IGR is labeled to treat spiders directly.

  • Asked by Rebecca from Chattanooga, Tn
    07/20/2016
    Q
    Will Archer IGR take care of fleas and roaches?
    I want to prevent fleas (my cat recently got tapeworms from eating one) and I have seen a few dead cockroaches in my new house. Will this product alone take care of both? Neither are a major problem.
    A

    Archer IGR will only stop these pests from growing to become reproductive adults in their immature stage. You can use Onslaught Insecticide to treat for both and it can be used on carpeted areas where you may need flea control. Be sure to follow the label for indoor and outdoor control. You can even mix Onslaught and Archer so you can have a residual insecticide and IGR control at the same time.

  • Asked by Juan from Fort Lauderdale, Fl
    07/22/2016
    Q
    How often can I use Archer IGR in conjunction with Talstar?
    I see the treatment can last 7 months but I sprayed both together a couple of months ago and I continue to see mosquitos, as well as ants around my perimeter. I'm primarily using Talstar for both and the Archer to supplement mosquito growth.
    A

    Archer IGR is only photostable outside for about 2 weeks, inside is where it would last the 7 months.  It along with Talstar should be applied once a month through mosquito season to keep the residual up.  You may continue to see mosquitoes even after application as Talstar P is not a true repellent.  It is meant to provide a long residual that will continue to kill insects that contact a treated surface.  Be sure to apply to the underside of leaves of trees and bushes and treat any standing water with a larvacide to further help with elimination.

  • Asked by Chris from Midland, Tx
    11/17/2016
    Q
    Is Archer IGR or Nyguard IGR effective against oriental cockroaches and which would be better for outdoor use?
    I see on the label it only lists asian, german, and brown-banded roaches. Also looking at Nyguard and that says the same.
    A

    Both the Archer IGR and Nyguard IGR are labeled to treat for both asian and oriental  roaches (which are the same type of roach). If you are using this for an outdoor application you would want to choose the Archer since it is more photostable in an outdoor application.

    Q
    Does it make sense to mix Archer IGR, Conquer, and Gentrol IGR together for indoor/outdoor use?
    I've used conquer and archer together, mostly targeting fleas, but would like to add a roach IGR. Does it make sense to mix these three together for indoor/outdoor use?
    A

    No, there is no need to use Gentrol IGR as well as Archer IGR. Archer IGR is labeled for roaches as well.

  • Asked by Niki from Lanham, Md
    06/27/2017
    Q
    Can I mix Archer IGR and Permethrin SFR?
    Can I mix with archer IGR and permethrin SFR to kill the roach and stop them growing? How to mix? How much of each mix with water together? How often?
    A

    Yes, Archer IGR and Permethrin SFR can be mixed together and applied at the same time. The mixing rate is 1 2/3 fl oz of Permethrin SFR and 1 fl oz of Archer IGR per gallon of water. This can be done every 21 days as needed. Be sure to use a bait gel, such as Maxforce Magnum as well inside of cabinets and drawers. Be careful not to spray the bait with insecticides because it will contaminate it and the roaches will not consume it.

  • Asked by Tina from Seminole, Tx
    09/18/2017
    Q
    Is it ok to mix Tempo SC, Archer IGR, and Conquer all in one bucket for fleas?
    A

    Archer IGR can be mixed with an insecticide like Tempo Ultra or Conquer following the instructions on each products' label. We do not recommend that you mix two insecticides together as that would be like doubling the usage rate of each insecticide and make the product ineffective.

  • Asked by Randolph from Palmyra
    06/20/2018
    Q
    How does Archer IGR work for mosquitoes and ants?
    I only need to spray outside.
    A

    Archer IGR is an insect growth regulator, which inhibits the reproductive cycle of the insect so it can no longer reproduce.  It is not an insecticide on it's own and should be paired with an insecticide like Talstar for best results.
