Customer Reviews for PT Ultracide Pressurized Flea Insecticide

Natural treatments weren't working for us, so we decided to pull out the big guns and use Ultracide. I think it was worth it. We did our best to follow the instructions and vacuum at least every other day, plus move furniture to spray and vacuum everywhere. I also sprayed under the cushions on my couches. It took a while for the fleas to stop showing up, so I was beginning to wonder if the spray would work. But finally, near the end of the first two weeks, they were all gone. We did spray one more time to make sure they were totally gone, but since we've just moved into a house out of the once-flea-infested apartment, only the next tenant will know for sure that Ultracide works in the long term.

May 2012, I treated my cat w/topical treatment and I used (2) cans of this in my 1100 sq ft apt and on day 2 there were no more fleas. Since this miracle has happened I now keep my cat INSIDE. To this day April 2013 I have had NO more fleas.

This really works. We tried several products to rid fleas from Home Depot and pet store but nothing worked. I brought this product and finally the fleas were gone. Saw a few the first day but after that nothing. Strongly recommend.

I just bought a property in FL and right after i moved in realized I had a flea infestation as soon as the weather started warming up. My poor dog was being tormented they were so bad. I used PT Ultracide spray inside and then repeated the spraying after a week. I also used SC Suspend on the yard since the fleas seemed to be everywhere. After vacuuming daily for 2 weeks and the spraying I finally got rid of the fleas. Hopefully this problem doesn't repeat itself every spring. Both products do exactly what they are supposed to do. FLEA free finally.

Does it work? Hell yes it does! I have a two story home thats mostly carpeted. I've got two dogs and two cats and live in a climate that is ideal for fleas all year round. I've tried some other products to kill the infestation in my home, but the fleas kept coming back. I ordered the Ultracide because a friend of mine that makes a living as an exterminator recommended it. He actually used it in my old house in NJ and it worked great. This was my first time doing it myself and it was easy. Just follow the simple instructions.

Icky partry beetles that seemed to be in the millions are all gone! Only one week after treatment and only a few dead ones found on inspection. A little smelly at first but dissipates in a few hour. Not greasy and does not leave noticible residue on hard surfaces.

IF ONLY I HAD ORDERED ULTRACIDE IN THE BEGINNING I WOULD HAVE SAVED MYSELF SO MUCH PAIN AND WORK. We went through 2 months of pure hell with fleas, working ourselves to death with spraying & Vacuuming several times a day. We had the traps out to indicate our general success or failure but I was really the indicator because I must have the sweet blood according to the bites I received. We went through 1 gallon plus 2 cans of various sprays purchased at local retail/home improvement centers with no success. I was so frustrated that I finally ordered Ultracide. I did the prep vacuum & sprayed. We had immediate results. I only used 2/3 of the can for my home with the remainder saved for backup. My flea traps only had 2 fleas the next day and none since. It has been 3 weeks with no fleas. I no longer wear knees socks in the house. It is sheer heaven. I can't explain my relief at not itching or having new scars from the bites really means to me. Another plus was - there was no major odor from the spray. That chemical smell is horrible & Ultracide didn't have that smell. It does have a tiny odor but nothing like the other sprays. I was also impressed at the force the spray came out of the can. I felt like it was getting deep into the carpets, sofa cushions and places the eggs and fleas hide. This sprayer is so strong that it penetrated into the nooks, cranny's & fibers. With the other sprays I had to bend over to be close enough for the spray to get into the carpet. That might not be a problem for some but it killed my back and osteoarthritis. No bending over with this product. I must stress, spray your yard, home & vacuum as described in the steps to rid yourself of fleas. Our neighborhood was overrun with them and the people were the carriers from the outside to the inside, not the animals. Many of my neighbors had the pest control trucks in front of their homes and I understand that Ultracide is what they used. My traps consisted of a tube pan filled with water & a teaspoon of Dawn. In the center of the tube we put solar lamps that were extras from our walkway outside. It put out the exact amount of light at night to draw the fleas & the center of the tube was small and the stick fit in perfectly. This worked as good as purchased traps. We got the tube pans from the thrift store and only spent $3 for 4 of them. Within 1 day of Ultracide our traps went from 20-30 fleas each to only 2 in the entire group.

When I saw the first flea in my house I was horrified. I found about 15 more that evening and more daily after that. I felt like I had fleas crawling all over me, in my sleep, sitting and watching tv, it gave me the creepy crawlies. I had used pest control from the major warehouse stores, that claimed to kill fleas, and maybe they killed the adult ones, but then the eggs would hatch and I would see more. I was so paranoid, I didn't want anyone in my home for fear that they would have fleas jump on them. I ordered Ultracide after reading gobs of reviews, figured I would give it a try. After the first spraying I noticed a decrease in fleas, and thought that my problems were over but ended up having to spray a few more times. I have hardwood floors so it took some time for the mist to settle into the cracks and crevices and kill all the little buggers but after about 6 weeks I didn't see any more. So my overanxious brain has been able to settle down, flea free in my home, finally. Also, for my pets, I highly recommend Revolution over any other product. It seems to be the only one that is effective anymore.

