TEKKO PRO PINT

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

INDOOR USE CONTROL OF FLEAS
The active ingredients in Tekko Pro are Novaluron andPyriproxyfen, both are insect growth regulators. Insect growthhormones are naturally occurring in insects and Tekko Proprevents the adult flea from developing. These properties willgradually result in the reduction and eventual elimination ofthe flea population. Flea eggs and flea larvae that comeinto contact with Tekko Pro will also not developinto adult fleas. Tekko Pro works for up to 7 monthsby inhibiting the development of the immature stages ofthe flea and preventing them from reaching the biting adultstage. Tekko Pro does not work on adult fleas and fleapupae that already exist.

Note:

• If a high population of adult fleas is present, it may benecessary to use an adulticide. Tekko Pro may be combined withan EPA registered flea adulticide.
• Application of Tekko Pro prior to the fleaseason will aid in reducing developing populations. Applyto areas where pets and other animals are known to frequentand where previous infestations have been known to occur toprevent the emergence of adult fleas and alsocontrol stages of fleas that don’t resemble adult fleas.
• Before treatment, vacuum carpets, draperiesand upholstered furniture. Dispose of vacuum bag in anoutdoor trash receptacle.
• Remove pets prior to spraying treatment area.
• After treatment, do not allow children and pets intotreated areas until spray has dried. Spray Mixing: Prepare adiluted spray solution by adding 1 fluid ounce Tekko Pro pergallon of water. Partially fill the mixing container withwater, 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: Forimmediate relief of adult fleas, Tekko Pro may becombined with an insecticide registered for control ofadult fleas. This mixture will also inhibit thedevelopment of the immature stages of the flea for up to7 months. Follow all precautions and use directions onboth products. Use at the application rate specified in thetable below.

Note: Do not allow children or pets tocontact treated surfaces until spray has dried.

CONTROL OF COCKROACHES AND CRICKETS
Tekko Pro will prevent nymphal cockroaches and cricketsfrom developing into adults. After application, cockroacheswith twisted wings will begin to appear indicating that theyare unable to reproduce. When used as directed,cockroach and cricket populations will be eliminated.One treatment works for 6 months againsthatching cockroaches and crickets. If a high populationof adult cockroaches are present, the use of an EPA registeredadulticide may be necessary for immediate relief.Tekko Pro concentrate may be combined with acockroach adulticide.

Spray Mixing: Prepare a diluted spray solutionby adding 2 fluid ounces Tekko Pro per gallonof water. Partially fill the mixing container withwater, add Tekko Pro, agitate and fill to the finalvolume. Agitate before each use. Do not allowspray mixture to stand overnight.

Use with an Adulticide Insecticide: Forimmediate relief of adult cockroaches, Tekko Pro may becombined with an insecticide registered for adult cockroachcontrol. This mixture will also inhibit the development of theimmature stages of the cockroach for up to 6 months. Followall precautions and use directions on both products. Useat the application rate specified in the table below.

Note: This product cannot be mixed withany product containing a label prohibition againstsuch mixing.

Spray Mixing for Surface, Spot, Crack andCrevice Application: Prepare a diluted spray solutionby adding 1.5 fluid ounces of Tekko Pro per gallonof water. Partially fill the mixing container withwater, add Tekko Pro, agitate and fill to finalvolume. Agitate before each spray application.

Preparation of Adulticide and Tekko ProCombination: Tekko Pro can be mixed with otherEPA registered pesticides and used in accordance with themost restrictive of label limitations and precautions.No label dosage rates may be exceeded. 

Tank Mixes: Make applications in accordancewith those use precautions and label instructionsthat are consistent for each product. Prepare thetank mix using the label rate of adulticide and Tekko Proby adding the adulticide first and making sure it is wellmixed and in suspension, then adding the correct amount ofTekko Pro according to the label instructions below.

Note: This product cannot be mixed with any productcontaining a label prohibition against such mixing.

OUTDOOR USE CONTROL OF FLEAS

Apply Tekko Pro dilution to areas where pets normallyfrequent including but not limited to under trees, ornamentalplants, and shrubs. Application on soil surfaces will provide21 days of IGR activity. If large populations of adult fleasexist, treat the lawn area with an EPA registered lawntreatment product to kill adult fleas.

Spray Mixing: To prepare a diluted spraysolution, mix 1.0 fluid ounce Tekko Pro in asufficient volume of water (minimum amount of water1 gallon), depending on spray equipment used, to cover1,000 ft. Partially filling the sprayer with water, add TekkoPro, agitate and fill with water to the final volume. Agitatebefore each spray.

Use with an Adulticide Insecticide: Forimmediate relief of adult fleas, Tekko Pro may becombined with an insecticide registered for control ofadult fleas. This mixture will also inhibit thedevelopment of the immature stages of the flea for up to7 months. Follow all precautions and use directions onboth products. Use at the application rate specified in thetable 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 thoseclassified as Dipterous or Hymenopterous.

General Surface Treatments: Tekko Pro causes adecrease in the number and hatching of eggs laid by treatedadults. Fly larvae (maggots) treated with Tekko Procannot develop into normal adults. The use of Tekko Prowill result in a reduction in adult fly populations after 3-4weeks, at the time when previously hatched adult flies havedied naturally.

Tekko Pro may be used for control of flying insect pestsin, 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 holdingstanding water such as gutters, drains, pools andfountains.

Treatments in Combination with anAdulticide: Use Tekko Pro in alternation or in a tankmix combination with an adulticide insecticide for quickknockdown and more rapid control of adult flying insect pests.As an IPM strategy, combining or alternating Tekko Pro withother types of chemicals, such as pyrethroid or otherinsecticides can reduce or prevent the development ofgenetic resistance to these adulticide insecticides.

CONTROL OF COCKROACHES AND CRICKETS

OTHER USES FOR CONTROL OF LITTER BEETLES (Suchas Darkling, Hide and Carrion Beetles):
Tekko Pro can be applied to litter, such as in poultry housesinfested with litter beetles, to break the lifecycle of theseinsect pests. Make uniform application of Tekko Pro to litterat the rate of 1 oz. of product in a sufficient amount ofwater (minimum of 1 gallon) to cover 1,000 ft using alow pressure sprayer or similar applicator toachieve thorough coverage. Remove the old litter andanimals from immediate treatment area. Make surfacetreatment immediately after animals are removed andagain just prior to new animal placement, making sure totreat areas where beetles frequently occur, such as walls,supports, cages, stalls and around feeders. Application of EPAregistered adulticides, to kill adult egg-laying beetles, towalls and floors at cleanout and before reintroduction ofanimals, will suppress beetles that escaped earliertreatment and will help delay onset of futureinfestations. Cover or remove exposed food, feed, waterand watering equipment. Apply Tekko Pro uniformly tofloor area and to walls, posts, and cage framing (birds grownin cages only). Application should also be madeinto cracks and crevices around insulation. Reapply aftereach grow-out or sanitization procedure. Make perimetertreatments around the outside of building foundations toprevent immigrating adult beetles. Apply Tekko Pro or EPAregistered adulticide insecticides, or both, in a uniformband at least 1 foot up and 1-4 feet out fromfoundation. To maintain population control, it is advisableto maintain a year-round treatment program.
