St. Gabriel Laboratories All Natural Indoor/Outdoor Insect Dust Repellent - 4.4 lb Bag 50020-7 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is wonderful to prevent fleas. We have been using it around our dogs pen, in the pen and in our home. We didn't have a flea problem inside to begin with but we are using it to prevent that. Our dog was bringing in at least 6 fleas every day. We started putting it on the dog and it almost totally keeps the fleas from getting on her which is no small feat. Our house is surrounded by woods and she stays outside most of the day. It is also OK if she ends up eating some of it because it's safe. They actually use it to deworm animals anyway. One of the drawbacks is that diatomaceous earth dries out skin. We haven't had any issues with it yet but we're always watching.

We have also used it on our rose buds and blooms. We dust it right onto the roses. Japanese beetles and June bugs were eating them up but sense we started using the diatomaceous earth, I haven't found but one or two. The roses are much healthier now.

The only drawback is that after a rain or heavy dew, you have to reapply the dust. Also, if you plan to use it on or around your animals, it needs to be food grade.

Adams Flea and Tick Yard Spray with Sprayer Review

Adams Flea and Tick Yard Spray with Sprayer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This yard spray really does the job especially if you have more of a tick problem than a flea problem.Here in Hawaii, there are a lot of ticks.I usually use Frontline Plus, which worked wonders for my two GSDs who also go to obedience school.Anyhow, one month I forgot, and suddenly there is a tick epidemic in my yard and on my dogs.

So, I ordered some of this spray that I had used a long time ago in the past.The packaging was the same.But there was one problem this time.When you get the box, it comes with a child-safe cap that has a foil seal inside.The spray attachment and inner tube/cap are separate.This tube and inner cap is supposed to fit nicely inside the neck of the bottle so that you can easily screw on the sprayer attachment.So, following the instructions, I took off the foil seal and attempted to put in the tube with the plastic cap.The tube fell out of the inner cap part, and into the bottle.Since this was a new bottle, the concentrate was full, and impossible to get the tube part out without spilling the liquid!I ended up using a thin stick I found in the yard to help fish it out.So, I put the tube back into the inner cap, and then a second problem!

This time, the cap part didn't fit in the neck of the bottle!So, I tried forcing it, and suddenly the bottle "gave" out a little and the concentrated formula overflowed on the outside of the bottle.At this point I was getting pretty grumpy and thinking what the heck, this didn't happen the last time I used this brand!Since I orderd two boxes, I opened up the second box and there was the same problem. So I ended up having to use my brass hose nozzle and scraped it around the bottle opening to "stretch" it out a little.I finally got the cap to fit properly and then attached the sprayer.I then turned on the hose with the sprayer on "off" as per the instructions.Suddenly, the sprayer broke apart and I was blasted with water.Thankfully it was only the end part attached to the hose that somehow snapped off.I was able to snap it back on and turning down the water, proceeded to use it on my lawn.

Overall this is a good product and it works.I guess maybe the bottle and sprayer were made in China since the quality was really poor compared to the last time I used it.

I'd been looking for a good source of boric acid. All the others that I found were either too expensive on the base price or charged a lot for shipping. This vendor, happily, has reasonable prices for both. The transaction itself was also a positive experience. Everthing went well and I received the product within a reasonable amount of time and in good condition.

(More customer reviews)
Last year, I went to Europe for two weeks, leaving my dog and three cats in a boarding kennel. All were on Advantix and without fleas as far as I could tell. While in Europe I decided to return home three days earlier. I arrived home late at night and wanted to go to bed right away. When I stepped into the bedroom, my pajamas looked like some dark liquid had splashed on my legs. It was full of little black spots, hundreds of them. To my horror, I realized that these were fleas. Fortunately I had a bottle of IG Regulator that I had bought to try if I ever needed it. I sprayed the bedroom carpet, and left several dishes with soap water on the floor to catch as many fleas as I could. Two days later the house was free of fleas and I brought home my pets without a problem.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product will eliminate both live and unborn fleas in and around home including infestations located inside walls.Once sprayed around perimeter of each room or around outside of home this product kills live fleas and continues to interupt new flea generation from hatched egg/larvae.Will usually eliminate fleas on a permanant basis unless fleas are re-introduced by pets, etc.Fast knock-dosn and continuous protection will please those who have been bothered by flea bites as well as pets that are kept inside.Label says will remain effective for actual killing for up to 120 days but will more than likely eliminate your problem once and for all.If you bring pets in and out of your home you will probably want to purchase the direct pet spray as well to be thoroughly protected. In a rental at the beach I encountered a large flea infestation after moving in.It was just a matter of spaying one time to solve the problem.Highly reocmmended.

