KILLS AND REPELS FLEAS, TICKS AND MOSQUITOES

EFFECTIVE AND EASY TO USE

DOGS

Spritz your dog before or after outings to repel pests and kill any fleas or ticks that may have hitched a ride home. You can also spray pet bedding and furniture where your dog likes to spend time. Repeat 2-3 times per week or as needed.

CATS

Cats are more sensitive by nature, so we recommend a test spray about an hour before a full treatment. We suggest the 4 oz size flea spray for a finer mist. If your cat is fearful of spray bottles, spray into your hands and massage onto your cat.

HOMES

Spray on carpet, wood flooring, upholstery, furniture and pet bedding. Make sure you contact all surfaces to eliminate any existing problem. For best results, use in conjunction with Flea & Tick Control for Yard + Garden in any outdoor spaces.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this stain my mattress and micro-suede couch
Answer:	It did not stain my sofa, chair or bedspread. I did spray heavily over these but I didn't saturate to the point of being wet. It does the job but remember to lightly reapply in approximate 2 weeks just to make sure you get any hatched larvae.
Question:	I live in a one bedroom and was wondering if I could spray the living room and stay in the bedroom while it dries and vice versa
Answer:	I believe you could do this. I would recommend opening a few windows if possible. This has a smell but it’s not horrible. This really works. Be sure to vacuum before and after you spray. Throw away the vacuum sweeper bag or empty the contents of container if it has that. This way if you have any eggs vacuumed up you get rid of them. I would also recommend Serestro collars if you haven’t heard of them. I haven’t had fleas since using this spray and now using the collars.
Question:	My vet says this is toxic to cats! How do I return? I haven't opened the box yet
Answer:	My vet just told me yesterday about this spray. My house is infested as I was treating what I thought were gnats, but exterminator says it’s fleas! She told me I could leave my two cats at the clinic while I spray, but it’s easier to take them out of the room for 2-3 hours until it’s dried and vacuumed. I have great expectations for today!!
Question:	The spray helped at first, but the fleas seem to be back a couple weeks later. did i just not use enough? should i spray wood floors? under beds
Answer:	We had a infestation knock out helped us gain control but will not stop them, follow directions on can and yes spray your wood floors as any cracks can be a home for larva. Spray were the walls meet the floor this is very important, you will need to spray lightly sofas and love chairs as this is a place for eggs. Now you need to understand the life cycle of a flea colony, first flea enters home on pet or you have flea infested flower beds lawn or just general out door areas. If no pet you will need to spray with a flea yard guard, if you have a pet they will need to be treated with an good flea treatment not any no brand garbage. The pets flea protection after applied will enter there blood stream and if any flea bites them they will die a short time later. Now the fleas are in so they need food this would be your pets blood or yours if that's all there is but they prefer animals. Flea's suck up blood and lay its eggs in the carpet & cracks in your wood floor and wall floor seams. Eggs hatch and now you have larva (worms) they eat skin scale dander and other remnants that are abundant in your carpet and floor. Next the larva form a cocoon and start their transformation this stage is called papa, and sprays, and other poisons cannot penetrate the cocoon. Knock out will kill live young and adult fleas, larva and some eggs and will keep working for weeks. But the papa are not effected and will hatch amazingly only when a food source goes by, and can stay dormant for up to 2 years. The egg to adult flea cycle takes approximately 6 weeks so you should reapply then also number one defense besides getting your pet flea control is vacuuming. A USC study found that just vacuuming twice a week eliminated up to 96% of adult fleas and larva. So what you are probably seeing is some of the next generation hatching. As I said we had a infestation and knock out hit them hard and we were able to live unharassed but I vacuumed 2-3 times per week for 3 months and get that pet good flea control and turn then into the toxic avenger every flea that bites them will die and not lay eggs. Once the cycle has been broken continuous pet or yard flea control and regular vacuuming will eliminate this small but over whelming force. Good luck stick to a good cleaning regiment and you will see less and less of them every week until they are basically gone. PS. If you have out door furniture or a extra coach in the basement spray with knock out it will take care of them as it contains a growth inhibitor so a good percentage of fleas that hatch a few weeks after you applied Knock out will have there growth stunted and never reach adult hood to lay eggs but they will bite and die within a few weeks which is normal life span for flea.

Answer:	Sometimes there will be bugs crawling out. Makes it easier target to kill.

