    Q
    Is Precor IGR safe around dogs and cats?
    I know you said Precor IGR is safe after it is dry. I have only hardwood floors in my house. Will it harm my dog who lays on them, even when it is dry?
    A

    No, once the Precor IGR is dry there is no worries about harm to a pet that lays on the surface.  Remember that Precor IGR is not an insecticide; it does not kill the insect.  It is a product that prevents adult insects from reproducing and is more of a pheremone type chemical that "messes…

    Q
    How long does is take Precor IGR Concentrate to dry after application?
    I need to treat 2 bedrooms, living room, and kitchen. I don't have anyplace in the house to stay while waiting for the product to dry, so I've got to find someplace to go. The length of time it will take to dry will affect my choice of place to go.
    A

    Typically most liquid applications take about 30 mintues to dry.  Specific times will vary based on temperature in the home and other factors.

    Q
    Is it safe to apply Precor IGR to mattresses and box springs for flea control?
    A

    You do not need to actually spray the mattress and boxspring with Precor for it to effect fleas that may be hidden there. If you spray around the area where the bed is located the fleas will still be effected because of the unique molecules of this product. You should also thoroughly vacuum the bed …

    Q
    I got Precor IGR on my skin. Is Precor IGR safe?
    I read that methoprene (Precor IGR) is not toxic to humans. And it is found in some foods. I got this all over my body even in my hair and did not wash it off. What is the worse thing that could happen to me? Will I go bald and my skin sag?
    A

    Methorprene (Precor IGR) is a very safe product that is non toxic to humans.  I'm sure you have showered off by now.  There should be no issues or worries with the product, it just needs to be washed off.

    Q
    Baby fleas back 2 weeks after
    I applied Precor mixed correctly in a pump sprayer and applied throughout my home. It's been about 2 weeks since the application and I've seen 2 very small fleas today. The pets are all on a prescription flea tablet which is administered monthly, and before we applied Precor we've bombed twice, and applied Ortho Home Defense Max 3x throughout our entire home and treated our yard with a spray treatment. We've been battling fleas for 3 months. Why after two weeks are we seeing a new batch after applying an IGR?
    A

    Flea elimination indoors can take 2-8 weeks depending on the level of infestation. Indoor flea control will require you to use a mix of insecticides and also mechanical control methods. We recommend using at least 2 products to control fleas; an insecticide such as Onslaught Insecticide and an …

    Q
    Is IGR safe to use with diatomaceous earth, Permetherin, and if so, what it the recommendation (instructions)?
    With so many products out there, it is overwhelming, particularly when trying to figure out what can be used together and how to use them together in a safe manner. Toxic chemicals (particularly carcinogens) are pretty scary. While I do not own a pet and have never had flea problems before, I found 4 the other day. First time and have no idea how they got there. Is IGR safe to use with diatomaceous earth, Permetherin, and if so, what it the recommendation (instructions)?
    A

    You can safely mix Precor IGR with Permethrin and apply as a broadcast spray on carpets and under furniture. You can also use diatomaceous earth in areas listed on the product label in a home that has been sprayed with permethrin/Precor. Be sure to read and follow the product labels for best results…

    Q
    After Precor IGR has been sprayed on all my floors, should I need to clean my floors to remove any residue?

    If you mop the floors or steam clean the carpets where Precor has been applied you will be effectively removing any residual control you would have gotten from the application. We can tell you that fleas do not usually develop out in the open on hard floors so if Precor IGR was sprayed on hard floor…

    Q
    When using Precor IGR, can I place cats in another room in the house until it's thoroughly dry?
    Basically what I'm asking is can I do one room (closed) at a time but keep cats in another room SAFELY. of course, I wouldn't let them reenter a sprayed room for at least 4 hours and I would open windows in sprayed room to help it dry.
    A

    Yes, removing the cats from the area treated with Precor IGR is a good practice. They can go into an area that has not been treated until the treated area dries completely. This generally takes 1-2 hours depending on how heavily you spray.

    Can you get or sell a higher percentage of methoprene (closer to the 8.8%) as in Frontline Plus?
    The methoprene is only 1.2% in your product, and the methoprene in Frontline Plus is a whopping 8.8%.
    A

    The formulations between structural/lawn insecticides vs. topical animal flea products are completely different. While the concentration in some flea products is quite high, the volume is quite low. There is no reason to use a higher concentration of IGR for insect control in the home. Manufacturers…
