Best household flea killer?

I recommend fiprospot for killing fleas on your pet, I used this the last time my cats & dogs had fleas (5 cats + 2 dogs ) as u can imagine if 1 gets fleas they all have to be treated, its also cheaper then frontline and very effective, i bought it from petmeds online.

atrixblue.-MFR-.

as long as the flea spray has IGR as an active ingredient johnsons is a good on i have used it and havent seen any since, it should kill the flea's in the home not spray on the pet!!!. allot of people only treat the pets beds their beds and carpets, but fleas will haunt any crack and crevis, so if you have laminate flooring, odds on larvea is being pupulated inbtween the cracks where all dead skin and furr has collected and inbetween the skirting boards.

another tip if you have carpets, get a dog flea collar, place in the hoover bag or the cyclone bin, any sucked up will be killed in the hoover with the precence of the collar,

I use Acclaim in the house and Advantage on the cats and dogs, both bought online as you no longer need a prescription for Advantage. I gave up with Frontline as it has seemed less and less effective over the last couple of years.

I got mine from G W Titmuss, with cashback from TCB.

Bob Martin stuff should have been withdrawn following so much bad publicity. I wouldn't risk it on my furbabies.

Slight hi-jack here, forgive me. Has anyone ever tried those flea-attractor sticky disk contraptions???? I used to see them in various catalogues and still wonder if they work at all. It was basically a small heating (I think it lit up, too) type element on a little base, that warmed up and had a round sticky cardboard disk on top, which the fleas were supposed to be drawn to, they'd hop on it and get stuck...??? I know, even typing it up is seems unlikely, but just thought I'd ask!

Avoid! I bought a Gotcha flea trap as I wanted a safer alternative to anti flea chemicals for my home. The packaging showing a baby and a puppy playing near the device further represented that it was safe. I followed the instructions which advised "place trap on floor...usually where your pet spends a considerable amount of time." and "leave your flea trap on 24 hours a day" But my cat Luke was injured when he managed to put his head into the device, he was stuck on the sticky pad and the bulb burned his face! There was fur stuck to the pad and he had a burn by his eye! If a product is designed and sold to be used around pets it should be safety tested, the gap should not be big enough for a cat to get their head into and the bulb supposedly only uses "gentle" heat to mimic body temperature to attract fleas so should not get hot enough to burn skin!

oh your poor kitty hope he is feeling better now , we bought 3 of the flea catchers and put them in bedrooms after using flea treatments and we found they worked great only problem we had was if they got moved even slightly it would blow the bulb
