    Q
    What is the difference between Precor 2000 and Ultracide?
    I have 6 indoor only cats with hardwood floors. What is the difference between Precor Premise and Utlracide? I did spray Precor (concentrate in 1 oz bottle) on the baseboards, but need an adulticide.
    A

    Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray and Ultracide contain different active ingredients but either would be great choice for floor surfaces including hardwoods for indoor flea control. Make sure to apply once every two weeks and vacuum daily (even on hard surfaces). Please test a small area with the product first. Hold the can (upside down) three feet away from the floor and in a light sweeping motion apply a mist broadcast on the flooring. Allow to dry completely prior to allowing the cats to re-enter. They should be removed during the applicaitons with the products. Please click on the link below for more information on treating fleas. If you have any questions/concerns, please let us know.

    Q
    How do you apply Ultracide on tile?
    I have my floor with tiles.
    A
    You would normally not need to apply Ultracide to tile for fleas as this is not an area of the home where they can thrive since there are not many places for them to hide or leave eggs.  However if you need to spray the tile, you would spray it the same way you would carpet in a sweeping motion just lightly covering the floor and let it dry completely. Any residue left behind that makes the floor slippery should be wiped up with a towel for safety reasons.

    Q
    I have fleas in my house in my carpet
    William corey [email protected]
    A
    We recommend using Ultracide for indoor fleas. Ultracide is a very effective flea control aerosol that provides immediate kill of adult fleas and prevents formation of new adults from eggs or larvae. Ultracide is a very safe and effective flea control product that is used widely by professional companies such as Terminix and Orkin in homes with children and pets all the time.  You should only apply Ultracide to carpeted areas and upholstered areas.  Do not apply on top of couches and chairs where people rest their arms, fleas do not breed in these areas. You would want to spray around the foot of the furniture, and underneath couch cushions.  You should have children and pets in another room while you are treating.  After treatment, allow 30 minutes to dry and then it is perfectly safe for children and pets to re-enter the room. Vacuum immediately before the treatment and every other day for the next 14 days. A second treatment may be needed after 14 days for heavy infestations.

    Q
    What can I do for reoccurring fleas
    There has been a bad infestation in my back yard plus raccoons tried to nest in my fireplace, we got it out but they left a lot of fleas as a gift, I applied the ultra side and I vacuum everyday for the past fourteen days, I treated my dogs with spot on treatments, I have seen three fleas this week, what else can I do, will the cold weather kill them off? PLEASE HELP ME!!
    A
    Yes, the cold weather will certainly lessen their activity. You said the fleas were in your backyard. We recommend using a product like our Indoor/Outdoor Kit which includes Onslaught and Martins IGR. This kit will kill the adult fleas, while breaking down the reproduction cycle. Please review the Indoor/Outdoor Flea kit page.

    What is the best cost effective treatment to get rid of fleas in house and on animals?
    I have a flea problem. I have bombed washed all animals all bedding and constantly sweep, but have had no luck. A vet told be to make sure I get some kind of spray with IGR in it and for the animals comfortis is the best. I just need something that will work and not cost a lot of money.

    We do carry several products that are labeled for flea control on dogs, you can find them here.  Our most popular product is the PetCor Flea Spray.  Petcor Flea Spray contains Precor IGR, an insect growth regulator that targets fleas in the egg and larval stages of development. As a result, pre-adult fleas cannot produce new infestations of breeding, biting adults.

    Q
    How should our bed and bedding be treated when cat sleeps on it every nite?
    Underneath the blanket is a comforter cover and then comforter. Should we spray Ultracide on the comforter cover? If so, will this kill any fleas that may have burrowed into the comforter? We can't lock cat out or prevent him from sleeping on our bed.
    A

    We recommend that you remove all linens and wash and dry on high heat to kill any existing fleas. While they are being laundered, we recommend spraying your mattress and box spring with SteriFab give time to completely dry before applying your linens back on the bed. We suggest that you have the cat treated for fleas by your vet. Ultracide is great for indoor flea treatments on carpeted, hard surface floors and furniture. We recommend vacuuming prior to the application and each day for 14 days. On the 14th day, you will vacuum and treat with a second application of Ultracide and vacuum for additional 14 days. After vacuuming each day, replace with a new bag or empty the canister (if bagless) in a trash bag outside of the home. Please contact us at 866.581.7378 if you have any questions.

    Q
    Bagless vacuums
    Is it safe to use a bagless vacuum with Ultracide treatment? I don't want to be spreading eggs or fleas that might stick to the vacuum. Or will it be ok since the chemicals get into the vacuum?
    A
    Once the product, Ultracide, has dried you should not be concerned about vacuuming the product up. However, whether you are using a bagless or other vacuum - You still need to vaccum frequently and always empty your vacuum after every use. Anything you suck up can potentially crawl back out. If you are concerned about anything sticking inside, you may want to rinse it out after emptying it after each use. It may seem tedious, but vacuuming is a key part in treating a flea infestation.

