Precor 2000 plus has been used throughout my apartment for 3 days now (including carpets, furniture, bedding, cushions...) and I have been vacuuming daily since - but my flea traps are still catching fleas (a few per day). I thought newly emerged fleas will die when they reach the insecticide on the carpet, is it normal that they're still able to jump into my traps? Does this mean the spray isn't working?
It is normal to still see fleas after an application of Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray. It is not a contact kill after the product has dried, it will take time for a flea to die after contacting a treated surface. You may have over irritated the fleas if you have applied for 3 days straight. Typically most flea problems can be handled in 2 treatments, but this depends on how bad the problem is. You should repeat the treatment exactly 14 days after the first treatment, or 2 weeks, since this is how often flea eggs typically hatch. It is common to have to do 3 or 4 treatments (treating every 2 weeks) over 2 months for bad problems.
