DIRECTIONS FOR USE
INDOOR USE CONTROL OF FLEAS
The active ingredients in Tekko Pro are Novaluron and
Pyriproxyfen, both are insect growth regulators. Insect growth
hormones are naturally occurring in insects and Tekko Pro
prevents the adult flea from developing. These properties will
gradually result in the reduction and eventual elimination of
the flea population. Flea eggs and flea larvae that come
into contact with Tekko Pro will also not develop
into adult fleas. Tekko Pro works for up to 7 months
by inhibiting the development of the immature stages of
the flea and preventing them from reaching the biting adult
stage. Tekko Pro does not work on adult fleas and flea
pupae that already exist.
Note:
- If a high population of adult fleas is present, it may be
necessary to use an adulticide. Tekko Pro may be combined with
an EPA registered flea adulticide.
- Application of Tekko Pro prior to the flea
season will aid in reducing developing populations. Apply
to areas where pets and other animals are known to frequent
and where previous infestations have been known to occur to
prevent the emergence of adult fleas and also
control stages of fleas that don’t resemble adult fleas.
- Before treatment, vacuum carpets, draperies
and upholstered furniture. Dispose of vacuum bag in an
outdoor trash receptacle.
- Remove pets prior to spraying treatment area.
- After treatment, do not allow children and pets into
treated areas until spray has dried. Spray Mixing: Prepare a
diluted spray solution by adding 1 fluid ounce Tekko Pro per
gallon of water. Partially fill the mixing container with
water, add Tekko Pro, agitate and fill to final volume.
Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight.
Agitate before each use.
Use with an Adulticide Insecticide: For
immediate relief of adult fleas, Tekko Pro may be
combined with an insecticide registered for control of
adult fleas. This mixture will also inhibit the
development of the immature stages of the flea for up to
7 months. Follow all precautions and use directions on
both products. Use at the application rate specified in the
table below.
Note: Do not allow children or pets to
contact treated surfaces until spray has dried.
CONTROL OF COCKROACHES AND CRICKETS
Tekko Pro will prevent nymphal cockroaches and crickets
from developing into adults. After application, cockroaches
with twisted wings will begin to appear indicating that they
are unable to reproduce. When used as directed,
cockroach and cricket populations will be eliminated.
One treatment works for 6 months against
hatching cockroaches and crickets. If a high population
of adult cockroaches are present, the use of an EPA registered
adulticide may be necessary for immediate relief.
Tekko Pro concentrate may be combined with a
cockroach adulticide.
Spray Mixing: Prepare a diluted spray solution
by adding 2 fluid ounces Tekko Pro per gallon
of water. Partially fill the mixing container with
water, add Tekko Pro, agitate and fill to the final
volume. Agitate before each use. Do not allow
spray mixture to stand overnight.
Use with an Adulticide Insecticide: For
immediate relief of adult cockroaches, Tekko Pro may be
combined with an insecticide registered for adult cockroach
control. This mixture will also inhibit the development of the
immature stages of the cockroach for up to 6 months. Follow
all precautions and use directions on both products. Use
at the application rate specified in the table below.
Note: This product cannot be mixed with
any product containing a label prohibition against
such mixing.
CONTROL OF STORED PRODUCT PESTS
(Including Indian Meal Moths, Rice Moths, Tobacco Moths, Red
Flour Beetles, Confused Flour Beetles, Lesser Grain Borers,
Merchant Grain Beetles, Saw-toothed Grain Beetles,
Warehouse Beetles, Cigarette Beetles, and
Dermestid Beetles)
Spray Mixing for Surface, Spot, Crack and
Crevice Application: Prepare a diluted spray solution
by adding 1.5 fluid ounces of Tekko Pro per gallon
of water. Partially fill the mixing container with
water, add Tekko Pro, agitate and fill to final
volume. Agitate before each spray application.
Preparation of Adulticide and Tekko Pro
Combination: Tekko Pro can be mixed with other
EPA registered pesticides and used in accordance with the
most restrictive of label limitations and precautions.
No label dosage rates may be exceeded.
Tank Mixes: Make applications in accordance
with those use precautions and label instructions
that are consistent for each product. Prepare the
tank mix using the label rate of adulticide and Tekko Pro
by adding the adulticide first and making sure it is well
mixed and in suspension, then adding the correct amount of
Tekko Pro according to the label instructions below.
