Zoecon Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray, 16 oz.

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.

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.

My family had a very bad flea infestation indoors that started some time in 2021. I was away for college for the worst part of it, and eventually, they had to call an exterminator, but like most cases the fleas came back. By the time I moved back home(summer 2022) the fleas were only noticeable to me because I'm guessing my family developed a tolerance for flea bites. So, as I was the only one affected by them now, I started cleaning religiously to get rid of them. I was stupid and for months tried different flea products from walmart but nothing was working. After some research, I chose this product to help me get rid of those little b**ches. It wasn't that big of an infestation this second time because we no longer had furry animals, but I, in my heart, believe they were feeding and surviving off of my family and me. I recommend (I'm pretty sure the instructions say this too) to spray about every 10 days, and make sure you deep clean the areas you will be spraying before you actually start. My family lives in an old trailer home with about 80% wood floors and the rest is carpet. The problem with this product on wood floors is that it does leave a semi sticky film on top that never seemed to dry or go away, so after about a week you get dust and dirt stuck to your floors where you sprayed (you can see this in the pictures sort of). This happens much faster in areas we always walk through like the hallways, so the spray becomes ineffective. The fleas were also only appearing is areas that had wood floors. This was dealt with weekly-ish mopping and spraying, but because my family and I are busy, I did miss a couple weeks at a time. I first used this product in April and it is now mid July. It has been about 3 weeks since I last got bit but it was by a straggler that was slow and jumping funny. This last spray I did today was for good measure. Lastly, please be safe and follow the instructions. Make sure not to make contact with this stuff. I accidentally got some on my finger tips once and it tingled/made my finger tips numb but I washed immediately, so I'm okay. I honestly wouldn't feel safe with this stuff around animals with the spray on wood floors(like I said, it never seemed to dry). But, carpet should be fine. I've treated the carpeted rooms like 3 times just in case, but we never saw fleas or got bit in there, so I'm also taking that as a good sign. Overall, good product, just make sure you stay on top of things to make it work faster and better.

My cat brought in some fleas and I was spraying them with everything. They seemed impervious to everything. Not this stuff. Sprayed it around the floors and that was it, they were gone. What a relief. Some reviewers have said it doesn't spray well but as long as I held the can upside down and shook a little while I was spraying it worked fine. I recommend the product.

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!

So, I read a lot of reviews on a million different things before I finally decided to purchase this. Here was my situation: I have 2 dogs and use flea preventatives here and there, never with any problems, even though we live in a wooded area. Well every few months I might see a flea in the house, but that's no big deal. Well a few weeks ago I saw one on me, thought no big deal. Next day like 3-5 on me, and I thought that was weird. 2 days later or so they were eating us alive! We tried the stuff in the purple can from walmart 2 different times, slowed them down, but they were back in full force within a few days. It got so bad (especially in our bedroom), I would literally run through the bedroom and still find 10 crawling on me after being in the room for less than 10 seconds. So I waited for the Precor, and not very patiently. Our house is about 1400 sq ft and we had no problem covering the entire house and furniture, and we still have some left. We vacuumed and sprayed, moved furniture, sprayed absolutely every single spot we could, even on the vinyl floors just to be sure. I did combine this with a frontline application for the dogs though. Next day they were absolutely GONE. Now all this took place Friday night and this is Tuesday. I've found like 5 dead fleas in our bed (our dog sleeps with us) and I'm assuming that any fleas are feeding off the dogs and it's killing them. I have not seen one live flea since Friday. Can I say thank goodness for RELIEF?! This stuff is totally worth keeping an extra can around, it's amazing! But if they come back any time soon I will surely be updating this review. If I don't review again, this stuff solved our problem for good! I'll be keeping this and frontline on hand from now on!! UPDATE: Fleas are back!! :( Not too bad yet, so I'm giving this another shot. It says a 2nd treatment may be necessary. Worked great right after we sprayed, so I'm not giving up hope yet. Will be doing the 2nd treatment tomorrow. It says to vacuum every 2 days after treatment and that it's very important. Well, we missed that part so it may just be our fault. Will update once more after 2nd treatment is done and we know whether or not it worked.

This stuff works! I tried everything my hardware store recommended to no avail. The flea count did come down somewhat but came back. After using the Zoecon products the problem was solved.
