CritterKill Professional Strength 16g Flea Smoke Bomb Fogger Fumigator Smoke | Kills Fleas (4)

Product Information

Bleaches contain carcinogens fumes that cause mucous membrane irritation and so, not safe. Also, this method is not safe for pets, as there are a lot of death and pet illness reports. Do flea bombs work on flea eggs? You will also need to prepare your house before applying the solution by thoroughly cleaning various rooms. Vacuum fabrics like carpeting and upholstery and throw clothing and beddings in the washing machine. Dump the contents of the vacuum in an outside dumper in case there are fleas present.

We’ve used the Raid Fumigator blue canisters that activate with water, but they only seem to get some of the adult fleas. I like it because it doesn’t drip spray all over our nice wood floors and there’s virtually no smell. However, we’ve had to fumigate several times before the flea population visibly diminished. The box isn’t too pricey and that’s also a plus.

The crazy think is that I’ve never seen a single flea, (until the vet found one on the cat yesterday), yet I feel itchy all the time. Maybe it’s the power of suggestion. What do you suggest in my case? Thank you so, so much, Natasha! Flea bombs spread aerosol insecticide around the home, eliminating large number of fleas in a given area. As with any chemical control, flea bombs can never be 100% safe. In fact, some flea bombs may contain chemicals that your pet is allergic to. Many small kittens and cats have been known to suffer from terrible symptoms like lethargy, vomiting, disorientation, seizures etc. after using flea bombs or other products containing insecticides around them.

The sprinkle-on formula acts as a carpet cleaner, being left to work its way in before needing to be vacuumed. It kills fleas and larvae and also absorbs pet odours to leave your room and furnishings smelling pleasant which is an added bonus. Flea bombs have been used for decades to control fleas in both residential and commercial settings. While these products are generally considered safe for use when used as directed, there are some potential risks associated with their use. When a number of Insect Killer Smoke Bombs are being used, space them throughout the area to be treated, and prepare all for ignition before lighting the first. Carpets, curtains, clothes and soft furnishings can all harbour fleas, and can be very stubborn to remove. In the worst case scenario, you may even have to consider replacing a lot of your fabrics after treatment if flea infestation persists. But before you take that rather drastic step, try this:Chemical-free, odourless and safe to use around children and pets (so you don’t have to cut off the room), it attracts fleas via a 7W heat lamp. Fleas love warmth, which is why they prefer your pet’s soft fur to your bare skin.

Since flea bombs essentially coat your home with a layer of insecticide, it’s very important to clean thoroughly after treatment. I recommend using gloves while performing this work. Mopping the floors, wiping down the counters and cleaning up will ensure that there are no toxic residue remaining in your home. You also may need to wash various items that could have been exposed to the poisonous fog. No matter where the insects hide and breed, this liquid formulation will kill them. It has a residual action of up two months, and you can rest easy as the fogger continues to work its magic. The pyrethroid also has shown a toxic effect on rats and other small animals, so do the same with these. Lastly, it is highly toxic to aquatic mammals, so remove fish tanks before using flea sprays. Just spray Virbac Indorex directly onto carpets, rugs and other hard and soft areas where fleas could be, and close off and ventilate the room for around an hour. It is odourless, however, so if you find it impossible to do this, the product is still safe to use. Perfect if you want to avoid flea bombs and other potentially messy products which leave your home unable to be lived in for a while.We currently have fleas. We foster cats and one of my cats loved going outside to sun and get some fresh air. She brought a few fleas, and they spread. We don’t have carpeting except for area rugs, but the fleas managed to get into the wood floor crevices. My husband and I have developed some strategies that may help. To ensure you are using a flea bomb correctly, only use it for the room size it is rated for. This way, you will only need one treatment process. You may, however, need to use flea bombs again if there is a re-infestation.
