What actually killed the fleas in the end.
I don't often write reviews, anywhere. But, I WILL write a review whenever I discover a product that really works, or something that I really love, and would repurchase.
This Flea & Tick Home Spray, is one of them. This one, in particular. I actually bought it after spending way too much money on Raid, and Advantage, even made homemade vinegar concoctions and whatever else.
We live in a pretty old Florida home, with carpets, old wooden walls with cracks, etc. We have two cats. The flea problem became extreme when we dog sat our neighbors dog who had fleas, and I then rescued a small kitten who was infested with them. It was so bad to the point my own legs, feet and ankles were so badly bitten by fleas I was scratching until I bled. I had no idea where the eggs where either. I could just see fleas all over. And the poor cats were scratching themselves 24/7 too.
Before we got our landlord to bomb the entire place, I decided to give it one last try. I read all the reviews for this, and thought why not. After going through all this BS, why not try something natural. And I did.
I literally sprayed the ENTIRE apartment with this. Under the bed, in every corner, crack, nook and cranny. This is safe to use on cats too, btw, but I didn't have to. I sprayed under, above, in between and behind furniture, and around window sills and edges. I threw out old cat beds and blankets. I may add, I really like the smell too.
I went to my vet too, and he gave me Cheristin to apply to the cats, as a flea medicine. Research it before you buy it obviously, but this is what my vet recommended for my cats. I decided to do this all at the same time to maximize the result of month of flea problems and despair.
It didn't take long, probably less than 24 hours, until I saw a huge difference. I am not kidding when I say the fleas were gone. Even the fleas I saw in my cats furs, were dead when I combed them out. The fleas I used to spot on the carpet, all dead. The fleas at the bottom of my bed, dead. My apartment was officially flea-free.
The other day, I spotted a flea in the kittens fur again. I picked it out and killed it, and re-sprayed my whole apartment, this was a week ago and I've not seen a flea again, nor have I kept up to date with their Cheristin prescribed flea medicine. I will get some more of that too, but I think the real result has been thanks to this amazing spray. Which is why I rather purchase a new spray for $15, instead of flea medicine that would cost me about $90 for 2 cats, lasting 3 months.
(I will keep buying Cheristin, but there has been no need to apply this religiously on them, every month).
Hope this helps!
