Fleas and Ticks

Will work for 2 weeks against adult fleas and ticks(adulticide) and kills flea eggs for 7 months(Insect Growth Regulator-IGR).
Precor IGR targets fleas in the egg and larval stages of development, preventing them from producing new infestations of breeding, biting adults

Precor IGR penetrates deep into the base of carpet and upholstery fibers, where pre-adult fleas live.

One can(16 oz.) treats up to 2000 sq. feet.Use one can for 1000 sq. ft of carpet area to get proper penetration.

*Very important to keep vacuuming every couple days for several weeks after treatment. This encourages Pupa to emerge and contact insecticide.

Many times, "flea bombs" or flea collars just don't do the trick , a better understanding of the flea life cycle and knowing how to break it is very important to understand.

• Female fleas need blood to complete their reproductive cycle. Baby fleas need blood to grow. Although fleas prefer dog and cat blood, they will eat human blood.
• The female lays eggs on the host animal, but the eggs fall to the ground, carpet, sofa, dog bed, owner's bed, or easy chair where they hatch in two-to-five days.
• The flea larva feeds on organic debris in the environment.
  Within a week or two, depending on temperature and humidity, the larva spins a pupa (or cocoon) to protect it during metamorphosis to the adulthood.
• In the hard-shelled pupa, the larva transforms from a tiny maggot-larvae like creature into an adult able to leap 100 times its own height, and the cycle begins again !
• It may take a couple of treatments to kill off the emerging adults as they evolve from the larvae stage within the first 4-6 weeks. For that reason, the best time to start a flea control program is in the late spring ,prior to an infestation.
• To contain an infestation, fleas must be controlled: Whenever you see adult fleas crawling on your pet, it is only a symptom of a much larger problem.
• Current studies indicate that adult fleas account for only 5% of the total flea population in any given situation. Eggs account for 50%, larvae account for about 35%, and the remaining 10% are the pupal cocoons. That means that for every single adult flea living on your dog or cat, there are 10 eggs, 7 larvae, and 2 cocoons.
  These various life cycle stages will be found anywhere in the pet's environment, but will be most concentrated in the areas that the pet spends most of its time. Remember, when the adult flea on the pet lays an egg, it will fall off the hairs in just a few minutes....it is very similar to them sowing "seeds". So, areas where the pet sleeps or lies around will have the most eggs. If the pet usually walks through certain paths (either indoors or outdoors), t here will also be a substantial amount of eggs scattered in those areas. What this means is that environmental flea control must be spread over the pet's entire environment, focusing on the areas the pet spends the majority of his or her time.
