Flea and Tick Carpet Powder - Flea Treatment for Rugs, Carpet, or Pet Bedding - 8.1 Ounce Canister

Man this stuff is great. I had some how got infested with fleas. I have a inside cat that never go's out side. I live in the country. So I must have tracked fleas in with me. I figured it came from the coons I feed from time to time. Anyways I had a real bad infestation of fleas and used this all natural powder on all my floor carpet and vinyl and furniture. And put the drops on him. Ii could tell a difference the nexted day. Took me about a month to be totally free from them. I still use it regularly for a deterrent.

Do you like fleas? No? Didn’t think so. If you want a solution that will wipe those buggers out for good, look no further. The smell is incredibly pleasant, in my opinion - though there are mixed reviews. Other reviews also state how horribly powdery the stuff is - it’s powder, what would you expect? They’ve also complained about how cloudy/foggy spaces get while applying the powder to carpets. Here’s a pro tip: keep windows open, & don’t hold it so high above the carpeting that it creates dust clouds. Easy. A thin layer over the entire surface of your carpet or rugs, let it sit for 24 hours or more (in areas where the fleas were worse, I let the powder sit for 72hrs). You do NOT need to dump a ton of this stuff onto your carpeting- unless you like making extra work for yourself… Some folks mention working the powder in with a broom. Don’t do this, unless you want to exist in a cloud for a while. Instead, what I did was apply powder, leave sit for a day, work it in with my feet (with shoes on - I’m not a monster), and that kept the dust from kicking up. Do wear an N95 mask. Trust me on this one - though it is a pleasant aroma, you don’t want to be breathing in all of that dust. Vacuum the powder up & make sure the vacuum has no other debris in it, and you’ll want to vacuum small bits, empty your canister, then continue. Otherwise, you will end up blowing the powder all over the place, as people have complained about. Bottom line, if you’re not lazy, and handle this product as I’ve described, there won’t be issue.The powder is pet safe, very much worth the price, and a canister will last a while if you use it correctly. It’s also made of natural, diatomaceous earth, which is the active ingredient that kills those annoying little jerks. Within two days, my cat and I weren’t scratching like crazy anymore. Also used in conjunction with a delightful peppermint flea spray on my furniture, that I will review as well. I note this, because people that have complained about fleas not being gone, must not have realized that furniture will have fleas on it, and they will jump from carpeting to furniture to hide. The powder isn’t something I’d recommend dousing all over your furniture, hence the spray. When used in tandem, my home was left smelling extra clean, and 100% flea free.

I put a second application on because even after using the tropical spray (cinnamon and clove oil pulse another) and this product there's still fleas jumping on my legs downstairs (where the heaviest infestation occurred).I crack the window for the smell is pretty strong. Luckily I love the smell. Some people might not. It smells like it has lemongrass, or maybe that is my spray I am also using. Either way, it does smell fresh inside.There is no way this will kill everything so I used two more natural flea killing products, and will repeat within two weeks. I also bought a big bomb in case in one month I don't see progress.Also, I have a cup of dawn water besides me and plop the ones that make to my legs into that. They drown. Next steps will include spraying and cleaning the furniture, washing the linenes and curtains, and mopping yet another eco product.I am ok with the smell of this product and have a high level of allergic reactions to most environmental pollutants, ie grass, pollen, chemicals and dust. This product does not offend my sense.

I'm really not entirely sure I'd this actually worked or just made things I swept up more visible.My elderly dog has trouble getting up and he's always falling down. He's got no back leg strength. So he is constantly getting bombarded by fleas because he'll fall over outside when he's let out to do his business. We've bathed him with special shampoo multiple times, treated him with medicines, and used this stuff on our carpets- all to no avail.I placed this down the first time on my entire bedroom and living room carpets. It has a nice, almost citrusy, odor absorbing fragrance to it. It did not stain/affect the color of my carpets at all. I did get some on my luxury vinyl flooring and it wouldn't come off unless wiped with a damp paper towel or cloth, so I'd avoid sprinkling on any flooring that isn't carpet.I let this sit for about 2 hours the first time (it says 60 minute minimum). I absolutely saw live fleas when I dumped my vacuum out. I'm unsure whether the white powder made them more visible or if it actually made them come to the surface, because we still have fleas. But to me, I'd say I saw definitve results because of that. I'm positive my eldery dog keeps bringing them in though as he can't use his back legs to scratch and he is vulnerable to them, regardless of all the treatments and baths. We treated the same areas a second time and then I ran out of powder. I've since ordered more treatments for my dogs instead.None of my animals or any of the people in my household had a reaction to this.So, overall I guess I'd be positive your animals are absolutely free of pests first, then secure them in an alternate location and spread this powder over the affected areas, cover them generously and let sit for 2-3 hours. You'll absolutely bring up fleas/pests.I would probably order again if I wasn't going to have animals in my house anymore. Otherwise I'm not sure I wouldn't be fighting a losing battle.

Just had a very pleasant smell, and helped read my house of fleas fast
