Zoecon Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray, 16 oz.

No joke, this stuff WORKS! Quick backstory: my cat had gotten fleas (I have no idea from where). I took him to the vet, who gave him Capstar (the pill that kills them immediately) and Revolution. It helped in the short term, but the fleas persisted. The problem is that they can linger in your home, and they’re so damn persistent. This is where this spray saved the day. I have now been 100% flea-free for the last couple of months. Not a single flea in sight both in my home or on my cat. I’m going to walk you through how I got rid of them FOR GOOD. It only takes a few days. If you have a single cat and a flea problem, follow these directions (which is exactly what I did) and you’ll be done with fleas in a matter of days once and for all: 1) Schedule a time to board your cat for 2-3 percent days. Yes, I know, your cat won’t be happy about this. This may stress him/her out by being away. But this is a necessary step. The cat is the host, and the host needs to removed from your home in order to truly eliminate the fleas. Try and see if your vet can do the boarding, as a lot of them do. 2) Schedule your cat for a flea-bath at your vet or an animal hospital for end of the boarding just before you plan to bring him/her home. Again, your cat will not be happy about a bath. But the flea bath will TRULY eliminate every single flea and egg on its entire body. The bath is crucial. My cat was miserable about it, but a day later he forgot about it and was back to his happy and itch-free self. 3) Now that you have the boarding and bath scheduled, you also want to get book a hotel or a place to stay for the time that the cat is away. You want to be out of your home for 2-3 days (however long the cat is away). Personally, I took it as a time to get away and de-stress. Go somewhere fun! So now that the planning is done, here’s what to do when the time comes: 4) Drop your cat off for the boarding. 5) Return back home, and vacuum the ever-loving hell out of your home. Get every inch and crevice. Not just a 5-minute sweep over, but a FULL vacuuming of every area possible. When your done vacuuming, throw the bag away. If you have a bagless vacuum like me, dump it and clean it out. 6) This is where the spray comes in! Use this spray and cover EVERY area of your floor with it. Get all walking areas, upholstery, couch, bed, etc. Remember to spray in all the hidden areas too, especially any area your cat has access to. SPRAY A LOT! Use almost all the can but don’t finish it. Just leave a little bit. 7) Get out of your home. Let the spray do its thing. Now enjoy a couple days away. Now for the final steps: 8) Before picking up your cat, return home after your relaxing “vacation” and do another quick vacuum. This time it doesn’t have to be so intense, but enough to go over all areas at least once. 9) Finish off the last bit of the spray. Again, get all main areas. But this time you’re only spraying a little bit, which will dissipate in a matter of hours, so your home will be cat-ready. 10) Pick up your cat from boarding. If you have Capstar pills, great! Give him one. If you don’t have them, no big deal. But I still recommend administering one at this time. 11) Flea bath time! 12) Return home with your cat. He just had a stressful couple days, so let him be. Give him time to relax and unwind. Congratulations, your home will now be 100% rid of fleas. There’s none on your cat due to the Capstar/flea bath combo, and none in your home thanks to the Zoecon spray. THIS STUFF WORKS!!! The steps above are exactly what I did, and it was the ultimate silver bullet. Does it cost time and money? Yes. Does it stress the cat out? Yes. Did it completely eliminate fleas from my home? Yes. It was worth it, and the cat is happy he doesn’t have to live with fleas anymore. Also remember to stay on top of vacuuming (just in case) and keep using monthly flea medication (Revolution is what I use) Even if you have a different method from mine, this spray should still be in your inventory. It works wonders and didn’t leave any residue or odor. Good luck!

