Onofre from Chicago, Il writes

I have a big flea problem. My first floor is wood, and my second floor is carpeted.

I fogged with hotshot for fleas on both floors and basement, and I bought Phantom IGR. What is the best way to use this product?

Answer:

Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is an adulticide only, not an IGR, and it is not labeled for fleas.  We would recommend using a product called Nyguard Plus instead, which contains both an insecticide and an IGR.  It can take multiple treatments and lots of vacuuming in between treatments to completely eradicate a flea infestation.  Hard floor surfaces do not need to have products broadcast over them, as they are not habitable for adult fleas. Instead, you should direct the treatment to cracks and crevices around these rooms and in the floors.  Please take a look at our Flea Control Guide for more tips and information on how to do a complete treatment.
