Tekko Trio IGR Concentrate

Tekko Trio IGR Concentrate, manufactured by Control Solutions, is a professional insect growth regulator comprised of 3 active ingredients (hydroprene, pyriproxyfen, and novaluron). These three IGRs with distinct modes of action combine to make a powerfully effective super IGR that disrupts insect development and reproduction of eggs.

Tekko Trio's formula is volatile and can easily move through voids, cracks, and crevices where pests, such as cockroaches, flies, and stored product pests, are present. When treated with Tekko Trio, the Novaluron in the product disrupts the development of chitin, which stops immature insects from properly forming their exoskeleton, resulting in eventual death. Hydroprene and Pyriproxyfen are juvenile hormone mimics, further stopping the affected insects from growing into reproductive adults.

Tekko Trio's IGR concentrate effectively halts reproductive cycles against bed bugs, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and many other common problem pests. For cockroaches, Tekko Trio has the ability to stop reinfestation for up to 180 days.

Tekko Trio can be applied in indoor cracks and crevices, spot applications, and void applications, making it ideal for controlling infestations in commercial kitchens, bars, drains, and dishwashers.

Tools Needed

To use Tekko Trio, you will need to mix the concentrate into a handpump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or hose-end sprayer, depending on the size of the treatment area and the target pest you are looking to treat.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Tekko Trio will be needed for your target pest and treatment area by calculating the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, you will need to measure the treatment areas' length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Depending on the pest you are treating, Tekko Trio can be mixed at a rate of 0.5 to 1 fl. oz. per gallon to cover between 1,000 to 1,500 sq. ft. So, for example, to treat cockroaches indoors, you would need to mix 1 fl. oz. of Tekko Trio per gallon of water to treat 1,000 sq. ft. To treat flying insects, the rate is 0.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water per 1,500 sq. ft. or 1,000 linear feet for cracks and crevices.
• Step 2: Tekko Trio is best applied in combination with an adulticide. When tank mixing with an adulticide, first add the adulticide to a sprayer with the appropriate amount of water, following the adulticide's specific mixing directions, and agitate until well mixed. Then, add the correct amount of Tekko Trio and agitate again until you have a properly mixed solution.
• Step 3: Spray the finished Tekko Trio mixture on the selected treatment site. Indoors, treatment should be limited to cracks and crevices, under appliances, voids (via foam injection), and general surfaces. Repeat treatment every 6 months or as needed, but not more than every 21 days. For bed bugs, retreat every 14 days.
