Before treatment, vacuum all areas to be treated thoroughly and dispose of bag. Apply only to dry surfaces. Sprinkle directly onto carpeted areas at a rate of 1 lb. per 300 square feet and work into carpet using a hard bristled brush. Any material visible must be brushed into carpet fibers or removed. Also sprinkle under couch cushions and under beds and furniture. Be sure to apply in areas where pets frequently traffic or sleep. Do not vacuum for 2 weeks. This product will no longer be effective if a steam cleaner is used or if the product is allowed to absorb moisture.
Remember, this product is not intended to kill the adult flea population. It only kills larval stages of the flea which prohibits future adult fleas from emerging. Therefore its important to understand that using this product alone will all the active flea population to continue for several weeks following the initial treatment. So if you have a big adult flea population, consider spraying over the top with PERMETHRIN or PRECOR 2000. Either of these products will effectively reduce the adult populations and in turn, enable the problem to be more manageable. Another way to help get things under control sooner is to set out FLEA TRAPS.

I have no carpeting, only tile floors in my home with two cats and one dog. Is it effective for tile floors?
Is it safe to leave on tile floors with my two cats and dog who walk/run over the floors?

Lynn,
If you read through our flea control article, you’ll see we have an aerosol that’s best for use on tiled or hardwood floors. The flea powder is not made for these areas. First, its unsightly and dusty. Carpets will hide it and contain the dust but hard flooring won’t so that’s the first problem trying to use it there. Second, walking over it won’t be hazardous but you will be moving it around and effectively destroying it so you won’t get the long lasting protection it can provide when used in carpeting. More details on this are in our article here:
Treating Tiled or Hardwood Floors for Fleas: https://bugspray.com/article/fleas.html#how-to-treat-tiled-or-hardwood-floors
The good news is Precor 2625 is well suited for tiled or hardwood floors. Use it like hair spray to treat the areas. It doesn’t take much and one can will cover 1000-1500 sq/ft so it goes a long way.

We also strongly recommend setting up some of our flea traps. These will help expedite the process by causing the flea pupae to hatch out sooner and by catching rogue fleas already out and about.
