Bayer K9 Advantix 100 (Over 55-lbs) Review

Bayer K9 Advantix 100 (Over 55-lbs)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have active dogs and live in a rural location where they can chase ground-squirrels and rabbits through brushy areas. As this seems to be a particularly bad year for ticks, we decided to invest in this product as it had good reviews. At first I was concerned because for two days after application I was still finding ticks on the dogs. Then poof! No more ticks showed up on the dogs. I do not know how effective it is on fleas, as we had not noticed any fleas on our dogs prior to using the product. We applied it almost a month ago, and the dogs are still tick-free. We will definitely be purchasing more of this product.

Flea Killer Capsules for Cats and Small Dogs - 12 Mg Nitenpyram Per Capsule ...Same Active Ingredient As Capstar? - 12 Capsules Treats 12 Pets 2 to 25 lbs Review

This is basically a generic version of Capstar. Not only is it cheaper, you get more pills per container. We have had the worst flea season ever and spraying alone didn't seem to make a dent since our pets spend a lot of time outside and the yard is too big to completely cover with insecticide. After we tried the capsules on our pets the adult fleas started dying within 30 minutes. As suggested we sprayed the house and outside area with a home insecticide to kill eggs and larvae that are not affected by these pills. They work by poisoning the adult flea when it bites the dog, so therefore the more eggs you kill beforehand will help reduce the number of capsules you have to give your dog. Also works on our indoor cat as well and they are MUCH happier after just one week. They suggested giving a dose daily for heavily infested dogs (esp. if they are kept outdoors)until you notice a great improvement. We gave one tablet each day for two days, then skipped a day, then skipped 2 days. We only see a couple of fleas falling off our dog now and she isn't scratching.
Would also work if you don't want to spray for the flea eggs, but would have to give the tablets over a longer period of time since the fleas would continually hatch. In effect, you would have to wait until every egg hatched and bit your dog so they would no longer appear.

Adams Flea and Tick Yard Spray with Sprayer Review

Adams Flea and Tick Yard Spray with Sprayer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This yard spray really does the job especially if you have more of a tick problem than a flea problem. Here in Hawaii, there are a lot of ticks. I usually use Frontline Plus, which worked wonders for my two GSDs who also go to obedience school. Anyhow, one month I forgot, and suddenly there is a tick epidemic in my yard and on my dogs.
So, I ordered some of this spray that I had used a long time ago in the past. The packaging was the same. But there was one problem this time. When you get the box, it comes with a child-safe cap that has a foil seal inside. The spray attachment and inner tube/cap are separate. This tube and inner cap is supposed to fit nicely inside the neck of the bottle so that you can easily screw on the sprayer attachment. So, following the instructions, I took off the foil seal and attempted to put in the tube with the plastic cap. The tube fell out of the inner cap part, and into the bottle. Since this was a new bottle, the concentrate was full, and impossible to get the tube part out without spilling the liquid! I ended up using a thin stick I found in the yard to help fish it out. So, I put the tube back into the inner cap, and then a second problem!
This time, the cap part didn't fit in the neck of the bottle! So, I tried forcing it, and suddenly the bottle "gave" out a little and the concentrated formula overflowed on the outside of the bottle. At this point I was getting pretty grumpy and thinking what the heck, this didn't happen the last time I used this brand! Since I orderd two boxes, I opened up the second box and there was the same problem. So I ended up having to use my brass hose nozzle and scraped it around the bottle opening to "stretch" it out a little. I finally got the cap to fit properly and then attached the sprayer. I then turned on the hose with the sprayer on "off" as per the instructions. Suddenly, the sprayer broke apart and I was blasted with water. Thankfully it was only the end part attached to the hose that somehow snapped off. I was able to snap it back on and turning down the water, proceeded to use it on my lawn.
Overall this is a good product and it works. I guess maybe the bottle and sprayer were made in China since the quality was really poor compared to the last time I used it.

Zodiac Carpet And Upholstery Pump Spray -- 24 fl oz Review

Zodiac Carpet And Upholstery Pump Spray -- 24 fl oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The page fails to mention the fact that this Flea spray contains a pesticide in addition to the Growth Inhibitor. It's not safe for use if you have young animals or children running around. This should have been mentioned on the page, instead I had to wait til I received the product to find out. At a $10 nonrefundable shipping price and no reimbursement for costs to send it back, it costs more to try to return it than to just keep it.

Diatomaceous Earth 12oz Shaker Review

Diatomaceous Earth 12oz Shaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had a lot of cockroaches. A lot. It was disgusting. Apparently, they were in the walls, and other condos had problems with them as well. We started out only lightly dusting the Diatomaceous Earth through the kitchen, which is where the biggest problem was. A few weeks went by, and no doubt, some of them were dead. You can tell they were dehydrated. At one point, my boyfriend saw one of them stumbling as if it were drunk, covered in white powder. I knew it was working. We had to sweep them away constantly. But, did they all die? No. We started sprinkling more and more. At one point, the little kitchen was covered in white.
It's very eco-friendly, which is why I tried it. The dog and cat didn't go near it, but it didn't affect them. My boyfriend, who has severe allergies, wasn't affected by it as well. But, some of those suckers wouldn't die! Maybe the other reviewers didn't have as bad as a problem as we did. But, once we moved out (we didn't move out because of the cockroaches, but they did help) and we took away all of the food and moisture, they were pretty much gone.
So yes, it did work. I still have some. It lasts a long time. If I see some in our new place, I will no doubt use it again. Maybe our problem was just too big for this powder.
