Virbac Knockout E.S. Flea/Tick Spray

Veterinarian / Mom approved
I've been recommending this stuff to my clients for the last 13 years. Used it myself recently for the first time. Worked great! Just carefully follow the directions on the can. Do not use on your pets! MAKE SURE to use an appropriate flea/tick control agent on your pet. If your pet is out in a yard regularly, treat the yard with an appropriate yard spray as well.

Fleas are tough to get rid of. You have to treat the indoor environment, outdoor environment, and the pet at the same time. Fleas, like butterflies, make a cocoon before emerging as a disease spreading, allergy creating, anemia causing pest. The sprays one weakness is that it can't penetrate the cocoon. Pupated fleas can take up to seven months to hatch. You need to have flea control on your pet(s) to kill these new fleas as they emerge.

Vacuuming frequently will encourage hatching. The vibration causes hatching. These hatching fleas do not mean that this product has failed. These new fleas...
Decent flea spray
I used this spray last summer to control a heavy flea infestation, and I purchased it again, so I would say I am reasonably happy with it.

Pros:

It doesn't have a horrible odor, and what it does have, goes away quickly.
It's more non-toxic than most flea sprays
It is supposed to control fleas for 6 months.
One can does about 4 rooms with heavy spraying.
I liked the aerosol can much better than a "bomb" type, because you can get under things, however, then you inevitably breathe in some of the product.

Cons:

You really want to HEAVILY CLEAN before spraying. You also want to spray every surface, including under beds and couches. If you don't do this, you aren't going to get all the fleas.
Fleas will still be seen for a while after using this product. It kills them, but new ones hatch, and then it takes awhile for the breeding cycle to get interrupted. Don't be dismayed.
OF COURSE you want to get your animals...
NO MIRACLE HERE!
Went to my mothers house for dinner. Her living room rug was loaded with fleas. Got the virbac and sprayed the carpet. Not a flea was jumping afterwards. The following Sunday though, the fleas were back. Honestly, I think she just had a major infestation. She ended up calling a professional service. They treated, but the following Sunday she still had fleas. Fleas are extremely hard to get rid of. A one-time treatment does not work. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Zodiac Carpet & Upholstery Pump Spray, 24-ounce

WORKS LIKE MAGIC!- Veterinarian Review
I've used this product for years. It has 2 main ingredients. The first one kills live fleas and the second one (METHOPRENE) kills the flea EGGS! IF YOU DON'T KILL THE EGGS YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE FLEAS!
I have dogs and cats. Some reviewers wrote that its not safe for cats-NOT TRUE! The first ingredient (Permethrin) is made from the flower buds of mums. Cats find it unpleasant but it won't hurt them as long as you don't apply it on them.
Zodiac is part of a 3 stage system for killing fleas. The other 2 steps are a topical treatment (Frontline Plus with Methoprine, and Capstar. Capstar is a pill that kills ALL FLEAS ON YOUR PET without doing any harm to them at all. Capstar is used in my clinic and shelters to kill fleas on infested animals. Capstar will NOT kill eggs and only lasts 24 hrs so apply the Frontline a day before. With dogs I just put it in a piece of cheese and they eat it. Cats are fussier so you can crush the pill and mix it in their food (tuna works best) but I'm a...
This was a Godsend.
First things first, this is magic, but only one component to fix your problem. Make sure you're got collars and sprays/topical treatment for the pet(s), too (if not flea lights like Victor) to cover all areas. If you only go with one approach, it's likely you'll be going in circles.

I read aaaallll the reviews. Used Adams before and did well, but this seasons fleas were, apparently, ones where hell hath no fury in comparison.

Zodiac helped make a mountain into a mole hill. We had a nightmare on our hands, and were looking at bombing as being our last and only option.

Enter Zodiac - thoroughly sprayed on 8x5 carpet, couch, and two recliners. AS A TIP - covering all of those areas well took the entire bottle, if you're trying to gauge for your own needs.

Thinking of keeping a spare on hand, because fleas are scary in their relentlessness, and heck knows its best to beat them at first sight.
Zodiac Carpet & Upholstery pump Spray
Every have fleas in the house? This is the answer. Only product I have found that kills fleas and the eggs. Does not discolor carpet or floors. Accompanied with vacuuming, this product is a must if you ever have an in house flea problem. In face, all the Zodiac flea products do exactly as they say.
