A successful war against the Fleas!
April 25, 2010
Verified Purchase
I've never had a flea infestation with my indoor cats but this was a DOOZY. The key is using the product TWICE-- after the first "round" the fleas were almost destroyed but then they came BACK after about a week. So then you get them AGAIN and this time, they are gone for good! It's a very intense process and it's helpful to have a second person helping you. My wonderful housekeeper helped. We moved out smaller pieces of furniture and stuff out of the closets that hung close to the floor. We also took out the under bed drawers and treated under the bed. She did the initial vacuuming, then I sprayed, we went room by room. She tossed the vacuum bag then after it was dry, vacuumed each room again, then tossed the bag. After that, I used the Flea Stoppers borax granular powder (much better than using regular borax from the store b/c it's not so messy and applies easier, also it doesn't float in the air) and rubbed it into the carpet with a broom. One week after initial application, the housekeeper vacuumed up all the Flea Stoppers stuff and tossed the vacuum bag. One more week after that, we did the whole process again. We also treated the main living room couch where we all hang out. I'm not ashamed to say that all this was QUITE a workout and that it took HOURS each time. But the fleas are gone. Oh, and we took the cats out of the apt entirely and boarded them for a few days during the second treatment and shaved them down (lion cuts) b/c they are Persians and the fleas were impossible to see in their fur. I used Advantage on them a bunch of times to kill all the fleas.

Great Stuff

We used this kit and after waiting 7 days to vacuum we looked in the vacuum container and saw several dead fleas. We are happy with the results.

It works!
July 29, 2011
Verified Purchase
We had been dealing with fleas for about a month prior to ordering the indoor flea kit. We tried vacuuming twice a day, as well as a natural approach with diatomaceous earth. Neither worked. The Indoor Flea Kit sounded like a "step-up" approach we could live with.
We have 3 small children, so it was important to stay away from the bug bombs.
The process was easy, although labor intensive. It took us about four hours to take care of our 1600 sq. ft. house, including vacuuming, moving furniture, applying the powder, and spraying carpets and furniture. We moved the furniture to one side of the room, vacuumed, applied the powder, and then sprayed. We then did the same for the untreated side. Mess was minimal. There was practically no dust from the powder, and spraying close to the floor limited the mist in the air.
We used all of the powder (although I probably put it down heavier than I should have) and one bottle of the spray.
The next day, we noticed the first of several dead fleas on the hardwood area by our front door. Within 72 hours, we saw a significant decrease in the number of fleas that were on us or noticeable by us.
One week after going through the process, we saw our last flea. That was two weeks ago. We waited a total of two weeks after application before vacuuming, and we pulled a decent amount of the powder up. But there is still plenty down there taking care of any remaining eggs and larvae.
My only regret about this product is that we didn't go to it right away. It would have saved an incredible amount of aggravation and work. I highly recommend it, and will definitely use it again if I ever have the need to do so (which I hope we don't!).

Effective so far...
June 15, 2011

Flea stopper powder was easy to apply and vacuum up. It did not hurt my carpet in anyway. My pet Yorkie didn't seem to mind it and did him no harm. The fleas now congregate on the walls where I spray them with Ultracide. I also used the Ultracide on my furniture under the cushions and exterior. I did this twice one week apart and so far it works. It did not harm my fabric furniture. The only negative thing, I wish I could spray the ceiling. The spray nozzle is designed to spray down which I really like for ease of use. I would buy both products again without question.

Indoor flea kit
August 16, 2011
Verified Purchase
I purchased this product after just about giving up hope that I could find a solution for a flea infestation. The vets in my area were of no help. Their solution was call an exterminator. I do use an extermination service (mostly for nuisance pests like ants) and I did call them. Their product would require significant prep work on my part (move furniture, take beds apart etc) and I would need to leave the house with all my pets for a minimum of four hours.
This kit was not only less expensive, less work on my part and I did not have to leave the house for hours, it was also effective.
To test the effectiveness of the fleastoppers powder I combed one of my cats and obtained a live flea. I placed it on a clean light green washcloth under a circular magnifying glass (sort of like a petri dish). Then I added a pinch of the fleastoppers powder. I noted that the flea seemed quite engorged after dining on my cat.
Within a couple hours the flea was dehydrated and dead.
Suffice to say, this product works.
The ultracide has great coverage, doesn't smell bad and dries quickly. It leaves no post application odor either.
The one downside is that the powder spreads VERY easily from the cylinder. You have to be careful when applying or you will use too much.

Fleas were gone within 24 hours

Fleas were gone within 24 hours. The key is careful preparation: (a) repeated vacuuming, (b) get rid of fleas on dogs by dipping or bathing, (c) steam clean wall to wall carpet if possible. Applied according to directions, no danger to humans or pets.

Indoor Flea Kit
February 1, 2012
I read nothing but rave reviews on this product. Though my budget is extremely tight my other option was to torch my place as I had tried other products with no result. I am now in my second week after using the product and following instructions to the letter. I HOPEFULLY will see results very soon or will have no option but to move. The fleas were at bay at least until I vacuumed but now are back with a vengeance.

Indoor flea control

After using alpine flea insecticide, I no longer have any fleas in the house. One treatment and I was clear. I do plan on using a back up with the other can I purchased to make sure all the ones that hatched are killed too.

Effective but....

This product works very well. The spray was easy to use and dried faster than expected, which was nice since my dog had to be locked out until it dried. The powder even though it seem to work was very hard to work into the carpet completely. I ended up vacuuming some areas to remove what the pets could get to which you are not supposed to do. I used a push broom to try and work it in. If anyone has a better idea it work be great if they would post it here.

Great Product

Used as directed and the products worked. We are now flea free ;). Make sure you also do a pet and yard treatment to close the loop. I did and noticed signifigant improvement.

Drowning in fleas
May 6, 2012
We have vacuumed and sprayed, waited a couple of days, vacuumed and sprayed, used the powder and repeated and still the fleas are winning. I am going to have to just call Orkin. I only gave it one star because it wouldn't let me submit my review unless I did. I would have given it no stars.

Haven't used yet. I paid someone to od it professionally, and they used this product.
It drives the fleas into hiding, and every time I move somethi8ng they come out of hiding and start biting again. I don't have wall to wll carpet,but just spot rugs, so the effect is not the same as treating the carpet.
