It works!
By Sue on 05/01/2009
I'm crazy about this stuff, I have owned several cats that wander outside in the sandy woods and then bring the fleas inside. I could never really get a handle on the problem, and tried several flea collar/drops to try and control things. Once I tried Flea Stoppers, in a few short weeks the problem started to subside and with regular usage...no more fleas!

Only thing that works for me!
By Julie on 09/27/2010
I had a horrific flea problem both in and out of the house. My two dogs were suffering; it was awful. I tried everything. When nothing worked, I found this product - Flea Stoppers - online and applied it on the carpet and furniture as directed. I knew it would take a few days to start working and so I also purchased powdered diatomaceous earth and carefully applied this to the dogs at the same time. Within three weeks my flea problem was totally solved. I didn't see another flea for several years, and when they did return, I nipped it in the bud with another application of Flea Stoppers. Flea Stoppers is great and my mobile groomer was so impressed by the results that she recommends it to all her customers, who have also experienced the same great results that I have. Be patient and you won't be disappointed. It's not a fluke that it worked twice for me with a total elimination of every single flea in my house!

This stuff works but not for a quick fix
By Joseph on 08/24/2010
I've used this product twice now in two different homes and it has eradicated the flea problem both times. I wouldn't recommend it if you need to rid your flea problem overnight. This is a more natural way to get rid of fleas compared to harsh chemicals but it does require some patience. The second time I used this product, I steam cleaned my carpet BEFORE applying the product. Steam cleaning is not necessary but I had just moved into a new house so it was necessary. I didn't steam clean the first time I used this product and it worked just as well.

Best flea control period
By Linda on 12/19/2016
I have been using Flea Stoppers for more than 20 years now. I have 2 large dogs and a cat in the house, and they do not require any flea medication at all. The Flea Stoppers keeps pests out of my house and off my dogs (and us people). It does work best in houses that have carpeting in sleeping areas. I would recommend this product to anyone that has pets. If you currently have a flea problem, be aware that you will see increased flea activity for about 7-10 days after applying the Flea Stoppers - then they will go away for GOOD. I have gone more than a year between applications and have never seen another flea in the house. Also seems to work on spiders, flies, roaches, and other pests.

the only thing I iwll ever use
By Stacy on 01/12/2012
this stuff is fantastic. It says powder but it is actually granules, so no mess. I have 8 grandkids and pets crawling around and i shook this stuff into the furniture, between the mattresses around the edges of hard floors under dressers and into closets, fleas were gone. it is harmless to humans, and for the most part to pets as well. i put it in the dogs bed. never had another bug in my house again. no smells, no tearing the house apart to spray, no fog and opening cabinets and cheaper than anything else on the market and even though it doesn;t say it kilss everything, it really does. It is only good for indoors though. I wish I had found this stuff years ago.

Flea Stoppers is definitely helping!
By Dale on 07/13/2010
I am a dachshund breeder & have 19 dogs. They have the run of 10 and 1/2 acres much of the day. They have a great opportunity of picking up fleas from squirrels, etc. on the property. I have found that Flea Stoppers along with the topical flea applications on the dogs has made a big difference in my flea problem. Thank you Flea Stoppers! I am sure that I will be a repeat customer in the future because of my large amount of dogs.

The end of the flea plague
By Chris on 08/12/2017
After lots and lots of research online for help in ridding our home of fleas, we settled on Flea Stoppers. We bought the product 2 weeks after we had spent $150 on an outside exterminator who used an IGR. We weren't seeing much difference in the number of fleas, and we were starting to go crazy....I was being bitten on the ankles daily, unable to find anywhere in my own home for respite. We were vacuuming everyday as we were told. As we researched and learned more about the lifecycle of the flea, and the fact that you really have an "egg" problem, not a "flea" problem, we purchased Flea Stoppers. The product is designed to penetrate the cocoon stage of the flea, whereas the IGR does not. We applied the product as per the instructions, leaving it down for 6 or 7 days, and have been vacuuming up dead and living fleas ever since. Today, after about 3 weeks, we have NO more fleas! I called FleaStoppers (the manufacturer on the label) midway through the treatment for clarification and encouragement that I was doing enough. It was very helpful to hear that I was, and just needed to continue to be patient a little longer. Baby fleas would be born soon (very, very tiny) and they, too, would succumb to the crystals as they eat them and are dessicated, I was told. The product is non-toxic, also, so we were able to bring our cat back into the house after quarantining her to the garage (she had been treated immediately for fleas, but we chose to give her a safer haven away from the fleas). The product is REASONABLY PRICED and HIGHLY effective.

