My dogs would not eat this product.Have heard this is good for dogs but this brand was useless to me.

My dogs have never had fleas. I've used Brewer'sYeast tabs on them since they were about two years old. They are now 11 and 10.

I'd imagine that if you can see the fleas this should kill them on contact. I needed it for carpet. Fleas kept cycling. This the only thing that works.

It's been a while but It really cleared everything in a few days. We haven't seen a flea since. Good luck. It's such a pain but this stuff worked very quickly.

I bathed my 15 pound white dog and waited 24 hours to apply the Advantage. Two days after I applied it, I picked 25 fleas off of her. The next day I picked another 10 off. So it did not work for my particular dog. I went to the vet and he said that the fleas are becoming resistant and that's why many vets are using Revolution, Capstar, Comfortis, and NexGard. I also used the Advantage spray in my yard and it was somewhat effective. The best luck I've had with fleas is with the Zodiac line. I've used the flea shampoo and the carpet/drape/furniture spray. Got those products here on Amazon and they both worked great. Will try the yard spray soon. Good luck! I bathed my 15 pound white dog and waited 24 hours to apply the Advantage.

Hi Julie-I started in mid July which is right smack in flea season. My kittens scratched a few times during that month and as I gave them their "treats" the scratching has gone. Now we are coming into autumn there are way less fleas but I still give them their treats

I had 1 for a small 1 story house. I did not trap any fleas...the light needed replaced after 4-5 days and the port that the bulb screwed into got very warm to hot. I felt a waste of money as it served as a nightlight. I did catch a mouse which prompted me to toss the whole unit.

In my experience it takes less than 20 minutes before you feel the effect. I also found it works better when used with a antihistamine rather than by itself. I take a antihistamine once and then two doses of Rootology during the day and this seems to work fine! I hope this helps!

I know it kills fleas within seconds. might be the same for ticks. We do not have ticks here

I don't think so it doesn't even work for fleas. I wouldn't think it works for ticks.

My sister and I have found these work a lot longer than 8 months! I would keep it on and keep checking for evidence of fleas.

No. Will need some flea specific bug killer. FabriClear may work for about one week and you will probably need to use a large amount.$$

It works great except if you already have fleas it takes a couple (or three) applications. Of course I get eaten so I also get impatient. It isn't immediate. Once yhey are all dead it does seem to work for 3 months. It does leave a residue on the carpet so I end up cleaning them at least twice a year. If you are in an appartment you may not have to clean them as often. This is the only product that has really worked for me.

We just rubbed it generously in their fur. especially in the neck area. Give them a good bath and completely dry them first. You'll want to apply it to carpets and furniture as well. It's not a "quick fix" but it'll keep working as long as it's being used. DE works by getting under the exoskeleton of fleas and cutting them. It also works as a drying agent, drying them out, killing them. Good luck!

I don't know the exact answer to that, but our vet told us that any flea medicine can take up to 3 months. This is because of the life cycle of fleas. If you kill adults, they may have already laid eggs which cannot be killed until the eggs hatch, etc.

It usually takes about 15-20 minutes to effect. And then it's effect lasts for an hour.

I have no idea how to answer this question about your anamial. I use it on cats. I have to soak, sort of, my cats and then product works instantally on infected anamials. Once the cats are treated, spray Adams around your home as you would spray fly spray. Do that fonce a week for a few weeks or more and you will be flea free?
