Why Archer?

Archer IGR is a revolutionary new Insect Growth Regulator that interrupts or inhibits the life cycle of most insect pests. Some people call it "birth control for fleas" or "birth control for roaches." If an animal cannot reach adulthood, it is not capable of reproducing. By stopping the maturity of an insect, we keep it from reaching the critical adult stage, thus stopping the life cycle and infestation. It is also photostable, meaning that it does not break down easily in direct sunlight. You can use Archer IGR to control insect populations both indoors and outdoors. The Archer IGR unique mode of action disrupts the life cycle of ants, fleas, flies, ticks, cockroaches, mosquitoes and beetles leading to effective population control of any and all of these insects.

Target Pests:
Fleas, ants, cockroaches, ticks, crickets, mosquitoes, litter beetles and other flying insect pests.

Archer is strictly a Pest Control Operator product and is not typically available on store shelves. . .

Does my pet have fleas?

* If you have seen one flea on your dog, he has fleas. In almost all cases, there are many more fleas unseen than seen.

* You can check for flea dirt, which is actually tiny specks of dried blood left by fleas when they bite your pet. Comb through your pet's coat onto a wet piece of paper towel. If the specks falling onto the paper turn red, your pet has fleas!

Life cycle of the flea

* Fleas pass through a complete life cycle of four stages.

* The flea population is typically made up of 50% eggs, 30% larvae, 15% pupae and only 5% biting adults.

* Completion of the life cycle from egg to adult varies from two weeks to eight months.

* Normally the female flea lays about 15 to 20 eggs per day up to 600 in a lifetime.

flea allergies

* Flea allergy dermatitis, or FAD, is the most common allergic skin disorder in pets.

* Fleas bite and suck blood from a host to feed themselves in the same way that a mosquito does.

* Unlike a mosquito, who eats once and goes off to digest its meal, fleas continue to bite a host animal long after their hunger is satisfied.

the best insecticide

* Conquer is a new Residual Insecticide Concentrate that is actually approved for use in the food areas of schools and hospitals.

* Any insectide will do, since the most important point is to get the Archer down and break the life cycle of the insect, and if you have something left over in your garage or utility room, use it rather than put it in our dumps, but if you don't have one, go the safe way and get Conquer for the last time that you will ever use an insecticide!
