Pivot 10 IGR Insect Growth Regulator

Pivot 10 IGR Concentrate, manufactured by Control Solutions Inc., is a specially formulated insect growth regulator concentrate effective on many tough pests, including fleas and mosquitoes.

It is formulated with the powerful active ingredient Pyriproxyfen 10.00%, which delivers residual efficacy for up to 7 months. Once applied, pests such as fleas and cockroaches will be unable to reproduce, leading to a lower rate of reinfestation. 

Pivot 10 IGR is similar to Gentrol IGR and Precor IGR but is photo-stable and lasts longer. Dilute with water and spray in areas where pests are active to control the population via sterilizing adults and preventing larvae and eggs from developing.

Tools Needed

You will need a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, hose-end sprayer, foam applicator, or professional skid sprayer for large-volume applications. You will also need ULV/fogging systems for use as a ULV or space spray. For residential use, we recommend using either a 1-gallon handheld pump sprayer or a hose-end sprayer, depending on the coverage area you are treating. 

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Pivot 10 IGR Concentrate you will need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. You can do this by measuring the length and width of the treatment area in feet and multiplying them together (length x width = square footage). Pivot 10 IGR application rates can vary from either 4mL, 8 mL, or 12mL in one gallon of water per 1,500 sq. ft. It is recommended to use a higher rate of 12 mL per 1,500 sq. ft. for established infestations. For example, if you calculated an area of 3,000 sq. ft., you would need to mix 24 mL of Pivot 10 in 2 gallons of water. 
• Step 2: Fill a handheld pump sprayer halfway with water and mix the appropriate amount of Pivot 10 IGR into it. Fill the sprayer the rest of the way with water and agitate until the solution is well mixed.
• Step 3: Apply a light mist of the product indoors around the carpeted area and wherever conditions could support insect populations. Use a fan spray pattern for the best coverage. Outdoors, Pivot 10 may be applied as a general surface spray. Treat all known breeding sites thoroughly (building walls, porches, decks, patios, carports, garages, stagnant water, shady and moist areas, fence lines, and tall grasses.

Where to Use

Pivot 10 IGR Concentrate can be used for residential indoor/outdoor treatment, ULV/fogging or foaming in school, and food handling applications. Pivot 10 IGR can be used in commercial residential and agricultural settings, including but not limited to warehouses, manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, industrial buildings, transportation equipment, automobiles, restaurants, food processing plants, food warehouses, grocery stores, supermarkets, schools, offices, apartments, motels, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, daycare facilities, farms, etc.

When to Use

Use whenever you are dealing with an infestation of fleas, roaches, and certain beetles or as a preventative measure. Apply on calm, cool days when wind speeds are low to minimize drift and when rain is not in the immediate forecast.

Safety Information

Pivot 10 IGR Concentrate is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying this product. 

Do not allow children or pets to contact treated surfaces until the spray has thoroughly dried.

Special Considerations

Store Pivot 10 IGR Concentrate in a temperature-stable environment for longer-lasting results. Pivot 10 is not a contact kill; it prevents insects from reproducing. For faster results, mix Pivot 10 with an adulticide to simultaneously target adult and younger-staged pests.
