  • Asked by Calvin from Fresno, Ca

    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 Wellls from Lakeville

    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.

    If an area that was treated with Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator gets wet after the application has dried, is that area unsafe for animals?
    A

    No, once Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator has dried completely the first time you do not need to worry about the application getting wet and being a problem to pets. The molecules have already bound to the surface and will not reactivate.

  • Asked by Sean from Oklahoma City, Ok
    08/11/2015
    Q
    Can Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator be used as a foam with a foaming agent?
    Can this be used with the Profoam Foaming Agent? If not, can it be used in a foaming application at all? I need an IGR that prevents molting (chitin synthesis inhibitor) as well as has the juvenile hormone and so far this seems like that product, as I haven't found another one that does both, but I also need it to foam into the wall voids. I was planning on getting the Chapin Poly Foamer. Target pest is German Cockroaches.
    A

    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator does not carry foaming instructions on the product label, so we would not recommend it for this use. A good alternative with the same primary active ingredient, Pyriproxyfen, would be Pivot 10 IGR Concentrate, which does carry labeling for use in foaming equipment. Please see our Roach Treatment Guide for more information about roach control.