Flea Stoppers
By Jennifer on 10/19/2012
I have used this product for the past 20 years and it works great. My dogs never have a flea problem and this is the only flea prevention I use other than flea and tick shampoo. I recommend this to anyone who does not want fleas in their house.

My home is now Flea Free!!
By Jeff on 08/11/2015
This product is exactly as advertised!! Puts fleas down fast, and without the mess of dust or residue. I was a little skeptical reading all the excellent reviews, but no more! I'll never call pest control companies again! One word of caution: Keep your little buddy's outside for the first 5 - 7 days that is instructed for leaving the powder on you carpet. The fleas die a horrible death (convulsions, muscle spasms), and the same could happen to your pet if they ingest it. After vacuuming, you can let them back in without worries.
Expert response:
Flea Stoppers is very safe product and when used as directed, will not harm your pets. In fact, the active ingredient is less toxic than table salt to mammals.

This stuff works great!
By Moo on 09/11/2013
A good fellow scout recommended this to my husband. Best product ever, no harm to humans & pets. Follow the instructions , and be patient. It took about a little over 4 weeks to stop the flea cycle in our house. At the end, it's worth the efforts and $$. No more fleas. Happy Happy :D

Flea Stoppers
By Tony on 04/17/2017
Excellent formula comparable to sand very little air borne particles. When applied right cannot be beat of course it is slow acting but in the end it does what it states. Works best when life cycle of flea is in full course.

Does The Job
By Lynne on 03/19/2018
This product DOES go deep into the fibers of the carpet. It does remain active even when the carpet has been steam cleaned. Depending on which stage your fleas are in, it will kill them by the 8th day (emerged fleas and the 1st egg stage). Only if you have any flea eggs in the last egg stage (cocoon) will you need to wait until they emerge. THEN this product will get them. I love that this product is completely harmless to pets and children (even babies.

No more fleas
By Ian on 06/19/2013
This product is great. We bought the kit that came with 2 cans of Alpine IGR. Shake the powder onto the carpet. Rake into carpet with a broom or rake. Wait a few hours then vacuum good. Remove vacuum debris from house. Repeat treatment and then vacuum again.. Then spray whole house with Alpine IGR...All furniture and where the animals hang out....Remember to remove animals prior to treatment... I bought 2kits and saved hundreds $$$ I have bought from these folks before they ship quick and pack orders well... Buy with confidence.

Yeah! Something that finally worked!!!
By Quina on 09/12/2012
The flea products I purchased through Do My Own Pest Control worked. I found Do My Own Pest Control looking for flea products on Amazon. They carry products that work. Forget the products at your local stores, such as grocery, Home Depot or Walmart. You're wasting your money. I spread this on my carpet after taking in a foster cat with fleas and having multiple animals. This with topical applications for my pets and the ultracide spray finally took care of the problem. I have flea traps out with attractant and it's so nice to see them empty.

Awesome!
By Kristen on 10/16/2012
Worked in my house for 3 years. Did take up to 4-6 weeks for flea cycle, but you could still tell the decrease in that time period. Follow the directions, treat your pet. You won't be disappointed. Great product for the money as well!!!

Flea Stoppers
By John on 09/28/2013
Great company, Price was very competitive. It was shipped quickly and people were very friendly. When I received the package the mailman noted that powder was leaking out of the box. The box it was shipped in had gotten crushed and thus broke the lid on the container. The postman made note of this. I called DoMyOwnPestControl and they expeditiously sent out another container. I had it in a few days. I would definitely recommend them.

Flea stopper
By Robbie on 06/09/2015
Perfect stuff, it actually got worse before getting better. I spoke with the customer service rep, she explained what happens. The adult dies, leaving behind eggs(larvae) to be hatched and one egg can hatch many fleas which will die after hatching.