Worked excellent to kill fleas. I bought this product because it is exactly what Terminex charged me $250.00 for. Took 3 treatments (one week apart) to kill all of them, very happy with product

I live in FL and although my 3 cats are all indoor, my grass gets flooded with fleas and they usually get in my house from me after walking in the grass. This was my 3rd year using Ultracide and I will continue to use it because it is the ONLY product I have ever used that kills all the fleas and keeps them away. I have recommended the product to several friends and they have all had the same experience as me. You need to kill the fleas on the animals at the same time you treat the carpet. I have always used Capstar and it works great, but trying to give them each a pill isn't always the easiest to do. I was just reading about Petcor Flea Spray and will probably try that next time I need to treat. I'm pretty sure I won't need to treat them again for another year when the fleas get in the house from me. Ultracide is the BEST product out there.

We have indoor cats and normally do not have a flea problem, but somehow our cats ended up with fleas. I vacuumed and treated the cats, but the problem did not fully go away. We decided to treat the carpet and see if that helped. We ordered this product from Do My Own Pest Control. So glad I did! My order arrived quickly and I treated the carpet that same day. I have not seen a flea since! It has been a life saver for us. I HIGHLY recommend this product and Do My Own Pest Control.

Let me be brutally honest. I have a few pets. And man the fleas would pull up a darn chair and watch tv with me. I tried countless and countless products. My brother gave me ultracide one day. I was why not. And havent seen a flea for 10 months. Great product.

First - want to say that PT Ultracide rocks and so does DMO Pest Control. I just had a little flea pop-up a full 9 months after quashing a heavy infestation. Ugh! Crap! Luckily I had a bit of a can of Ultracide left, so I could immediately zap the little buggers and lay down some more IGR in case these late bloomers dropped a few eggs. Sent away to DMOPC for two more cans post-haste that evening, and appreciated the quick delivery. Some tips for everyone: (1) follow the instructions, you just need a light spray on carpets, and under seat cushions on upholstered furniture. (2) Don't forget to spray the underside of your couch - learned this the first time. (3) You do NOT have to throw out your vacuum bag. I checked several County Extension sites affiliated with universities, and they say they USED to believe this, but now know it is not necessary. I still see lots of bad "throw it out" advice out there. Save yourself money and headaches and just keep vacuuming. (4) Move as much furniture as you can when you vacuum - that's a hiding place for fleas. Those $10 sliders at the hardware store will make this much easier. Consider stacking some furniture out of the way for two weeks so you aren't pushing it around every time. My local pest company FAILED to get rid of my fleas the first go-round (and second go-round) and I think the permethrin they sprayed damaged the finish on some of my wood furniture. It was Ultracide that did the trick. Easy to use, doesn't smell bad or perfumely and is very effective when you follow the directions. Have hope!

Purchased Ultracide in this aerosol to use on the dog's bed area. It works great, nothing to mix or clean, just spray the pet's sleeping locations when you step out for a short walk. If they bring any fleas in, when they return to their bed Ultracide will be ready & waiting.

In December we had a bad flea breakout in the house and on the cats even though the cats do not go outside. We finally called a pest company and they treated the inside of the house and they used Ultracide. It is safe for pets and people, AFTER it dries, so you need to keep everyone out of the treated room until dry. I found Ultracide at DoMyOwnPestControl and ordered it. I received it timely and used per the directions. We only have carpet in one small room and hardwoods in the rest of the house. It is safe to use on hardwoods too. The can will last a while as you only spray a mist on the areas you are treating. It also kills cock roaches. We like it and will continue to order it from DMOPC instead of calling a best company. The pest company charged $125 just to treat inside the house so this saves me some bucks too, especially since I don't have the $$ to pay a pest company.

We have had a problem with fleas. Our neighbor "bombed" her apartment and sent all her fleas to us. We tried other products before trying Ultracide with no luck, but since we have used Ultracide our flea problem has just about disappeared! But just using this product alone will not cure your flea problem. We Ultracide used in combination with Frontline for our pets, and vacuuming everyday for a couple of weeks straight just to make sure we got all the fleas and eggs out. I highly recommend this product to anyone that has a problem with fleas.

This product works so well. I literally purchased approx. $200 worth of useless products before finding Ultracide at Do My Own Pest Control. I called and spoke with Jill, she was WONDERFUL! She told me that she uses Ultracide and had had great results. I purchased a can (didn't go as far as stated on can) and saw a noticeable difference IMMEDIATELY! I would recommend this product to anyone that is having a flea problem. I have intentions on buying a few more cans to have just in case these little buggers return.

I have purchased this before and it work's! I have an old dog, and cannot use some other products on her, or around her, but this does work! If they made a flea collar with this-I'd buy it!

Our tiny carpeted apartment was infested with fleas. We first tried Diatomaceous Earth (recommendation from local all-natural pet store and great online reviews) but D.E. was like baby powder and it dusted everything in the apartment, too messy and little results (found many live fleas inside the vacuum days after). We then tried Precor IGR to disrupt eggs/larvae but it doesnt kill adult fleas so we combined that with PT Ultracide and boy did it do the job!!! Almost a week of this combination, we had zero fleas trapped in our flea trap and none jumping on my legs (as opposed to trapping over a dozen a night in our traps before applying Precor IGR and PT Ultracide). Even though I did a combination of products, I would recommend first using PT Ultracide and then use Precor IGR if you think you need more/faster help. Lay out flea traps too (dish plate with soapy water under a night light) to gauge flea activity, it really works.

I bought a few other products from the pet store and they didn't work. I went online and read the reviews about PT Ultracide and they were all good. The product was shipped out really quick. It works great! I sprayed the whole house and so far so good. I also had to put flea treatment on my cat and dog so the combination has been working.

Did the job. No adverse effects and most of all No fleas. Get the buggers off your dog and this product will get them out of your house. Most important to keep vacuuming the house and you'll be free of fleas.
