Consumer WARNING: Fleabusters Rx 

Best flea treatment I ever used. Hands down. After about a week or two, no fleas in site or on pets for years.

Just to be clear: If you watch the entire video, I am NOT condemning the use of this or any other boric acid based product for flea control. It's just a warning, and yes I probably deserve to be called an idiot for not being more careful, but I followed the directions and the result was unpleasant. I did not observe any fleas in the areas treated after and I haven't died of cancer yet. :P But you should do your own research and not listen to anecdotal evidence: medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002485.htm healthyliving.azcentral.com/how-toxic-is-boric-acid-to-humans-12277449.html

I've been using fleabusters for over 25 years. It works wonderfully. You do need to use common sense when applying it but it is the best, most safe flea treatment around, even once you have an infestation. The nematodes work very well for the outside. When applying the powder, it is important to hold the container low to the floor and not stir up a ton of dust, which I have a feeling is what happened when you were applying it yourself. Awesome, awesome product!

I've been using it for almost 20 years I have 4 kids and a grand child and it never hurt anyone. I also had dogs, cats and ferrets and a chinchilla and never hurt them. I used a plastic bottle like one you buy to put mustard and ketchup in. I cut the hole bigger and I dust every part of my house, the furniture EVERYTHING. Only problem I ever had was when dusting like that you do breath some in. My mouth and lips got like a little numb but never anything else. I have asthma and had no breathing problems. Maybe this time I'll wear a paper mask .. I'm 65 and this is the best flea killer I ever had. It's been over 10 years since I had to use it, yes worked that long for me, probably 15 years. We just found fleas on our dog so now is the time to stop them before they spread. Paul

Thank you for sharing the pitfalls. I'm waiting for my order to arrive to try it for the first time. I'll be sure to wear a mask and eye protection and open the windows.

I wouldn't use anything other than FLEA BUSTERS. I'm ordering some now as maintenance in advance of the hot summer months ahead. It works really well and I've never, ever had any problem with it making me or my four cats sick. Yes, it's a bit dusty but only until it settles and, personally, I prefer the dust to fleas. If you shake it out from waist height, I can see a dust ball coming back at you but good old logic dictates that this is not a great idea. Bend over, squat down, get on your knees, call a friend, get a little closer to the surface or hire the company to apply it. I christened a turkey baster (wrote NOT FOR FOOD all over it in red Sharpie and store it with the product) so I can get it under my baseboards and cabinets. Word has spread in the flea community and FLEAS FEAR FLEA BUSTERS.

I've done over 400 treatments with no call backs, where a mask, sprinkle it out and rub in with a stiff broom and then vacuum 3 days and dump container in toilet. Problem solved in 3 days and it lasts one year in the bottom of carpet to control eggs and larvae. This guy is definitely not a do it yourself person.

I had fleas on me. I used it like baby powder. I put it in the drawers with my clothes. I put it in my hair. It's in my truck. I use it in my food. I use this on my wittle baybee instead of talcum powder. I snort the dang stuff. What's the issue mon?

This stuff works ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!

Have used this product before and it is good. Not sure what he is talking about but used it in 4 different apartments and a house. Works well.

Thank You!

THIS IS SAFEST TREATMENT AND IT WORKS !!! 10 years used in my rescue for over 25 animals in hot buggy FL. My holistic vet recommends this and even gives a discount to encourage use over toxic poisons. The best way is to have the company apply and they guarantee to come back free for heavy infestations or maintenance applications. Yes it is fine powder to fall deep into tiny crevices and rugs where tiny eggs and bugs are and dry them out which is a long term solution. Always use precautions even if using just all natural salt or baking soda or diatemacious earth ( which do not work.) Use a mask goggles and shower after or wear a painters suit with hood and footies like I do. Use a stiff broom to get it in hoding places. Keep vacuuming and air out area follow directions and call # on jug they are very helpful. Please do not let this guy discourage you. Follow directions and use common sense. Your animals are close to the floor daily you need a safe non-toxic treatment that wont cause neurological damage like most do. Get rid of all plug ins , air freshener and do not use chemicals in your rugs or on floors the animals breathe that and skin absorbs. Vets see skin issues on places where animals lay on ground (paws belly...) think about that. I trust Fleabusters over 10 years in S.FL where we get heavy infestations and I have immune compromised animals which do not use poison spot ons or pills. I rely on Fleabusters amd feed my dogs and cats nutritional/ brewers yeast & raw garlic and homeopathic sulphur and. Use a diy natural flea spray on dogs and bedding we are doing great. Good luck EVERYONE.

