Kayleegator Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Siphotrol, hmmm... Wish I'd had that, back in the day when I had a gorgeous collie who was alllergic to fleas (this was also pre-Advantage). Mercy, did we battle fleas! Do you know anything about its toxicity?

OurBoys Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Siphotrol Plus sounds familiar. If it's the same thing I used years ago (pre-Frontline), that stuff was great! And if I'm not mistaken, it's also the same stuff vet's use to keep fleas under control in their office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz P Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ew. I remember those days of ridding the entire house of fleas before we had Frontline. By far the best way I found of really getting rid of the little buggers was steam cleaning everything, including furniture, beds, rugs, etc. It was so therapeutic to see all the little dead fleas in the water after finishing a room. What are the active ingredients in that spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiegirl Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Siphotrol has been around for at least a decade. Black label, white bottle. If you have a flea infestation in your home, the only way to eradicate them is to treat your home every 2 weeks for 6 weeks- and that includes first, advantage on your pets, and then spraying all corners, and under mattresses, and washing EVERYTHING when you treat. My cat came from the shelter loaded with fleas 14 years ago, and that's what I did. Chemicals do not kill all life stages, so you need to treat again as the fleas morph.

cody's mommy Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I guess it isn't so new, then, but yes, my vet uses it to keep fleas at bay n the office. It has worked, so far, and we bombed the complete house prior to spraying with this product, and I found out the company has an inddor and outdoor fogger bomb that I intend to get in about another week to re-bomb for safety purposes because we have not seen any since, but, as you mentioned, it's the larvae you have to eliminate before being flea-free...what a pain in the rumproast this has been....but I think we nipped it now(crossing my fingers) plus we have gotten a major cold snap here this past wekeend which should help! Thanks for the input!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
