How about fleas? I have a huge problem with fleas.

I'm no bug expert, but since I think fleas tend to jump rather than crawl, they may not often jump into the assembled traps, but I'm sure you'd still catch some. If you don't have to worry about kids or pets getting into them, you could leave the traps open to increase your chances. But if you don't have pets, you probably wouldn't have fleas, so...

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.

Dunno, I don't have fleas, but it does not seem to work on much. I have it, as instructed, plugged it into the wall where nothing is obstructing it and watched a small critter crawl up the wall not less than 3" away from it. I watched and waited for it to have a seizure or start walking in circles, but he crawled up in a straight line without concern until I had to squash it. I am doubtful this product works very well and wish I could get my money back to buy another bright idea that is supposed to eradicate.

So far I have just put collars on my 2 dogs. The fleas were gone by the next day. No more discomfort for them. I will leave the collars on until Dec. Then purchase 2 more to put on in April. Nina Burke

I would repeat in a week for a severe flea problem. You must also treat the yard with a yard spray if the pet goes outside. Use a product like Frontline/Advantix on animal.

Definitely vacuume first. At least I always do. And I also moved all the furniture. Maybe I went a tad overboard but the fleas all disappeared after 3 days or so. I spray her bedding now too, after a good wash, and I haven't seen any since May when I bought this stuff.

It worked for me when I was in a house that was /incredibly/ flea infested. They swarmed up almost the second I stepped in the door, I turned around and went back to my car and sprayed myself thoroughly. Didn't get another bite the whole six or more hours I was there. (Previous renter got chewed out by her mom (my step mom) for leaving the house like that too.)

When I was living in Oregon, I placed this device in my living room which had the most bugs. I always found dead pill bugs, spiders, & earwigs. We didn't have a problem with fleas, since Oregon is mostly cold and wet. All you can do is try and see. You may want to use a can of fumigator (store) which we used before moving in a house.

My dogs have never had fleas. I've used Brewer'sYeast tabs on them since they were about two years old. They are now 11 and 10.

They only last for around 24 hours killing every flea. I just give mine 1 every month.

First buy some diatomaceous earth. It's very inexpensive and kills fleas on carpet and animals. Second, contact the manufacturer with your questions. The unit I bought cleans hay bits from my horse trailer and back seat of my pick up of dog hair adequately but not perfectly.

I do. I spray lightly over the whole bed, spreads, comforters etc. No issue from doing that. This year I sprayed the entire house and am not using a flea product on the 3 cats or a dog. Its been month, and no one has fleas yet! We are in SC and its hot,humid, and buggy. But for 4 animals not to have a flea problem this far into summer is very good, and unusual. Love this product.

I would look for pure essential oils, and carrier oils, high in B's. Fleas hate B. I've used Infusium shampoo on my dogs, and noted how the fleas were quicker to jump off the skin. If I were to go natural, I'd choose a decent carrier oil, and add some Tea Tree, and perhaps another compatible/suitable essential, and massage it into the skin, and fur, after shampooing my dog, massaging it around for a few minutes, and then doing a final rinse. There's plenty of information available online to come up with a proper solution, and please remember to do so. Please never take another's word as the solution, without informing yourself first. Good luck!

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.

I think it does an excellent job on house fleas. I tracked fleas from my deck before I observed that neighbors' dogs and cats used my deck more than I did.

I have a one story home with 3 bedrooms and I purchased 2 traps. Depending on how many rooms you have on each level and how bad your flea issue is. This year was the first time the issue was bad. I would get at least 2, one for each level. If the flea issue is bad I would get 4. Be sure to get refills so you have them on hand. Our traps filled up quickly. The trap came with two pads but the filled up so fast I was glad I had purchased a refill package as well. I love these things, that have worked great for us.

I really don't know. I used it in the Adirondack's so I know it's very effective for mosquito's and a variety of flies. I don't believe I was around fleas.
