No, vacumming will not remove PT Ultracide that has dried on the carpet.
Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray and Ultracide contain different active ingredients but either would be great choice for floor surfaces including hardwoods for indoor flea control. Make sure to apply once every two weeks and vacuum daily (even on hard surfaces). Please test a small area with the product first. Hold the can (upside down) three feet away from the floor and in a light sweeping motion apply a mist broadcast on the flooring. Allow to dry completely prior to allowing the cats to re-enter. They should be removed during the applicaitons with the products. Please click on the link below for more information on treating fleas. If you have any questions/concerns, please let us know.

Indoor Flea Control
Ultracide is labeled for use indoors only. We do carry outdoor flea control products. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for more helpful treatment information.
Once dry it is only for people and pets to be back in area treated with PT Ultracide - 20 oz. Typically this is about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Your home does not have to be a certain temperature in order to apply PT Ultracide - 20 oz.
PT Ultracide will take between 2-3 hours to dry, depending on how heavily it was applied.
We cannot comment on the work that is done or will be done by a professional pest control company. Here is what we can tell you: Ultracide is not labeled for bedbugs so we would not recommend it for this type of application. Ultracide has a broad application nozzle which will not direct the product into cracks and crevices where bedbugs hide making it not ideal for bedbug applications. Also, the manufacturer has not tested Ultracide for bedbug applications so we have no idea if it will be effective for bedbugs. It will take multiple products to get rid of bedbugs (and also multiple applications of the products) but you must make sure the correct products are being used. Make sure only products that are labeled for bedbugs are being used and also make sure the products are being applied in areas where they are labeled to be applied (many products cannot be used on beds or furniture). Most of our customers and most professionals use the products that come in our bedbug kits, which is why we have put the kits together.
