Would it help get rid of indoor fleas that my dog brought in?

Unless the fleas are crawling up the way, i believe the only 2 things that get rid of fleas is the right pet shampoo, and adding a little distilled vinegar to their drinking water.

It Is not recommended for indoor use. Give your dog a dose of comfortis or something. And the fleas will die feeding off your dog. Use the Tristan every 3 months and you will never see fleas. I live in Florida and I am a dog trainer. Since I have use this product I don't even use flea treatment on my dogs.

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...

We live in Florida and have been using Talstar for about 12 years. We spray in the house as well as our whole yard. It works great. We also have a brown lab and he doesn't have fleas or ticks. We highly recommend Talstar.

Nope - didn't work at all. I'm using shampoo + flea powder in the house + vacuuming very often + flea spray - working OK not perfect though

when we had our dog we used advantage on her.One time she was full of fleas and the vet said to wait the 30 days or it could make her sick. i assume it would be the same with this product as well.

It will, but you don't want to spray this everywhere. It's meant as a perimeter treatment and spot treatment for critters that somehow get in. It's scent is overwhelming if you use too much. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus, etc. If you have animals, definitely make sure they are treated, maybe borax powder?

I would not. Go to Walmart they have a natural flea spray in the pet section (has cloves in it). for $4-5 dollars, it will kill the fleas on contact. This Frontline was a waste of $60. I will never order it again, not what it was 10 years ago.

Because you need to follow the instructions, the dog need to be clean of fleas and flea eggs, which means you will need to ensure to treat the dog against fleas before, also I think that if the environment is too full of fleas it won't work either, my dog is medium size and so far it seems to be working, although, I do shampoo him (regular shampoo not against parasites) once a week, and this, maybe, also helps. As far as I understood this is against fleas and not ticks, I use a collar for ticks.

Yes. But you still need to use a flea prevention on your pet, (frontline, pet armor etc.) I sprayed aroundmy home, all the base boards, windows, doors and any cracks. I did the same on the outside as well. Fir the lawn area I used a more powerful product. But ecosmart is and makes great products.

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!

Dust lightly every cloth/carpet surface in the home, you will need an applicator also. Yes it will work down to the padding on the carpet, reapply regularly. Be sure and hit the dogs bed too or cats. Remember it is not a poison and will not immediately kill all fleas, it takes a few days for the fleas to get it on them and die. I would use a dust mask for you and keep the animals out of the home till the dust settles. You can eat it without problem, but as an asthmatic I try and watch what goes into my lungs

i only tried it for fleas. its worthless for fleas. my dog is on comfortis from the vet. great for fleas. his coat is so dense that drops dont even reach the skin.

Yes! this product DOES kill flea eggs also! Now, I will say in my experience, you may need to apply this product to the animal as well as floor, furniture, and bedding a second time in order to be sure the eggs are really treated and to catch any "sneaky" ones that may slip by. It is really very effective and economical.

It really depends what you are trying to rid your home of. For fleas, I put it in an empty carpet fresh container. (I also purchased the neem powder- this breaks the whole flea cycle).I moved the furniture away from the wall and started at the doorway and shook a steady stream in a zig zag pattern. Make sure you go away from the door towards the opposite side of the room. You can let it sit or sweep it into the carpet with a broom (this is what I did). I let it sit in the carpet for about 24 hrs. I vacuumed it up. This is also a safe way to apply to pets!! This stuff is amazing!! I use an old pepper shaker when applying to my animals, it's much easier!! It really depends what you are trying to rid your home of. For fleas, I put it in an empty carpet fresh container.

I never tried it for fleas but I imagine it could. The issue would be getting your pet to sit still for it. The buzz it makes drove my dogs crazy.

I also use the Victor flea trap inside. This thing works great. Leave it for 2-3 days in different rooms around the house (barn). I also use a DIY tobacco/garlic/orange oil tincture in a pump spray in my yard that works really well. I have to apply once a month to catch to new hatches but it also keeps down ants and other bugs with less toxic "natural" ingredients. We had a pretty bad flea infestation (4 dogs) so I've been attacking the flea war from all sides.

Sorry, Richard S., but we have no household pets and therefore cannot advise you about the effectiveness on fleas. One immediate problem we would suspect is that unless the flea-carrier is stationary within the vicinity of the unit, we believe the electromagnetic waves would not be effective.

I too checked this out. Once their coats become healthier and the garlic gets in their system, the fleas will naturally go else where. I bathe my dog about once a week with a good flea bath. Dawn and a flea shampoo that conditions her hair. I see fewer every time I check her. Make sure that you wash good and leave the bath on for at least five minutes. Keep up the tablets every day so the build up of the yeast and garlic stays consistent. our yard is frequented by stray cats and other wild animals so the fleas are present in the yard. If you can spray the yard with cutter yard for fleas. That will help a great deal. I too checked this out.
