For fleas in carpeting, we would recommend our Indoor Flea and Tick Kit, which contains CimeXa Insecticide Dust as well as NyGuard Plus Insecticide, IGR, and deodorizer. CimeXa Dust may be worked into carpeting for long-term treatment, while the NyGuard Plus should be applied as a broadcast over carpets and other flooring. Be sure to vacuum thoroughly before treatment and every day or every other day after treatment. Treatments should be repeated after 14 days. Please see our article Flea Treatment for more information and tips.
All products carry some level of toxicity but when used as directed the products in the Indoor Flea and Tick Kit are safe to use. People should be out of the area during treatment until dry. Here is a great video on how to use our Indoor Kit.
Each bottle of Cimexa Dust will treat 200 square feet. Remember that only a light coating of dust is needed when applying this product.
The Indoor Flea and Tick Kit is a great option for use in your home. When using the Nyguard Plus, be sure to treat the cracks and crevices between the hardwood every 10-14 days until you no longer have activity. If you are able to vacuum, be sure to do so between treatments. Please take a look at our Flea Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent fleas.
A can of NyGuard Plus will cover about 2,000 sq ft and should be applied once every two weeks. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for more helpful information.
Nyguard Plus is safe to apply to seams and folds of mattresses and box Springs. Also be sure to vacuum mattress before and after application. Please visit our Flea Guide for the best tips on application and treatment for fleas.
Yes, the NyGuard Plus in the Infoor Flea and Tick Kit works just as well as the Precor 2000. It also contains an IGR and the flea treatment would be pretty much the same way. NyGuard Plus also contains a deodorizer to help eliminate pet odors during treatment. Please see our Flea Treatment Guide for more information.
The NyGuard Plus in the Indoor Flea and Tick Kit is labeled to be applied to the mattress. You will wash and dry linens in heat to eradicate any present fleas and allow product to completely dry prior to making the bed.

Using the NyGuard Plus and Cimexa Dust combination that is in the Indoor Flea and Tick Kit will treat all stages of fleas and ticks. NyGuard Plus kills all stages of ticks quickly and provides residual control of ticks and fleas. The formulation is a combination of a pyrethroid, the insect growth regulator (IGR) NyGuard, and a synergist. CimeXa Dust may be worked into carpeting for long-term treatment. We also carry an Outdoor/Indoor Fleas and Tick Kit that contains the products discussed above along with products to help prevent and treat infestations of fleas and ticks outdoors. Cyzmic CS, insecticide in the kit, is a versatile insecticide concentrate with two active ingredients, providing both a quick initial kill and long-term residual control of adult fleas and ticks. Archer Insect Growth Regulator prohibits the development of immature stages of fleas and ticks, effectively interrupting the breeding cycle of target insects.

The Indoor Flea Kit includes PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol, which contains 25 % Dinotefuran, .10% Pyriproxyfen, and .05% Prallethrin, as well as CimeXa Insecticide Dust, which contains 100% Amorphous Silica Gel.
When trying to control fleas on the inside of the home, we recommend using our Indoor Flea and Tick Kit. Please also take a look at our guide on How to Get Rid of Fleas for detailed information on how and where the products in the kit should be applied.
The Indoor Flea and Tick Kit no longer has the NyGuard Plus in it because we do not have any stock of the NyGuard Plus. The PT Alpine is readily available and works the same as the NyGuard Plus. We didn't go with the Precor because of size and price. The PT Alpine is the closest to the NyGuard we could get. All the aerosols can be used on both carpet and hardwood but we do recommend spraying it in a nonconspicuous location first to be sure it doesn't stain.
Indoor Flea and Tick Kit is safe for pets once dry. It's crucial that pets are not in the room while you're treating and only return once dry. We recommend maybe doing one room at a time, and putting the pets in a different room in the meantime.
The Indoor Flea and Tick Kit comes with 2 x 14 oz PT Alpine Flea and Bedbug Aerosols and a 4 oz bottle of Cimexa Dust.
Each 14 oz PT Alpine Flea and Bedbug Aerosol will treat up to 2,625 sq. ft and the 4 oz bottle of Cimexa Dust will cover approx 200 sq ft.