This is a bit more than a single product review of Precor 2000 Plus. Since moving out into the boonies of the South, my cats have been feeling the call of their wild ancestors deeply and escaping outside only to return covered in ticks or fleas. This year has been especially wet in the banjo depths of nowhere swampland, so the fleas are getting more resilient and the fleas meds I was buying just didn't cut it (don't waste your money on PetArmor, it sucks). They were driving me crazy with scratching and flea dirt. Everything was getting infested with them. So first... I bought generic Capstar and a different flea topical than I usually get, Advecta. It's supposedly equivalent to Advantage. I gave the cats the Capstar rip-off tablets wrapped in cheese. After one day, I put the topical on them. It seemed to be working well. However, all the fleas started to vacate the cats and converge in my carpet, chairs, blankets, bathroom, beds... I was getting bit up and frustrated. I was paranoid that fleas were on me even outside the house. I caved and went to the store to buy the only flea spray they had in stock, which was Black Flag in a purple can. It claims you can spray directly on pet bedding and even your dog, but I have never attempted to use it on my pets. I prefer the nozzle that sprays upside down, but Black Flag cans have some kind of horn shape and I ended up wasting a third of the can because of defects in design. I used two cans and didn't see immediate results. Fleas were still jumping on me, but I suppose it was delayed. I did notice the flea numbers had reduced a little, but after a day, more of them hatched. Two days after spraying, I placed an order for this Precor 2000 Plus and was still waiting on delivery. I was done playing games. I read a lot of reviews about washing everything and cleaning meticulously... and legit knew I wasn't doing ANY of that. I put all my minimal supply of effort into my job. I work from home, 10+ hour days. I bought a self cleaning litter box... clearly I don't have the spoons for that much scrubbing and vacuuming. I bought 2 cans, prepared to spray the crap out of my house for weeks, on my lunch breaks if I had to. I got the cans in and I did throw the cats into a room for a while and did a single pass perimeter spray for most of the rooms, along the edges, around furniture and under it. Then on any room where I had previously had fleas jumping on my legs, I did two spray passes over the entire surface of the carpet or floor. While that dried, I sprayed the couch, chairs and stripped my bed to the mattress and sprayed that down. I let them dry, put the sheets on and then the top cover, which I sprayed the surface of. My cats sit on my bed, so I figured fleas would just converge there on unsprayed bedding. Once it was dry, I didn't smell anything. I haven't seen a living flea since spraying. This stuff is working 100 times better than the store spray already and I haven't even used a third of the first can. I was worried about using furniture that was sprayed, but I haven't noticed anything weird. It might be less repeat treatments to do all the cleaning people recommend, but if you don't have the time or energy, this stuff will still work well. Just expect to have to spray more and order accordingly.

This. Buy this. Seriously. This is my second time using this product since 2015 when I had a serious flea infestation from our pets and pest control person recommended this product. I had tried every possible homemade remedy up until this point. When I say serious I mean it. Sometimes I would count almost of 10 or more of them on my feet and socks as I walked through the house. It was so bad our pets were afraid to come inside and my feet were covered in bites. The situation was out of control. After finding out about this product I ordered it immediately. After it arrived, I picked everything off the floor, vacuumed the house and emptied the bag into the trash outside, then washed all the sheets, and blankets, and whatever else fleas could live on. Once we were good, I opened all of the windows, sprayed every inch of floor from about three feet away, including furniture, and got the heck out of the house. After about 4 hours, we returned. There was still a residual odor, but it wasn't intolerable. Next thing I did was mop any surfaces that were not carpeted. While it probably wasn't necessary to spray those areas, I wanted to be sure there would be no escape. We also put some Nextstar on the pets. From the moment we came back not a single flea in sight. Haven't seen any in the house since. Finally our pets are feeling a bit safer in that they are less afraid to walk across the carpets instead of retreating to higher ground as if the floor is made of lava. My only recommendations are to use this product during dry days and when you have good ventilation. It would also be best if you wait at least 6 to 8 hours instead of 4 to 5 to ensure the odor completely dissipates. To be fair, the smell wasn't intolerable but slightly noticeable after only 4 hours. At any rate, I recommend this product. It has worked well for me twice in a row. One treatment will last months, so you should be good.

I recently adopted two kittens who were infested with fleas. They were too young for any type of preventative, so daily dawn baths were all I could do for them to kill the fleas. Of course, this meant fleas were introduced to my home and I knew that although I was doing my best to prevent an infestation or at least minimize it as much as possible, I would need to treat the house as soon as they were old enough to use prevention. The time has come. I bought this after researching several products. I was worried about treating the house with chemicals as I have a 6-year-old, 3 cats, and a dog. However, I also wanted something that would actually work. After 10 years of working as a vet assistant, if there’s one thing I learned about home treatment, it’s that the green and natural crap just doesn’t cut it. I chose Precor because of its good reviews for being effective, virtually no reports of making pets or children sick, ease of application, and finally, an affordable price. I read the directions thoroughly. I cleared my floors as much as possible and vacuumed before application. I started with just one room so I could keep all the pets out of it while it dried. I shook the can well, then as instructed, held it upside down about 3 feet from the flor and in a sweeping motion, misted every square foot of carpet. It took less than 20 seconds to cover the room. It was dry within an hour, but I let it sit undisturbed until the next morning just in case. The following day, I did another bedroom. Then over night, the living room, dining room, and hallway while the pets were in the first room I completed the day before. So far, I am pleased with the product. It’s very easy to use. Takes virtually no time. There is no odor or smell, however after doing the living room/dining room my husband and I did feel a burn in our throats even though we were in our room with the door closed. We turned off the central air to keep it from circulating through the vents and that seemed to help. None of my animals were affected, neither was our child. I can’t attest to the efficacy as it has not been long, nor did we have an infestation by any means. I was merely using this as prevention of an infestation. My reason for 4 stars vs 5: this is supposed to cover 2000 feet. We have a 1200 sqft house. I barely made this can finish the dining room and there was definitely not enough to even consider doing my daughters room. I was also very careful not to overdo any of the rooms, so I’m confident it was not user error.

