Description
Rid your house of fleas all year with one easy application. Fleago is a nontoxic borate crystal salt that dissolves the waxy protective coating on fleas, eggs, and larvae. Because its killing action is mechanical, not chemical, fleas cannot become immune to its effects. Allow two to four weeks for all fleas to disappear.
About Borates
Borate is a popular ingredient found in many natural pest control products. It is a material made from Boron; a compound found in nature and used in many everyday products like soap and laundry detergents. Borate is often misunderstood since technically it is a pesticide as it does kill pests; however it is much safer for users than synthetic pesticides.
In pest control products, borate is found in powder form. This powder serves as an agent that is extremely abrasive to an insect’s exoskeleton and dehydrates it from within. It is effective because the insect cannot build a resistance to it, and it affects insects at all life stages. Results may take a few days to become apparent, but the product will continue to work for up to a year. Borate is odorless, colorless and has no harsh chemicals. Borate products can be applied directly to surfaces, and pose a very low risk to those in direct contact with it when used correctly.
Please note that there will be a strongly worded warning on the label that is mandated by the government, although as with all household products containing such warnings, when used correctly Fleago is quite safe. We have never had a report of an adverse reaction and have used this product ourselves.
Comes in a recyclable #1 PETE container.
Available in 2.2 lbs. (will cover approximately 1,000 sq. ft.)