Note: This product cannot be mixed with any product
containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
OUTDOOR USE CONTROL OF FLEAS
Apply Tekko Pro dilution to areas where pets normally
frequent including but not limited to under trees, ornamental
plants, and shrubs. Application on soil surfaces will provide
21 days of IGR activity. If large populations of adult fleas
exist, treat the lawn area with an EPA registered lawn
treatment product to kill adult fleas.
Spray Mixing: To prepare a diluted spray
solution, mix 1.0 fluid ounce Tekko Pro in a
sufficient volume of water (minimum amount of water
1 gallon), depending on spray equipment used, to cover
1,000 ft. Partially filling the sprayer with water, add Tekko
Pro, agitate and fill with water to the final volume. Agitate
before each spray.
Use with an Adulticide Insecticide: For
immediate relief of adult fleas, Tekko Pro may be
combined with an insecticide registered for control of
adult fleas. This mixture will also inhibit the
development of the immature stages of the flea for up to
7 months. Follow all precautions and use directions on
both products. Use at the application rate specified in the
table below.
CONTROL OF FLYING INSECTS
Tekko Pro may be used for the control of HOUSE FLIES,
STABLE FLIES, MOTHS, MOSQUITOES, NUISANCE FLIES (GNATS,
MIDGES) and other similar flying pest insects such as those
classified as Dipterous or Hymenopterous.
General Surface Treatments: Tekko Pro causes a
decrease in the number and hatching of eggs laid by treated
adults. Fly larvae (maggots) treated with Tekko Pro
cannot develop into normal adults. The use of Tekko Pro
will result in a reduction in adult fly populations after 3-4
weeks, at the time when previously hatched adult flies have
died naturally.
Tekko Pro may be used for control of flying insect pests
in, on and around buildings as described in the use table.
These areas include, but are not limited to residential,
commercial, public, industrial and agricultural buildings.
Tekko Pro may be used to control nuisance flies, gnats, midges,
and mosquitoes by application into moist breeding areas
(potted plants, moist debris or litter) or into areas holding
standing water such as gutters, drains, pools and
fountains.
Treatments in Combination with an
Adulticide: Use Tekko Pro in alternation or in a tank
mix combination with an adulticide insecticide for quick
knockdown and more rapid control of adult flying insect pests.
As an IPM strategy, combining or alternating Tekko Pro with
other types of chemicals, such as pyrethroid or other
insecticides can reduce or prevent the development of
genetic resistance to these adulticide insecticides.
CONTROL OF COCKROACHES AND CRICKETS
Tekko Pro will prevent nymphal cockroaches and crickets from
developing into adults. After application, cockroaches with
twisted wings will begin to appear indicating that they are
unable to reproduce. When used as directed, cockroach and

OTHER USES FOR CONTROL OF LITTER BEETLES (Such
as Darkling, Hide and Carrion Beetles):
Tekko Pro can be applied to litter, such as in poultry houses
infested with litter beetles, to break the lifecycle of these
insect pests. Make uniform application of Tekko Pro to litter
at the rate of 1 oz. of product in a sufficient amount of
water (minimum of 1 gallon) to cover 1,000 ft using a
low pressure sprayer or similar applicator to
achieve thorough coverage. Remove the old litter and
animals from immediate treatment area. Make surface
treatment immediately after animals are removed and
again just prior to new animal placement, making sure to
treat areas where beetles frequently occur, such as walls,
supports, cages, stalls and around feeders. Application of EPA
registered adulticides, to kill adult egg-laying beetles, to
walls and floors at cleanout and before reintroduction of
animals, will suppress beetles that escaped earlier
treatment and will help delay onset of future
infestations. Cover or remove exposed food, feed, water
and watering equipment. Apply Tekko Pro uniformly to
floor area and to walls, posts, and cage framing (birds grown
in cages only). Application should also be made
into cracks and crevices around insulation. Reapply after
each grow-out or sanitization procedure. Make perimeter
treatments around the outside of building foundations to
prevent immigrating adult beetles. Apply Tekko Pro or EPA
registered adulticide insecticides, or both, in a uniform
band at least 1 foot up and 1-4 feet out from
foundation. To maintain population control, it is advisable
to maintain a year-round treatment program.
