PETARMOR Home Carpet Powder for Fleas and Ticks, 16 Ounce

I just recently brought some more because last time it smells amazing and it get the job done. I sprinkle it on the carpet let it sit for a week for the best results than I vacuum. Gave my dogs a bath with dawn dish soap I massage it in their coats kept wet and soap for 30 min. We took turns massaging it and letting it sit because it kills fleas and eggs. Everyday I spray some vinegar and rosemary after every walk. I never worried about fleas again until recently one of the dogs had fleas and infested my house and now I have to treat it over again.

Great product

My dog got mixed up with a cat who had fleas and he brought them home. This stuff worked ! Of course between treating my dog with flea meds first in combination with this carpet powder...no more fleas.

Indeed, follow the directions. Specifically vacuuming it away after it has set for as many hours as you can stand. The smell of it was pleasant, similar to a fresh soap smell. I have no insect issues here, but I wanted to be proactive, so I spread it lightly over the oldest hardwood floor areas, where small cracks between boards formed over the past 90 years. I then dust-mopped it around and against the walls. Then I live in the other rooms of this small house for the day. I wanted to leave it for 24 hours for best effect, but I noticed it was beginning to irritate my throat after about 10 hours, so I vacuumed away all the treated area resides using my shop-vac (nice and strong). Good sleeping thereafter. Lesson learned -- good, strong stuff. It even killed the small spider in the far corner, poor thing, though it would've starved anyway, I think, after this gassing. I would not use it where kids and animals had to stay while it rested, awaiting vacuuming. But then, the instructions recommend clearly to apply, rest, vacuum completely. Good advice.

We sent PetArmor Carpet Powder to a dear woman who does TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release/Return) in Orlando, FL. She is shelling out thousands of dollars a month of her own money to feed, treat, and sterilize hundreds of cats and one aged, ill dog. Over the past 20 years, she has done TNR on around 7,000 cats. She has seen everything, but the fleas this year are the worst. They are TINY, numerous, and resistant to all but the most potent and expensive flea treatments (Bravecto and Activyl -- Prescription only ($$$$) and Activyl is currently SOLD OUT everywhere, to boot). To flea treat all the cats within her care, she would have to shell out about $1,500 at a discount, and then do it again in 2-3 months. She has a house she uses to care for cats which are too infirm to be released or adopted (she has helped place thousands of cats and kittens into forever homes, as well). She called us last night to tell us that she had applied the PetArmor Carpet Powder to one room with disabled cats. The cats had huddled in the closet and had climbed as high as they could to get away from the flea-infested floors. One cat slept in a large food bowl trying to use it as a defense. She cleaned the room ahead of time. After she applied the powder (please be sure to READ the instructions) and had to open the windows to let some fresh air into the room (the scent is strong), she swept the powder in thoroughly and waited for the dust to settle before closing the windows again. She did go a little overboard on the application (INSTRUCTIONS!). We told her to vacuum lightly when she returned the next morning. She called us this morning to tell us what had happened. First, all the cats were out of the closet and clearly more relaxed. She checked a cat with white fur and saw the fleas on his coat. She said she could pick them off of him easily. When fleas are sick, they have no typical abilities. They will stagger and linger. That's what these were doing. We told her to do a video and we will try to post that, if possible. These results are the best possible outcome! This means she can treat large areas and help the cats which are too wild to treat with topicals or won't eat the flea-prevention medicines. She also won't have to worry about the fleas attacking her or accidentally tracking hitchhiker fleas from location to location. We used to use a carpet flea powder from a company which is no longer in business and had amazing results. We didn't have to worry about fleas for a whole year. We have no doubt that this will be just as effective for that long. The only reason that the powders went out of favor was because the topicals came on the market. This won't lose its efficacy like they do because its a biological treatment. The fleas can't build up a defense against it. We hope this review helps. Considering that a canister of PetArmor Carpet Powder is less than $8.00 as of the date of this review, and one topical can be more than twice that, this is clearly the winner!
