"I read the comments and there was one where it explained what to do vacuum first then put the powder on the floor wait 2 hours then vacuum again. This really worked I was a bit sceptical for it to work prior to that comment but after trying it it really helped I have not seen any fleas in the carpet..."

— MegaMom

"We had a flea outbreak with all of animals and in our house. Used this and it didn't get rid of the fleas. We even used it incorrectly and used it multiple times in a two week period. Still had fleas in the carpet. We were locking the animals out too."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a moderately priced flea and tick powder, this could be a good choice, but be prepared for potential variances in effectiveness and packaging issues.
