its easy to use. didnt have to take animals out of home like with other products. i let it sit an hr then vaccumed. i would recommend u wear a mask if u have one the smell can be bothersom, light headache. you have to treat carpet not just ur pet if u want to get rid of fleas. this product is quick and inexpensive.
I have all my dogs and cats on frontline plus, plus I used this carpet powder as instructed, there are still fleas even after I washed and vacuumed everything, and they are still on my pets!!! This is a very big issue as one of my cats and three of my dogs all have a MAJOR flea allergy. Worst $20 I ever spent.
My poor dag never had fleas before, but I added a cat to the mix and in came the fleas. I tried to do the baths which the cat hated. after three times of that and the fleas were multiplying, I got online to find something to help Raskal (my dog). I put the front line on both cat and dog. than I started in the bedroom I washed everything that could be washed vacuum and put the powder on the rug. I then boomed it in to the rug closed the door and went to the next room. Raskal has been flea free for two weeks now and I am loving it. I would try this product again. The only thing is yes you should wear a cover over month and nose.
I purchased this product and received it almost one week ago. Every month I treat my dog, my home and my yard in that order. Based on the great ratings I decided to try it in my own home with high expectations. The reviews were very accurate as far as the smell being strong and the powder is very overpowering when you begin to sweep it into the carpet. Pets and children should not be present while the powder is actually on the carpet, but that should be expected with any pesticide. Now, when it comes to how well it worked, I couldn't tell you because it hasn't started to yet. It is now one week later, and I must admit that while I do not have a out of control flea infestation, I find that I am still sprinkling powder in my home. I actually just asked myself before I sat down and began to type this review "When is it supposed to start working? How long is it supposed to take?". Sasha loves to be in my room, so a lot of her favorite indoor spots are located in there, and naturally, the fleas are too. (Sighs) I just want something that works...
This is not a product I would buy again. It did not work for me at all. If anyone has another product they would recommend, I'm willing to try it.

Sasha's Mama, thank you for your review. I'm sorry you are not getting the desired results with the Bio Spot Carpet Powder. Please visit this site for complete information on ridding your house and pets of fleas: http://www.1800petmeds.com/pet-med-... If this doesn't work for you, please contact us for a refund or a replacement.
I am planning on purchasing an ear mite medication, but I was also told I would need to treat pet areas such as bedding and carpeting. The mite, I was told can survive up to 72 hours without a blood meal giving it plenty of time to re-infest my pets. Would this product work on ear mite infested areas as well?
Hi Fawn, Great question. The answer to your question is yes. If you wash the bedding and clean the carpeting and use the Bio Spot carpet powder or the Bio Spot Inverted Carpet Spray: http://www.1800petmeds.com/Bio+Spot+Inverted+Carpet+Spray-prod10932.html you will effectively erradicte any residual earmites.
Hello Fawn, We hope you and your furry baby are doing well today. Unfortunately the Bio Spot will not help with any form of mites. We look forward to helping you and your furry baby again.
Allows us to do the research of each of the ingredients if we wish. We can then decide if this is something we want to inhale or subject our children or pets to.

I think if my baby was rolling around on the carpet, I would consider keeping baby off for at LEAST 24 hrs and after 2 or more complete vaccumings. (Actually, I think I would rather see my baby with flea bites, which is awful, but might be the lessor of the 2.)
If you think you ingested some of this powder by inhaling some, or eating some that got on your food, I would urge you to call your physician and discuss this with him/her.
