Raid Flea Killer

We bought Raid Flea Killer a few weeks back when we had the major flea issue, and used it on our sofa and loveseat, which seemed to be a flea hotbed despite constant vacuuming.

After we sprayed, we literally had dead fleas by the hundreds on the couch, and one application of this stuff stopped the flea problem in the furniture.

Raid Flea killer works very well, though you should make sure you use it in a ventilated area, especially if you have someone who is sensitive to chemicals in the house or have sensitive animals such as birds.

The product sells for $9 at Walmart, and is good for many applications so it's a pretty good value.

Pros: Kills fleas quickly, works great on furniture/carpeting, easy to apply, low cost

Cons: Wicked fumes...use with the windows open and adequate ventilation

We have had our share of flea problems. The worst infestations occur when we travel and take the host with us. It's amazing how fast fleas multiply in an empty house when you didn't even know they were there! We are often gone for a couple of weeks at a time. We have returned numerous times, only to have to check-in to a local motel while we treated the house. Last time we left for 2 1/2 weeks and left Raid Fumigators going as we locked the door. Came home to nary a pest! It's a month later, and we still don't have any fleas!! Don't waste your money on a bunch of bombs that leave yucky stuff on everything. These are dry, and yeah I guess poison is everywhere, but at least you can't feel it!

Pros: Very effective.

Cons: Usual concerns with poisons.
