Q

Can we treat human bedding with Precor IGR Concentrate?
I know it is OK to treat pet bedding with Precor, but is it OK to treat my own bedding?

A

Precor IGR Concentrate should not be used on linens, clothing, or similar items or surfaces that would come into direct contact with skin. These items may be treated in a washer and dryer, or with a steamer. Please see our Flea Treatment Guide for more information.

Q

I ordered a bottle of Precor concentrate. How safe is this for humans?
I ordered it online and just received it. When I reached inside I felt wetness. The cap was broken. I washed my hands immediately but was worried as to the effects on me. I guess I just worry that if it can make fleas sterile and break down their development, well what can it do to us? So my question is do I have anything to worry about?

A

Precor IGR Concentrate is a insect specific hormone and is relatively safe around humans. However, if you have skin contact with Precor IGR Concentrate the Manufacturer Safety Data Sheet states that you should wash with plenty of soap and water and if irritation persists, get medical attention.

Q

Effectiveness after mixing Precor IGR Concentrate?
Due to time constraints, I can only treat a room at a time in my house. I have mixed up a gallon of Precor and use a spray bottle to apply to baseboards and behind furniture. How long does it stay active after mixing with water?

A

With most any concentrate, it is recommended to use all diluted solution within 24 hours of mixing. Maybe, you could dilute Precor IGR Concentrate in smaller quantities as needed.

Q

Can I mix Precor and Temprid SC together to be sprayed at 1 time for flea control?

A

Yes, you can mix Temprid SC and Precor IGR in one sprayer. After your treatment, make sure to vacuum every day for two weeks and do a second treatment with Temprid SC only. Another treatment may be required after the two initial treatments. We recommend using these products in a pump sprayer.

Q

Can I use Precor IGR Concentrate by itself and still get rid of fleas?
We recently purchased some Precor IGR from your company. You recommend combining it with an insecticide but, for several reasons, we're very reluctant to use any insecticides in our home. If we use Precor all by itself, vacuum carpeted areas frequently, do 2-3 applications 14 days apart, etc., will we eventually get rid of the fleas?

Our company and the manufacturer will always recommend that you use both an IGR and an insecticide to eradicate fleas successfully. Keep in mind that the insect growth regulator does not kill adult insects, so you are going to keep finding adult insects if you are not using an insecticide along with this. If you are concerned about certain active ingredients, then you can use an indoor-only insecticide such as Zenprox EC, or a natural adulticide such as Essentria IC3. (Keep in mind that certain all-natural products may have a strong botanical odor.) You may also consider Wondercide Flea and Tick Control Pets and Home for adult flea control as this is a water-based product that is all-natural and can be used indoors and on dogs and cats, too. Or you can use a steamer to kill adult insects in sensitive areas. Be sure you are also treating your pets with a registered flea control product.

Q

Can Precor IGR Concentrate be used on inside furniture that my cats lie on?
Is it safe

A

Yes, once the Precor IGR is dry there is no worries about harm to a pet that lays on the surface of any furniture. Remember that Precor IGR is not an insecticide; it does not kill the insect- it is a product that prevents adult insects from reproducing.

Q

I purchased both Precor IGR and Demize E.C. from you. Can I mix them together in the same sprayer?

A

Yes, you can mix both together in the same sprayer. However, Demize EC is not a residual product, we would recommend that you also add an insecticide such as Conquer that is a residual.

Q

Can I mop after a Precor application?
All of the floors in my house are hardwood. Since we do not have any carpet, I think the fleas are in the cracks between the floor boards. Will mopping remove the Precor, or will there still be enough left in the cracks to work? I would rather not wait months to mop the floor again, but if it means getting rid of the fleas, I can deal with it.

A

You should thoroughly vacuum the hard floor before applying Precor (mixed with an insecticide labeled for indoor flea applications, such as Onslaught) paying special attention to all cracks and crevices. This will help remove a great deal of the flea eggs, pupae and the debris they can develop in.…

This will help remove a great deal of the flea eggs, pupae and the debris they can develop in. Mopping can be done before the application and you should wait to mop for about two weeks after the application. Please test the Precor on an inconspicuous area of the floor to be sure it does not mar the finish.
