What are Insect Growth Regulators?
Insect growth regulators (IGRs) like Flea Fix, Precor, and Martins, are substances that prevent insect larvae from developing into adults. This makes them an effective complement to products like Frontline Plus, which kill adult fleas when they bite your pet. Many IGRs have an active ingredient called Nylar, which is photostable (meaning it is not broken down by sunlight) so it can be used both inside and outside. They provide you with a two-stage attack on fleas, which quite thoroughly breaks the flea lifecycle. They are available at many outlets where you would buy any other pet meds or pet supplies. Pests Other than Fleas Because of the nature of insect growth regulators, they are effective household pest control for much more than just fleas. Any variety of insect that has a larval stage can be effectively controlled by their use. This includes ticks, roaches, and houseflies. document.getElementById(‘adsense_placeholder_1’).innerHTML = document.getElementById(‘adsense_ad_1_hidden’)
