    Q
    Are Orthene PCO Pellets repellent or non-repellent?
    A

    Orthene PCO Pellets is considered a repellent product in that insects can detect that it is on the surface where it was applied.  It may not repel insects from an area and may only do so for a short time.  It is more designed to provide a lasting residual to continue to kill after application.

  • Asked by Michelle from Wilmington, Nc
    08/05/2015
    Q
    Can Orthene PCO pellets be used against fleas?
    We have a cat who didn't have fleas til my daughter visited with her dog. Now I have them all in my house. I've tried Bengal sprays and foggers, Sevens dust and liquid, Hot Shot products and Raid. So far the flea treatment is working on the cat but nothing works in the house except constant moping and vacuuming. The only thing I have left is the Orthene which I use every 6 months to make sure I don't have roaches in my kitchen and bath areas. Will this also work on the fleas? Can I use it on hard wood floors?
    A

    Orthene PCO Pellets are not labeled for use inside residential homes and would not be recommended.  We would recommend our Indoor Flea Kit.  Here is a great video on how to use our Indoor Kit.
