Black Flag Flea & Tick Spray Plus Growth Regulator Home Treatment, 4 Pack

EXCELLENT product!! We were quite SHOCKED when our "Indoor-ONLY" Kitty became infested w/ fleas! (😨YIKES!) We can only suspect that the fleas somehow entered our cozy, flea-FREE environment either by hitching a ride on the shoes/clothing of a recent visitor to our home who has pets, came in one of the many boxes or pkg deliveries we frequently receive, or one of our family members allowed a tag-along in, as they trekked thru our VERY "pet friendly" neighborhood. (That's just a 'Heads-Up' to anyone wanting to be vigilant.) At 1st we were in FULL denial when Jasmine (our kitty😻) 1st started "scratching" herself, thinking it must just be a mild case of dermatitis, or "something." Because after all, she NEVER leaves the house, so it CAN'T be fleas!! Oh, boy...how WRONG were we!!! (Consider that another 'Heads-Up!' I would suggest to just CHECK your fur baby at the VERY 1st sign of scratching/itching. DON'T make our mistake!!😰) I then noticed her scratching becoming incessant. Even to the point where she would wake from a deep sleep to SCRATCH! She even looked miserable. By the time I realized what it could possibly be, my POOR baby was infested w/ fleas!!😣 After FRANTICALLY scouring nearly EVERY website @ the internet & learning EVERYTHING there is to KNOW about FLEAS...I was ready for the "BATTLE!!!" (That's the term I hear/read ppl use all the time regarding their experience(s) with fleas. Because trust me...it IS just THAT: a full-blown "BATTLE!"😡 Lol) What I initially thought was harmless cat "dandruff" turned out to be flea EGGS! And my kitty had been shedding them everywhere in the house! (😨Yikes, again! Because I do mean EVERYWHERE!!) I headed to Amazon & LOADED my cart w/ EVERYthing & ANYthing that I thought I would need to fight this scourge of fleas! Flea & Tick: □ Shampoo, check; □ Tablets, check; □ Drops, check; □ Collar, check; □ New Vacuum Cleaner (You betcha, that's how determined I was to "WIN" this Battle! Lol) check; □ Wipes, check; □ Flea & Tick combs, check; and lastly the most important ingredient in the Recipe to kill those pesky PESTS... □ Spray!!! But, Holy Smokes...WHICH ONE?! Sooo many choices, sooo many price points!!😫 Where do I even begin?!😲 So I bought a WHOLE bunch of DIFFERENT ones: #1) Adam's: worked somewhat ok, but the smell & scent overwhelmed us, & our kitty HATED it! For the price, I thought, there could be better. #2) Hartz: GR8 price, worked relatively well. Good choice if you're needing to be extra price-conscious & need something that works. #3) Ortho (Aerosol): a bit pricey for such a small can, but does a GR8 job for hitting "hot spots" & dishing out an "instant kill!" Must use sparingly or, it'll all be gone B4 you know it! #4) Ortho (Liquid-Gal): Pretty decent job, no better or worse than the others. Didn't see any significant difference from others. #5) Black Flag Extreme Flea Killer (THIS Guy): I saved the BEST for last, because this puppy DOES the job BEST!! It incorporates the MUST-HAVE "IGR" component that helps win the "Battle" over those tiny monsters & their different "Life Stages," & you definitely NEED to catch them ALL in ALL of their various stages; adults, eggs, larvae, pupae, it has a clean scent that everyone in the house could live with, Jasmine didn't scamper off frantically at the 1st wiff of it (like she did w/ Adam's!) - in fact, she followed right behind me whilst I was spraying around the house, curious to see what I was doing - is priced quite fairly for its size (altho I noticed it went up a couple dollars from my 1st purchase to my 2nd; $11.XX to $13.XX - but that's ok👌 w/ me because it DOES WORK!👍, and it UNdoubtedly, absolutely knocked-DOWN the flea population in our humble abode, like nobody's business!!! The difference between all the other sprays & THIS guy was UNmistakable!! We noticed results almost immediately!! I can highly recommend THIS product WITHOUT ANY HESITATION!!! Needless to say...$200-$300 later I had EVERY hope that I could WIN this particular "Battle!" (Lol...I HATE losing @ ANYthing!) Knock on wood, we're about 99.9% there. (After nearly 3-4 mos of this Fight! And I'm tuckered out!😴+🤕) Yeah, I'm finding fleas...BUT, they're all DEAD fleas! (The BEST kind!😂) If you're also in the midst of a "Battle," or just beginning it, your approach has GOT to be MULTI-PRONGED!!! You CANNOT JUST give your fur baby a flea bath, or JUST put a few drops between their shoulder blades, or JUST buy them a flea collar & hope the problem goes away. (Because it WON'T!!) You MUST treat EVERYthing & EVERYwhere your 4-legged beloved one comes in contact with; Beds, Scratching Posts, Chew Toys, Favorite Blankey, etc., along w/ treating him/her. Then vacuum, Vacuum, VACUUM...like there's no tomorrow! Be VERY vigilant w/ baths, drops, buy a decent flea collar, spray liberally, etc. & watch for ANY possible ways fleas can infiltrate your home...And hopefully YOU, too, can WIN your BATTLE against those MUCH hated fleas & ticks!!! Good Luck!!! I hope my long-winded (sorry 'bout that! I had to "share" as much as I could to help YOU, the SAME way others helped ME!) dissertation proves to be of some small measure of help. Fleas & Ticks SUCK BIG TIME!!! WHO NEEDS 'EM?!!!😬 P.S. Just a ☡Cautionary Note - since I already did the Homework: Do NOT treat your pet w/ more than one treatment at a time!!! You do NOT want to overwhelm or shock their system & have them get sick. Please space your treatments, or consult your Vet for further advice. If you can't afford a Vet, check out the website: Flea Science. Terrific info & insight. (No...I'm NOT affiliated whatsoever. Just found it packed w/ exceptional knowledge.) P.P.S. If my Battle starts to falter & the remaining .01% needs to be conquered w/ something else, I've been advised that a WHOLE house "Fogging" might just do the trick! You may want to consider incorporating that in YOUR Battle. Good Luck, again! & Have a GR8 Day!!!😊