Synergy First Defense Premise Treatment In-Home All-Natural Pesticide, 2 Pounds Review

Synergy First Defense Premise Treatment In-Home All-Natural Pesticide, 2 Pounds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm fairly certain that Synergy First Defense has contributed to almost solving our household flea problem. I had already treated our two cats with Frontline Plus and thoroughly vacuumed our rugs and carpets every day for over a week before finally buying First Defense. We had already seen a marked improvement, though not total, decline in flea activity. It seems that First Defense may be helping.

I would probably give this product 4 stars if it had better instructions. My main problem with instructions is that they were unclear as to how long to leave the powder in the carpets and rugs. They were clear about making certain that children and pets are not present while treating floors and carpets, but did not specify when you could reintroduce pets and children. They also did not indicate for how long you should leave the powder in the carpets and rugs. I left the powder in the treated areas overnight before vacuuming. Despite keeping my cats away from the treated rooms and vacuuming the rugs and carpets, they may have ingested some of the product. It may have been a coincidence but my cats threw up the next couple of days, so I'm now a little concerned about treating with First Defense again.

Please, do not use this product!!!! I have to warn anybody who will listen... This product can be harmful if not fatal to cats! My cat died because of a very similar product. I want to warn everyone. Do not use Hartz drops either as they are just as dangerous! The only safe flea/tick medication is frontline advantage available from your vet. Yes, it is more expensive but isn't your pet's life worth it? Please believe me, I am not making this up or exaggerating! I lost my female cat and my male cat is still recovering from this poison.

Knockout treatment gets rid of fleas and keeps them away. I like it because it does not discolor carpet, tile, or harm oak floors. I usually take my dog to the groomer the day I spray the house, but I have also put her in our rec room and with a closed door she's fine. I spray about every four to five weeks even if I don't see fleas.

Zoecon Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray, 16 oz. Review

Zoecon Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray, 16 oz.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's been one week since I used this product and NO FLEAS!

I tried less expensive products available in local stores and they did not work for more than a day or two at best. Most likely, because they did not kill the eggs or larva.

If you are reading this review you may already know that fleas have a 4-stage life cycle - Eggs, larva, pupa, flea. Many products kill the fleas only, which is a complete waste of your time and money. You MUST use a product with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) or they will continue to hatch and lay more eggs.

When using this product, I followed the directions and moved furniture, vacuumed like a mad woman and sprayed under couches before moving them back into position. It was a grueling day but it seems it was well worth it. For the price of one can, it looks like I may have finally rid my home of the nasty little suckers.

If things change in the next week or two, I'll post an update. But for now, it's looking very good. Yay!

********UPDATE***********

It's been 3 weeks and NOT ONE FLEA! They are GONE. GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!!

My granddaughter had head lice. Nothing we bought over the counter or that her doctor prescribed could get rid of them.I was in a local pet store and saw these Flea Zapper combs.I took a chance and bought one thinking if it works on fleas maybe it will work on head lice.Not only did it kill the lice but also the nits. My daughter combed her hair with it each night for a week.She has not had head lice since then.So many people borrowed ours we have lost track of it so now I'm buying another one, but this time for our pets. (I don't recommend using on wet hair).I'm really surprised it is not packaged and sold as a head lice control for people - probably has something to do with the FDA.

I found this product effective, and reasonably priced (as always, shop around).Fleas have been worse this year than before, and we had to shampoo all the cats & dogs (ineffective, Zodiac shampoo from PetCo did not get all the fleas on the cats - some survived), fogged the house twice, put orthoboric acid powder in the carpets & crevices (helps, but is slow acting), and finally tried this product on a group of the cats - it was effective, so we bought enough to treat all the cats (and Frontline for the 2 dogs - read too many negative reaction stories about the Sargents Sentry product for dogs - no personal experience with it on dogs). I can say this product works well for cats, and we treated 24 different cats with no adverse reactions - a pretty good test.

Seven Month Flea Killer Spray, 1 Gal Review

Seven Month Flea Killer Spray, 1 Gal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was having flea problems after visiting a friends house.I had over 30+ bites within 24hrsand caught on/about 15 fleas within a 2 day period.I tried the powdered stuff from Petco, but it was way too messy and wasn't really that effective as I hoped (caught another 5 fleas that night).

