Product Information

A form of fogger, flea bombs are often more on the professional scale versus spray foggers – for those who really have tried everything else. Boric acid comes as a white powder and mainly works by dehydrating the larvae after being consumed. As fleas’ primary diet source is blood, they aren’t boric acid’s primary target. For this reason, these products usually mix boric acid with other natural or chemical compounds. Because of their popularity, these carpet powders are readily available in most pet stores. You shouldn’t have to run from store to store to find it. Flea life cycles can last for up to 30 days, so you’ll want the flea powder that you choose to last for at least the same period, or you’ll need to reapply. Many chemical flea powders can last far longer than this —up to a year, in some cases — but herbal flea powders usually work for most of the life cycle of fleas. Ideally, you’ll want to use a flea powder that can be used topically on your carpets and bedding, as this is far more effective overall. If you use powder that can be used only on flooring or carpets, the fleas living on your cat may outlive the powder on your floors, perpetuating the life cycle. Ease of application Cedar Bug-Free(tm) Carpet Powder is made from 100% natural ingredients, making it non-toxic and safe for use around pets and children.

Hartz UltraGuard solution contains 5 EPA-approved natural essential oils. Those include cedarwood oil, cinnamon oil, and lemongrass oil. Natural ingredients may take longer to be effective but are much better for the environment, are safe for your pets and children and can be left on bedding or carpets for longer periods. These natural powders are usually made from herbal ingredients like rosemary and lemongrass, which help deter pests and smell great in your home. Diatomaceous earth is a common ingredient because it is safe for pets and children, good for the environment, can be used on carpets and bedding and topically, and is safe and even beneficial when ingested. Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny aquatic organisms and is free from any chemicals or additives. It’s usually recommended that diatomaceous earth is not inhaled, but food-grade diatomaceous earth is typically fine for pets. Effectiveness

Signs your pet might have fleas

When applying the flea power to carpets make sure that you don’t apply too much at once; this will prevent clumping and help avoid over-saturation of carpets in heavily infested areas. When in doubt about how much to use, it’s best to start out with a light application and repeat as needed if your flea problem does not clear up after initial treatment. Conclusion Natural flea repellents and products are often not recommended as they aren’t as effective and often just repel as opposed to killing the fleas.

In some cases, you may need to take the carpets and rug for professional cleaning after the treatment and call in professionals for furniture cleaning. Leave the Cedar Bug-Free™ Carpet Powder on your carpet for 24 hours, or longer, depending on the severity of the infestation. Do you have anyone or a pet with a health vulnerability in your home, including cancer or respiratory issues? This will to a large extent determine which powder or spray you opt for. Choose non-toxic options that have little to no effect on their health. If you find none that is safe for them, you may have to move them away from the house for a few weeks as you treat the space. EffectivenessStep 2: To distribute the powder around the rooms, you can use a homemade shaker by taking a large plastic tub, and punching little holes in the lid (ice cream containers work well, just make sure you fasten the lid on with some tape). I recommend making enough for one room at a time, and then repeat the process for each one. As mentioned before, leave it down for about two weeks, and disturb the area with a broom each morning.

Research And just as important as vacuuming, you want to empty the vacuum after cleaning immediately to avoid a reinfestation. If your vacuum has a bag, step outside, remove the bag, and place it in something that can be sealed, like a container or another type of bag. Then put it in your outside garbage can.
