How do you recommend using this for indoor flea infestation in a home with all wood floors and some area rugs?

Is a mister best? Can the product be sprayed on area rugs? Dogs and yard have already been treated.

Answer:

Essentria IC3 is labeled for sensitive surfaces such as fabric, wood floors, etc. It is typically applied with a hand pump sprayer.  Per the product label, when treating for fleas, "Dilute at the rate of up to 0.5 to 6 fluid ounces of Essentria IC3 per gallon of water (use lower rate for maintenance service and higher rates for active infestations). Thoroughly spray non-visible areas where these insects are usually found with special attention to cracks and crevices, niches, dark corners, drains and other harborage sites." Test a small non-visible area first before spraying and be sure to follow all label instructions. It would also be a good idea to take a look at our Flea Control Guide if you have not already done so.
