We cannot comment on the treatments performed by a professional but can tell you that Precor is an IGR (insect growth regulator) labeled only for flea treatments inside the home. The manufacturer of the product has another IGR in their product line that is labeled for bedbugs and it is called Gentrol. We carry this product on our website. You will add this product to a liquid concentrate insecticide that is labeled for bedbugs. It will take multiple products for treating this insect along with non-chemical methods. Below is an article that you might find extremely helpful. We also provide free expert advice by calling 866-581-7378 M-F 9-5PM EST.
No, Precor IGR is not for use on animals; it is for use in structures only. You can use Petcor Flea Spray on dogs and cats at least 12 weeks of age.
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.
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.
You can safely mix Precor IGR with any insecticide labeled for your application needs and apply as a broadcast spray indoors to control pre-adult fleas - up to seven full months. It does not work outside in direct sunlight.
Precor IGR can mixed with other insectides for treating fleas. If mixing with Suspend SC, this would only be applied along baseboards, corners and cracks and crevices since Suspend SC cannot be broadcasted over carpeted areas which is recommended to treat for fleas. NyGuard IGR is a more versitle insect growth regulator and is labeled for more than fleas.
It is recommended that you keep pets out of the area while Precor IGR Concentrate is being applied. Once the product has dried completely, it is safe for your pet to return to the area. Please contact your vet if you have any concerns.
Precor IGR Concentrate can be mixed with just about any type of insecticide. You would mix 1-2 packets of Demon WP and 1 oz. of Precor into 1 gallon of water.
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.
Precor IGR Concentrate when applied as directed should dry within 1 hour of application. It should be just a light spray not a heavy to wet application. If the area is still wet you should try to ventilate and air out the area well to allow it to dry and not allow people/pets in the area until dry.

Yes, Precor IGR Concentrate may be stored for later use. It will last 3-5 years from the date of purchase if stored at room temperature.
The dry time for Precor IGR is usually 1-2 hours, depending on how heavily it was applied.
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.
Once Precor IGR is dry, there is no worries about harm to a pet that lays on or licks any surfaces where you have sprayed.
You should only dilute the amount of Precor IGR Concentrate that you plan to spray within about 24 hours. You do not want to leave product inside a sprayer after diluting it. You can choose to mix 1/2 oz of Precor IGR with 1/2 gal of water if you are only going to use that much product per treatment.
Precor IGR Concentrate should only be applied to cracks and crevices around rooms with hard floor surfaces, you do not need to broadcast it across the entire area as it is not very habitable for adult fleas. You should also be vacuuming the areas thoroughly every day or at least every other day. Keep in mind, IGR’s have no killing qualities when used alone and must be tank mixed with an insecticide labeled for fleas as an indoor application. When used as directed on the product label Precor treated areas are safe to return to once dry, typically after 1 hour inside.
