Customer Reviews for PT Ultracide Pressurized Flea Insecticide

Let me be brutally honest. I have a few pets. And man the fleas would pull up a darn chair and watch tv with me. I tried countless and countless products. My brother gave me ultracide one day. I was why not. And havent seen a flea for 10 months. Great product.

First - want to say that PT Ultracide rocks and so does DMO Pest Control. I just had a little flea pop-up a full 9 months after quashing a heavy infestation. Ugh! Crap! Luckily I had a bit of a can of Ultracide left, so I could immediately zap the little buggers and lay down some more IGR in case these late bloomers dropped a few eggs. Sent away to DMOPC for two more cans post-haste that evening, and appreciated the quick delivery. Some tips for everyone: (1) follow the instructions, you just need a light spray on carpets, and under seat cushions on upholstered furniture. (2) Don't forget to spray the underside of your couch - learned this the first time. (3) You do NOT have to throw out your vacuum bag. I checked several County Extension sites affiliated with universities, and they say they USED to believe this, but now know it is not necessary. I still see lots of bad "throw it out" advice out there. Save yourself money and headaches and just keep vacuuming. (4) Move as much furniture as you can when you vacuum - that's a hiding place for fleas. Those $10 sliders at the hardware store will make this much easier. Consider stacking some furniture out of the way for two weeks so you aren't pushing it around every time. My local pest company FAILED to get rid of my fleas the first go-round (and second go-round) and I think the permethrin they sprayed damaged the finish on some of my wood furniture. It was Ultracide that did the trick. Easy to use, doesn't smell bad or perfumely and is very effective when you follow the directions. Have hope!

Product seems to work well. You will still need to vacuum at least every other day, wash all bedding, and treat all animals. I would also suggest treating area at least twice with this product, with a week or so in between treatments.

Product is pretty decent but will not cover 2600 sq ft as it claims on the label. More like 1700/1800 sq ft per can.

Purchased Ultracide in this aerosol to use on the dog's bed area. It works great, nothing to mix or clean, just spray the pet's sleeping locations when you step out for a short walk. If they bring any fleas in, when they return to their bed Ultracide will be ready & waiting.

This works like bombs or foggers do for fleas - which is why I bought it. Very fine aerosol and goes far. Seems to kill the fleas when used as per directions.

In December we had a bad flea breakout in the house and on the cats even though the cats do not go outside. We finally called a pest company and they treated the inside of the house and they used Ultracide. It is safe for pets and people, AFTER it dries, so you need to keep everyone out of the treated room until dry. I found Ultracide at DoMyOwnPestControl and ordered it. I received it timely and used per the directions. We only have carpet in one small room and hardwoods in the rest of the house. It is safe to use on hardwoods too. The can will last a while as you only spray a mist on the areas you are treating. It also kills cock roaches. We like it and will continue to order it from DMOPC instead of calling a best company. The pest company charged $125 just to treat inside the house so this saves me some bucks too, especially since I don't have the $$ to pay a pest company.

We have had a problem with fleas. Our neighbor "bombed" her apartment and sent all her fleas to us. We tried other products before trying Ultracide with no luck, but since we have used Ultracide our flea problem has just about disappeared! But just using this product alone will not cure your flea problem. We Ultracide used in combination with Frontline for our pets, and vacuuming everyday for a couple of weeks straight just to make sure we got all the fleas and eggs out. I highly recommend this product to anyone that has a problem with fleas.

This product works so well. I literally purchased approx. $200 worth of useless products before finding Ultracide at Do My Own Pest Control. I called and spoke with Jill, she was WONDERFUL! She told me that she uses Ultracide and had had great results. I purchased a can (didn't go as far as stated on can) and saw a noticeable difference IMMEDIATELY! I would recommend this product to anyone that is having a flea problem. I have intentions on buying a few more cans to have just in case these little buggers return.

I have purchased this before and it work's! I have an old dog, and cannot use some other products on her, or around her, but this does work! If they made a flea collar with this-I'd buy it!