Ok, so I have never had fleas in my life. I have two cats, indoor cats and somehow managed to get fleas. I was devastated. I have a strong dislike for bugs. I found out that I had them when one landed on me while sitting on my couch. I was mortified. I immediately googled fleas. I went to Walmart and bought some "natural" flea spray and sprayed my cats and furniture.....first waste. I then gave my cats a flea bath thinking that would cure the problem......nope. Still had fleas. In the meantime, not knowing, flea eggs were being dispursed throughout my home quickly. I had no clue about the eggs or how many could be lurking. Each day that went by with fleas meant more eggs. I did some thorough research. Here are the things you need to know. You can get rid of the adult fleas fairly easy, but that is only the beginning of the battle. You need to battle the eggs that are hidden throughout your home. They hatch and create more fleas which then create more eggs, its an endless battle. So I got some flea medicine to kill the fleas on my cats, once the adult fleas are gone, they cannot reproduce so therefore no more eggs. I then sprayed the crap out of my yard, with and IGR and put down some granules, well not some but a ton. Now it was time to work on the inside. I religiously vacummed twice daily, moving ALL my furniture, getting in the cracks, baseboards, flipping my matresses....anything that could be vacummed was done. I washed at least 100 loads of laundry, if it was material and it was washable, in the washing machine it went. I put down plates of dawn dishsoap to see where I was getting most of the fleas and focused on those areas heavily. Low and behold, for like a month and a half I had fleas in the plates. I did everything I could think of, raid, black flag, adams............not sure if they worked but I still had eggs hatching. I cried and cried. I didnt have fleas as bad as some who say they were getting bit..........I would have moved out. But I did have them in my carpet. So, I did more research. I decided to use this Precor stuff, as I was desperate to find a solution. I bought three cans, sprayed everything. It has a light smell, but enough to know you sprayed. I only have a 789 sq ft house and used three cans, it doesnt go quite as far as it states, but to be fair I did more than a light mist. Now I waited...........damn if I didnt still have fleas in my dishes. I forgot to mention that I combed my cats twice daily and was finding one to two fleas on them for a good 3 weeks. Little fleas, meaning they just hatched. So two weeks went by, instead of the spray can, I purchased the Precor concentrate and used a garden sprayer. I got more bang for my buck and it was easier to spray in cracks and with the overall application. I saturated my perimeter walls, cracks and anywhere my cats do not go, like closets, etc. I then sprayed my carpet until it was wet but not soaking and let it dry before letting the cats in. I sprayed my furniture too. It does not leave a film and did not ruin my furniture. It has been a week.........no fleas. None on the cats and none in the dishes. Im being optimistically cautious, I still groom the cats and keep the plates in place. You can get rid of live fleas..........its the eggs that are the difficult part. And it takes more than one application, so if you buy this with the hopes it works immediately and need only one spray, you will be disappointed. Vacumm, groom, treat your pets, then spray an IGR. This worked for me, the Adams Black flag and Raid did not. It takes time and dedication to get rid of these annoying bugs.

