My relative does not have any pets but someone's cat kept coming into their backyard. That cat must have had a major flea infestation because the whole backyard was soon hopping with fleas that would jump on your legs (summer, so wearing shorts) and bite. And even worse, these blood sucking fleas would "hitch" a ride on your clothes so the fleas infested the inside of the house!
Vacuuming several times a day was helping, but there were still tons hopping, biting, laying eggs and hatching the future blood suckers! Along with the constant vacuuming, this Black Flag spray helped to knock down the fleas substantially. Within a few days, there were noticeably less fleas (and bites!) and the visible ones were very weak. The IGR Growth Regulator in this spray probably also helped to cut down the fleas, since they couldn't mature to the egg laying life cycle, so within a month of spraying and constant vacuuming, it appears that the inside flea infestation is gone. However, the backyard still had the flea infestation which required another product purchased from Amazon which also worked well.
The only problem though is that the spray attachment that comes with this product is junk and does not work! Ended up putting the Black Flag into another spray bottle so Black Flag really needs to address the issue of this useless spray attachment!
So, if you have a flea infestation inside this Black Flag spray (make sure you read and follow the label directions!) is recommended along with constant vacuuming.
We were quite SHOCKED when our "Indoor-ONLY" Kitty became infested w/ fleas! (😨YIKES!) We can only suspect that the fleas somehow entered our cozy, flea-FREE environment either by hitching a ride on the shoes/clothing of a recent visitor to our home who has pets, came in one of the many boxes or pkg deliveries we frequently receive, or one of our family members allowed a tag-along in, as they trekked thru our VERY "pet friendly" neighborhood. (That's just a 'Heads-Up' to anyone wanting to be vigilant.) At 1st we were in FULL denial when Jasmine (our kitty😻) 1st started "scratching" herself, thinking it must just be a mild case of dermatitis, or "something." Because after all, she NEVER leaves the house, so it CAN'T be fleas!! Oh, boy...how WRONG were we!!! (Consider that another 'Heads-Up!' I would suggest to just CHECK your fur baby at the VERY 1st sign of scratching/itching. DON'T make our mistake!!😰) I then noticed her scratching becoming incessant. Even to the point where she would wake from a deep sleep to SCRATCH! She even looked miserable. By the time I realized what it could possibly be, my POOR baby was infested w/ fleas!!😣
After FRANTICALLY scouring nearly EVERY website @ the internet & learning EVERYTHING there is to KNOW about FLEAS...I was ready for the "BATTLE!!!" (That's the term I hear/read ppl use all the time regarding their experience(s) with fleas. Because trust me...it IS just THAT: a full-blown "BATTLE!"😡 Lol) What I initially thought was harmless cat "dandruff" turned out to be flea EGGS! And my kitty had been shedding them everywhere in the house! (😨Yikes, again! Because I do mean EVERYWHERE!!) I headed to Amazon & LOADED my cart w/ EVERYthing & ANYthing that I thought I would need to fight this scourge of fleas! Flea & Tick: □ Shampoo, check; □ Tablets, check; □ Drops, check; □ Collar, check; □ New Vacuum Cleaner (You betcha, that's how determined I was to "WIN" this Battle! Lol) check; □ Wipes, check; □ Flea & Tick combs, check; and lastly the most important ingredient in the Recipe to kill those pesky PESTS...
□ Spray!!! But, Holy Smokes...WHICH ONE?! Sooo many choices, sooo many price points!!😫 Where do I even begin?!😲
So I bought a WHOLE bunch of DIFFERENT ones:
#1) Adam's: worked somewhat ok, but the smell & scent overwhelmed us, & our kitty HATED it! For the price, I thought, there could be better. #2) Hartz: GR8 price, worked relatively well. Good choice if you're needing to be extra price-conscious & need something that works. #3) Ortho (Aerosol): a bit pricey for such a small can, but does a GR8 job for hitting "hot spots" & dishing out an "instant kill!" Must use sparingly or, it'll all be gone B4 you know it! #4) Ortho (Liquid-Gal): Pretty decent job, no better or worse than the others. Didn't see any significant difference from others. #5) Black Flag Extreme Flea Killer (THIS Guy): I saved the BEST for last, because this puppy DOES the job BEST!! It incorporates the MUST-HAVE "IGR" component that helps win the "Battle" over those tiny monsters & their different "Life Stages," & you definitely NEED to catch them ALL in ALL of their various stages; adults, eggs, larvae, pupae, it has a clean scent that everyone in the house could live with, Jasmine didn't scamper off frantically at the 1st wiff of it (like she did w/ Adam's!) - in fact, she followed right behind me whilst I was spraying around the house, curious to see what I was doing - is priced quite fairly for its size (altho I noticed it went up a couple dollars from my 1st purchase to my 2nd; $11.XX to $13.XX - but that's ok👌 w/ me because it DOES WORK!👍, and it UNdoubtedly, absolutely knocked-DOWN the flea population in our humble abode, like nobody's business!!! The difference between all the other sprays & THIS guy was UNmistakable!! We noticed results almost immediately!! I can highly recommend THIS product WITHOUT ANY HESITATION!!!
