    Q
    Can I apply Ultracide to the floors even though we have a 9 month old baby?
    We have hardwood and concrete floors.
    A
    Ultracide should not be applied to hardwood floors as it is possible the product could stain the finish. Ultracide can be applied to the concrete floor. Be sure that your child is out of the area while you applying Ultracide and the child can safely return to the area after it is dry.

    Q
    Does Ultracide work on roaches?
    German Cockroach infestation from the apartment below us and wondering if I can spray them to death with this fabulous insecticide.
    A
    Ultracide is only labeled for fleas. Having said that the active ingredients contained in Ultracide are also known to kill roaches. The main consideration here is that Ultracide has a broadcast applicator when roach applications for the most part will call for crack and crevice applications only. We recommend D-Force HPX if you are in need of an aerosol product to control roaches.

    Q
    Does Ultracide kill and prevent Ticks?
    How effective is Ultracide against the elimination and prevention of ticks in the house?
    A
    While the active ingredients in Ultracide would most likely kill ticks this product is not labeled for ticks so we would not recommend it for tick applications. If you would like to use an aerosol product that does not require mixing and measuring you can use Precor 2000 Plus. Precor 2000 Plus Premise Spray is an insect growth regulator (IGR) and residual insecticide for controlling fleas and ticks indoors. For best results you should use a product such as Petcor that is labeled for use on your animals to prevent them from bringing ticks indoors in the future.

    Q
    Ultracide for Carpet Beelte Adult and Larvae?
    Is this a good spray for carpet larvae? Can I spray it inside my kitchen cabinets and then replace food and other stuff once it dries?
    A
    Ultracide is not labeled for Carpet Beetles or their larvae and definitely not for use inside kitchen cabinets. Carpet beetles will be around the edges of carpet and fabric like wool rugs or clothing, not in cabinets. If you are experiencing beetles in your cabinets you may have a type of grain beetle. Please try to get a sample on a glue board or tape and take it to a local pest control company or your local Cooperative Extension office to get a proper identification so that we can give you the best information for your treatment needs.

  • Asked by Bob from Niles, Mi
    06/17/2013
    Q
    If Ultracide has a 7 month residual why do you have to treat the carpet over and over again?
    If there is a residual in the chemical then why reapply in 2 weeks? Whatever hatches later wouldnt the residual be there waiting for the new fleas or larva?
    A
    The IGR in the Ultracide is supposed to last for 7 months, however the adulticide you need to respray every 14 days as this is the rough hatching cycle for any that havent already come out from your daily vacuuming. This provides an extra knock down of any remaining adults and newly hatched fleas. On average, most homeowners who do a proper treatment, vacuum daily, and treat their pet and outdoor areas where the fleas originated will be rid of the fleas indoors by the 2nd spraying. For most products, the treatment and residual control is different when you are spraying "just in case" some get in, or if you are actually dealing with an active infestation.

    08/31/2013
    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.

    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
    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.

  • Asked by Anonymous from Illinois

    Q
    Would be using Archer IGR + Conquer indoors be the same as using Ultracide indoors?
    I was planning on purchasing the Archer IGR and Conquer to mix and use outside, but it says I can use it inside also Is that better than the Ultracide?
    A
    Using Conquer/Archer IGR concentrates together would be pretty similar to using the Ultracide Aerosol indoors. Many customers choose Ultracide instead of the concentrates because they do not have to purchase separate items and because no measuring or mixing is required.

  • Asked by Roslyn from Forest Grove, Or

    Q
    Does Ultracide work on thick carpet?
    I have really thick, almost shag carpet. Will Ultracide be able to help with my flea problem?
    A
    Ultracide will work on any surface.  However, the most important part to any flea treatment is vacuuming.  Vacuuming does a couple things, but the most important of which is the suction helps bring eggs and hatched fleas to the surface of the carpet so it is more likely that they come in contact with the Ultracide.  When treating fleas, you should vacuum first, then treat.  Next, you should vacuum after you treat over the next few days, every day.  Vacuuming also stimulates the eggs to hatch.  Exactly 14 days after the first treatment, you should vacuum and treat again.  This method will usually take care of most flea issues.

  • Asked by Deirdre from Apache Junction, Az 85120
    01/08/2012
    Q
    I have a 36 foot RV I currently live in with my dog who I have been treating with K9AdvantixII for 4 weeks
    I have sprayed 2-20oz cans in the RV, in all compartments as well as my car over the last 2 weeks. The final treatment was yesterday. I have vaccuumed every day often twice a day but I still feel fleas. I read the instructions thoroughly many times but saw nowhere to spray a second time exactly 14 days after the first treatment. I am at my wits end to the point where I fantasize lighting my rig on fire and watching it burn. Is it going to be necessary to treat the rig again? I am going broke trying to get rid of these things.I even threw out all of my bedding and replaced it with brand new bedding. How much longer should I expect these things to last and what else, if anything do I have to do?
    A
    Are you still actually seeing fleas or only feeling them? It can take 2-6 weeks of applying Ultracide to get rid of a flea infestation and if your pet is picking up fleas from outdoors and shedding them indoors it can take much longer to get rid of the infestation. It is necessary to do a follow up treatment after 14 days, this is industry standard.

  • Asked by Scott from Dover, Florida
    11/06/2012
    Q
    Is this product usefull in getting rid of bedbugs?
    we are trying to find the right pest control company and the best priced one said that they use ultracide to get rid of bedbugs. He said it is a three-step procedure but all he uses is ultracide. Will this be effective?
    A

    We cannot comment on the work that is done or will be done by a professional pest control company. Here is what we can tell you: Ultracide is not labeled for bedbugs so we would not recommend it for this type of application. Ultracide has a broad application nozzle which will not direct the product into cracks and crevices where bedbugs hide making it not ideal for bedbug applications. Also, the manufacturer has not tested Ultracide for bedbug applications so we have no idea if it will be effective for bedbugs. It will take multiple products to get rid of bedbugs (and also multiple applications of the products) but you must make sure the correct products are being used. Make sure only products that are labeled for bedbugs are being used and also make sure the products are being applied in areas where they are labeled to be applied (many products cannot be used on beds or furniture). Most of our customers and most professionals use the products that come in our bedbug kits, which is why we have put the kits together.