This actually works to eliminate fleas! I had tried everything prior to buying this product & nothing seemed to even put a dent in the sudden flea issue on my patio. These fleas were literally living in the cracks of the brick floor on my front porch. I don’t have an animal that would be the cause of this, so idk where this flea population suddenly came from. It was brutal, every time I was out on the porch, I was being bit on my feet & ankles. Fleas were jumping into my fuzzy slippers & I even brought 2 inside my house by accident. Over the course of a week, I tried covering the entirety of the porch with borax, which I did 2 days in a row. I then tried an essential oil based insecticide that claimed to kill fleas (it didn’t) which I used 2 days in a row. Then for the next 2 days, I covered every floor brick & the walls on the porch, with home defense. Which usually will easily kill every type of bug. All this to no avail, after 7 days & 6 separate treatments, I walked outside & had 4 fleas on my foot within a minute. So I researched & learned they can live & breed in the dirt or grime buildup between patio bricks. My porch is pretty regularly cleaned, so I didn’t think it was built up enough to foster flea eggs. Regardless, I spent 4 hrs blasting every speck of dirt out of in between the bricks, plus the walls were sprayed down. After it dried, I saturated the entire porch once again, but now with this flea & tick spray. It does have kind of a strong smell as you spray it, make sure to wear gloves & maybe a mask. The like tube between sprayer & bottle is like an inch long, so you have to carry the jug in one hand & spray with the other. Even trying to keep my distance, I must’ve breathed the overspray in my nose a bit, cause it really irritated my sinuses & caused a sneezing fit. The smell was present for a few hours after, but it wasn’t bad. After all that effort.. I was so happy, it actually worked! Between the intense cleaning & applying this spray, to every crack, every brick surface & the perimeter of the porch. I almost couldn’t even believe it. No more fleas in the last few days since using this product! I do anticipate spraying again though, probably within a week, just in case there’s any eggs still in the cracks. At the same time I ordered this spray, I also ordered these little traps that have a sticky glue sheet & a heat light above them to attract the fleas. I put those out at night, on the same day that I sprayed this, as those sticky sheets would show if there were still any living on the porch, even if not jumping on me. Luckily, I have not found any fleas in the sticky trap, just mosquitoes. Hooray for this spray! Don’t waste your time with any other products, just use this first! I wish I would’ve, it would have saved me from a dozen itchy flea bites on my ankles.