Ridiculous! It is great! I haven't seen a flea in six years! Use common sense when applying it. I even put it on our dog sparingly and it worked. I give it an A+

It gave me a skin condition for a year. My mom uses it and used it in our childhood home. It's safe and works well I usually vacuum after only 24 hours. Anyway my brother and I were wrestling after my mom had treated and for a full year anytime my skin touched a jagged surface I would get a welt and itch and scrathing it would make it worse. I had to take zyrtec to control the itching. The doctors were baffled. So it's safe works great again but you do need to be careful.

Does it actually work though?

Lesson this guy learned the hard way: don’t breathe in chemicals, dummy

I have used this for years n years with no problens what so ever to me my wife or pets!!! Did u vacuum the excess powder like it tells you to and to spread it properly!!! I never had the powder come flying up at me!!! I think u didnt use it properly!!! This product is also less harmful then salt and i have also handled it in my hands before and rubbed it in to mattresses so im thinking u either are lying or have an allergy to the product either way u shouldnt be making this video at all and falsely misrepresenting the product its an excellent product and works great

My lizard was all in it and nvr got sick

I use Flea Stoppers and it is the same stuff and it works great! Boric acid is relatively non-toxic for people and animals. The way it works is that its molecular charge makes it stick (static cling) to tiny insect bodies (ants, ticks, fleas, roaches, lice, etc.) and it sucks the water out of them. It dehydrates them. That's it! It doesn't poison them, it dries them out and it works great! It is NOT insecticide poison which is highly toxic and dangerous. That's the way poison works - it throws a wrench into cell chemistry and makes it fail. Boric acid simply dries things out. I wouldn't eat it, or roll around in it, or put it in a Hookah pipe, but that's about as far as you need to go in avoiding it. I think this guy is a hypochondriac and his symptoms are psychosomatic and I'm not intending to be disrespectful, just factual. It is very true that people's minds can be just as powerful as physical stimuli. The 'placebo effect' is very real!

Thank you was just about to apply. glad I saw your warning. don't want my animals to get sick. Will look for an alternative.

I got this because I didn't want to use anything extremely toxic around my kid. I am one of those unfortunate individuals like this fellow who seem to react to this product. Walking around barefoot on my carpet I got chemical burns on my feet. I am also asthmatic and just the fine dust in the room was making my chest tight and my lungs burn hours after the application. Not saying it didn't work for others just not me

You need FLEA STOPPERS. It has the toxicity of table salt.

I followed instructions and read a lot of reviews to make sure the product is safe for my family as I have 3 years old toddler. Per instructions, it states it is safe to use around kids. After I applied powder on my carpets, I had to book a hotel room to spend the night with my family because it was hard to breath in the house. Next day I vacuumed all my carpets twice to make sure the powder is partially removed. At 5am I was woken up from hearing my toddler had had time breathing, like having some spasms in his throat. My sister also mentioned having difficulty breathing. I had to call 911 b/c my baby was nonresponsive, drooling saliva, and gasping for air. Non of my family members have any respiratory problems. Thanks God, everything turned out fine. BUT, I had to remove ALL my carpets and place new hardwood flooring. Conclusion: Be careful using this product. Boric acid might seem harmless, but in large amount it can be dangerous even in totally healthy individuals.

I think you have to be hyper sensitive for this to negatively affect you. Turn off all fans and keep your doors open when applying and don’t eat it.

Don't breath it in ding dong!!

Ok you had your 15 minutes of fame. If you don't like it don't buy it. I would reccommened it to anyone.

I been using fleanuster for years and never had any problems. You have to be getting paid to bash this product. Also, fyi, boric acid is used in a lot of laundry detergents. This is a fake review. Sorry buddy...just calling how I see it!