On the 3rd day, I got fed up due to the lack of sleep and paranoia of getting bit again.I went to Home Depot and purchased this.I shook the contents, inserted the spray hose, and started spraying in a sweeping motion over the carpet.You might want to hold your breath while spraying since you aren't supposed to inhale this stuff and wear gloves, pants, and shoes to avoid any skin contact.After the vapor dissipates, there is no smell, and dries (in a warm day) on/about 30 minutes which is nice!You can stay home during the drying process which is great!After that, you can freely walk around regularly (without shoes) as long as it is dry.I tested my legs again that night using it as bait at the computer room (where I caught the most fleas) and checked it regularly.4hrs went by and nothing!Talk about relief!

So I'd have to say, this stuff is low maintenance and it works!

I bought this originally because I thought our cats had fleas and wanted to spray around their areas.It's turned out to be a great all around product.It doesn't smell chemical-y, aggravate my allergies, or give me a headache like some sprays do, and I feel comfortable spraying it in the kitchen or around the cats' feeding area, where we had an ant problem.You can really control the direction of the spray and get into nooks and crannies easily.I even chased a big fly around and sprayed it dead.Normally would never be able to kill something like that.It's also good if bugs in general give you the heebie jeebies and you want to be able to kill them from a few feet away.Especially great for apartment city dwellers who can't control the cleanliness of their neighbors...

Magic Coat Flea & Tick Shampoo for Cats, 12-Ounce Review

Magic Coat Flea & Tick Shampoo for Cats, 12-Ounce
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My short-haired kittens, now ~12 weeks old, came from the shelter with a free! bonus! infestation of fleas, so I treated the house with frequent vacuuming and very liberal application of Buck Mountain Herbal Gold Parasite Dust, and I treated the animals with Frontline Plus. However, I must have misapplied the Frontline (i.e., put it in a spot where they could lick it off, and didn't sequester the kittens from each other so they couldn't lick the medicine off each other before it dried). The stuff worked dramatically at first, but the kittens never really stopped scratching, and two weeks later, I started seeing adult fleas running around again.

Since I can't reapply Frontline to the boys for another two weeks, this morning I washed them with this shampoo. I lathered each kitten up in turn, starting at his head and paying special attention to his ears, where the fleas like to hang out. I kept the lather on for as close to five minutes as I could, per the directions on the bottle. There were a few dead fleas in the water when I was done, but even as I toweled the boys dry, it was clear that many more live insects were left on their bodies.

Since then, the kittens have been bright, clean, fluffy, soft, . . . and scratching more than ever. Every time I look at them, I see a flea crawling somewhere in their fur--vigorous and seemingly unscathed. It really seems like all this flea shampoo did was to make the fleas more mobile, and more aggressive.

So tomorrow I'll try combing, Victor sticky flea traps, and lots more vacuuming and laundering. I'll use this shampoo for future kitten baths, because I already have it and it seems to leave the boys' fur in a nice state, but I won't expect it to help with the flea problem at all. Disappointing.

Sergeant's Gold Flea and Tick Squeeze-On Cat Review

Sergeant's Gold Flea and Tick Squeeze-On Cat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Our 2 and a half year old orange tabby Oliver died last night because of SERGEANT'S GOLD SQUEEZE ON FOR CATS flea and tick treatment. Oliver was an extremely healthy and loving cat. In a little more than 24 hours he went from playing with his favorite toy, a laser, to dead. On Wednesday August 31, 2010 we applied some of this horrible product. We followed the directions accurately. On Thursday he was acting different. He had been hiding all day and refused to play with his laser. That night we decided to take him to the emergency room for precautionary reasons. The veterinarian suggested we leave him in the hospital over night for observation. We left the vet's office at 10:45 PM. At about 12:00am, an hour and 15 minutes after we had left him we got a phone call from the hospital. That was probably one of the worst if not the worst phone call I've ever received. The vet said that we applied the medication correctly and that Oliver had only ingested a minimal amount of it. The problem was that his skin absorbed the product and it got into his bloodstream causing organ failure. There was nothing the veterinarians could do to save him. I could not sleep that night. I kept thinking about all the forums I readonline that I didn't believe. I honestly thought my cat was going to be just fine because he was eating and still came out of hiding for treats. Little did I know that this product was slowly killing him. PLEASE believe me when I say DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. The veterinarians told us that these over the counter products are NOT safe. I know that the flea medications that are prescribed by a veterinarians are expensive, but I would pay 10,000 times that to have Oliver back.Please please please spread the word about these medications. I've had animals my entire life and I never knew how dangerous they were. I don't understand how it is even allowed to be on the market. Sergeant's website even says that when used properly it is safe on animals. THIS IS A LIE. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Please find any other alternative to treat fleas. Because in the end I would take a flea infested Oliver as oppose to no Oliver at all.
