    Q
    Will Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator get rid of small red and black ants?
    A

    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator is labeled for ants for both indoors and outdoor applications however needs to be tank mixed with a residual insecticide for eiliminating insects. IGR’s do not kill or eliminate insects when used alone, they only disrupt the growth cyle and reproduction.   

    Talstar P is labeled for ants at the rate of 0.5 fl oz to 1 fl oz per gallon of water and can be tank mixed with Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator for a 2 in 1 application. Please view the Talstar P product label as well as our Ant Control Guide for more information and helpful tips on eradicating this pest.

    Q
    Will Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator kill or keep spider mites from reproducing?
    A

    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator is not labeled for Spider Mites and being an Insect Growth Regulator, would not have any killing qualities to it. IGR’s only help stop or inhibit the growth cycle of listed insects and should be tank mixed with an insecticide also labeled for the target insect. 

    Talstar P would be recommended for Spider Mites as it works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites. Talstar P provides optimal spider mite control during Spring to mid-Summer when applied at the higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments at the lower rate.

    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.

    Q
    Is Tekko Pro IGR labeled for spiders? If not, what is recommended for an IGR to help control spiders?
    A

    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator is not labeled for spiders, nor is any other IGR that we are aware of.  However, by adding an IGR to the tank mixture with an insecticide, you can effectively break the life cycle of some of the insects that spiders feed upon, thereby reducing the spider activity in and around your home, indirectly.

    Q
    Does Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator Concentrate come in a granular form
    I looking for a outside ant insecticide for yard
    A
    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator Concentrate is only available in a liquid form and is not an insecticide but an insect growth regulator.  IGRs stop the juvenile pests from growing into adults.  If you are looking for a granular insecticide for the lawn Talstar XTRA would be the better product to go with.

    Q
    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.

    Q
    Can Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator be used to treat ant mounds?
    A

    Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator Concentrate is labeled for ants but this product will not kill insects, it works only as a growth regulator to help stop the reproduction. You would want to mix Tekko Pro with an insecticide labeled for ants such as Talstar P which will kill ants when mound drenching or broadcasting applications. Please review the product labels for recommended rates and application instructions.

    Q
    How is Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator applied to the lawn?
    A

    Tekko Pro IGR is mixed at 1 oz per gallon, 1.5 oz per gallon, or 2 oz per gallon of water depending on the target pests you are treating for. Applications should be made using a hand pump sprayer, back pack sprayer or mist blower for effective coverage.
    IGR’s are most effective when tank mixed with a residual insecticide labeled for the target pest you are treatingas they will not kill insects when used alone. Please review the product label for mix rates based on your target pests and more information.

    Q
    Does Tekko Pro work on Tent Caterpillar infestations?
    I have an infestation of tent caterpillars in an atrium at one of my accounts. They are destroying all the foliage at a very fast rate.
    A

    No, Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator is not labeled to control tent caterpillars. Unfortunately, we do not carry any Insect Growth Regulator that is labeled for tent caterpillars.

    We would recommend a foliar spray insecticide like Natural Guard Caterpillar Killer Spray with Bt mixed at 2 fl. ozs. per 3 gallons of water (4 tsp. per gallon) for tent caterpilllars. Please review the product label for more information.

  • 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.

    Q
    How do you use Tekko and Talstar together if you use a hose end sprayer?
    Do I just add half and half and then shake it up? Bifen IT not strong enough. Using Talstar now and need added boost. Mosquitoes are very bad this year. Jan 26 and I'm being attacked.

Both are mixed at 1 ounce per 1 gallon of water, which will treat approximately 1000 square feet.