Question:	How long to kill bed bugs and how long does it last

Question:	Can i spay mattress or clothing with this

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use it on rabbits
Answer:	This is a heavy duty spray which I doubt you would want to set as a timed spray inside your house. I use one in the garage at the door to the inside of our house which pretty closely eliminates flying insects with few exceptions. It does however, necessitate cleaning the glass in the door as overspray will sometimes get on the glass. I have it set on shelving adjacent to the door at the same height as the top of door frame and the spray floats gently down the area where insects would be flying to enter the house. I would not however, set it up to time spray inside the house but I do use a can to manually spray around the french door frame and surround and sometimes in the trash can if we have dumped excessive amounts of produce peelings, etc. Seems gnats can detect them from far away and will sometimes find their way inside despite my efforts to keep them away.
Question:	i heard it must have deet in it is thattrue
Answer:	I use them outside near my front door where my dogs lay waiting to be let inside. I also use them in my barn where flies are attracted to my goats, horses , and chickens.
Question:	Will this herbal spray work for killing fleas on both adult dogs and cats
Answer:	I have a 1525 sq ft house and I have 2 inside. Works great.
Question:	it says this is a spray powder. How is this used??? I normally use DE
Answer:	It is formulated to help keep flies and mosquitos away. I don’t believe it will be very effective on wasps.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the ingredients
Answer:	Under "Important Information" it states: "Active Ingredients: Peppermint Oil...0.20%, Eugenol (from Clove plants)...0.46%, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (plant-derived)...1.78%, Inert Ingredients* ...97.56%, *Water, Sodium Benzoate (preservative widely used in foods)." I believe the ingredient list given by "anonymous da" is for the dog version (https://www.amazon.com/Vets-Best-Natural-Flea-Spray/dp/B003PRI6OC). I haven't purchased either, just going by the information given on the product pages.
Question:	Would this work for rabbits
Answer:	I am not sure I would call your vet, just on a side note this did not work on my cats.
Question:	I read that pepperment oil is harmful to cats-what is everyone's take on this
Answer:	Most essential oils are toxic to cats. Normally we, and other animals, have an enzyme in our liver to break down the components of essential oils. However, cats do not have this enzyme. So, the toxic components of the oils biomagnify (build up) over time, and cause severe liver damage, neurological issues, immune system failure, and eventually death. Think of it this way, dogs cannot have too much chocolate for a very similar reason. Their bodies were not designed to digest and break down cacao like ours is. Eventually, too much chocolate will kill them.
Question:	What is the difference between this product (for cats) vs the same home spray marketed toward dogs? And why is this one so much more expensive
Answer:	Brittany's answer is not exactly correct. Close, though. The "cat" version simply reduces the amount of clove oil (eugenol) and the surfactant, sodium lauryl sulfate. Thank you to Vet's Best for being on top of that. The "cat" version will work just fine on dogs and as a spray for bedding and carpet. It is cedar oil that is toxic to cats (and who else?) and this product does not contain that.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I spray on bed, pillows and couches
Answer:	Yes - I sprayed it all over my couch - separated the pillows and cushions and let everything sit overnight and in the morning put my couch back together. There is no odor or staining. Stuff is wonderful. Only had to use it once.
Question:	If sprayed onto pet bed or carpet, how long does it take for the cat to inhabit those areas
Answer:	At least 24 hours. I usually spray their bedding outside. Just be careful not to inhale the fumes. Great product, you might want to try the Adam's carpet powder for the rugs.Just sprinkle on,wait 2 hours and then vac.
Question:	Are the ingredients made out of same things in raid? this smells just like a mix of raid roach spray and frontline flea med
Answer:	I haven't used Raid for many years and don't know about the toxins listed on a can of it. I do know that Raid would be poisonous to animals or people, if ingested. I have used Adams spray for a very long time. It has never caused any side effects in any of the animals I have used it on. It is a very effective product that I rely on for flea control for my dogs as well as the wildlife animals that I rehabilitate. I wouldn't necessarily judge the product by how it smells.
Question:	Should I shampoo the carpet & furniture before I use the spray
Answer:	To anyone wanting to shampoo their carpets before using this. Don't. It may kill some of the existing fleas but it will actually cause eggs to hatch. Vacuum like crazy, spray the vacuum container, close it back up and let the fleas in there die. Empty it. Get some 20 mule team Borax and shake it all over your carpet and couch, and fabric furniture and sweep it in and let it stay down. It will help dry up the eggs, and dehydrate the fleas. Every time you vacuum, make sure you put some more back down. Use the Adams to spray your house. This stuff is excellent. I also recommend using flea traps that use a night light and sticky paper. That way you can keep tabs on how you are doing, by the number of fleas that you find in the traps. I also want to state, that Harts and Sargeant, and off brand flee drops for your pets shoulder blades DO NOT WORK! Please don't waste your money. Either get Advantage or Frontline. Or you can get Capstar of Comfortis, which are oral treatments. I hope this helps people. I worked in the Grooming industry for many years and have helped a lot of people effectively get rid of their fleas. Good luck, and please gives these tips a try. It is a lot better than bombing your house. You can also initially have an exterminator come to your house. But you will have to maintain your prevention routine for several weeks. You should be able to restore peace in a flea free home in about a month. Also, this can be used for other insects as well. You can spray a flying wasp and it will fall dead within seconds.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hello. Does this kill flea eggs too or juts adults
Answer:	Yes! this product DOES kill flea eggs also! Now, I will say in my experience, you may need to apply this product to the animal as well as floor, furniture, and bedding a second time in order to be sure the eggs are really treated and to catch any "sneaky" ones that may slip by. It is really very effective and economical.
Question:	what does it contain
Answer:	the flea and tick home spray is a great smelling spray that is safe to use.it can even be sprayed directly on your pet!! it contains only peppermint oil,clove extract and sodium lauryl sulfate.i had a bad experience spraying other chemical flea preparations,and found this which is safe and a more natural mixture.i really like it and have had good results.
Question:	ticks
Answer:	YES!!!!. When I was new to this tick infested area I had more than 10 attached to me (slow learner). The dog also had many but since he was on tick control the ticks died. I knew that he had to have brought live ticks to my bed......I sprayed the "dirty" spread and left the product on for 24 hours. After that I sprayed myself and the dog every time we went out. NEVER since the spraying did he have any nor did I any ticks attached and there was no tick infestation in the house (I was concerned about that). The only product I used was Vet's best.
Question:	can this be used on cats
Answer:	It clearly says it’s for home and DOGS. It even states after what age the dogs should be sprayed. It does not state it can be used on cats. They do have a cat version of the spray.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many times should you vacuum to get rid of the powder
Answer:	Lisa, Thank you for reaching out to us. Since the product only needs to be sprinkled lightly across the carpet, you should only need to vacuum once. If you have additional questions please call us at 1-888-908-8425.
Question:	Can you use on your furniture with ot discolor ir stain ? Can you leave on for 24 or48 hours? Or permanently
Answer:	I wouldn't recommend putting it on your furniture, but as long as it's a light coat and you vacuum it soon afterwards, I don't think it will hurt. You can leave the powder in your carpet for 24 hours, which is actually recommended. HOWEVER, that entire area needs to be quarantined. No people or pets should be exposed to it. After the powder has been applied and vacuumed, it should be effective for 6 to 10 months.

