Some reviews say it doesn't work well on fleas. Does anyone feel that it works well on fleas? I would need it for outdoor use.

It works well on fleas if they come in contact with the sprayed moisture. I tested by capturing three fleas, putting them in a glass jar, and spraying a light mist into the jar. All 3 fleas died instantly on contact. The challenge is making sure they come in contact with the solution before it dries. I don't know if the dried solution will kill them.

I have used it yo repel fleas and ticks for two years and it works great. I haven't actually had a dog with fleas that I have used it on. So I can't say it 100% kills them, but it foes repel

Did you ever find any answers about this? I am having trouble finding any information about using this for cats, whether topically or orally. I finally tried some on one of my big (about 12 pounds) cats yesterday. I rubbed about 2 millimeters of the paste between her shoulder blades. She was covered in fleas, and honestly I don't see any today. She showed no ill symptoms, but I am a little concerned about long term effects.

I bought it for fleas for my dogs. Have been using it for 2 weeks with bad results. Still have fleas.

I bought it for fleas on my dog and have put it directly on her with no problems. A friend of mine's husband used it in the Amazon and she said he was the only person on that trip not eaten alive by bugs - if you want more info you can go to everythingessential.me and look it up for all its uses, etc.

It's not made for application on dogs or cats. The bottle lists fleas. My experience with this product would suggests it's for outdoor flying bugs only and even with them you must use a lot and often.

I have a cat who spends a majority of his time outdoors, so I tried it on him first. It's supposed to stop working this month and still no signs of fleas or ticks. I'd say it started working within a week but likely much sooner.

It's waterproof and works great on mosquitoes and sand gnats (very important in coastal areas). But I don't know if it's preventing flea bites or if we're just lucky in avoiding them otherwise.

I have only been using it for one month, but it seems to have worked just as well. No issues with fleas or anything else. I would say its hard to know so far, but coming up on our second application, all seems well. Hope that helps!

I bought it to ward off mice, and it definitely works for that. I don't have a problem with fleas, though, so I wouldn't know. Sorry.

I live in Western NY and walk my dog in a brush-filled area and near a pond (my dog is a chi/terrier mix). So far after two years on this (six months each year) he has not gotten any fleas. Since he's never had fleas I don't know about killing them, but it appears as though this works to prevent them. To be completely sure you might want to call your vet and make sure this brand works on the fleas in your region.

I personally wouldn't. I'm sure it would kill the fleas, it seems to kill everything... but for it to be effective it would have to be applied all over the place. I have only applied it to the perimeter of my basement and the outside of my home. I wouldn't feel comfortable spraying this all over my house... That's just me though...

I don't spray my counters etc. I usually just spray the flooring, around the windows and exterior doors. My pets have walked on the carpeting almost immediately and I have seen no ill effects from that. Hope this works for you! I sprayed twice so far this year, only because the carpeting was cleaned about a month after I initially sprayed. No fleas. And the best is that I have NOT used any flea treatments on 3 cats and a dog. The dog and 2 of the cats go outside everyday, and either we aren't having a bad flea season which is really hard to believe, or if they have any, whatever is residual in the house, is killing the insects. I love this product. Good luck at your house with it!

Yes, the product worked well for us. We used outside. A neighbor had a great Dane infestation. it took a couple of times.

I hear some flea populations can be more fierce than others. But here in southern California, I put this on a stray cat that adopted me as she wanted to come in my house. She's been using it for two months, and I only find a few fleas here and there. Perhaps two a week - she is still outdoors everyday. You might give it a try! :) You're a kind soul!

you could use it on grass as it kills fleas,ticks,ants,spiders. I have used this product for over 20 years. Once it dries to a tan looking powder it is safe for pets. I spray inside the house & outside. It also has no odor to it at all. Hope this helps you, do not forget the sprayer.

Sorry Joe, I only used this in my house. For out in the yard (almost an acre) I ordered some chemicals from another online site. Just Google fleas in yard. I sprayed the yard with a pump sprayer.
