It works!
May 1, 2009
Verified Purchase
I'm crazy about this stuff, I have owned several cats that wander outside in the sandy woods and then bring the fleas inside. I could never really get a handle on the problem, and tried several flea collar/drops to try and control things. Once I tried Flea Stoppers, in a few short weeks the problem started to subside and with regular usage...no more fleas!

Only thing that works for me!
September 27, 2010
I had a horrific flea problem both in and out of the house. My two dogs were suffering; it was awful. I tried everything. When nothing worked, I found this product - Flea Stoppers - online and applied it on the carpet and furniture as directed. I knew it would take a few days to start working and so I also purchased powdered diatomaceous earth and carefully applied this to the dogs at the same time. Within three weeks my flea problem was totally solved. I didn't see another flea for several years, and when they did return, I nipped it in the bud with another application of Flea Stoppers. Flea Stoppers is great and my mobile groomer was so impressed by the results that she recommends it to all her customers, who have also experienced the same great results that I have. Be patient and you won't be disappointed. It's not a fluke that it worked twice for me with a total elimination of every single flea in my house!

This stuff works but not for a quick fix
August 24, 2010

I've used this product twice now in two different homes and it has eradicated the flea problem both times. I wouldn't recommend it if you need to rid your flea problem overnight. This is a more natural way to get rid of fleas compared to harsh chemicals but it does require some patience. The second time I used this product, I steam cleaned my carpet BEFORE applying the product. Steam cleaning is not necessary but I had just moved into a new house so it was necessary. I didn't steam clean the first time I used this product and it worked just as well.

I am a dachshund breeder & have 19 dogs. They have the run of 10 and 1/2 acres much of the day. They have a great opportunity of picking up fleas from squirrels, etc. on the property. I have found that Flea Stoppers along with the topical flea applications on the dogs has made a big difference in my flea problem. Thank you Flea Stoppers! I am sure that I will be a repeat customer in the future because of my large amount of dogs.

Hmmm
October 26, 2011
Looked at this product as I have an indoor cat & wanted to use a product that was safe for both cat & family. First 4 reviews read showed 5 stars & had me excited even thou more recent reviews didn't exactly promote product as well. Ordered & it came quickly so I was excited to tackle our flea infestation. Read directions & used as directed (as 1 other reviewer indicated, labeling doesn't make it sound as safe for pets & crawling babies as what you read. Since I had already paid the $, I went ahead & still decided to use but it does concern me about the safety of the ingredients). Waited the full suggested 7 days before vacuuming again. Meantime still had major flea issue as I would walk the carpets with white socks & still get them jumping on me & biting! Went so far as to put the powder in a zip lock bag & placed a live flea in it. That stinker lived for over a week jumping around & crawling through it with no signs of slowing down. While waiting for this product to rid us of fleas, I went to petsmart & bought 3 cans of an IRG spray. It has been the only thing to kills these bastards quickly! (I thought I had been patient long enough. Btw, I also had a test baggie with a hertz flea collar & the flea I placed in that one SAT & hung out on the collar that was said to be effective for 7 months!). Maybe the fleas in So. Cal are immune to powders & collars but those products didn't seem to work. Also buy the spray that this company offers. They do ship their products quickly but running to your local pet store will also supply you with what I feel is the only thing that kills fleas on contact immediately (I also sprayed the baggies because I was so fed up & frustrated after watching these fleas still living after a week). I'd also go out & buy a dyson vacuum or similar if you don't have one already. It's a worthwhile investment as you will be vacuuming everyday to rid your home of these buggers. If you can't afford one, borrow one.

