"works great. Have 11 chihuahua dogs and noticed a definite decrease in fleas, and I am not a breeder, during covid we took in some small dogs people could no longer take care of and we fell in love with them and couldnt give them up."

β€” Karen

"After really reading the ingredients and directions saying to throw your clothes away after spraying, I am appalled that chewy would even sell such products!!! I want to return but can’t see where I can. I have been a member of chewy for a few years and now I am highly disappointed"

Bottom Line

The product is effective for flea and tick control in yards and could be a good choice if used appropriately, but there are significant issues around safety and reliability.
