    Q
    Is Precor a residual product?
    If I spray Precor/Conquer today, and a larvae hatches 5 days from now, will that new adult be affected by the Precor? I assume the residual Conquer will likely kill the flea, but if it lays eggs before it dies, will those eggs hatch?
    A

    Yes, both Conquer Insecticide and Precor IGR Concentrate will continue working after they are dry. While we do recommend retreating at 2-week intervals for active flea infestations, Precor can continue working for up to 7 months indoors (provided carpets are not steam-cleaned or shampooed). While Precor may not prevent eggs from hatching at all, it does prevent immature fleas from reaching adulthood.

  • Asked by Bren from South Bend, In
    08/05/2016
    Q
    How much Precor IGR Concentrate do I need for the whole house?
    We have had local pest control spray down the whole house TWICE, bathed pets, we cleaned all clothes and have laid down diatomaceous earth. Our main problem was in the basement where they did a crevice treatment, but it has since moved to both first and second floors. We have fleas EVERYWHERE. Beds, clothes, hair, pets, AGAIN. This is getting very out of hand! Moving onto 3 months now with flea problem. Really need the help! We have no carpet in home.
    A

    One container of Precor IGR concentrate will treat 1500 square feet. The amount of product used will depend on how much area you are treating. This product is only a growth regulator so it will take time to eliminate fleas. We generally recommend that you use an insecticide as well in combination with the growth regulator. Be sure to treat every 10-14 days with an insecticide until you no longer see activity. 

    Please check out our Flea Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent fleas.

    Q
    Is Precor effective against insects besides fleas?
    A
    Precor IGR is labeled for fleas only. We do have other Inest Growth Regulators (IGR) that are labeled for a wide variety of insects such as Gentrol IGR and Martins IGR. Be sure to read the product label of the product you choose before purchasing to make sure the pest you are trying to control is listed. You can find product labels on the individual product pages on our website under the picture of the product.

  • Asked by Dee from Fallbrook California
    08/08/2019
    Q
    Can I use Precor IGR Concentrate outside for fleas? How long do we have to wait before the dogs can go back in the yard?
    Reapply?
    A

    Precor IGR Concentrate is a great IGR labeled for fleas, but it is not for use outdoors as it is not photo-stable. If you are treating for fleas outdoors you can use our Outdoor Flea and Tick Kit. This kit contains professional products to help prevent and treat infestations of fleas. Cyzmic CS is a versatile insecticide concentrate with two active ingredients, providing both a quick initial kill and long-term residual control of adult fleas. Archer Insect Growth Regulator prohibits the development of immature stages of fleas, effectively interrupting the breeding cycle of target insects. These concentrates can be diluted and applied together to save time and energy. Most of your flea control will come from the initial application, but it may take several treatments to fully eradicate a or flea population. For heavy infestations, you would want to reapply after 14 days to catch new adults that have emerged or insects that animals have carried into the treatment area.

  • Asked by Shameka from New York
    08/04/2017
    Q
    Why doesn't Precor IGR work beyond 24 hrs?
    A

    As with most any concentrate, it is recommended to use all diluted Precor IGR solution within 24 hours of mixing since the product is not designed to sit in solution and still remain stable and effective.

    Q
    Safety for toddler?
    I am very concerned with using any chemicals in my house because I have a three-year-old the crawls all over the floor and touches the floor then puts his hands in his mouth on a regular basis. I have been looking at The Precor Pro for flea control and it seems to be a very effective product that is safe. We have a sudden major flea ingestion and more natural solutions have done nothing! My question is, is the precor pro or another precor product the safest solution and should this be mixed with another safe product to control the adult fleas? Or does the precor control them effectively as well? If another product is needed for adult flea control, which do you recommend that is completely safe?
    A
    We would recommend using Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray. It has an insect growth regular in it as well which is very important. It is like a birth control for the fleas. This product is safe once it is dry. It is not reactivated again if the floor gets wet. It is completely safe for your toddler to be on the floor once the product has dried completely. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Courtney from Charlotte. Nc
    08/25/2021
    Q
    After applying Precor IGR Concentrate indoors, should we leave house for a few hours to allow the product to dry. We have a 4 month old.
    A

    Yes, Precor IGR Concentrate can be used indoors with children and petsKeep kids and pets out of the treated area during the application and until the application has completely dried. This is typically within an hour or so. Spray applications should be made till surfaces are slightly damp, not overly saturated or soaked.

    Keep in mind, Precor IGR Concentrate is an IGR only and not an insecticide. This will not kill fleas by itself and will need to be tank mixed with an adulticide labeled for fleas to be effective. Options for insecticides are Onslaught or FenvaStar that are labeled for broadcast applications to carpets, rugs, undersides of furniture, cushions, etc.  

    Please view our Indoor Flea Kit and Flea Treatment Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Susan from Oxnard, California
    10/21/2017
    Q
    Do I need to remove my fish when they spray my classroom with Precor?
    A

    While Precor IGR shouldn't harm fish if used appropriately, you would need at miminum to cover the fish tank while spraying and until everything has dried and settled. If its easy to remove the fish before spraying then I would do so, but if not, just covering them with a sheet or fabric to protect from particles getting in the water or filter would be sufficient.

  • Asked by Jimmy from Chicago, Il

    Q
    Will a garden pump sprayer with a fan tip spray a fine enough mist to properly apply Precor indoors?
    I have a garden sprayer with a fan tip and I'm concerned I wont be able to properly apply Precor around the inside of my house. Im wondering if the sprayer will dispense at too high of a volume for proper coverage. Is it recommended that a fine "mist" be used to dispense?
    A

    A fan spray or a mist when used on most standard garden sprayers is fine for your indoor application of Precor IGR. If you feel you are getting too heavy of an application you would either need to move faster as you treat or create less pressure in your tank to have the product not come out of the nozzle at such a high rate. If you find that this is still heavier than you would like to be spraying indoors for your personal preferences, we would recommend swapping to an aerosol can like Precor 2625 for indoor use instead to get that light application.
