Carol from Tarpon Springs Florida writes
I have old hardwood floors (lots of cracks) and upholstered furniture to treat. Am I correct in that I would first spray with Alpine, let dry, then apply Flea stopppers? If I only used Fleastoppers on the floor, would I need to retreat whenever I mopped or does the boric acid stay active in the floor cracks even if it get wet?
Flea Stoppers is designed only to be applied to carpets. Alpine Flea with IGR can be used on hardwood floors, furniture, area rugs, etc. It can be applied to almost any surface. However, you should always treat a small area first and allow it to dry before treating the entire area just to make sure there are no issues. The most important part of any flea treatment though is to vacuum very thoroughly before the treatment, then every 2 to 3 days after the treatment. You should then apply a second treatment in exactly 14 days after the first one. Apply flea stoppers first. Rake or brush it to the nape of the carpet. Next apply the Apline.
