Does it work on flea bettles?

Hi Daniel: The package says that it works on cockroaches, ants, earwigs, silverfish, crickets, millipedes, centipedes, fleas & bedbugs. The directions for the fleas say, "thoroughly dust floor area of pet's sleeping quarters , as well as surrounding cracks, crevices, baseboards, behind pictures and wherever presence of these insects are suspected.

Don't quote me, but I am pretty sure the main idea is that this scratches up the exoskeleton belly and legs of just about any insect as they walk over it. These injuries lead to dehydration and death. Make sure to spread it out thin though (when applying to surfaces), as even tiny clumps are highly visible to them and they will simply walk around. Spread it out thin so it will stick to them as they walk over it. Death is not instantaneous - it takes some time. If you are thinking to apply this to a pet, I would discuss it with a vet first to make sure. I say that because you are NOT supposed to breath this stuff in, and if it is in the animal's fur I would imagine that the usual sniffing and scratching would lead to inhalation. Maybe a cone could be applied in that case?

We have used it with the Archer Insect Growth Regulator. This combination has worked for us 3 years in a row for flea and tick control. Wish you luck!

The medicine only kills the fleas and eggs on the animal. You still need to spray flea killer on furniture and wherever the pet sleeps, wash bed linens, and vacuum frequently until the fleas are eradicated.

Yes and we get big ones at the beach at night. Really works on fleas too. Kills them on contact. We walk our dogs near the sand and my dogs will pick up fleas. We spray them down before we go into the house. Also works on ants bees etc

I've tried both this trap and your soapy water+candle method. Both were equally ineffective for fleas. (Although if you have fruit flies, a soda bottle with a little soap+apple cider vinegar in it and a paper funnel taped to the mouth works great. The fruit flies fly in, can't fly out, and drown.)

I have not used it for fleas, so I would have to refer you to the manufactuer or another person who has used this product.

I don't know. I bought this and it did not work for fleas. I gave it to my inside cats and it made the litter box reek. I guess because of the garlic.

I don't have any pets at home but I did read somewhere that essential oils such as lavender oil can help as a flea repellant. Pests and insects do not like the smell of essential oils so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just to be on the safe side you should contact your vet just to make sure.

I don't think so it doesn't even work for fleas. I wouldn't think it works for ticks.

No, this doesn't work hardly at all. Bought 2 for our two dogs and it didn't get rid of any fleas.

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.

Hi Julie! I used it for over a month and it didn't seem to do anything for fleas. Maybe it will work for you, I have heard that it works for other people's pets.

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 didn't have problems with flea eggs so I couldn't tell if the product was effective for treating them. I used it mostly for spiders and other small insects. I recently had termite inspection done in my house. I was told my house was clean of insects (except for some termite problems).

Yes. It's pricey at first but it states that it works for 8 months before replacement. When figured out between the monthly flea medicine I find it cheaper. It's worked wonders for my cats and the flea infestation I had. I'm on month 3. I love this product.

We have tried several products for the cat and this kills adult and newborn fleas. I treat the ground outside and then the animals and the combination works.

I think so. It works miracles on even bed bug infestations, and gets rid of roaches totally. Fleas jump so it may be a little harder to control, I would sprinkle it liberally on your carpets, rub it in and vacuum up the excess. Also rub it on box springs and mattresses under the sheets.