This is of the name brand quality gallon with a self-tapping sprayer. You can lock it so that it's not just ready to use at any time. It seems to work okay. I live in the south. Fleas are bad. We use this around entries. Doorways patios porches.

I’ve been pleased with the Black Flag Flea and Tick Yard Treatment. With dogs spending time outside, I like treating the yard as another layer of protection against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and other unwanted insects rather than only dealing with the problem once they make their way inside. The hose-end application makes treating a larger area much easier than having to mix concentrate in a separate sprayer. I can connect it to the garden hose and work my way around the yard, paying particular attention to the areas where my dogs spend the most time. One 32-ounce bottle covering up to 5,000 square feet is also a good amount for my needs. After treating the yard, I’ve noticed fewer pest issues, especially when I stay consistent with treatment and general yard maintenance. I also appreciate the claimed extended flea control because I don’t want to have to spray the entire yard every few days. Overall, this has been a convenient addition to my outdoor pest-control routine. It’s easy to apply, covers a good-sized area, and has worked well for me. I make sure to follow the label instructions carefully, especially regarding pets and when it’s safe to return to treated areas. I would purchase it again.

It came with a sprayer that spit out in teeny tiny mist like droplets so im assuming the sprayer wasnt working properly which suckedddd cuz i was counting down the minutes until it was delivered for use. But when i tried to return it for that reason the seller immediately sent a new one (and this one was packaged way differently with shrink wrap, the first one wasnt tho it looked new) before i could even send the first one back. So definitely A+ for the seller, to put your mind at ease as far as feeling secure with your purchase. *UPDATE Number One* New pump is amazing! With two options for dispensing the spray, u can have a wide fine mist that covers closer but wider area or the far reaching denser spray u can reach accross a room if u wanted. First thing i noticed was how this spray has virtually little to no smell… every other bug ridding types of sprays smell so strong and even breathing those products in (unavoidable when dispensing) leaves me coughing and running out of the area to catch my breath… knowing ive just inhaled a toxin or poison of some type. This product doesnt do that at all. Fortunately, i started with washing anything washable, like sheets pillows rugs etc, that, while i ran the bath water for flea bath then frontline on my dog and treating every area of the house (first w the poison product until i had this one delivered) immediately upon first sight of a flea on my dog. I still saw my dog itching the next few days until i used this product and until the frontline took effect and now believe this Black Flag Flea and Tick Spray is the reason i was able to totally intercept the oncoming infestation that was inevitable. I literally soaked every area and crack and crevice i could as much as i could. Im super impressed! Hope that helps. *UPDATE Number Two* First… FRONTLINE SUCKS! All types of frontline. Is not effective at all in the past and even again still… and i damn near poisoned my dog by reapplying in desperation. Next, K9 Advantage ALSO equally sucks. Im in awh at just how ineffective both products are. And how p-ed off i am, that over these two and a half months, the money i have wasted on all. So after FOUR (yes four) bottles of this Black Flag and both brands of flea drops, vacuuming and washing everything like a maniac, throwing out all rugs in the entire house, WE STILL HAVE FLEAS. So, make of it what you will, though ive found the ONLY thing that seems to relieve my dog of her itching is bathing her every other day in dawn mixed with flea shampoo, while my bedding is being washed/dried in highest heat setting, then and only then, she gets a few days of itch relief. Im almost out of this black flag product out of desperation i still spray every corner and crevice etc daily so its slightly possible that maybe helps account for the few days of a ton less itching/signs of fleas. (Not completely gone just greatly greatly reduced). Hope this helps!

