from Florida on 2/13/2010
Love this products. I use to use advantage for fleas and hated putting that product on my dogs. I feel better putting this non toxic product on my dogs for fleas. Also, if you see any insect in your home sprinkle this stuff on them and it kills them. I also use it around my doors and anywhere that insects might gain access into my home. I like that the main ingredient is diatomaceous earth food grade. Safe for people and pets.

After an awful experience a year ago from a negative reaction to topical toxic flea medicine and nearly losing my best buddy, I believe this is the most effective safe natural flea remedy.
from Atown, KS on 12/2/2009
Worked well for my dog who had a really bad flea infestation. My dog was rid of the fleas shortly after applying & has not gotten them since being treated with this product.
from manteca, ca on 11/25/2009
We have never seen a flea on our adopted cat or her 4 kittens, who are now 8 months old..we are preventing flea infestation...the organic makeup of this product and safety for pet and care-giver were the reasons I chose this product...It has been 2 weeks as of 11/25/09
from Boynton Beach, Fl on 10/26/2009
Very easy to use,I would suggest take bedding outdoors and apply product to reduce amount of dust indoors. Pleasant smell, non irritating. Very effective for mild flea infestation. After 2 treatments to my dog and bedding I have not noticed any more fleas.

After unintentionally poisoning my cat with commercial chemical-based flea killers, I ordered this product and got immediate and lasting results. It was safe to use on my hardwood floors and furniture as well as my cat and my dog. It worked perfectly. No complaints. I would definitely recommend this product and would definitely purchase it again.

We lightly sprinkle the powder on the pet bedding and it's very effective. Once a week when the bedding is cleaned is very efficent.

from Cary, NC on 10/1/2009
I am highly resistant to using chemicals in my home and on my pets, however we seem to have super fleas (Frontline does not work) in NC and I was getting desperate before I found this procuct! It is a great carpet/pet bed treatment. The only downside is that it is quite messy to put down and needs to be applied on a regular basis. I am going to try mixing it with water and spraying it down.... advise from another reviewer.

I used this on my cocker spaniel but you definately don't need very much because it is dusty but he doesn't mind it and I do him outside so I get enough ventilation.

I use this powder in my hen house to prevent worms and feather mites. So far, I have not had any parasite problems in my flock. Throw the hens out and let the dust settle before letting them back in, to protect their lungs. I also sprinkle it in the dirt in their favorite dust bath spots, and occasionally mix some in their food (against worms). I am chemically sensitive but the herbal ingredients smell pleasant (a boon in the coop!) and don't bother me. I also use it on my dogs, primarily in their bedding.

from Georgia Mtns. on 8/18/2009
I wanted this product to be effective so much because I do not like to poison my pets just to get rid of fleas but I used it numerous times on my two small (10 lbs.) dogs and two cats. I saw no difference in the flea population. I loved the idea that it was non-toxic, chemical-free and odorless...just wished it had worked.

from Greenville, SC on 8/12/2009
Have been using this product for about a month and it seems to be effective, providing you use it continuously. It is easy to use, but you have to be careful and avoid heavy use. I like the fact that it is odorless.
from Upland, CA on 8/7/2009
I would recommend this product. I thought it got rid of the fleas inside and outside. A bit messy but worth it.
from Oakland, CA on 7/30/2009
This is my favorite non-toxic flea treatment.
from Petaluma, Ca on 7/30/2009
I followed the direction and it's working. I have used it for about 3 weeks now and I am noticing a difference in the amount of fleas I find on my dog. My dog is very allergic and our inside/outside cat seems to always bring home some hitchhikers. I used it all over the house and also put it directly onto both the cat and dog and it seem to really cut down on the fleas. I also use a flea comb on my dog daily and only will find 1 or 2 which is much better than when I started. I also used Beneficial Nematodes in the yard. You have to combat all areas to eliminate fleas. I am so much happier now and so are my pets.

To avoid the dust, the All in One can be applied in liquid form by diluting 2-3 tablespoons in 1 gallon of water.
Apply one gallon of this mixture per 10 square feet, indoors or out, and you'll be good to go.
Fleas and other insects cannot become immune to this product!

from Reno, NV on 7/9/2009
I put the flea powder in our carpets and area rugs, as well as in the dog's bedding. She is not irritated by it, and I don't have to worry about it compromising her (already-compromised) immune system. It dehydrates the flea larvae and eggs, and is the first product I have found that does that.

Product didnt solve our flea problem. My wife still has a new flea bite every morning..I'm disappointed with the product..
from North Hollywood, CA on 7/9/2009
This was very easy to use and really did the trick. Way better than using poison on my kitty.

