    Q
    My pest guy used Precor to treat bed bugs in my daughters bedroom. I see it is labeled for fleas. I am going to do it myself now. What liquid should I use in my sprayer?
    A

    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 Gentro

    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 Pr…

    Q
    Can Precor IGR Concentrate be mixed with Suspend SC?
    I have several infestations going on so it would be helpful if I could mix Precor with the insecticide Suspense SC. Any dangers of doing that.
    A

    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 in…

    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 wi…

    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 …

    We live in humid florida- treatment was Thursday friday carpet seemed ok maybe slightly damp then i woke up Saturday -nearly two days after and carpets were wet with noticeable moisture on my feet after walking on them. I am concerned bc in have crawling and active baby
    A

    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…

    Q
    Will chlorinated tap water affect the effectiveness of Precor IGR Concentrate?
    After reading reviews of this product, a couple people mentioned that this concentrate must be mixed with non-chlorinated water, such as distilled water. This was apparently communicated to them by the manufacturer. There was nothing along these lines included in the instructions that arrived with the concentrate. Not knowing this information at the time of application, I have sprayed my whole house using chlorinated tap water to dilute the concentrate. I'm now concerned that the product will be ineffective.
    A

    The manufacturer of Precor IGR Concentrate does not recommend any specific type of water for mixing.  Regular tap water would be fine to use.

    Q
    After mixing Precor IGR Concentrate in 1 gallon of water, can I pour some into a smaller trigger spray bottle to use in areas around the home?
    A

    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…

    Q
    Once Precor is dry, is it safe for cats to eat off the floor?
    I have laminated floors and vinyl tiles throughout the apartment. Every day I throw cat treats or put some treats inside cat toys so the cats get some interactive exercise. My question is, would it be safe for them to eat the treats off the floor once the solution is dry or should I mop before i give them treats like this?
    A

    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. …