LAST UPDATE: they eventually came back and I ended up buying 3 gallons of this bug spray and while it did knock the flea population down, it never did completely get rid of them. I was being bitten daily. I was having to spray OFF from my knees down every time I walked in the door and every morning when I woke up before my feet could hit the floor. However, I will tell you what eliminated the flea population. I went to the veterinarian and got a $79 box of a medication called Bravecto. I applied it and left it on my cat for several hours waiting for it to dry and then I brought her inside and in less than four days I have not had any flea bites at all and the veterinarian did tell me the cat with the Bravecto on board is going to be my flea eliminator. Appears she was right!! I’m giving a two star for now but I just got it. I don’t know if it works yet, but I can tell you that the sprayer is terrible. I’ve had to waste half of a bottle of home defense, clean it out disinfect the bottle and waste a whole bunch of this trying to pour it in there without the funnel I needed, so don’t expect great things from the sprayer. I will update when and if it kills the fleas. UPDATE: I received this flea killer on Monday 5/18/26. This is Wednesday evening 5/20/26. I have sprayed baseboards, area, rugs, wood floors, and I have done that to every room in the house two times now. I’ve vacuumed morning and evening. The first time there were fewer fleas, but they were still getting on me. After the second time they were still getting on me, but only in one area right here in the living room by my chair. This afternoon, I sat down in my chair after work and a flea immediately got on my wrist. I was about ready to light to match because this has been mentally and physically exhausting, that’s when it hit me. My cat slept in this chair constantly while I was gone to work and she was constantly beside me in this chair when I was home, and this is a recliner with a purchased recliner cover over it. I immediately took the cover off and the blanket thats normally on the chair and both chair arm covers and put them in steaming hot water in the washing machine for a long cycle and then dried them twice on high heat. I vacuumed the chair cracks and crevices and all over and I have not had a flea on me since I removed this chair cover. Now even when I’ve had the exterminator come years ago he told me keep up the vacuuming daily for a couple of weeks because it’s a process so I plan to continue vacuuming daily, but I have been cleaning and doing laundry this evening and I’ve been walking all around my house barefoot with no off bug spray from the knees down and have not had a single flea on me.

I purchased Black Flag Extreme Flea Killer Plus Growth Regulator RTU hoping it would eliminate the flea infestation in my home, but after trying THREE gallons of this product, I can confidently say it’s a complete waste of time and money. 1. Does Not Work at All I followed the instructions exactly, spraying multiple times over a few days, but it had zero effect on the fleas. I applied the first gallon thoroughly with no results, then used a second and third gallon, thinking maybe it needed multiple treatments. In the end, it didn’t kill a single flea. This product is completely ineffective, and the fleas were as bad as ever. 2. Misleading Claims The product advertises itself as an extreme flea killer with a growth regulator, but it does nothing of the sort. I was hoping this would be a long-term solution, but the fleas remained unaffected. Compared to other flea treatments I've used, this one fails in every aspect. 3. Unsafe and Hazardous Not only did this product not work, but it also caused me significant discomfort. After spraying, I experienced nausea and headaches for three days straight. Despite its claims, this product is NOT safe to use, and I was extremely concerned for my health. For something that didn’t even solve the problem, this health risk is unacceptable. 4. Had to Buy a Different Product After wasting time and money on this ineffective product, I finally gave up and went to Home Depot, where I bought a different flea treatment. The new product worked perfectly and got rid of the fleas almost immediately, making me realize just how poor the Black Flag spray is in comparison. 5. Final Verdict – Avoid at All Costs I would strongly advise anyone dealing with fleas to avoid this product entirely. It’s a complete waste of money, doesn’t work, and can even cause health issues. I spent days battling not just fleas, but also nausea and headaches, all for a product that did nothing to solve the problem. Save yourself the trouble and find a more reliable solution elsewhere. Black Flag Extreme Flea Killer is one of the worst products I’ve ever used

I live out in the COUNTRY surrounded with nothing but fields and forest. I also live in the South. We have a flea problem every Summer. I bought this and spayed as directed. It really did work and the smell didn't last long. For the price this was the best way to go. If I need it again I will re-purchase.
