Indoor Flea Kit - Questions & Answers

Laminate floors do not need to be sprayed with any products; they simply need to be vacuumed, very thoroughly, every day for the next couple of weeks. All upholstered furniture, rugs and carpets can be vacuumed then sprayed with Ultracide. Flea stoppers can be applied to all rugs and carpets to help control developing fleas. Outdoors, you can use Onslaught and Martins IGR sprayed onto moist shady areas and areas where you suspect animals may have spent a lot of time resting. We have put Onslaught and Martins IGR together in an Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit for your convenience.

Ultracide is a very safe and effective flea control product that is used widely by professional companies such as Terminix and Orkin in homes with children and pets all the time. You should only apply this product to carpeted areas and upholstered areas.  Do not apply on top of couches and chairs where people rest their arms, fleas do not breed in these areas.  You would want to spray around the foot of the furniture, and underneath couch cushions.  You should have children and pets in another room while you are treating.  After treatment, allow 30 minutes to dry and then it is perfectly safe for children and pets to re-enter the room. Please refer to the Indoor Flea Control Article for additional information.

Foggers and atomizers are not good for fleas at all.  We sell an indoor flea kit that is the best for fleas indoors.  You must use an IGR (insect growth regulator) for fleas which you cannot use in a fogger or atomizer.  Our kit is the best option for indoors as it is the same professional products professional companies use.  The most important part of any flea treatment is vacuuming.  You should vacuum before treating and then again every couple days after your treatment.  You should also treat again in exactly 14 days.  There is enough product in our indoor flea kit to treat an average size house twice.  We also carry an outdoor/indoor flea kit that works great for the inside and outside of your home. This kit contains a liquid concentrate and an IGR (insect growth regulator). It is applied using a one gallon hand pump sprayer. When treating the outside, we recommend that you mow your lawn one to two days prior to the application.

You should thoroughly vacuum every square inch of floor and all of the upholstered furniture. All upholstered furniture and pet resting areas should be treated with Ultracide. If you have pets that go outdoors, then moist shady areas and other places where the pets may rest should be treated using products such as Tengard SFR and Martins IGR together. You should continue to vacuum indoors everyday for the next 14 days and expect to need to retreat at the end of that period. Severe infestations may also require a third treatment.

The Ultracide can be applied to most surfaces including hard floor coverings, carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture and other pet resting areas (please test small inconspicuous area on hardwood flooring to be sure staining will not be a problem). Flea Stoppers can be applied to rugs and carpets only because if it is applied to hard flooring surfaces it can be slippery and cause you to fall. You should vacuum all areas prior to the application of either product.

The Indoor Flea Kit contains Ultracide which is an aerosol spray that can be applied to carpets, upholstered furniture and the pets resting areas. You should vacuum immediately before applying the Ultracide and every other day for the next 14 days for the best results. The kit also contains Flea Stoppers which is a granulated boric acid product that will fall to the bottom of the nap of carpets where fleas are most likely to develop. Developing flea larvae will actually feed on organic matter that has now been coated with Flea Stoppers. Since Flea Stoppers falls to the bottom of the carpet nap, it will not be vacuumed up like a dust product such as Diatomaceous Earth. Your pets will need to be treated with a product that is labeled for use on pets such as Petcor or a product that you get from your veterinarian.

We do not recommend that you use any type of insecticide product on a pregnant or lactating dog. The best thing you can do for fleas on your pregnant dog is to bathe her with a dish detergent such as Dawn that has been diluted with water. Let the diluted soap sit on your dog for about 5-10 minutes. Rinse her thoroughly, then go to work with a flea comb. Drop fleas that have been combed out of her coat into a cup soapy water. Wash or replace all of her bedding and vacuum all carpeted areas frequently. You can treat all carpeted areas with Ultracide to help get rid of any fleas that are infesting the house (your dog must be removed from the area that is being treated) and Flea Stoppers to help keep the fleas gone. There are some topical products such as Frontline, that are labeled for use on pregnant dogs, but you should consult with your veterinarian to be sure it is safe for your dog.

Most folks use the Ultracide for treating basements infested with fleas. Be sure to vacuum thoroughly before you apply the Ultracide. You will need to do a repeat treatment after 14 days to get rid of any stragglers.

Yes. As long as the Ultracide is completely dry and the Flea Stoppers has been properly applied, there should not be any problem with the children sleeping on the floor.

Hopefully the flea problem is not below the carpet in the base flooring…..that is the worst situation where carpet has to be removed to get rid of the problem.  But this rarely happens and the indoor flea control kit will usually take care of it.  Just read the instructions carefully and make sure you vacuum thoroughly and treat at least twice, 14 days apart. 

Good Luck!