I have 3 indoor cats, but plenty of strays that I feed on my porch. Only one flea needs to get in and that's typically what happens here. First you have to understand the life cycle of the flea. If you comb your cats when they have fleas, you may not see the eggs, but most of the eggs fall off into their bedding. It's impossible to keep up with because cats' bed literally everywhere. This is why my system works. But I get fleas every year and it's been a struggle until I found this spray. Like I said, when you comb your cats, you'll see fleas, of course, but also flea dirt. What this is - is blood meal. Adults eat blood off your cat, then they lay eggs which can be killed with Precor. Then they turn into Larvae. These are little worms that you can see on the comb. They are invisible to the eye until they feed. They feed on blood like open wounds when your animal scratches off scabs from adult flea bites. They also eat the feces of adult fleas which is just dried blood (Flea Dirt). Next, they go into a Cocoon stage. This stage is the real problem even though it only contains 10% of a flea infestation. Once in the Cocoon stage, they can't be killed by anything basically. So, the only way to rid your home of them is by vacuuming. This stage can last 3 to 6 months. Be aware of this. Keep vacuuming everything in your house when you vacuum to rid your house of these things because when they come out of that cocoon, even if only a few survive, they will be adults and can feed and lay eggs. They lay 50 eggs a day, so when you think you've gotten them all, you might slack off on vacuuming everything. Leave one or 2 of these cocoons around and you'll be at it again in a few months. Here's my system. Get Capstar pills and Precor 2000. Give a Capstar pill to your animal. About an hour after that, begin vacuuming your house. Get it really good to get as many eggs as possible and vacuum your house really good. Wash and change all your bedding and cat bedding. Use HOT, Soapy Water. When your bed is down to the mattress, spray the mattress and behind the bed board if it's against a wall. Close your bedroom door to keep the animals out for about 3 hours. Then put your animals in the bedroom for about 3 hours while you've sprayed the rest of the house. Give a Capstar pill to your pet every other day. I have 3 cats, so a 12 CT worked fine for me. Vacuum your house every day for a week if you can. Spray it all one more time with Precor 2000. But remember 2 things: You MUST kill the fleas on your animal first. Also remember the time period of the cocoons. Once these buggers are gone, they aren't really gone. Keep vacuuming everything once a week or so to get them ALL!

Many of you have stated how strong it is and how you had to ventilate the room for hours. Rather confusing since I had zero smell and used two cans at one time. I hope I don’t have sugar water that seems to be said in a few reviews here. Definitely hope I didn’t have two bad cans for the price of this and nowhere else to purchase it. I will update once I can see the performance of it. Highly skeptical. Currently rating three stars due to the amount of coverage it was able to reach. Update-12/21 it does work well at breaking the life cycle and getting rid of the adult fleas in time. However I don’t think the IGR is strong enough because it has not stopped fleas from emerging continuously. I don’t know what else to use so I have consistently used this. I just am unsure if this is really going to end it for good or not as my cats are still getting them on them in waves and some times worse than others. Been using this product for three months. I also cannot bathe my cats it’s impossible. I suggest using vets best flea and tick bath foam on your animal in between the topical treatments consistently. Stops the itching immediately and works well.

This stuff is fantastic. I sprayed the room ONCE, and no more fleas. I did have to air the room out for like two or three days, the smell was very strong and it didn't quite seem to "dry" off the wood floors. There is an oily looking residue that takes a while to evaporate off the floor, possibly petroleum based? Even after it "airs out", I DO NOT recommend you let your animals walk around this stuff or breathe it in despite what the instructions say. I rubbed my finger on my wood floor to see if the oily substance was dry or still wet and it was like a very light mist of oil was still there in certain spots. Most of the floor was dry looking or had that dull dry look to it, but not all. I didn't soak the floor either and I left the window open for about three days before it full aired out. It will eventually evaporate, but it takes days. And we definitely had to mop the floor before letting our animals walk around in it. Our animals tend to lay down on the floor and then jump up on our laps and give us hugs and kisses. So any poisons they pick up on their feet not only puts them at risk of being contaminated with carcinogens, but the humans as well. Our animals also sometimes sleep on our bed. So mop the floors and wash your carpets before letting your animals and kids walk on this stuff. This is definitely professional level flea killer and I wouldn't risk letting anyone get it on themselves or breathing it in. And yes, again, I sprayed once and it killed all of the fleas. We had previously tried the Raid fumigator (blue box with three canisters inside) and fogged the room like three times with not much of a result. The fleas were embedded in our wood floors and the crevices. They would jump on our legs so we'd wear white socks with flipflops and roll up our pants around the house, and leave dishpans full of a mixture of water, dishwashing soap, and apple cider vinegar on two sides of the infested room. We would grab them off the socks then put them in these dishpans. They would eventually drown. I read somewhere fleas take 48 hours to drown so keep that in mind. Also, when dumping this water out, dump it in the toilet and flush. If you dump it in your sink, the fleas will start jumping out while you sleep.
