Home Household Spray for Dogs 24 oz 02843

Works wonders. Just as directed and has a pretty pleasant smell, too.

The good news: This stuff really works! For my full story of how I used it, read on. The caveat: You need to be prepared to put the work in. Fleas are resilient, and you can't just apply once and expect that they will disappear. You need to: 1. Bathe your animal if you have one, daily (at least at first) 2. Launder EVERYT HING in your home. 3. Identify where the fleas are coming from, and track their progress over time with candle traps 4. Apply poison liberally 5. REPEAT. Seriously, repeat. This stuff is no joke. The smell that everyone is raving about is to cover up the scent of the poison you're applying. Look up the active ingredients -- they can cause serious health effects, so don't breathe this stuff in. I experienced burning in my lungs the first day I applied it, then learned to cover my mouth with a towel, and vacate the space until it was dry. I may have gone a bit overboard with applying... but I had a Serious Infestation. I have no regrets. How I got rid of fleas: I discovered fleas on my dog on Wednesday night. I immediately gave him a bath and vacuumed everything. This was my first time with fleas, and if it's yours, these should Always be your first two steps. Then, I looked online for reviews, and ended up buying this product, along with the Home Household Spray, and the Carpet Powder from the same company. It said it would take two days to arrive, so in the meantime, I went and bought another product locally for outside. The next morning I vacuumed again, sprayed outside, and laundered every piece of laundry, textile and fabric in my home. A friend told me to put down shallow dishes full of soap water, with candles in the middle, all over the floor. The fleas are attracted to the heat and light, and will drown in the shallow water. She said to put them everywhere, as many empty dishes as I had. This was the KEY to tracking where the fleas were coming from. I put them near areas where my dog spent time, but was surprised to find out that those areas did not have many fleas. Instead, there were more fleas near a utility closet in my kitchen. As I continued to move the dishes closer to that closet (every few hours), I found more and more fleas in that particular area. Eventually, I moved the dishes into the closet, and that's when I found hundreds, if not thousands of fleas. I rent, and the closet was previously infested with rats (I know, I'm disgusted too). A friend who is a Entomologist told me that flea eggs could have gotten in from the rats, then lay dormant for months. Now it was warm out again, and they were hatching. I immediately deep cleaned the closet as thousands of fleas attacked me (pro tip: wear long pants, sleeves, gloves, a hair covering, a face covering, anything to protect yourself), removed the old carpet inside, and vacuumed every crevice. Once I had done that, I sprayed it with the Home and Carpet Spray on every surface (spray underneath, on top, in the corners, etc), then once that dried, I used the Carpet Powder on the floor, so I could see where the fleas were and, the next time I vacuumed, I could see any areas I missed. Now, every morning, I wake up, vacuum my entire apartment, vacuum the closet, and reapply the poison. Then I leave dishes with candles in the closet all day and all night (I use tall church candles that have less of a risk of catching fire to anything, and the closet is empty), to track how many fleas there are. There has been a significant improvement after 3 days. However, I'm going to keep doing this process for at least two weeks. Read up about breaking the life cycle of fleas -- they can come back if you let down your guard. I will be ready.

Works well and does not smell to bad but it takes a little while to actually kill the fleas. Started seeing results in a little over two days.

Product helps kill fleas/ticks in couches and rugs. It helps with items you can’t wash. Smells nice

I bought this after noticing some fleas in the house, and it’s been pretty effective. The spray is easy to use, and it doesn’t have an overwhelming chemical smell like some other flea treatments. I used it on carpets, furniture, and a few pet areas (but not directly on my pets, since it’s meant for surfaces), and after a couple of days, I started seeing fewer fleas. It does take a little time to work, so don’t expect instant results. You’ll probably need to reapply in problem areas, especially if you’re dealing with a bigger infestation. It also helps to vacuum regularly to get rid of any lingering eggs. Overall, this is a solid flea treatment for the home. It’s not a miracle spray, but if you use it consistently along with other flea prevention methods, it definitely makes a difference.
