I've used this product for nearly 20 years and have found NOTHING that works better! This stuff goes a long way - just a few short bursts here & there has controlled any flea infestation we've ever had. I have 19 dogs, and half of them stay in the house most of the time, and we hardly EVER have any flea problems. If we do, a light spray around inside with the area treatment, a good dog washing with the Vet Kem shampoo, and a good yard spraying takes care of the problem. One of the best things about the Siphotrol spray is the "Precor" stuff that keeps the fleas from maturing - When you use this stuff, you don't have to worry about the next flea "hatching" in a couple of weeks! Also, it doesn't hurt your furry friends. This line of pet products just can't be beat! (And it doesn't STINK to high heaven like so many other products!)

Summer took me completely unaware: the fleas were terrible, the dogs were miserable, barking, scratching, chewing. I knew I needed help with this problem. So I took the three dogs to the vet. They got baths and the vet asked if I used Frontline. I do -- I use it religiously year-round because we are far enough south to have fleas even in winter time.

This year the frontline was not enough. The vet told me to use siphotrol for all the dog's sleeping areas and bedding. He also told me to vaccuum daily and use Capstar pills for about a week to get ahead of the problem.

By that evening after spraying the bedding and sleeping corners, and giving the dogs capstar, the dogs were all much happier and much more comfortable. The siphotrol spray seems to have done the trick. I have used capstar with frontline before, but never had the siphotrol. This time, the flea problem has not returned. At first I was nervous about the mounting cost of flea control because the Siphotrol spray was approximately twice as expensive at the vet than I found it on amazon. But now that I found it on amazon, I feel much better buying it.

The spray smells pretty strongly (smells like RAID or other insect spray), but the smell is very short-lived. It does not leave any residue on the carpet or couches. The directions are very clear and very simple. Spray area, let sit a little while, then everyone can reoccupy their spots flea free. The spray claims treated areas remain treated for 2 weeks, which about right (though I think it is a bit less).

None of the dogs seem to mind that their beds were sprayed (DO NOT SPRAY YOUR DOG WITH THIS). I will use this spray all summer long, especially at the prices I found on amazon.

As with any treatment for your pets, I WOULD ask the vet first about this product. But if they suggest it for you, i would buy it on amazon without hesitation.

This is an excellent product. We had fleas about 5 years ago and again recently. We used this then and bought it again. It was recommended by our vet. It is a little more expensive than products at Walmart or Kmart, but well worth the money.

We moved into a rental home (previous tenants had a dog) and our indoor cats we have had for over 6 years that have NEVER had fleas were all of the sudden infested, as was the carpet. It got bad because we didn't realize what was happening at first since our cats have never had fleas and we are in a very nice rental property. I even steam cleaned our carpets and there were MORE than before. Every time I vacuumed I would empty the contents into a plastic bag and it would be crawling with them, my 19 mo old was getting eaten alive.

The vet gave our cats capstar and revolution and put this spray in our hands. We have probably been overly cautious but since we have a 4 yr old and 19 month old we have done room by room and leaving the room sealed for a few days afterwards. The most I have found vacuuming after the fact is ONE flea so far. We have done 5 rooms and have two to go, I would say that this stuff is amazing and does just what it says! We will see if it keeps a new hatching from happening. I am hoping so!

I have used Siphotrol Plus II Premis Spray for several years, and it's definitely effective in the prevention of flea re-infestation. I have multiple pets, and this, along with the spot-on type flea & tick prevention keeps our home pest free. This product is a dry spray -- no sticky residue. It works!

We moved into a new house, where the previous owners had had a dog. The carpets were cleaned with a rug doctor. About a week after moving in, we noticed lots of small red itchy marks all over our ankles. I soon discovered when standing in one spot on the carpets, little black dots quickly appearing all over my legs. Captured a few in soapy water, and sure enough, they were fleas.

We vacuumed the carpets almost every day, and I bombed the living room and porch where the dog had it's bed previously, and it made no difference. We then tried diatomaceous earth, and it still made no difference (although it did make a hell of a mess with powder all over everything). Then I got this stuff. It works almost like a fogger, but you control it. It makes a low cloud that covers everything and will even get under furniture pretty easily. We have probably about 800 square feet of carpet, and it used most of the container. Waited a day or so before walking on the carpet again, and the fleas were totally gone. The porch, where within 30 seconds you would have 10-15 fleas jumping on you, has 0. I spend 45 minutes on the porch in bare feet talking on the phone, and not one flea.

This stuff really works. I'd easily pay double the price for this stuff, because it's 100% effective. If you have fleas, don't hesitate to get this, and don't bother with anything else.

Works well for three months after a good vacuming. Kind of bug spray smelling for awhile. I cannot find a better product.

This will kill the fleas, eggs and larve in your home. We had a severe flea infestation this year and after applying flea preventative to my cats, we then went room to room cleaning and spraying this stuff. It has kept the fleas from returning. You need to keep the animals away till it dries about 10-20 minutes and there is some odor, not as bad as someother products, and it goes away fairly quickly. This is my second order of this as I dont want to be without it.

My vet introduced us to this product 15 years ago and I wouldn't think to use anything else.
We are a two pet home and since moving to the south we've really had to fight the fleas the past couple of years. Sadly no vet in my area carries the product. Even my own vet said that they used to carry it and can't remember why they stopped?!?
I've used frontline on the girls but also have used the spray bottle, the flea spray on the pets, and now the foggers - the house is just too large to handle with the spot spray.
I've never found anything that works better. Just my two cents...

I use this every year starting the end of July through Sept. to kill fleas in the carpets and on furniture and all areas where the animals lay. Coupled with frontline we keep the fleas out of the house and off the animals! Living in an area that produces an abundance of fleas every year, it is not something I can be without.