Diatomaceous powder is one of those bug killers that's been around for ages, and is pretty much here to stay. I have a big bag that I got cheaply at the hardware store, but I use this stuff when it's going to be in close contact with the pets. WARNING: Buy dust masks! The negative reviews on here seem to be mostly complaints about the dustiness. Do yourself a favor and get masks ahead of time. Also, if you put it directly on your pets, do it outside. This prevents any eye irritation.
When I moved into my current apartment, I discovered that the previous tenant had left behind an ant problem and a flea problem. The fleas quickly infested my pets. I used a multi-dimensional approach to get rid of them. This product on the carpets (you have to sweep it in and then leave it for three days), along with neem oil baths and sprays on the animals, and cheaper diatomaceous earth all around the foundation of the house solved both problems.
Advice: Buy dust masks. Follow directions. Use unsparingly. Use as a supplement to other methods, not alone.

from san antonio, texas on 6/30/2009
We put some directly on the dog, in the yard (especially where he sleeps), and on the carpet. I used one bottle, and didn't need to use the second one I purchased. Worked great along with a flea collar and a flea remedy (liquid on the neck type) both from the grocery store. It gave me peace of mind to know that it was not toxic.

from Crestview, Florida on 6/19/2009
After using this product on four cats, and one 65 pound dog (all indoor pets), off and on for about three weeks, we noticed there were still a lot of fleas. But upon further examination, I realized they were newly hatched. No adults have been seen.
We caught some of these fleas and using my sons Eye-Clops (a microscope you can see images up to 400x normal size via your t.v. screen)we put them, alive, in a petri dish with some of the Flea Remedy. We watched as they scooted around, and noticed the treatment was thickly coating them. The razor pieces were being embedded in them every time they moved. By morning, they were dead!Faster then Frontline any time!
So, use it daily! At least till you notice you're not getting bit anymore. Then, once a week. Takes time to kill the little buggers! This is what I did and it's working, and I had a bad infestation. It works "mechanically" so fleas and other bugs can't adjust to it! No more poisons! I have two young boys and this knowledge, is quite a relief. Sprinkle, and rub deeply into your carpets and upholstery. It really vacuums up easily. And definitely, wear a dust mask, or you'll end up coughing for a while. It's just dirt! So it's not fatal (Google it). Excellent stuff! I highly recommend it! Thank you, Only Natural Pet!

from Knoxville, TN on 6/19/2009
I love to use this in the lobby and around the building. I live in an apartment building right now - if one of the tenants brings in a flea on his dog, I end up with 5 cats with fleas. This stuff stopped it. Nothing else I tried did that. I spread a 3-5 foot barrier around the outside of the building (not harmful to earth worms) and all the bugs stopped coming indoors, including earwigs. The fleas stopped finding ways upstairs. The lobby looked a little dusty, but there were NO bugs!

from Glyndon, MN on 5/27/2009
You have to be very careful in applying it. Previously when reading all the reviews, I was very careful to administer. Very difficult to apply dusty stuff on anxious dogs that don't stand still. I was concerned about them inhaling all the dust and getting in their eyes. I do put this around their bedding instead of directly on them, which is more effective and appropriate for my situation.

We got a really bad flea infestion last summer and I waas glad I found this powder. We have 4 small dogs, and 12 cats. We had heard diatomaceous earth killed fleas really well but it was not good for people or animals so we hesitated at first. However, after researching more about it, we decided to give it a shot in one room and it cleared up the fleas in few weeks. SO now we use it regularly all year round. We still use monthly flea medicine on all the animals but now we only apply the medicine every 6-8 weeks to give them a break and we use this power to supplement in between doses. We use it on our carpets and floors but it's hard to keep it laying around for 3 days before we vacuum it so we apply it more often. I think if we left the house for a week and saturated it with the powder as well as the boric acid powder, we would really kill off the fleas and larve. You have to realize that natural remedies take longer to work plus you have to constantly battle the fleas all summer long. Our vet tells us that the fleas are getting worse every year as they are building up immunity to the flea medicines (hey, just like us humans), so we do flea prevention year round and start the medicine in late summer. We recommend you use a dust mask and gloves, and wash up afterwards as the dust lingers in the air for awhile. Our animals like the scent of the powder. During flea season, I bathe them with the flea shampoo and then repowder them weekly. THey love it as they think they are getting a spa treatment every week! You really have to accept you are going to have to battle the fleas and make it part of your daily life. I' rather reapply this non-toxic stuff more regular than have to tent and use pesticides. It just takes patience and diligence.

from Lafayette, La. on 3/23/2009
This product is so great for the fleas! I got rid of an infestation by using it everyday on my 2 dogs. I love that there is not a chemical smell or harmful to the pet. Great stuff and reasonably priced!

