Flea Stoppers
Flea Stoppers
Flea Stoppers, manufactured by Flea Stoppers, is a effective white flea killing granule that kills flea larvae and adults hiding around your home or structure within 3 to 5 days.
This specially formulated product contains the active ingredient orthoboric acid 100%, which has a low toxicity level making it safe for children and pets. Fleas will feed on this flea killing product then start to dehydrate and eventually die. This fine granule allow for easy application while applying to carpet and allows very little to be removed with daily cleaning activities such as vacuuming.
Flea Stoppers conveniently provides vet-quality flea protection without the expense of a vet visit. This 5 lb. flea treatment container for homes and businesses covers 2,000 sq. ft. and works up to 14 days, effectively disrupting the flea life cycle.
Tools Needed
There are no tools needed to apply Flea Stoppers, but you will need a broom to assist you in spreading the granules and getting the product deep within the fibers of your carpeting.
How to Use
- Step 1: Vacuum all carpet thoroughly and dispose of bags contents in an outdoor trash receptacle before application. Determine how much Flea Stoppers to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Apply 1 lb. of Flea Stoppers per 400 sq. ft. of treatment area.
- Step 2: Apply the correct amount of Flea Stoppers directly on the carpet where pets frequently traffics or sleeps. Work materials into carpet fibers and mat with a broom or carpet rake. Any material visible after application must be brushed into carpet fibers or removed. Wait 5 to 7 days before vacuuming.
- Step 3: Allow 3 to 5 weeks to pass after Flea Stoppers application before reapplying. When this time passed you can reapply this product if flea activities continue.
Where to Use
Flea Stoppers can only be applied to indoor carpets.
When to Use
Use Flea Stoppers when you have an indoor flea infestation and want a relatively low-toxic method of handling the infestation.

Q:Is it safe to use on hardwood floors?3/10/23A:I put this on my hardwood, my carpet, my concrete basement floors, as well as my hard furniture. I leave it for a couple days and vacuum. Flea problem solved. If you look into origins of fleas they can lie dormant until conditions are right and then your inundated with them. I use this because it REALLY works.

Q:Will this kill roaches & spiders?7/1/21A:Since you apply it to carpet and couch and chair cushions where fleas go to breed, I don't think it will be effective for roaches or spiders since they normally don't go to those locations.
