Product Overview

Pivot IGR concentrate is a long-lasting residual insect growth regulator (IGR) that can last for up to seven months. The active ingredient, Pyriproxyfen, imitates a juvenile hormone that keeps larvae from advancing to adult stages of development resulting in an inability for the insects to reproduce. Pivot IGR is a versatile insecticide for effective long term control of Fleas, Roaches, Flies, Mosquitoes, Gnats, Crickets, Litter Beetles and Ants and is photostable for up to 14 days. Pivot IGR may be used in many outdoor and indoor applications, including food handling areas (see label for complete list). Pivot IGR may also be used in fogging or ULV applications.

FLEA CONTROL

The active ingredient in Pivot is Pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator. Insect growth hormones are naturally occurring in insects and Pivot prevents the adult flea from developing. These properties will gradually result in the reduction and eventually elimination of the flea population. Flea eggs and flea larvae that come into contact with Pivot will also not develop into adult fleas. Pivot works for 7 months by inhibiting the development of the immature stages of the flea and preventing them from reaching the biting adult stage. Pivot does not work on adult fleas and flea pupae that already exist.

Note: If a high population of adult fleas are present, it may be necessary to use an adulticide. Pivot may also be combined with a flea adulticide.

Application of Pivot prior to the flea season will aid in reducing developing populations. Apply to areas where pets and other animals are known to frequent and where previous infestations have been known to occur to prevent the emergence of adult fleas and also control stages of fleas that don’t resemble fleas.

INDOORS:

Mix Pivot with water and apply with spray equipment such as any low pressure sprayer used for indoor applications. Before treatment, vacuum carpets, draperies and upholstered furniture. Dispose of Vacuum bag in an outdoor trash receptacle.

Spray Mixing:

Prepare a diluted spray solution by adding 1 ounce per gallon of water. Partially fill the mixing container with water, add Pivot, agitate and fill to final volume. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight. Mix before each use.

Use With an Adulticide Insecticide:

For immediate relief of adult fleas, Pivot may be combined with an insecticide registered for adult control of fleas. This mixture will also inhibit the development of the immature stages of the flea for 7 months.

GENERAL SURFACE APPLICATION:

Apply Pivot diluted spray at the rate of 1 gallon per 1,500 square feet of surface area. Treat all areas including carpets, furniture, pet sleeping areas and throw rugs making sure to spray underneath cushions, etc.

Repeat treatment every 7 months.

IN KENNELS AND DOGHOUSES:

Pivot will control the development of preadult fleas from becoming biting and reproductive adult fleas. Make application with an adjustable hose-end sprayer, tank type sprayer or sprinkling can.

Prepare a diluted spray solution adding 1 ounce per gallon of water and apply at a rate of 1 gallon diluted solution per 1,500 square feet of surface area. Apply to building, resting areas, walls, floor, animal bedding and run areas. Remove animals before spraying and do not return animals to treated areas until spray has dried completely.

Pets and their bedding should also be treated with EPA registered flea and tick control products, flea or flea and tick collar, pet powder, pet spray, pet dip, pet shampoo, flea shampoo or flea and tick pet shampoo, in conjunction with this application as part of a complete flea control program to prevent the introduction of adult fleas.

Repeat at 7 month intervals.

OUTDOORS:

Apply Pivot dilution as a spot treatment to areas where pets normally frequent including, but not limited to under trees, ornamental plants and shrubs. Application on soil surfaces will provide 21 days of IGR activity. If large populations of adult fleas exist, treat the lawn area with an EPA registered lawn treatment product to kill adult fleas.

Spray Mixing:

To prepare a diluted spray solution, mix 1.0 ounce in 5 to 15 gallons of water, depending on equipment used, to cover 1,000 square feet. Partially filling the sprayer with water, add Pivot, agitate and fill with water to the final volume. Agitate before each spray.

Using a hose-end sprayer, tank type sprayer or sprinkling can, spray using a slow, even sweeping motion, making sure to cover surface areas where the pets normally frequent. One (1) tsp. per gallon will cover 333 square feet for spot treating pet resting areas. Repeat application in 21 days.

GERMAN, ASIAN, AND BROWN BANDED COCKROACH AND CRICKET CONTROL

One treatment works for 6 months against hatching cockroaches and crickets.

Spray Mixing: Prepare a diluted spray solution by adding 2 ounces per gallon of water.

OUTDOOR PERIMETER TREATMENTS:

Prepare a diluted spray solution by adding 2 ounces per gallon of water into any low-pressure sprayer. Apply at the rate of 1 gallon per 1,000 feet in a band 2 to 4 feet adjacent to and around the structure. Apply at a height of 2 to 3 feet on the foundation where pests may be active or may find entrance. Apply spray around window frames, doors, garage doors, patios, decks, carports, shutters, around garbage areas, sill plate and other areas where cockroaches may congregate. Repeat at 6 month intervals.

    Wicked stuff

    By Debra on 08/24/2018

    I mixed this with Talstar P and sprayed a month ago for the first time. Over the last few days I have noticed a reduced number of roaches, both adults and babies. I plan on using this mix a few more times before I go to mixing the Pivot in every 6-7 months as it says and using only Talstar P once or twice in between.

Q
Will Pivot IGR kill German roaches?

We use a professional service, but they come once a month and we continue to see the little varmints on a daily basis once the lights go out. I need something to at least supplement the pros service, which seems to be only mildly effective as they've been spraying us for over a year. Almost seems as if they don't want to get rid of them entirely as their job kinda depends on them remaining.

Pivot IGR is an insect growth regulator that inhibits the reproductive cycle of the roaches, so that they are unable to reproduce any longer.  It can be mixed with certain insecticides as per labeled instructions, but it's not a stand alone treatment.  It's recommended to check with your current pest control service to see what they are currently using so that you can be sure that the Pivot IGR can be used in conjunction with their treatment methods.  You may benefit by adding a bait gel to your current treatment regimen if they aren't currently using any.  A great one to try would be Advion Roach Bait Gel
