what is the best product to get rid of fleas in your yard?

Answer 1

you find out youlet me know

Answer 2

Like most insect control, successful flea
treatments must stop the "cycle". This cycle I am
referring to includes the eggs, larva, pupa and
adult. Here is a brief description of the cycle from
start to finish. 1) An adult flea jumps onto you, your
pet, your child, etc. and gets a meal. Fleas feed on
blood and although their mouth is small, a flea bite
can hurt and most certainly can become inflamed,
itchy and swollen. Many people, myself included,
and many pets are allergic to flea bites. If you have
flea bites and want to get some relief as well as
promote healing, use some BITE OINTMENT. This product
will take away the itch and discomfort. Furthermore,
if you are in some line of work which constantly
puts you in some environment with fleas, consider
using a flea repellent. We have three formulations
which work very well at keeping them off you and
your clothes. For the skin, treat with either our
CITRONELLA LOTION or our DEET. Citronella has long
been used as a general insect repellent. The Deet
is definitely the "stronger" of the two and will
only have to applied once or twice a day, depending
on the type you get. We have unique "scents"
which are not offensive and our super strong
100% Deet is the only "low odor" formulation on
the market. For your clothing, use our PERMETHRIN
which is completely odorless when applied. 2) Once fed,
the flea will look to mate and immediately lay eggs.
This can occur in the yard, the house, and on the
pet. 3) In the next two to three weeks, the average
life of a flea, hundreds and hundreds of eggs will be
laid. Some of these may fall in the yard, some in the
house and some will remain on the pet. 4) When
the eggs hatch, a small caterpillar like creature
comes out to feed on anything organic. This
includes dried blood, flea feces, animal hair and a
variety of otherwise disgusting organic matter in the
yard, the carpet and on your pet. 5) The flea larva
will feed for days after which it will spin a cocoon
and undergo metamorphosis. This stage is called the
flea pupa. This is the worst stage of all because we
can't kill it !! That's right! No spray will kill flea
pupa consistently or completely. This is why you
still have fleas following the most thorough
treatment. And this is why you should know the flea
cycle and how to break it. 6) The cycle is then
completed when the flea pupa hatches out. This
hatching occurs when a hot blooded meal is close at
hand. Only then will the flea risk coming out of its
protective cocoon. And when it does, it will bite
and the cycle will start all over again.

Answer 3

Most people will use some sort of pesticide such as malithion or diazion. Both of these will work. HOWEVER, THE BEST METHOD IS NATURAL. Remember the old saying "Each animal has his own flea feeding on him" All fleas have a natural enemy called nematodes. You can get them from any GOOD pet supply or feed store. The product comes in a dry power form in usually 16 oz containers. Simply spread the power through out the yard. The area you are treating should be damp when applied. The nematodes will attack the fleas and the population of fleas will die off.

Answer 4

When it comes to pesticides there is no silver bullet, they all are toxic one way or another to your Kittie, they can cause kidney and liver damage, neurological disorders, seizures, skin cancer need i go on.
There are some non toxic flea control products for the yard on the market, 1- Bio Flea Halt, 2- interrupt, 3- ANTidote which preys on fire ants and fleas.
These products can be bought in some pet stores, feed stores and garden shops.
They are applied by sprayer bottle.

Answer 5

Okay speaking from experience, sucks to be you.
well, I found the spray stuff you hook to your hose is by far the easiest. Put it on in the morning (early). I kills a variety of other bugs too, so that's a plus. If you don't have a hose, the stuff called Triazinon you put in a spreader works too, but you have to do it right before it rains. Make sure the package says it kills fleas and ticks. Also, don't forget to do the inside of your house. I liked Hartz spray (in the pet section at walmart). And wash all bedding and rugs. Also, use a flea preventitive from your vet like Frontline Plus. It's water proof and affordable. The stuff over the counter from stores can cause nerve damage in pets. Good Luck.

Answer 6

If you still have your animals put "fronline plus" on them. You can purchase it from the vet office. It will kill fleas on the animal and all its surrounding areas.(yard,carpet, ect.)It is a very good product. Its a little expensive but is worth it. You dont have to take your animal in to get the meds, but you cant purchase it anywhere but from a vet. If you dont have animals and you still have fleas in the yard then go to your local vet and they will have something for the yard to treat it.

Answer 7

Lime received't influence them. Get some liquid Sevin backyard spray and spray the backyard. keep it sprayed after each and each rain or about once a week. it quite works nicely. do not spray pets with the liquid. Borax works for roaches, yet i imagine you'll discover fleas do not provide a darn.

Answer 8

i had an ant problem and dewey exterminators came out
and put some solution around the yard and since then
my neighbors and i have never had a flea or ant problem again

Answer 9

nematodes, natural enemy of the flea. They feed on developing fleas. When the fleas are gone they will die off. look up more info on the computer.

Answer 10

boric acid sprinkled on a wet yard or bio flea halt but the best is ANTidote as it kills fire ants too

Answer 11

diazinon. or something new: Triazinon.

just saw the latter in the store last week. I bought 3 bags. (but I have 2 acres to cover.)
