INDOOR/OUTDOOR AND FOR DOGS & CATS:
Thank you for your interest in CedarCide products. For the animals, people and in the house I recommend using Best Yet (product #4002) as this product will kill the fleas and eggs on contact! This is the only product that will kill them immediately but, it is not recommended for use on plants. This will kill the fleas and eggs on contact the first time but, you must be sure to spray everywhere or they will congregate in the untreated areas. You don't need to soak anything but, just a light misting.
BE SURE TO FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS COMPLETELY:
For inside treatment using Best Yet; just pour it into a 1-2 gallon pump-up/compression sprayer and lightly mist everywhere inside and on the animals. Begin with the animals, then get the furniture (sides and cushions of couch and chairs, etc.) Then, spray entire flooring, even closets and hardwood. This will not stain. (You will not need to spray linoleum or tile flooring but, do remember to spray any wooden baseboards around them.
For outside you need PCO Choice (product #8006) found at the link below. You will need to spray inside the house first then, spray outside beginning at the foundation and/or patio and spray outward. Spray the sides of the house, the eves, shrubbery & trees as best as you can. Just pull off the little black tab on the hose-end sprayer to get a 20’ stream. As you are aware, fleas are hard to get rid of. Treat all areas where the fleas are. You must treat 2 times, within 4-7 days to end the egg laying cycle. For example; if you spray outside today, do it again within 4-7 days. Afterward, it is just a maintenance issue of every once a month or so, depending on the time of year. (ALTHOUGH OUTDOOR TREATMENT IS RECOMMENDED, IF YOU ARE NOT USING PCO CHOICE PLEASE IGNORE THIS PARAGRAPH)
IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT FLEAS: Fleas are some of the most difficult insects to get under control once there is an infestation. Use the Best Yet in a pump-up sprayer inside the house and be sure to spray the sides of furniture, etc. before spraying the flooring.
BE SURE TO SPRAY EVERY ROOM IN YOUR HOME FIRST! IF YOU LEAVE A ROOM OR EVEN A CLOSET UN-TREATED THAT IS WHERE THE FLEAS WILL CONGREGATE. This will not stain anything, including furniture, drapes, carpeting, clothes, etc.
VERY IMPORTANT: Begin by spraying the sides of furniture; couches, chairs & cushions, bedding, etc. THEN, spray the floors (except vinyl or tile floors) but, DO spray the wooden baseboards. Be sure to get enough of the Best Yet to spray the entire square footage of your home and furniture as well as any animals you may have. Each Gallon of Best Yet (used in the compression/pump-up sprayer will cover 1,200 - 1,300 sq. ft.)
For Example: If you start spraying in the middle of a room, the fleas and eggs that get a direct spray will die within 1-3 seconds but, the fleas in the surrounding areas will try to get away from it by jumping on you, your animals, the furniture, etc. So, if you spray those areas first when the flea jumps there it will retreat back to the floor and subsequently die. I also recommend spraying your legs first as well so you don’t get bit.
FOR CATS: Just give a light misting all over EXCEPT on their face. Spray a little Best Yet in your hands and just rub it on their face. You can also apply Best Yet via eye or ear dropper for ear mites and the fungus thereof. Just do this once or twice per week.
Cats avoid unfamiliar smells. Though CedarCide does not repel cats, CedarCide Mulch Topping will keep cats from entering garden & shrubbery beds.