Used this along with Precor foggers and D-earth on inside and also applied outdoor flea killer and bathed pets w/ Adams. Fleas back w/in a week

  Expert response:
Flea treatments do not work overnight. Over the next couple of weeks you should start to see a reduction in the flea population. We recommend a repeat treatment after 14 days to help get rid of any of the stragglers that may have been missed with the first treatment. Severe infestations may require 3 or 4 treatments in 14 day intervals. If wild animals venture on to your property they can re-infest the treated areas. If you know wild animals frequently visit your property, monthly preventative insecticide treatments should be applied throughout the flea season to prevent infestation. Vacuuming daily will also help speed up the flea elimination. Please take a moment to read over the Flea Guide to learn how to implement a successful flea control program: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-fleas-a-483.html

I've used this product for the 3rd year in a row. So effective I no longer have to treat me cat with any product anymore. Frontline and Advantage have always irritated my cat's skin and a few years ago it just seemed to stop working. We had a bad infestation in 2013 and he got tapeworm. After learning about Ultracide at the pest control company I worked for I ordered it online, put my cat in a carrier outside, applied just a half a can to my apartment and let dry for 30 minutes. We have been totally flea free for 3 years with 6 month reapplications. I recently moved and when I noticed his symptoms, I immediately ordered a can of Ultracide, vacuumed real good and threw out the vacuum bag in the dumpster outside, applied a treatment, and gave Lucien a bath after the product was dry. Within days he is purring and happy again, and so am I!

Our tiny carpeted apartment was infested with fleas. We first tried Diatomaceous Earth (recommendation from local all-natural pet store and great online reviews) but D.E. was like baby powder and it dusted everything in the apartment, too messy and little results (found many live fleas inside the vacuum days after). We then tried Precor IGR to disrupt eggs/larvae but it doesnt kill adult fleas so we combined that with PT Ultracide and boy did it do the job!!! Almost a week of this combination, we had zero fleas trapped in our flea trap and none jumping on my legs (as opposed to trapping over a dozen a night in our traps before applying Precor IGR and PT Ultracide). Even though I did a combination of products, I would recommend first using PT Ultracide and then use Precor IGR if you think you need more/faster help. Lay out flea traps too (dish plate with soapy water under a night light) to gauge flea activity, it really works.

I took in a stray and unfortunately, the fleas hitch hiked in also. Ultracide did exactly what it claimed it would do. Problem solved. I would highly recommend this product.

I bought a few other products from the pet store and they didn't work. I went online and read the reviews about PT Ultracide and they were all good. The product was shipped out really quick. It works great! I sprayed the whole house and so far so good. I also had to put flea treatment on my cat and dog so the combination has been working.

Did the job. No adverse effects and most of all No fleas. Get the buggers off your dog and this product will get them out of your house. Most important to keep vacuuming the house and you'll be free of fleas.

This did not work for me and I tried it twice! Very disappointed. After spending money on your products, I have to hire professionals to take care of the fleas! Is there any money back guarantee on your products?

After a severe flea infestation as a result of my wife rescuing two abandoned puppies, this product was used indoors alone and outdoors on a screened and carpeted porch, as a followup treatment after using Suspend SC. Using recommended vacuuming and spraying procedures,it would appear that our problem has been almost totally resolved. The puppies have been found homes, but we have three cats and in the last two weeks I have only found one small flea inside and two outside.

This product does the job! I first used it some ten years ago when I had a retail home furnishings business located in the lower level of an old hotel. The building, being quite old, allowed feral cats to somehow enter and bring fleas with them. I was unaware of this until one day when I walked into our lay-a-way room and within minutes my beige slacks were black with fleas to my knees! This is NOT an exaggeration. I called an exterminator who sold me Ultracide and insisted I should do the spraying myself, which I did not want to do!! The room was long and fairly narrow and he told me to start at the far end and spray from side to side as I backed out, then to repeat the spraying in one week. There was no need, he said, to worry about furniture stored in the room, saying the product would not hurt the merchandise. I followed instructions and it was over! My flea problem was solved. Believe me, Ultracide works!

I bought two cans (2 x 20oz) for 1200 sf house. At least three times seems needed and three cans might be perfect.

Recently my inside cat acquired fleas. Don't ask me how, but I was in a panic to get rid of them. I went on line to research the best method and items to use. I also went to my vet. They had a similar product but they told me it took 12 - 24 hrs to dry. I chose the Ultracide because it said it dried in 30 minutes and wasn't harmful to pets. I was very pleased with the results - walking into my cat's room and seeing a couple of dozen fleas on my white socks (before using the Ultracide), to walking in and seeing no specks (after using). I couldn't be happier.

I am really pleased and happy with the results. I have used Advantage on cats and Ultracide for the house. So far that is the only thing that works. I regret I spent so much money for the staff they sell in stores, non of them really work.

I have used this spray numerous times with varying results. On the whole it really works but you need to also purchase and use the treatment that goes on the pet. It needs to be re-applied several times as well.