Needless to say...$200-$300 later I had EVERY hope that I could WIN this particular "Battle!" (Lol...I HATE losing @ ANYthing!) Knock on wood, we're about 99.9% there. (After nearly 3-4 mos of this Fight! And I'm tuckered out!😴+🤕) Yeah, I'm finding fleas...BUT, they're all DEAD fleas! (The BEST kind!😂) If you're also in the midst of a "Battle," or just beginning it, your approach has GOT to be MULTI-PRONGED!!! You CANNOT JUST give your fur baby a flea bath, or JUST put a few drops between their shoulder blades, or JUST buy them a flea collar & hope the problem goes away. (Because it WON'T!!) You MUST treat EVERYthing & EVERYwhere your 4-legged beloved one comes in contact with; Beds, Scratching Posts, Chew Toys, Favorite Blankey, etc., along w/ treating him/her. Then vacuum, Vacuum, VACUUM...like there's no tomorrow! Be VERY vigilant w/ baths, drops, buy a decent flea collar, spray liberally, etc. & watch for ANY possible ways fleas can infiltrate your home...And hopefully YOU, too, can WIN your BATTLE against those MUCH hated fleas & ticks!!! Good Luck!!! I hope my long-winded (sorry 'bout that! I had to "share" as much as I could to help YOU, the SAME way others helped ME!) dissertation proves to be of some small measure of help. Fleas & Ticks SUCK BIG TIME!!! WHO NEEDS 'EM?!!!😬
P.S. Just a ☡Cautionary Note - since I already did the Homework:
Do NOT treat your pet w/ more than one treatment at a time!!! You do NOT want to overwhelm or shock their system & have them get sick. Please space your treatments, or consult your Vet for further advice. If you can't afford a Vet, check out the website: Flea Science. Terrific info & insight. (No...I'm NOT affiliated whatsoever. Just found it packed w/ exceptional knowledge.)
P.P.S. If my Battle starts to falter & the remaining .01% needs to be conquered w/ something else, I've been advised that a WHOLE house "Fogging" might just do the trick! You may want to consider incorporating that in YOUR Battle.
Good Luck, again! & Have a GR8 Day!!!😊
I tried everything I could think of. I'm not a fan of synthetic pesticides and chemicals, especially around my pets, so I tried diatomaceous earth, I tried essential oils, I tried powders and potions and prayer, let me tell you.
No dice. Even God didn't want to deal with my flea infestation.
I fantasized about packing up everything, cats and all, and just burning the house to the ground. And there I was, on Amazon shopping for matches, when I found this product and decided I could at least give it a go first.
I saw the bad reviews about the junk sprayer, so while I waited for shipping, I bought a sprayer bottle in town. I'm not about to deal with frustration just to try to deal with my original frustration. I ignored the 'do not open this totally-openable spout' directions, and poured myself a spray bottle full. 16 ounces. I shut the cats out of the sunroom and sprayed. I sprayed the floors. I sprayed the furniture. I sprayed the walls. I. sprayed. the. ceiling.
Thank God for N-95 masks, y'all, because I was -fumigating- myself in there. I sprayed about half the bottle over a 200 square foot room, but that's probably excessive. It was dripping down the walls, and the floor needed a caution sign.
While that dried, I went outside and hosed the hoard of fleas off my legs. My sunroom was the Titanic, and I was a big door. Goodbye, Jack. I sprayed my hall with a vengeance, my bathroom with impunity, and my bedroom with righteous indignation. I found a sadistic glee in watching them wriggle in the shallow pools of death-water that puddled on my floor.
They did not go gentle into that good night, no. Days passed, and they were, if anything, more mutinous than ever. Manic and angry--I swear they took me for their Goliath. Or their all-you-can-climb buffet. The cats were going mad too, and they took to playing 'the floor is lava', for understandable reasons.
But there were a few less fleas. And after a week, I doused the place again and hit the deck and walkway while I was at it. Then there were a few less. So after another week, I sprayed again. And then, miraculously, I walked into my sunroom and found my cats LAYING ON THE FLOOR!
They hadn't touched the floor in weeks! At least, no longer than it took to leap to another vertical surface and wildly groom themselves. I thought they must be sick! Then I realized after looking down that there weren't any fleas on me. None. In fact, what I -thought- was a flea was actually a new freckle on the top of my foot.
I won. Ha!
That was months ago, and not only have I not seen a single flea, I also haven't found a single (live) waterbug, spider, fly, or cricket. Apparently this stuff works on just about everything. Thank God.
