    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.

    Q
    Bad flea infestation on patio and in garage
    We had a family of possums make our crawl space and garage their home. Once we got them out we had a huge flea infestation on our patio under a small deck. We've had terminix come spray 5x over the last 4 weeks and nothing has improved. We bombed the garage yesterday which had a slight improvement but the garage isn't nearly as bad as the patio near our sliding door ( there is a small dark place under the sliding door). Terminix has used cy-kik and tempo but neither has helped and they don't know what else to do. So I'm hoping to use Acher and talstar to get rid of the problem. We feel trapped in our home and defeated.
    A
    We apologize you are having such a time eradicating fleas. Fleas control can take time due to their life cycle. Talstar and Archer would work fantastic outdoors and in the garage. The IGR to break the reproduction cycle sounds like what your treatments have been missing. Please view our Flea control page. If you have a problem indoors, Talstar and Archer can only be applied to cracks and crevices. We recommend using Alpine Flea insecticide for indoor control.

    Q
    Will Archer IGR when applied to the grass help control the fly population? Once sprayed, how often do I need to respray?
    A
    Archer will help control the fly population, but you will also need and adulticide as well. You could mix Archer with Bifen to gain continuous control.

  • Asked by Sue from Ocala, Fl
    01/15/2016
    Q
    Can Archer IGR be used on ornamental potted plants such as Orchids and Tropicals for mealybugs?
    A

    Archer IGR is not labeled for mealybugs. When treating for mealy bugs, you could apply TriStar 8.5 SL, and you will use 7.5 ml (0.25oz, 1.5 tsp) per 3 gallons of water for effective control. The Tristar bottle will measure as low as 5 ml in the built-in measuring reservoir. It is suggested that you mix a surfactant with the TriStar when treating for mealybugs for better control. You can use the Non-Ionic surfactant we carry at the rate of 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water. Do not make more than 4 applications per year. Do not reapply more than once every 7 days. To determine if application is necessary, monitor pest densities.

  • 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.

    Q
    Can Archer IGR be used to treat area underneath fruit trees?

    The Archer IGR application would need to be kept out of the root zone for edible vegetation because it is not tested or labeled for this use.

  • Asked by Rebecca from Chattanooga, Tn

    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.

    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.
