I don't know but I suspect that it does not kill the flea eggs or possible direct contact with the egg is required. It required several applications as the fleas came back several times but in smaller numbers each time.

On the back of the label it says it kills bedbugs and gets rid of an infestation. With regular use it can prevent bedbugs and infestations to begin with so I'm not a 100 % sure. But I will say when I use on a regular bases I can see that it does of really good job of killing the bedbugs period including the larvae not sure about the eggs though. There were too spots in particular the bugs like to use as a hangout nest so to speak and the spray definitely cut down on it barely a issue now. I think as long as you use on a regular bases it will take care of the eggs and the larvae because it's suppose to kill on contact and prevent infestation. I know this is a little lengthy but I hope this helps answer your question this is a really good product and would tell anybody to get this and use it will save you a lot of sleepless night,anti-itch spray for bug bites and being in a bad mood because you got huge bumps on your body from the bites in first that you can't to do much about and have to go down on their own.

I didn't have problems with flea eggs so I couldn't tell if the product was effective for treating them. I used it mostly for spiders and other small insects. I recently had termite inspection done in my house. I was told my house was clean of insects (except for some termite problems).

It does say on the label that it kills fleas and that was our purpose for buying these. We did not see any after use but did not think that we had a bad problem before we used the fogger. I would call it effective, but can't speak to how well it would work if you had "an infestation"?

I'd imagine that if you can see the fleas this should kill them on contact. This is the only thing that works. I needed it for carpet. Fleas kept cycling. This the only thing that works.

It lists bed bugs as one of the bugs that it will kill, we have used this product for years and it essentially kills any crawling, flying insect, including fleas. We use this in our house, it is safe once it has dried!

We have tried several products for the cat and this kills adult and newborn fleas. I treat the ground outside and then the animals and the combination works.

Nylar (pyriproxyfen) and Precor (methoprene) have similar modes of action. Both are IGR (insect growth regulators)--they are not toxic--they disrupt the insect life cycle, preventing them from developing into adults that can reproduce. I am more familiar with Percor and it is quite effective. They are both pretty much harmless to mammals. If you have a pet with fleas you really need to use an IGR in the home everywhere. Put the 1 oz into a gallon of "distilled" water (that way it won't leave mineral stains) and mix. Then spray (with a spray bottle) all your carpets and the corners and edges of rooms that don't have carpets. I spray the parts of curtains that the dogs come in contact with and spray furniture, especially under seat cushions if your pets spend time on your furniture and mattresses and box springs. Precore has a long lasting effect (7-9 months). Don't use anywhere near fish tanks. An IGR is a "must" if you really want to be done with fleas--otherwise they will come back--along with a product like Frontline (there are now knock-offs, since the patent expired) monthly on your dogs (not cats) throughout the flea season. Precore breaks down with sunlight, so it is not good for outdoors (also it can affect honey bees, birds and fish). Also, sunny window areas should be treated more often. There are carpet sprays with Nylar or Precore mixed with insecticide for both short term killing and long term IGR control. I don't like to use those more than absolutely necessary. As a preventative, you can use Precore/water mixture once a year at the beginning of flea season and it will prevent fleas from spreading if one happens to come inside your home.

I also use the Victor flea trap inside. This thing works great. Leave it for 2-3 days in different rooms around the house (barn). I also use a DIY tobacco/garlic/orange oil tincture in a pump spray in my yard that works really well. I have to apply once a month to catch to new hatches but it also keeps down ants and other bugs with less toxic "natural" ingredients. We had a pretty bad flea infestation (4 dogs) so I've been attacking the flea war from all sides.

I am not sure if the product kills the eggs on contact or after time but I do know that it kill it all. I can say it kills the live bed bugs on contact. It got rid of all my bed bugs. Make sure you follow the instruction and remove all cloth. Wash them and spray the whole house.

It prevents the fleas from being able to lay eggs by using a chemical that's a hormone disruptor. I usually spray it on the rugs, vacuum a day later. I don't ever see any residue, but I can feel it wet on my feet for a short while afterwards. You have to spray again about a week later to kill and disrupt those fleas that have just hatched from the eggs. I don't think there's anything on the market that will actually kill eggs before they hatch. But after 2 or 3 sprays, you're done. Unless your pet keeps bringing in more fleas from outside. Then you have to treat the animal too, which is always a good idea. Hope this helps. It prevents the fleas from being able to lay eggs by using a chemical that's a hormone disruptor.

I personally wouldn't know, (because I didn't see the eggs/larvae themselves) but if not on contact, it probably kills them within seconds or minutes at the most, probably. Either way, this product works!! I'm not a paid reviewer or someone affiliated with the company that makes this in any way, shape or form, but I stand by my reviews and opinions on this. If you're still wondering whether or not to get this product, I'd say go for it: It gets it done!!

My understanding is that it has to build up in the system which is why I begin giving it to my dog and cat before flea season gets going. I can't say if it works at killing an existing infestation of fleas, but in my experience it repels fleas from becoming a problem.

Sorry I'm so late in responding but I haven't checked my email in a while . I don't know that the product kills mites; it will kill fleas . My best recommendation would be to ask a vet for a good product .
