Will this work to prevent flea bites?

It worked for me when I was in a house that was /incredibly/ flea infested. They swarmed up almost the second I stepped in the door, I turned around and went back to my car and sprayed myself thoroughly. Didn't get another bite the whole six or more hours I was there. (Previous renter got chewed out by her mom (my step mom) for leaving the house like that too.)

It's waterproof and works great on mosquitoes and sand gnats (very important in coastal areas). But I don't know if it's preventing flea bites or if we're just lucky in avoiding them otherwise.

It's not made for application on dogs or cats. The bottle lists fleas. My experience with this product would suggests it's for outdoor flying bugs only and even with them you must use a lot and often.

Yes but it's not for your dog or cat. You should use cedar oil solution for your pets.

I wouldn't use just that for the protection. It's summer here in Texas and it is the worst time for flea. I use comfortis and haven't see a single flea.

I have six outdoor cats that wear the Seresto collar and it works great, only one of my cats ever lost a collar and that was last year so far this year all have kept it on. I have never seen a flea or tick on any of them. And they all tested negative for worms so I believe the collars are keeping them from getting bitten. Hope this helps

There is nothing that I can find on the box that indicates that it will work on fleas... And as far as I know we do not have a problem with fleas. That's not to say that the collar may be helping in that area as well. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it has the same effect on fleas as it does with the ticks... but that's my opinion. Hope I was of some help to you!

Can't say really. I bombed the place for fleas and it was pretty effective. The fleas came back at one point, but it is really hard to keep them out anyways. But it was many months. Can't say that is because it lasted for that long though.

http://www.cedarcidestore.com/natural_pest_control.html There's a video and the instructions for dilution. We've used this product to fight fleas in our yard/garden stones area. It WORKS! :-) We also saw a decrease in ticks!

Yes, easily. The sticky pad is wide open for touching. There is another flea trap on Amazon called Springstar and I would recommend that one instead. It has a grate over the sticky pad so it's far more kid friendly.

Honestly cannot answer this as our dog did not have fleas, just ticks. Once I applied it to our dog, within hours she went outside and to play with the kids and came back without any ticks.

Hi Julie! I used it for over a month and it didn't seem to do anything for fleas. Maybe it will work for you, I have heard that it works for other people's pets.

Wow, this is a flea product, I have no idea why you would think it would prevent bed bugs. Sorry!!

It definitely works to deter fleas & tics, and it will kill tics within about 12 hours of application; I can't speak to ending a current flea infestation. My dog hates the spray bottle though, so I apply pour some into a smaller container and rub her down with it.

Sadly, No. The teeth are close together to get the smallest little flea buggers!! It would just pull on the skin too much for Ticks & cause pain.

I read that was just an old wives tale. I use it to help her skin from being too dry & give her a shinier coat. For fleas & ticks I use Trifexis. 1 chewable tablet once a month. Haven't seen a flea or tick in years.

No you need to use a good flea product.This is for Ticks only & it works very well I change it every 6 months.

I found it to be very helpful repelling biting insects. It also relieved the itch of existing bites. Hope it works as well for you.

Capstar does not prevent fleas from returning. You can read more about it here: http://www.medi-vet.com/Capstar.html

I don't have any pets at home but I did read somewhere that essential oils such as lavender oil can help as a flea repellant. Pests and insects do not like the smell of essential oils so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just to be on the safe side you should contact your vet just to make sure.
