    Q
    Doesn't spraying Petcor Flea Spray on a cat cause problems since cats are constantly cleaning themselves?
    A

    No.  Petcor Flea Spray is only a contact kill and does not leave a residual for any long period of time.  Also, this product uses pyrethrin to kill the fleas, which is a natural plant extract from the chrysanthemum plant.  It is not any more harmful than the flowers and bugs most cats…

    Q
    Can I use Petcor if I have already applied Frontline Plus to my dog?
    Also, if I use Ultracide indoors, what should I use outdoors (concrete & wood deck)?
    A

    Yes, Petcor Flea Spray can be applied after Frontline or Advantage.  This is because Petcor is a contact kill only and is for immediate results.  Petcor will kill on contact but will not protect long term like Frontline or Advantage, so you can use the Petcor as needed.  Ultracide is …

    Q
    What order do I treat?
    I have ordered the Petcor spray and the indoor flea kit. Should I treat one room and then put the cats in that room, then treat the rest of the house? What are your suggestions?
    A

    It really will not matter what order you do the treatment in as long as you do the treatments on the same day. Any adult fleas that jump off of the cats will come in contact with the deposits of the Ultracide and the Flea Stoppers within short order. The cats must be out of the area while you apply …

    Q
    Do fleas continue to die once Petcor Flea Spray dries?
    After I sprayed my dog I noticed fleas were still alive around his rear. Does Petcor continue to work after it dries or do I need to spray again so soon because some fleas did not die?
    A

    Yes, Petcor Flea Spray does keep working after it has dried. Petcor will kill adult Fleas on contact, but continues to protect by preventing flea eggs from hatching for up to 30 days. You should continue to apply as needed to kill adult fleas found on your pet.

    Q
    I just got the Petcor, what I want to know is can I bathe my cat first with a flea shampoo?
    and then spray him with the Petcor or will that be to much. She has been scratching and made herself bleed so I want to clean her up.
    A

    Yes, you would want to bathe your pet before applying the Petcor Flea Spray to get as many fleas off of her as possible. When applying Petcor to cats, its often advised to spray the product on a towel first and then rub down the cat with the towel to get it on its body and fur.

    Q
    Chrysanthemums (and the pyrethrins they produce) are toxic to cats
    Disappointed and surprised your website doesn't state this, or at least clarify that their is a risk for cats when using any pyrethrin.
    A

Excessive salvation and ear and paw flicking may occur; however, these effects are temporary and not harmful. May cause dermal sensitization (skin allergy). If there a…

    Q
    Can Petcor Flea Spray be used on carpets?
    A

    Petcor would not be the appropriate product to use on carpets or furniture for flea control as Petcor is specifically for applications directly to the pets themselves. If you wanted a product to treat carpets you could go with either Precor 2000 Plus, or the products in our Indoor Flea Kit.

    Q
    Why does the product description specifically state that Petcor contains the Precor IGR?
    Thus rendering it the power to be more than a contact kill - supposedly. Then in the Q and A section it specifically says that the product has NO residual capabilities????
    A

    We apologize for any confusion.  Petcor Flea Spray contains natural Pyrethrins which have no residual properties, which is what that answer is referring to. There is no residual to continue to kill anything.  (S)-Methoprene (which is an IGR only) will remain for a time though it does not kill …

    What else can I effectively use for de-Fleaing my cats?
    My cats go " crazy" after I apply front-line to them for flea control, is there anything else I could use instead?
    A

    Yes, we offer products like Petcor and Prefurred Plus for cats. Petcor Flea Spray contains Precor IGR, an insect growth regulator that targets fleas in the egg and larval stages of development.

    Petcor on pet's bedding
    Why do you recommend Ultracide instead of PEtcor 2000 for treating your home and pet bedding?
    A

    Petcor is specifically for your PET, not the belongings in your home. It's formulated for use directly on pet skin to control the fleas and help kill any in conjunction with your flea topicals like Frontline. Ultracide is not for use on pets at all but is for use on flooring and pet bedding and has …

  • Asked by Brenda from Paris Texas
    08/03/2018
    Q
    If safe for pets why does the human need gloves to apply Petcor Flea Spray on them?
    One of your answers says to apply on cats, wear gloves then apply product to a cloth then wipe your cat with the cloth. If this is safe for cats which have sensitive skin, then why is it not safe for human skin when applying to the cat?
    A

    Wearing gloves is a safety precaution recommended by every manufacturer when dealing with chemical products such as Petcor Flea Spray.  No one knows how every person will react if contact is made so it is recommended to avoid skin contact as much as possible, wearing gloves is part of that.
