Apply as a broadcast spray to carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, pet resting areas and pet bedding. .

Yes, Precor IGR Concentrate can be used indoors with children and pets. Keep 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.
Precor IGR is only labeled to control fleas. We recommend using an IGR such as Nyguard or Gentrol for roaches.
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.

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.

Leftover Precor IGR solution can be disposed of by pouring it out onto the ground up against the foundation of your home.
Precor IGR is only labeled for fleas to interior listed areas on the products. We do offer other insect growth regulators (IGRs) that can be used for other insects and outdoor areas.
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.
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.
Precor IGR Concentrate is not labeled to be applied in a fogger. Please check out our list of Fogging solutions.

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.
Yes, if Precor IGR were to be spilled on sheets or blankets, it would be necessary to wash them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