User questions & answers

Question:	I am not sure if I have fleas but something is biting in the evening. does this kill even other insects may be fruits flies
Answer:	This killed every insect in my house. I'm pretty sure it would kill fruit flies.
Question:	Do you use a mask to prevent inhaling chemicals
Answer:	You should use a mask when applying this. Precore 2000 is what our professional pest control company used for a flea infestation in carpet. He wore a mask and goggles. He told me no one shoudl be in the house for 4 hours after applying this and that it should then be vaccuumed up.
Question:	Hi. One other question. Where do you spray the stuff? Like everywhere..floors, furniture, carpet etc? Or just carpets? Thank you
Answer:	My indoor only cats got fleas from a neighbor who had a huge infestation and didn’t tell me. I decided to be proactive and bought the killer of all killer sprays- Precor. I sprayed it along the baseboards of the rooms where my cats spend the most time. But I did all the usual “tests” to see how extensive my flea issue was (I.e. soap flea traps, white socks) and did not catch any so I felt my problem was “light” as I only found fleas (1-3) on my cats. But I did vacuum daily and mop every 2 days. You can use it on furniture but I would suggest you only use around hidden areas (underneath cushions or seat) as fleas do not live on the exposed areas. But vacuum those as well. Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum is the key as well as using a preventative in your pets!

User questions & answers

Question:	How long does it take to dry
Answer:	It dries as fast as water. That depends on your local environment at the time you apply it.
Question:	is it safe to spray on mattress
Answer:	I've sprayed it on the sides of my mattress didn't have any problems with it.
Question:	Can some one answer please?can i used this products with my cats and my dog in my house or have to take them to the other place?this is toxic for them
Answer:	I have both cats & dogs...just keep them off of the area until it's "completely dry"...then it's all good after that.
Question:	Why is there a lot of "vine customer review of free product ?" they all have a 4 to 5 star review while the ones who really bought had 1star reviews
Answer:	As a vine reviewer, i disagree with Chad's response. I can only speak for myself, but this was the first product i used that actually did ANYTHING to combat my nasty flea infestation. In fact, it's the only thing that has done anything at all (vacuuming, vapor cleaning, baking soda, borax, dehumidifiers, etc).Additionally, there have been studies on Vine reviewers vs. regular reviewers, and they tend to give lower-scored reviews than the general population. just sayin'.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have a smell - chopped it up put in wet food cat would not touch it
Answer:	No it does not smell. Do not chop it up . Take a little bit of the cat food and roll the pill in it. Then place the pill covered in cat food on top of the rest of the cat food. Make sure your cat is hungry, like the first thing in the morning.
Question:	Can this be given in addition to a topical flea solution
Answer:	A vet tech told me it is ok , but I play it safe and apply the topical (Advantage) 24 hours after the Capstar.
Question:	Is this the medicine that makes the cat act nervous like something is biting it after about 20 minutes giving the pill
Answer:	Capstar affect the nervous system of the fleas and they get spastic. The fleas get into a frenzy and squirm around on the cat. All that movement on the cats skin drive them a little crazy for 30-60 minutes.
Question:	What is the difference between this and blue label Capstar
Answer:	I would call the company, and see if they say, "We can get double our money for anyone with a small dog AND a cat." Many do not like cats as well as dogs and if the designers of this drug are members of those who like one species of pets, they may not care if your cat gets poisoned. and there are many foods that cats or dogs find poisonous, and for many who have indoor cats, the pills may expire before needing to use more.
