In your experience, does this work well as a repellent (i.e. spray before walks)? Or does it take a while for fleas to die?

yes, spray before walks and at bed time. And does take time for the fleas too die.

I use this as a repellent, however we kill the fleas in short order as well
505231
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

This stuff kills fleas immediately. We have cats. We do not spray them with Adams. We treat the premises.

First off, be prepared for a mess. i sprinkled it on using a measuring cup, the longer you leave it on the more effective it is with fleas. make sure you wear a mask when you lay it. it's safe to eat, but not to breath. and frontline, if your pets werent previously on it, takes about 3 months to control an infestation alone. so we did this, combined with lots of vacuming, washing of bedding, and frontline, and we are now flea free. took 3 months for our infestation though. (plus i have tons of this left over for my garden this summer :))

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 give this per my vet once a month to control fleas. It has worked pretty good. The first month I used it I did do 1 dose and than 10 days later did another dose and every since I have been doing 1 dose every 30 days. I love the product it is cheaper than the other products. But I also know of other people that have tried it and it didn't work for them. But I have it set up down on a once a month deliver automatic sent to me.

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.

Actually doesnt work at all with fleas nor mosquitoes and basically flying objects. For these a recommend another type of repellent or device. It works perfect for roaches,mice,bugs,spiders. Really effective.

My petite cat, aged 7 became sick from the spray. Wasn't convinced, so tried again - same result. I'm very concerned. I've sprayed it on bedding, rugs, etc. with good results- kills fleas fairly quickly.

I use the spray once a week during winter times. I would switch to flea med in warmer months.

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 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...

I had 1 for a small 1 story house. I did not trap any fleas...the light needed replaced after 4-5 days and the port that the bulb screwed into got very warm to hot. I felt a waste of money as it served as a nightlight. I did catch a mouse which prompted me to toss the whole unit.

It does not kill adult fleas and those in the pupae stage. It does kill the eggs and larvae. It can take up to 6 weeks to rid the environment of fleas.

I have found that this product does work as long as an animal hasn't yet attacked. If you can spray before it has attacked it will detour long enough that maybe you or your pet can get away.

That is what is recommended and that's what I do, but I have always had smaller dogs (largest being about 30 lbs.) It does seem like a lot per dog but they are relatively inexpensive and a 1000 tablet bottle will last a long time. I currently have 9 dogs and give 13 pills daily and a bottle lasts me about 3 months. The product really does work I have used it for over 25 years and only once in all those years did I ever have a flea problem and I have always have multiple dogs (anywhere from 5 to 13 at any given time) and also live in a rural wooded area. I swear by them and I think it would be worthwhile giving them a try. They also improve coat and skin conditions. Hope I was of some help to you.

My understanding is that it has to build up in the system which is why I begin giving it to my dog and cat before flea season gets going. I can't say if it works at killing an existing infestation of fleas, but in my experience it repels fleas from becoming a problem.

I don't spray my counters etc. I usually just spray the flooring, around the windows and exterior doors. My pets have walked on the carpeting almost immediately and I have seen no ill effects from that. Hope this works for you! I sprayed twice so far this year, only because the carpeting was cleaned about a month after I initially sprayed. No fleas. And the best is that I have NOT used any flea treatments on 3 cats and a dog. The dog and 2 of the cats go outside everyday, and either we aren't having a bad flea season which is really hard to believe, or if they have any, whatever is residual in the house, is killing the insects. I love this product. Good luck at your house with it! I don't spray my counters etc. I usually just spray the flooring, around the windows and exterior doors.

I would say more than a couple of weeks, if not longer. We actually had fleas in our king-size bed because the cats sleep with us and we only had to spray it once (of course, our cats were treated with Advantage and we sprayed their bedding with this Hartz UltraGuard as well) and that was it. This was 6+ months ago and we haven't had to use it again since. It got rid of the fleas...now my hubby and our cat-babies are happy as can be!
