PETARMOR Home Household Spray for Dogs 24 oz 02843

Effective Products and Good Value — I am reviewing 3 products in combination: PetArmor Home & Carpet Spray, ADAMS Plus Flea & Tick Carpet Powder, and Amazon's Topical Flea Treatment for Cats (if you have a dog, purchase the correct Amazon topical for him/her!). Important Note: Fleas have a persistent life cycle. I believe that a home cannot be free from fleas without taking on a concerted effort to eliminate them by treating your pet(s) and the environment in which they live: First, treat your pet(s). My cat was acting differently, over-grooming, increased vocalization, lethargy, etc.. — all signs that something was wrong. Before applying Amazon's Topical Flea Treatment, I flea-combed her thoroughly and removed nearly 100 fleas. But those were only the fleas that were on the cat. Now, the environment. Wash bedding and related washables, towels, clothes etc., in HOT water. Vacuum EVERYTHING thoroughly, and throw the vacuum bag away (Outside) afterward. I then treated the carpets with ADAMS Flea Powder, working it into the fibers and leaving it overnight before vacuuming it up. Follow the product directions and keep pets away from treated areas until they are safe. Next, I sprayed the furniture, bedding, baseboards, tight spaces and other appropriate areas with PetArmor Home & Carpet Spray. This spray works As an "adulticide", preventing continued reproduction. IMPORTANT: Don't expect the fleas to Die or Disappear immediately. The adult fleas you see on your pet are only one stage of the flea life cycle. Eggs fall off into the environment, clothes, bedding, carpets, furniture, where they develop into larvae and eventually pupae. Those pupae can remain protected until conditions are right for them to emerge as adult fleas. After a short while, you will notice much smaller fleas on your pet. These are the next generation that have been waiting to hatch. This process/cycle takes a few weeks in order for the powder, spray and topical do their job. Remember: you can treat your pet and your home correctly and still see fleas afterward. A newly appearing flea doesn't necessarily mean the treatment failed — it may have already been developing in your home before you ever started treatment. That's why vacuuming, environmental treatment and treating the pet need to be done together and continued for several weeks. You're not simply killing the fleas you see; you're breaking an established life cycle. In my case, I continued combing the cat every day (she loves it), vacuuming every few days. The number of fleas eventually dropped dramatically until I was finding virtually none. Don't judge your treatment by whether you see live fleas after the treatments. Be persistent and give the process time to work. IT can take weeks before being completely Flea-Free!

I bought this after noticing some fleas in the house, and it’s been pretty effective. The spray is easy to use, and it doesn’t have an overwhelming chemical smell like some other flea treatments. I used it on carpets, furniture, and a few pet areas (but not directly on my pets, since it’s meant for surfaces), and after a couple of days, I started seeing fewer fleas. It does take a little time to work, so don’t expect instant results. You’ll probably need to reapply in problem areas, especially if you’re dealing with a bigger infestation. It also helps to vacuum regularly to get rid of any lingering eggs. Overall, this is a solid flea treatment for the home. It’s not a miracle spray, but if you use it consistently along with other flea prevention methods, it definitely makes a difference.

product is fine and will buy again locally but was not packed well and half had leaked out

SO effective. Protects against SO much more than fleas and ticks. Repurchasing for 6th time. I use this also to prevent ants around my dogs food mat. Make sure not to get in their food bowls though! :) * I have never received a defective spray nozzle, whereas a different brand (main competitor- blue spray bottle) I have never received a spray nozzle that worked properly, it was more expensive, and white liquid. This product is not thick and white, it is a light spray. *This sprayer has the “twist” cap with off, stream, and wide spray options, which I appreciate. I spray all fabric, bedding, carpet, soft surfaces in my home on a regular basis, and have never had any issue with staining or fabric damage. Side Notes: to be clear, these are not “cons” to me. * If you accidentally get it on hard floor, it can be slippery. For example, if you’re spraying an area rug or a kitchen rug that is on a hardwood floor or tile, and some of the spray gets around it on the hard surface, wipe up the excess. It’s a liquid. This is a fabric spray… and I just mean wipe it with the paper towel, so the floor isn’t actually wet. If the floor is dry, it’s not slippery. I feel like this is a “caution, coffee is hot” type of warning. Common sense: wet floor = slippery. * You are purchasing a product with pesticide in it. That’s why it’s effective. The smell doesn’t linger, but if you’re expecting it to come out smelling like your favorite Febreze, you have unrealistic expectations. It doesn’t smell bad, and the other brand I mentioned earlier in my review is worse on the scent level, in my opinion. If you are looking for an all natural, essential oil kind of deal, you probably won’t be happy with this, but I guarantee it will not be as effective as this either. This product protects up to seven months in the FUTURE. An all natural product is not going to do that.. :) My dogs are on monthly flea and tick treatment so I do not use this as the main flea control in my household. They do however love to roll in the grass and sunbathe. I like to cuddle with them and nothing else they bring inside, lol. This works for that.