I have carpet..two cats, a rabbit and a dog, all indoor/outdoor. I used chemicals but desired EFFECTIVE all natural products. When I got my rabbit, it was even more urgent that I find such a product and this is it. Use of this product on my pets and in my home proved safe and very effective...even with the mites on my rabbit! When I ran out, I used a chemical in the interim and ended up taking my rabbit to the vet for a mite infestation(costly). As well, my dog and I were scratching all night and my cats were scratching all day. Use of this product as directed keeps the pests AWAY and me and my pets happy and safe. Yes, a dust mask is recommended, but the dust is a very small inconvenience compared to the seriousness of infestation and possible infection.
from massachusetts on 2/2/2009
tried to use this to get rid of fleas. did nothing. did create large quantities of white dust that irritated my lungs and dried out my skin and eyes. spent awhile vaccuuming it up. it may kill fleas, but it's very difficult to apply and work with.

from Orlando, FL on 1/30/2009
This is a really great natural alternative to the harsh chemical laiden products on the market. I ordered the product because I noticed I had a few fleas in my apartment. The reason I had the fleas is because I rescued a young mother cat with four kittens and kept them in my home until I could find a good home for the 5 of them. Well, knowing that it is not good to put anything on young kittens or a nursing mother I held off on using any product, even the natural ones. I didn't worry because I thought they didn't have fleas because I didn't see them or the evidence of them on the cats. Well, after a couple months, I found the cats a good home. A few weeks later you guessed it the fleas started getting on me and my husband, I'm guessing the flea eggs hatched at this point. We have birds so I knew I couldn't use any thing but a natural product. Don't worry I kept the cats in a seperate part of the house. I used the product on the carpet and now we don't have a flea problem. Please note that I still moved my birds from the areas I treated until the dust settled, just to be safe. Thank you very much for making a wonderful product that is safe for all animals.

Diamatomaceous Earth is very fine and should not be inhaled. This product is not too "dusty".

from Denver Colorado on 11/18/2008
I really wanted this product to work; it's natural, nontoxic, easy to apply, but...the fleas kept coming back. I treated the dog, the carpet, the bedding, everwhere she went. Saw a few dead fleas, but no luck in getting rid of them for good. It is also very drying to the skin, both mine and the dog's. I had to resort to Frontline Plus (toxic, but very effective) and pyrethrim shampoo for the dog and the carpets and bedding. This is a natural pesticide, and has immediate effects. I saw dead fleas during the shampooing of the dog, and hope they are gone for good.
from Windham, Maine on 11/11/2008
I was really hoping this would work, but unfortunately, it did not. I treated my cat with more than enough, and not only did it not kill any fleas, it really irritated my hands and left me coughing. I hope this works for other people because it really is a good idea and I am all about natural products.

from San Diego, CA on 10/23/2008
I liked the ingredients, but it didn't seem to work. Maybe I should have given more time, but meantime I didn't like to see my cat suffer from itching. I had to use Advantage.
But thank you for your effort to try to make harmless, gentle products.

Worked perfectly and fast for a new infestation of fleas on my dog. I did not need to worry at all about adverse reactions. I also use it in my chickens nest boxes for safe and effective infestations of lice and mites. One medium application lasts for a year or two in their boxes.

from snellville, GA on 10/10/2008
I use this on my dogs and it does kill fleas. In the days after I dusted them there were little flea bodies all over. The ones that I combed off the dogs were dead or dying. It smells good and the dogs enjoyed having it worked into their fur. I didn't have a problem with the dust, I guess because I used a plastic spoon to apply it instead of shaking the jar up. The only thing I don't like about it is that it makes their coats feel a little weird. I feel like I need to wash my hands every time I touch them. Seems like it would last awhile if you don't bathe them. I could still feel it on them after about 4 days before I gave them a bath.

from boston, ma on 10/9/2008
I want this stuff to work so much.... so I will continue to buy it. I love that it is a safe mechanical way of ridding bugs... but I really have not seen much evidence that it actually works.
BUT the chemical approach has not worked very well either. I covered my apartment and 2 indoor cats and 1 big indoor/outdoor dog with 3 bottles of this stuff over 2 months now. That is far more than is recommended, and probably did not need that much. The problem was that the fleas kept coming. So I would keep reapplying to the pets, and a second whole apartment application. It is very dusty... which I don't mind as you can see where it may be working.
Anyway, it just didn't work to rid our fleas. I had to biospot, frontline, and revolution on my animals. And I Sprayed my apartment with a vet prescribed house spray. Those chemicals reduced fleas, but NOTHING ridded my place or animals completely of fleas. After the vet put revolution on my ailing cat, and he still had fleas... so, thinking that this would be a healthy supplement, I dusted him with this powder daily... and combed out a dozen fleas twice a day for the month... I then got frontline, and that did not work immediately either. But this time I have not dusted him with this powder, as it must dry out his skin, and now the frontline seems to be working better.
So to make a long story short.... I will continue to believe that this helps some... and may be used as a supplement to the chemicals ... but I need to be careful that I dont dry out the pets' skin's in the process.

