Last Friday I thoroughly vacuumed my carpet multiple times before I applied the flea stopper. I applied the product last Friday and limited contact with the room, and actually no one has been in room for over 3 days. I checked to see if the flea problem was gone today and it seems to have gotten worse. More fleas jump on my bare feet than before. I even applied double amount than should have. What is going on? Does this product not work?
Fleas are a prolific and tricky pest to treat, so successful treatments may take anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on many factors. While Flea Stoppers will kill fleas, the mode of action is slow, so using only this product will take much longer than using it in conjunction with knockdown sprays and Insect Growth Regulators, such as those found in our Indoor Flea and Tick Kit. Flea Stoppers also should be brushed into carpets and rugs with a broom or stiff bristle brush. Skipping this step will greatly decrease the efficacy of Flea Stopper. If a room with fleas is left empty for several days, and then there is suddenly activity, this activity will stir dormant fleas, often creating the illusion that there are more fleas than previously thought. Please take a few moments to read our Flea Treatment Guide, and let us know if you have further questions.
