  • Asked by Tehani from Honolulu, Hi
    01/15/2016
    Q
    Can I mix Archer IGR and Talstar P to get rid of fleas indoors and outdoors? If so, what is the mixing rate?
    A

    Talstar P is labeled for the treatment of fleas outdoors only. It can be mixed with Archer IGR. They can be tank mixed at one ounce for each product to one gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. It can only be applied to indoor cracks and crevices. Fleas will be on the open floor surfaces so it is important to apply a product to those surfaces indoors for eradication. We do carry a Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article How to Get Rid of Fleas.

  • Asked by Randolph from Palmyra
    06/20/2018
    Q
    How does Archer IGR work for mosquitoes and ants?
    I only need to spray outside.
    A

    Archer IGR is an insect growth regulator, which inhibits the reproductive cycle of the insect so it can no longer reproduce.  It is not an insecticide on it's own and should be paired with an insecticide like Talstar for best results.

  • Asked by Carol from Tarpon Springs, Fl
    10/27/2015
    Q
    Will Archer IGR harm earthworms?
    I try to limit the use of chemicals in my yard to increase earthworm activity and the soil's fertility. Will this, or other IGR's, harm earthworms and beneficial nematodes? What is the least toxic outside flea treatment available?
    A

    It is possible that Archer IGR could stop the lifecycle of earthworms even though it is not labeled for them. Earthworms are considered beneficial insects and will not be found on any label.

    We do carry green products, such as Essentria IC3, which is made with items that naturally occur in nature, such as rosemary and peppermint oil. This will likely last about two weeks outdoors because it will break down in the elements outdoors more quickly then a synthetic product.

  • Asked by Khouri from Topsfield, Ma
    08/06/2015
    Q
    How much Archer IGR should be used per gallon when treating my property with a backpack mister?
    Also, how often should Archer be applied? I plan on using the Bifen IT, Exciter and Archer all together but am wondering if I will have to use all three chemicals every time I spray (Bifen IT every 28 days)
    A

    Archer IGR would be mixed at .5 to 1 oz per gallon of water.  You can mix Bifen IT, Archer, and Exciter together in the same mix everytime you spray.  Both Archer and Bifen can be used every 14 days outdoors for active infestations.  Exciter is a quick contact kill only so can be used more often if needed.

  • Asked by Kim from Yale, Mi
    12/04/2015
    Q
    How often do I have to spray Archer IGR for fleas inside my home?
    A

    Archer IGR should be used every 10-14 days when treating for fleas. We would also recommend that you use an insecticide in combination with this product for fleas, such as Temprid SC. Both of the products will be used every 10-14 days. Be sure to vacuum daily in between treatments as well. Please see our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips and information.

  • Asked by Joel from Barbados
    02/27/2015
    Q
    Which IGR can I use for ants, roaches, ticks and fleas?
    I am looking for a spray that I can use for all four, as most of our treatments are based on these four, then we bait the mice or rats. which two chemicals are best for my program.
    A
    Archer IGR is a very effective insect growth regulator that is labeled for ants, roaches, fleas and ticks. This product is very photostable, meaning it does not break down easily in light. This IGR can be used indoors and outdoors. Prior to any interior treatment, carpets, draperies and upholstered furniture should be vacuumed. The vacuum cleaner bag should be sealed and disposed of in an outdoor trash receptacle.

    Q
    How do I mix Archer IGR and Cy-kick CS?
    I hired several pest control people to get rid of American Roaches. The one company that really did a great job used cy-kick CS with Archer IGR. I found that you actually sell this! I want to do it myself now. How do you mix these two together? Meaning how much of each one do I mix with water together? Thanks
    A
    You will mix 1 oz of Archer IGR and 1-2 oz of Cy Kick CS per gallon of water. Be sure to mix well and keep the mixture agitated during use. Discard any left overs after 24 hours of mixing by pouring the solution outside next to the foundation of the structure.

  • Asked by Chris from Midland, Tx
    11/17/2016
    Q
    Is Archer IGR or Nyguard IGR effective against oriental cockroaches and which would be better for outdoor use?
    I see on the label it only lists asian, german, and brown-banded roaches. Also looking at Nyguard and that says the same.
    A

    Both the Archer IGR and Nyguard IGR are labeled to treat for both asian and oriental  roaches (which are the same type of roach). If you are using this for an outdoor application you would want to choose the Archer since it is more photostable in an outdoor application.

    Q
    Does it make sense to mix Archer IGR, Conquer, and Gentrol IGR together for indoor/outdoor use?
    I've used conquer and archer together, mostly targeting fleas, but would like to add a roach IGR. Does it make sense to mix these three together for indoor/outdoor use?
    A

    No, there is no need to use Gentrol IGR as well as Archer IGR. Archer IGR is labeled for roaches as well.

  • Asked by Ames

    Q
    Do you carry a product similar to Archer IGR but in an insect fogger type form?
    We have always tossed insect foggers underneath our house to rid/prevent the buggers because the space is too small and cramped. A person would need to roll around down there while laying flat on a skateboard if they were to spray insecticide manually! But after reading the positive reviews on this product we would like to know if you carry such a similar product with same effectiveness in can form.
    A
    Archer IGR does not come in a fogger form.  We do have a product intended for fleas and it does have an IGR like what Archer is, and is in a fogger form.  The product is called Precor Plus Fogger.

  • Asked by Victoria from New Orleans
    09/14/2014
    Q
    Dog park use, would there be any risk to dogs that might chew on the grass after it's dried?
    The application would occur during closed hours so that it would be dried before dogs enter the park. Another question is, you note that fleas live and reproduce in shady moist areas of the yard, but what if there are a lot of dogs on the property as in a dog park? Should we just treat the entire lawn (approx 1/2 acre) and perimeter of dwellings on a routine basis? Thank you for your help.
    A

    Once Archer IGR is dry, it is safe the dogs to be on the lawn and chew the grass.

    We would recommend treating the entire lawn. Archer IGR is labeled to be used in pet dwellings so this will be safe to use there as well. We would also recommend using an insecticide with Archer IGR, such as Onslaught. Archer IGR is just a growth regulator. It will not kill the fleas. It will only stop them from reproducing. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
