"pretty good treatment but it works in a different way, i sprayed it on a few fleas and it knocked them down right after i sprayed them, i put them in a container to see if they were really dead, and they came back to life and then died 15 minutes later. as long as it worked is all that mattered."
"I could not use this product. I could not nor could my husband get the sprayer to work so I returned it. There is no reason they could not make it more customer friendly as the ingredients seemed so good."
Bottom Line
Hartz Nature's Shield Cat Spray may not be the most effective or convenient solution for flea control in cats. If you are okay mixing, you don't want it smelling strongly and want a louder noise just go this product. Users are likely to encounter issues with the sprayer and the product may not work as intended.