Flea Stoppers - Great Product
By Lj on 10/17/2011
Works
By Rick on 11/03/2017
After applying an application of the Tekko Pro/ Onslaught, then applying flea stoppers, the flea infestation was finally stopped. I found it hard to control application rate and put flee stopper on a bit heavier. Previously tried multiple flea bombs with no positive results.

flea stoppers
By Iris on 08/28/2017
Happy with the results
By Janet on 08/14/2017
Flea Stoppers was applied to the loop carpet on the stairs plus three low-pile area rugs (the rest of the house is wood laminate.) It was left undisturbed for a week, then vacuumed up. This was our first experience dealing with fleas after many years of owning dogs & both dogs had a good half dozen very tiny fleas each day. After 4 to 5 days, they only had an average of one per day (and no "flea dirt") - a huge improvement. My only fear was putting their toys back on the carpets, especially for the 15-pounder.

Awesome Stuff
By Jennifer on 01/12/2018
I have used this little gem for over 20 years and never have a flea problem. My 2 dogs are inside animals and being on 10 acres is hard to keep all the fleas away, I just use this and never have a flea problem on my dogs or cat. I highly recommend this. :) I started using this in FL and it works great there as well.

Great Stuff - Non-Toxic
By James on 07/06/2018
I think this stuff is great! It is a natural mineral, Boron, that dehydrates fleas, ants, roaches, and other insects that come into contact with it. What a great way to kill them - with no poison! It is safe for your pets and kids if they get it on them. It sticks around a very long time too! Good investment. Goes a long way. Get rid of all those spray poisons for fleas, ticks, roaches, ants, etc.! They poison your pets when they walk on it and it stays on the floor a long time. Cats always lick their paws and get the poison in their system. Over time this causes all types of health issues, including skin problems, cancer, kidney failure, and liver failure.

I was skeptical, but it worked!
By Dee on 11/11/2015
We had a flea infestation from May - September this year. What a mess! With two babies under two years old, I was nervous to try anything. We have no pets, so it was such a mystery how we even got the little buggers. My poor 2-year-old had bites all over his legs! With area rugs and laminate flooring, I had no idea where to start. I found this website and thought to try it, as it was "money back guarantee" and had great reviews. We tried it on all of our area rugs in the house and put them in a side room for a week before vacuuming it up, then sprayed under couch cushions, the floor corners and baseboards with Alpine Flea Insecticide, not wanting to do the entire floors with our small kids. We noticed an immediate decline in flea bites (only a couple after the first treatment). We applied the treatment again two weeks later and still had fleas after that, so did a third treatment, thinking we would have to cash out on the "money back guarantee." Needless to say, it actually worked and we have been flea-free for almost two months! We vacuumed a TON during the 1.5 months we treated the rugs. Our persistence paid off! And we never had to ask for our money back. Even though it took a bit of perseverance on our end, it was worth it and I do believe this stuff is effective as advertised, even if it took an extra treatment.

Good product
By Katie on 11/01/2015
Great product!
By Elaine on 08/11/2015
We have used this years ago for flea problems when we had pets, but now I bought for my sister who had big problem. We treated her whole house, and also used light and soapy water trap to catch the adult fleas while the Flea Stoppers was working. She was catching 30 per night and now, after only two weeks from applying the Flea Stoppers she is now only catching about 5 per night. She also does not see any more jumping on her during the day like she had in past. My guess is between 3 and 5 weeks should be no more fleas! I called and customer service said it can take up to 3 to 5 weeks to see the difference. She is also treating the cats with flea drops since they go in and outdoors. She is very pleased

Amazing
By Starryknightzz on 08/21/2012
This stuff is just AMAZING! We have 2 dogs a lab and a shorkie in Florida. We had such a mild winter that the fleas and other pests are out in full force this summer. We have used this stuff before 6 years ago when we were infested and were actually suprised to see fleas on our pets because we have went so long without having to worry about them at all. We figured out the problem, we took out all of the carpet that had been treated 6 years ago so I bought some more treated, and are again pest free. This is a MUST for anyone who has dogs!

Thank you Mom!
By Jeannine on 06/18/2012
My mother turned me on to this back in December. After 3 weeks, we were free of fleas and I haven't seen any since. We live in NC and were constantly fighting them until we found Flea Stoppers. We have 3 in/out cats and a dog.

A full year of flea and tick protection!
By Charles on 05/20/2014
We've been using Flea Stoppers for over 5 years and have had excellent results! We have 8 cats and live out in the country with fields and woods and we never have any flea or tick problem! With the increased spread of Lyme disease we are very grateful to have such an effective solution! Thank you!