Extensive flea experience!
March 16, 2012
I had to respond after another reviewer said they used "Fleabusters" successfully, but wasn't successful with this product.
Hate to burst their bubble, but I used "Fleabusters" service years ago, and it was VERY successful... because they'd treated my 7K sf Victorian at a cost of around $400, they admitted to me that their "magic product" was only boric acid powder!
At the molecular level, boric acid is shaped like shards of glass. The reason it works is that it cuts into the hard exterior shell of insects and eggs, then, because it is a dessicant (drying agent), sucks all of the fluid out of them. Voila! No more roaches, fleas, etc.
I used to be able to buy boric acid at WallyWorld, but can't find it anymore. We just noticed a couple of fleas inside, and this product turned up. If it's genuinely a powder (not granules), I guarantee it will work. The key is making sure it's in every crack and crevice so that none of the adults, larvae, or eggs escape.

Flea Stoppers worked well. It had no bad effect on our dogs health. It was a little messy for the first week or so. After we put it down we had no more issues. We followed the directions and it did what it said it would do.

Flea Stoppers Label
October 20, 2011
Verified Purchase
I did not use this product because of the warnings on the label. When I read write ups and watched the instruction video the same warnings were not mentioned. I would have returned but since we were having a problem with fleas, I did not. I was busy trying to find out what to do to become flealess. It is still sitting in the box. Basically children and pets or anyone else should not come in contact with the product and it needs to be left on the carpet for a week. Ok if you are going away. Canister states that if it comes in contact with your skin, clothing or you inhale the powder CALL a POISON control center. I guess you need a gas mask to apply.

Helps maybe but does not stop
July 14, 2010
I had a flea problem last year so I purchased this powder to use as a preventative this year. I put the product down on April 15th (well before flea season in MN) and in mid-May I received a few flea bites (maybe a total of five so not a lot). I didn't wait to let the problem get out of hand again so we used an exterminator right away. Since then things have been pretty good but I don't think I can really credit Flea Stoppers as being a once a year product because it did not prevent fleas from getting to me. Who knows, maybe if I'd waited the fleas would have died on their own and I'd only see the occasional flea/bite but I didn't want to risk it.

I have used this product before and swear by it! I have indoor cats and the first time I used it years ago, by getting rid of all the fleas in the carpet, it got rid of all the fleas on the kitties too!

the only thing I iwll ever use
January 12, 2012
this stuff is fantastic. It says powder but it is actually granules, so no mess. I have 8 grandkids and pets crawling around and i shook this stuff into the furniture, between the mattresses around the edges of hard floors under dressers and into closets, fleas were gone. it is harmless to humans, and for the most part to pets as well. i put it in the dogs bed. never had another bug in my house again. no smells, no tearing the house apart to spray, no fog and opening cabinets and cheaper than anything else on the market and even though it doesn;t say it kilss everything, it really does. It is only good for indoors though. I wish I had found this stuff years ago.

Thank you Mom!

My mother turned me on to this back in December. After 3 weeks, we were free of fleas and I haven't seen any since. We live in NC and were constantly fighting them until we found Flea Stoppers. We have 3 in/out cats and a dog.

Amazing
August 21, 2012
This stuff is just AMAZING! We have 2 dogs a lab and a shorkie in Florida. We had such a mild winter that the fleas and other pests are out in full force this summer. We have used this stuff before 6 years ago when we were infested and were actually suprised to see fleas on our pets because we have went so long without having to worry about them at all. We figured out the problem, we took out all of the carpet that had been treated 6 years ago so I bought some more treated, and are again pest free. This is a MUST for anyone who has dogs!

Yeah! Something that finally worked!!!
September 12, 2012
The flea products I purchased through Do My Own Pest Control worked. I found Do My Own Pest Control looking for flea products on Amazon. They carry products that work. Forget the products at your local stores, such as grocery, Home Depot or Walmart. You're wasting your money. I spread this on my carpet after taking in a foster cat with fleas and having multiple animals. This with topical applications for my pets and the ultracide spray finally took care of the problem. I have flea traps out with attractant and it's so nice to see them empty.

Worked in my house for 3 years. Did take up to 4-6 weeks for flea cycle, but you could still tell the decrease in that time period. Follow the directions, treat your pet. You won't be disappointed. Great product for the money as well!!!
