    Q
    Is Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator effective for mites?
    Is this effective in the growth of poultry mites? Also, can this be broadcast, or is it only for spot and perimeter spraying?
    A

    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator is not labeled for any type of mites, so we cannot recommend this application.  Nyguard IGR is the only IGR we have that is labeled for mites in general.

  • Asked by Calvin from Fresno, Ca
    04/18/2019
    Q
    Which is best to use for fleas and mosquitos outdoor, Permethrin SFR, Riptide, NyGuard or Tekko in an outdoor fog?
    Using in outdoor cold digger
    A

    Permethrin SFR cannot be used in a fogger nor can Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator outside for fleas.  You could use Riptide and NyGuard IGR but Riptide is a contact kill only and will not provide any type of residual control.  A better option would really be to use Permethrin and Nyguard or Tekko in a pump sprayer as directed on each product label so that you can continued control.

  • Asked by Brandon from Fort Worth, Tx
    04/06/2021
    Q
    Is Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator a repellent insecticide to create a "barrier" or is this undetected by insects?
    A

    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator is not labeled as a repellent insecticide however will go undetected by insects as they cross the treated area. There are NO insecticidal properties with Insect Growth Regulators, therefore IGR’s should be mixed with an insecticide labeled for the target insect you are treating for best results. IGR’s only disrupt the growth process of immature insects and work more as birth control to help control and stop the reproduction cycle.

  • Asked by Mary from Ferdinand, In
    08/07/2021
    Q
    How often can Tekko Pro IGR be sprayed in the home for German Roaches? Tank mixing with Suspend SC and been spraying monthly, is that sufficient for treatment?
    A

    Yes, you may spray Suspend SC once every 30 days indoors as long as you are following the instructions on the product label. The Tekko Pro has a longer lasting residual, so it is not necessary to spray it every 30 days. For roaches, Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator can work for up to 6 months after the application if you follow the instructions on the product label. You may also want to consider adding a roach bait gel to your treatment plan. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Roaches Guide for more information and helpful tips on eradicating this pest.

  • Asked by Wellls from Lakeville
    03/27/2024
    Q
    Can Tekko be sprayed on to orchid plants to kill off aphids?
    A

    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator is labeled safe for ornamentals such as orchids. However, Tekko by itself will not get rid of any insect nor is it labeled for aphids. You may consider using Talstar P Professional Insecticide instead which is labeled for aphids & can also be used on ornamentals. We do recommend avoiding spraying the blooms to limit contact with polinators and apply in early morning or late evening when they are less active.
