are flea sprays safe to use in rooms with computers or flat screen tvs ?

I have used it but not in close proximity to items above. I usually spray the floor.

I myself have never tried it. I did spray my router and cable modem directly and nothing happened. If you want to play it safe, I would turn off the devices...then spray them. Wait an hour or so then turn them back on.

I have used this in rooms with both computers and flat screen tvs and havent had any trouble with either!

I don't see why not. I have used this spray indoors with many electronic devices powered on. Maybe you are confusing this product with flea "bombs" which can cause a fire or explosion if the insecticide gas comes into contact with something like an oven pilot light or a plugged-in electronic device.

I sprayed the carpet throughout my entire apartment with no problems. I have a computer in my bedroom, and it was not affected at all. I don't own a flat screen TV. After spraying, I opened some windows, and waited outside for a while for the fumes to subside.

I use an internal flea preventative called Nexguard, so don't have to worry.

Dust lightly every cloth/carpet surface in the home, you will need an applicator also. Yes it will work down to the padding on the carpet, reapply regularly. Be sure and hit the dogs bed too or cats. Remember it is not a poison and will not immediately kill all fleas, it takes a few days for the fleas to get it on them and die. I would use a dust mask for you and keep the animals out of the home till the dust settles. You can eat it without problem, but as an asthmatic I try and watch what goes into my lungs

i have not used this product on my cats, but i've used it on myself and my horses (for fly/mosquito repellent) with no ill effects. i'm not sure how effective i woudl be against fleas, but i don't think it would be an issue.

Use a spray cleaner designed for PC/laptop screens or TV screens and a microfiber cloth

No. The sticky paper is covered by a large screen that holds the paper in place. This product works well as long as animals in the house are medicated for fleas and the area is vacuumed regularly and sprayed with a flea product especially around the sides of the room or kennel. This product alone will not take care of an infestation but it will help to maintain a healthy kennel area.

I also sprayed it on a wooden end table and a bookshelf that held fabric. This stuff works wonders, haven't had a flea since January!

I also used this in the 90's and it was very effective even though i limited the spray to their bedding and the garage (where their beds are). i used it sparingly. We had a number of years where we didn't use it as the flea situation did not warrant it, however, this year called for heavy guns since the fleas were not responding as well to the diatomaceous earth applications as in the past. So we sprayed their bedding and garage judiciously and very lightly sprayed a couple dusty, flea-prone areas in our yard. We also applied a small amount near the base of two of our longer-haired dogs' tails where the fleas were heavily concentrated. There was a noticable drop in the flea population within a few days and we have only sprayed their bedding one more time since then (about a month after first application). Now when we flea comb them at night they are down to a couple of fleas (if that) instead of a bustling metropolis. This is saying something as the warm weather season is still in effect in Southern California. And we did continue to use DE in conjuction with Adams both on their bedding and fur. I would recommend always wearing gloves and spraying during calm conditions. We kept the dogs away from recently sprayed areas until they were thoroughly dry for safety's sake. I prefer to use natural products whenever possible but we had to make an exception this year. Good luck.

You want to catch this problem as early as you can. Trust me, if you can put on socks and see them jumping on your feet that's pretty bad. You don't want to wait for the sock test to be a viable test. The minute you think you got a bite put a white dish with some soapy water (not full of bubbles, just gently mix in a good amount of dish soap) on the floor and use a reading lamp or whatever light will work to put a light about a foot high over the soapy water. Leave it overnight, the only light in the room the lamp light over the soapy water. If there is a single flea in that room it will be dead in the water in the morning. If you check it in the morning and it's empty, just soapy water, there are no fleas.

I don't spray my counters etc. I usually just spray the flooring, around the windows and exterior doors. My pets have walked on the carpeting almost immediately and I have seen no ill effects from that. Hope this works for you! I sprayed twice so far this year, only because the carpeting was cleaned about a month after I initially sprayed. No fleas. And the best is that I have NOT used any flea treatments on 3 cats and a dog. The dog and 2 of the cats go outside everyday, and either we aren't having a bad flea season which is really hard to believe, or if they have any, whatever is residual in the house, is killing the insects. I love this product. Good luck at your house with it!

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

You probably did not need to tear up all the carpet if fleas was your only problem, this would have killed the fleas living in your carpet and their nest, it was recommended by bet to me, and works very well. You can now spray the woodwork and floor. Have a window open and close the door behind you when you are done. Don't enter the room again for 30 minutes or so. They will all be dead.

I sprayed right on the carpet next to the bedding of my cat - no problems. I believe the directions say it is safe. I don't have the can to double check but I wouldn't have jeopardized my pet by unsafe use.

It works well on fleas if they come in contact with the sprayed moisture. I tested by capturing three fleas, putting them in a glass jar, and spraying a light mist into the jar. All 3 fleas died instantly on contact. The challenge is making sure they come in contact with the solution before it dries. I don't know if the dried solution will kill them.

I wouldn't think so at all. It's just cotton balls soaked in pyrethrin inside a cardboard tube. This is the same insecticide you may use around your house to kill fleas and ticks. The Tick Tubes actually provide a safer, more effective method of dispersing the insecticide.

If the area is closed (no air coming through), I'm sure you can. If it is an outdoor area, I would recommend using Diatomaceous Earth. It repels and kills fleas. You can buy it at pet stores or Home Depot.

Yes! this product DOES kill flea eggs also! Now, I will say in my experience, you may need to apply this product to the animal as well as floor, furniture, and bedding a second time in order to be sure the eggs are really treated and to catch any "sneaky" ones that may slip by. It is really very effective and economical.
