    Q
    Can Precor IGR Concentrate be sprayed on animals?
    A

    No, Precor IGR Concentrate is not for use on animals. Precor IGR is an insect growth regulator only and will not kill fleas. For best results, Precor IGR should be tank mixed with an insecticide labeled for fleas indoors as a broadcast spray appplication such as Onslaught or FenvaStar EcoCap Insecticide.  Apply as a broadcast spray to carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, pet resting areas and pet bedding. .

    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.

    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.  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.

    Q
    After treating my carpets with Precor IGR Concentrate, they are still wet 24-36 hrs later, should I be worried?
    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.

    For further questions or information, please contact the manufacturer Zoecon directly at 919.352.8580

    Q
    Can we spray Precor on laminate wood flooring?
    We are also using Talstar on the rugs and carpet. Do we retreat after 14 days
    A

    While Precor IGR Concentrate can be applied to flooring, when you are dealing with fleas you would direct treatment to cracks and crevices of hard flooring as the hard surface is not a habitable place for them.  Also Talstar P cannot be used as a broadcast on carpets or rugs or any other interior surface as directed on the product label.  You can only use it inside in cracks and crevices.  Any carpet/rugs treated in this manner should be shampooed/steamed to remove any residual. Fleas treatments are done every 2 weeks with approved insecticides for carpets, such as Onslaught along with the Precor IGR.  Please refer to our How To Get Rid of Fleas guide for complete advice.

    Q
    Can I put an IGR product in my carpet cleaner vacuum?
    I have a light carpet cleaner vacuum. It leaves a small amount of water in the carpet as does most carpet vacs. Hence the need to allow them to dry 1-3 hours. Would this be ok, for it would really force the product through out the carpet? If so, hot or cold water?
    A

    Precor IGR Concentrate or any other IGR cannot be used in carpet cleaner machines.  They are meant to be used in pump sprayers or other approved equipment only.

    Q
    Can mix Precor IGR with Talstar P in a gallon sprayer for indoor use?
    A

    Precor IGR Concentrate can be mixed with insecticides such as Talstar P.  Though Talstar P cannot be used as a broadcast across interior surfaces such as carpet or hard flooring, it is only for cracks and crevices inside.  If you are treating for fleas and need to treat carpets a better option would be Onslaught or Conquer.

    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.

    Q
    Can I use Precor IGR Concentrate more than recommended time on label?
    Why is it not recommended to spray the product more than once every 14 days? The label says that methoprene deteriorates in sunlight, so if a room cannot be prevented from getting direct sunlight part of the day, would it be okay to reapply the product sooner?
    A

    Precor IGR Concentrate should only be applied once every two weeks per the label instructions. We do not recommend treating more than what is listed on the label.

  • Asked by Kayla from Ohio
    07/21/2017
    Q
    What insecticide can be used with Precor?
    We recently bought a house and it turns out was infested with fleas. We had a professional come out and he used Precor but the next day (and days there after) we were still seeing fleas. What can be used in tandem with Precor and vacuuming to kill these fleas?
    A

    Precor concentrate only helps stop the reproductive cycle of the fleas so if the professional only sprayed that before that is likely part of why you haven't seen a huge difference in flea numbers. If you are looking to spray inside the home you would want to use a product like Fenvastar Ecocap to mix with the precor and spray floors, baseboards, crevices, rugs and any other areas where fleas may be present. Once you spray the mixture of those two products down, let them dry completely before you or any pets or children re-enter the home. You will want to continue vacuuming every other day for 14 days and then on the 14th day you will do a reapplication of the same two products. You should not be spraying any more frequently than once every 14 days for flea control. The products will continue to work and slowly kill them out over time. If you have pets in the home make sure they are treated with a flea topical or collar and the outdoor areas around the home they frequent are treated as well.

    08/20/2017
    Q
    Can you mix Precor IGR with boric acid ?
    A

    Precor IGR Concentrate should be mixed with water only.  A boric acid product can be made separately and applied to voids, cracks and crevices, and other listed areas once the Precor application has completely dried.  Be sure to follow the label instructions for each product.
