"This product is great, no issues encountered."
"I sprayed my yard and screened in patio 3 days ago and I am still getting fleas off of cats. I believe I combed them all off the night after I sprayed. Two days later and it seemed like they had more fleas on them. I sprayed a second time with a different chemical. Anyone else had any failures?"