    Q
    I used Ultra-Cide, and I still have fleas.
    I recently sprayed 1 can(20 oz)Ultra-Cide in home, approx.1200 sq.ft. of carpet. I sprayed sides of couches and chairs as directed by your help-line, and I still have fleas?
    A

    It is normal to still see fleas after an application of Ultracide.  It is not a contact kill after the product has dried, it will take time for a flea to die after contacting a treated surface.

    Typically most flea problems can be handled in 2 treatments, but this depends on how bad the problem is.  You should repeat the treatment exactly 14 days after the first treatment, or 2 weeks, since this is how often flea eggs typically hatch. It is common to have to do 3 or 4 treatments (treating every 2 weeks) over 2 months for bad problems.

    Q
    Does Ultracide contain an IGR and Adultticide?
    Our vet recommends Adams Plus Fogger, I would rather not use a Fogger in our home. I need to know if Ultracide is a single product that I can use or do I need to combine the Ultracide with another product?
    A
    Yes, the Ultracide as well as all other flea aerosols we carry like this product have both the IGR and adulticide for full flea control with just one product. You can watch our How To Get Rid of Fleas Indoors video (21st video down from the top) for full application instructions and tips.

    Does Ultracide just kill fleas? Will it kill other insects like ants and spiders? How can I treat the basement?

    Ultracide is only labeled for the treatment of fleas. We carry other products including aerosols that are listed to treat ants, spiders and other insects. Please follow the link below for additional products. We recommend that you vacuum and treat the basement floor with Ultracide, vacuum daily for 14 days and retreat 14 days after the intial application.

    Q
    We have laminate flooring and leather furniture - where are the fleas living?!
    I am considering purchasing Ultracide to backup the spot on flea treatment used on my dog and 2 cats but I'm not even sure where to apply it. We have laminate and ceramic flooring throughout the house and leather furniture so I'm not sure if Ultracide is even appropriate to use. Prior to adopting the 2 cats we had zero fleas by just spot on treating our dog. An every-other-day flea combing reveals mostly large fleas, but it is smaller fleas we see periodically in areas of the house. I wouldn't call it an infestation, but the animals are definitely uncomfortable and I have seen a couple on myself and children randomly. Do I even need Ultracide - my vet indicated that the spot on treatment would be sufficient to rid the house of any fleas as well.
    A
    Laminate floors do not need to be sprayed with any products; they simply need to be vacuumed, very thoroughly, every day for the next couple of weeks. All upholstered furniture, rugs and carpets can be vacuumed then sprayed with Ultracide. Flea stoppers can be applied to all rugs and carpets to help control developing fleas.  Please take a moment to read over our Indoor Flea Control article for more information

    Q
    How soon after the Ultracide dries on the carpet, should you vacuum?
    Should I vaccuum right afterwards or starting the next day?
    A
    For flea treatments you will want to do a thorough vacuuming prior to application and then start the next day with the daily vacuuming after the spray has dried. You do not have to do the same day you treat after the product dries.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    My son had a dog living in the house with us. He moved out and took the dog. He left the fleas here with me.
    I used 3 can of hot shot in 1 room and still have them. Tell me how to get rid of them
    A
    Precor 2000 or Ultracide would be a good choice for indoor carpeted areas. Precor 2000 and Ultracide come ready to use, no mixing or equipment is needed and they contain both an insecticide for a quick knock down of biting adults and an insect growth regulator for control of developing flea eggs and larvae. Infested areas should be thoroughly vacuumed prior to product applications to help remove as much flea eggs, larvae and debris as possible and also to help stimulate larvae to change stages and come into contact with the product. You should continue to vacuum at least every other day for the next two weeks

    Q
    Everyone says to vacuum after using Ultracide - we have hardwoods, is it better to vacuum or sweep?
    Wondering which method of follow through is necessary for my hardwoods after using Ultracide??
    A
    Vacumming is really the recommended method as it will suck up any eggs or adult fleas that are exposed whereas sweeping could just push them into a different area. A canister vacuum works very well for this use.

    Q
    I have a pet bird who often sits on furniture. Is Ultracide safe to use?
    I will remove the bird while spraying but am concerned that if he lands where the product was, it could be harmful.
    A
    Ultracide should not present a safety hazard to the bird as long as it used as directed on the product label and is completely dry before contact. If your bird has any health concerns youshould contact your vet before use.
