It should kill them on contact or within minutes. If you have an infestation you will need to spray your plants every 5 days. Do that 3 times. Three sprays in 15 days. Make sure to spray under the leaves as well. You will have to break the life cycle of the pest which is typically 5-7 days.

I don't know the exact answer to that, but our vet told us that any flea medicine can take up to 3 months. This is because of the life cycle of fleas. If you kill adults, they may have already laid eggs which cannot be killed until the eggs hatch, etc.

It is immediate. If you have a noticeable infestation you will literally see the fleas falling and dying as you spray it.

All I can say is it worked on a 60 pound mix breed and my 85 pound mix. They will die off...the fleas ..I n 20-30ish minutes then its bath time to remove the debris and carcasses lol. Always good to flea bomb your house after if possible let. Good luck

I'm not sure but I think I allowed it to dry for an hour or so before letting the animals back in the house. The instructions say not to let humans or pets come in contact with treated surface until it has dried. I put the animals on the screened porch while I treated and it dried. The instructions on the can are very specific and I think that if you follow the directions that you won't have any problem. This is one product that really works. We love it. The can says that it prevents re-infestation of fleas for 7 months but it's been longer than that since I used it and I still find dead flies, ants etc. on the floor.

Dottie...the labels says it kills and repels ants beetles (non specified) centipedes cockroaches crickets earwigs fleas millipedes pantry pests pill bugs silverfish spiders sow bugs ticks and other crawling insect pests. I'd say give a bottle a shot, try to spray it on the beetle itself and the affected areas.

I've only used it on flying insects (wasps, mostly.) It is practically instantaneous with them. My guess is it's worth the try with fleas-you'll know quickly if it works or not, and if not, you'll have it around for other pests when needed.

you vacuumed it up. It isn't like pesticide where you spray and they die. I would suggest leaving it for 3 days and then I'd vacuum it.

Nematodes are live creatures. I agree with J. Deloach, wait 30 days after the insecticide was sprayed, otherwise you just kill them off.

They claim 1-3 months, mine lasted more about 3 months...Once they started dying the ants would bury the dead in the corner or bring them up to the top! Pretty cool!

The lifecycle looks like this: egg 3 days--larvae 14 days--adult 7-10 days--egg 3 days, etc. So if this is just killing the larvae, it should take around 7 - 10 days for the adults to die. Make sure you keep treating at least once a week for the next few weeks to keep more adults from emerging.

the fleas die usually within seconds of spraying the animal, I also spray my dog if she is going to be outside and I know it is flea season so usually the do not jump on her

It depends on what kind of bugs you are catching. When I had the fly infestation in my crawl space (dead animal) It was every day plus I had fly paper from the hardware store hanging next to the trap. It only took about 3-4 days to get rid of all the flies after the dead animal was removed. I still leave the light hanging in the crawl space to catch gnats. I have one in the kitchen to catch fruit flies, mosquitoes etc. I probably change it once a week, not because it's full, but because it's disgusting to see dead bugs on the paper. Needless to say, after the fly incident, I bought extra refills. Bugs are definitely attracted to the light. Hope my opinion helps. It depends on what kind of bugs you are catching.

It is possible since it states does kill some types of beetles although I personally doubt it being that it didn't really work for the bugs I was trying to get rid of and those bugs were listed on the box. Ive had a beetle issue prior to this current problem and I had to go to Lowes and Home Depot to get stuff strong enough to wipe them out and keep them from returning with one treatment. Good luck those critters I hope for you they do work.

I know it kills fleas within seconds. might be the same for ticks. We do not have ticks here

I have not seen it kill any beetles, nor seen any dead ones around it, so I'm not sure. It does make quite a noticeable zap noise. I think they all do depending on the size of the bug.

Since you have to spray it directly on the bedbugs, it will depend on 1) how many bedbugs there are, 2) how actively you search out and spray the bedbugs. Since bedbugs go from egg to larva to bug, you will likely only be seeing and spraying the adults. It will take you some time, 4 weeks, may be more . Best thing is to keep on them. Spray the bugs directly, not the room, the bugs.
