Does this do okay for flea control? I know it's not the exact right kind for fleas, but since I already ordered it, will it at least kill the fleas?

It does flea control eventually by the process of elimination. The nematodes find and destroy flea larva. You will not see immediate relief. I use Capstar for immediate relief and the usual washing of all bedding and heavy vacuuming if the infestation is in the house. The nematode application is for long term results. They also go after the grubs and other soil bound pests, but again, it is a slow long term approach. I also treat grass with food grade DE (diatomaceous earth, reapplying after each rain.

Yes! We used this when my cat got out, contracted fleas, and infested my house! I sprayed everything with the stuff! Even furniture and left the house for a few hours. You have to be patient though. Once the fleas land on an area that has been sprayed they may not die right away but they will within hours. You'll start seeing dead fleas everywhere and/or dying fleas. Took about a month after spraying to finally see no fleas at all. Treat your pets too!! They are the hubs! Hope this helps :)

I would. If you had a major flea infestation they may still be lurking. This is the best thing for killing fleas I have found. We had a major problem after a "playdate" from another cat. We tried almost everything including bombs and couldn't get rid of them. Then we found this. Within 24 hours of using this....they were gone and things were back to normal and we had happy pets!

I don't use this product for fleas but I do use it for rat mites, and it works, so I would assume that it works on fleas also. I know that it must be sprayed on them directly and it causes them to molt early and not lay eggs. They say it is not toxic and not harmful to people and pets. I have never had a problem with it. hope that helps...

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

It only kills fleas. The package states "For treatment of flea infestations on dogs." It's commonly used by Vets when they have to see a dog that is full of fleas, as it kills most fleas within 30 minutes and the rest within 4 hours. I use a monthly flea treatment and only use Capstar when my dog has "playtime" with some dogs, whose owners don't use flea meds. My pet comes home with 30 or so fleas each time and this kills them right away. Fleas make my dog miserable, so this product works great. I still flea comb him as Capstar may leave a flea or two alive.

The gnats love it! Not one flea tho.........really disappointing because I bought it to trap fleas. I think gnats are drawn to the light above the trap. I also notice tiny moths in the trap.....Hope this helps.

No this product only kills fleas for 24 hours. It's a good fix if a pet is infested and then follow up with a flea treament like comfortis, frontline, advantage that lasts for a whole month.

To me and Rocky it definitely kills FLEAS, and everything else dealing with fleas,(!), I gave it to him with Alpo t-bone dog food, ( fancy it up to let them know everything is good,their good,and your going to make all better.) We don't have ticks where I live and I don't take him where ticks are bec of(underline) diseases. And he has short hair. He didn't have any problems with the medication, so I suggest using, however, TOTALLY WATCH ANIMAL FOR POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. With animal luv, Connie and Rocky Stephenson cm42013@gmail.com

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.

It appears to be obnoxious to fleas. It is not a "cure", but if you've got dogs around, it's a harmless way of deterring the little parasites.

Yes. I actually purchased it originally to use when I lived in Hawaii, where the fleas had developed immunity to the poisons usually used to control them. The only thing that kept our property - indoors and out - under control was Precor. I will continue to use it outdoors when appropriate, though do consider what other insects you might be affecting in the area you're treating. If you want butterflies, for instance, don't treat near the garden that feeds them!

That's what the label says! I got it to put on our cat for fleas and since he is constantly cleaning himself I wanted to be sure. However, the flea problem was too bad and we resorted to vet treatments... but I still use it on carpets and am glad it's food grade.

It's great for Fleas, But I really don't know about Bed bugs! Sorry! Please don't let your dog lick it off. arf arf:)

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!

I'd imagine that if you can see the fleas this should kill them on contact. This is the only thing that works. I needed it for carpet. Fleas kept cycling. This the only thing that works.
