    Q
    Can cats stay in the house while I spray Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray or do they need to be removed?
    Could I put them in one room and then do that room after?
    A

    Your cats do not need to leave the house.  You should do exactly as you suggested.  Place the cats in another room while you are treating and wait 30 minutes for the Precor 2000 Plus Premise to dry. Once the product has dried, it is perfectly safe to allow the cats back into the room.

    Q
    Should I vacuum the next day after the Precor 2000 treatment?
    We did the whole house but I still feel little stings around my legs (no bites).
    A

    It is our recommendation and industry standard that you vacuum immediately before the application of Precor 2000 and every day or every other day after the application for the next two weeks. Vacuums can physically remove a decent percentage of flea eggs that are in the carpet, along with much…

    Q
    How do you treat your clothes for fleas?
    Do fleas live in clothing? Our kitten would jump into our bottom drawers of our dresser. Should I wash all clothing or just open the drawers of the dresser when treating our home with Precor 2000?
    A

    Clothes should not be sprayed with any type of insecticide. All clothing that could be infested should be washed and dried. Dry Clean only clothes in most cases can simply go through the dryer for about 30 minutes. Be sure the dryer is on a setting that will reach at least 120F as this is the temper…

    Is it safe to spray Precor 2000 on couches and couch pillows?

    Precor 2000 Plus should only be sprayed under couch cushions and into the creases and tucks and folds of the fabric.

    A

    When treating for fleas, vacuuming is the most important thing to do.  You should vacuum before you treat, and then vacuum after you treat every day for the next week.  Vacuuming pulls flea eggs to the surface as well as stimulates them to hatch sooner.  You should repeat this treatme…

    Q
    How long is the residual effect of Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray? Is the residual effect shortened or removed by mopping or steam cleaning?

    If you mop the floors or steam clean the carpets where Precor 2000 has been applied you will be effectively removing any residual control you would have gotten from the application. You should mop and steam clean prior to the application and you can mop and steam clean two weeks after the applicat…

    Q
    Is it normal to still have adult fleas jumping into traps after spraying Precor 2000?
    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?
    A

    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.&…

    Q
    Should I avoid spraying the carpet with Precor 2000 for fear of skin contact with the spray?
    One of the Q/A says not to spray furniture on top so that skin contact is minimized, but what about on carpet where kids will be on the floor? It seems like there would a lot of skin contact on the carpet. Also one Q/A talks about spraying around beds but not on them. How does that kill the fleas on the bed if it's just sprayed on the floor?
    A

    The manufacturer has recently updated their product information to "Only complete and proper
    application to carpets, upholstery, drapes, and other fabrics will provide thorough flea/tick
    elimination. Keep people and pets out of areas during treatment. Vacate room after treatment, and ventilate until s

    Q
    I have a 5 year old and 18 month old. Is Precor 2000 Plus safe for them to touch even after its dry?
    My 18 month old likes to put things in her mouth (as most babies do) and even though we try to stop her from doing so there are going to be times where she might drop her pacifier on the carpet and then put it back in her mouth. Even after this product is dry how do you know if it's safe against a child that puts things in their mouth? We have a flea infestation and desperately need a solution.
    A

    Precor 2000 Plus is a very safe product when used as directed.  Of course you should remove all toys and items on the floor before treating.  You should remove children from the rooms you are treating or from the house if you are treating the entire house, until the product is completely d…

    What is the best way to kill fleas inside the home where they could be on the carpet?
    What is the best way to kill fleas inside the home where they could be on the carpet? I am use to using Talstar P. Could it be used as a mist spray on carpets? What would you consider for fleas on carpets?
    A

    Talstar P is not labeled for use as a broadcast spray over carpets. Talstar P can only be used as a crack and crevice application indoors. Precor 2000 or Ultracide would be a good choice for indoor carpeted areas. Precor 2000 and Ultracide come ready to use, no mixing or equipment is needed and they…

    Q
    What kind of respirator you need to apply Precor 2000 Plus?
    I am planning to treat my home for fleas myself and worry to get poisoned if I use the product without protection.
    A

    Precor 2000 plus does not require a respirator to apply the product unless you are in an enclosed room with no ventilation.  You can open a window of course if you want, but the product does not have a strong odor and you are just applying it on the carpet, it should not be applied in the air w…

    Q
    Why does the tile and laminate floors feel slippery after application?
    We sprayed yesterday and did not come back in the home for 2 hours. The tile floor and laminate floors are very slippery and we can see our footprints where we walk, even today. Is this normal? I feel like the poison is all over our feet and our pets when they lay down on the floor.
    A

    It is normal for the product to leave a slight slippery film on the floor as tile/laminate floors are not going to absorb the product like carpet rugs and furniture will. It will not normally be that thick unless it was oversprayed. Also, when treating for fleas they will not normally be in areas wh…