from Miami, FL on 10/3/2008
My 4 cats and dog had fleas despite regular use of Frontline and Advantage, very pricy. I read about this and said for [$] I'll give it a try. It takes about 1/2 day before you see the itching stop, guess fleas have to walk over it. My pets actually love having it put on them, because they think they're getting a massage or special attention. It's great, gave some to my neighbor she loves it too. It DOES work, and my observation is that if they itch again, it's time to put more on. Am so dependent on this, that I went on vacation w/the dog and forgot it, and had one shipped to me in ME. I would much rather put this on them than a pesticide. I see NO side effects and makes then smell nice actually.
from Playa del Rey, CA on 10/1/2008
This product kills fleas on contact. It's also useful for other pests (silverfish, termites, any bugs)if used carefully so as not to breathe in. It's a little difficult to apply to cats but very effective.

from Vernonia, OR on 9/11/2008
It was easy to apply to my finicky cat who doesn't like her fur rubbed backwards. The other two just like the additional deep finger rub to get the product down to the skin. I hated the thought of putting chemical flea preventitive on my babies again, thank you for an all natural alternative.
I've used this on my sensitive-skin cat with great success.
This summer, we found how truly safe this is when the Swallows nesting on our porch lost 2/3 of the 2nd brood to bird mites. The surviving (but near death) baby, and nest, were covered w/ mites - we doused her with this powder, rubbing it into her skin and feathers. Then did the same to the nest. The baby swallow immediately recovered. We had to deal with the mites that had begun to spread into the house. Diatomaceous Earth was effective inside the house also. We sprinkled it on carpets, window sills, pets and us and vacuumed up later. We have had no problems since.

from Youngstown, Ohio on 9/8/2008
I used this product several times, on their bedding, around the house, on my 2 dogs and 2 inside cats....it seems to work for a couple of days...then lo and behold, my dogs are poluted with 8 or 10 big fleas once again....so they get a bath, combed and re-powdered. I've also used the Frontline drops on the back....they only have relief for a couple of days.....It does have a smell that we don't enjoy so I think that for the powdery mess its not worth it...I'm gonna bomb my house and start all over
from Washington State on 8/13/2008
This product is effective even in the most severe cases, but it is important to note that it requires time. This product is natural and caused no irritation. My cat had no issues with the product and it helped with his remaining fleas effectively.
from Canyon Lake, CA on 8/13/2008
I was quite pleased with how well it worked... but the one BIG con is that it generates ALOT of dust in the air and all over your furniture when used to treat whole house carpeting.

from dana point, california on 8/8/2008
Our dog is allergic to flea bites.
We use this powder on the carpet where he sleeps and little on the blanket. The powder gets into his fur. It is successful in killing fleas. We have pulled off dead fleas in the morning. Our carpet is light so the powder blends in. Our vacuum does not get it all up. We are also planning on removing the carpet to put in wood floors eventually so our mind set is a bit differant than if this carpet was going to stay.
That being said, I appreciate the powder as we have small children that I try to minimize their chemical exposure. We did not have a flea outbreak in our house, just on our dog.
I feel this powder has kept the fleas to a minimum.
from Texas on 8/6/2008
When nothing out there was getting rid of the fleas I started dusting all of my cats and dog with this and it works. The flea population is almost completely gone in a few weeks. It does have to be reapplied every few days but well work the cost. Very impressed with the results on all 15 of the cats.
from OK on 7/21/2008
I bought this product for my son's dog who was covered in fleas. It took a few days, but she is virtually flea free. I also put this in my vaccum before I use it, works great in the container. The only con is when the dog shakes right after using, the dust flys, but worth it if the fleas stay away! Would recommend this to every pet owner.
from Roanoke, VA on 7/18/2008
The first time I put this on my littles dogs they started scratching like crazy about 30 minutes later. They have skin problems due to allergies, but at this time they were clear. It dried their skin really bad as it did my hands when I put it on them. My hands felt dried even after I washed them. It took two baths before they finally quit scrathing. This would work to treat infested areas. but I will not use it on my little dogs again.

from Yucca Valley, CA on 7/17/2008
After several very expensive trips to the vet to treat my cat for a skin mite condition... there was no improvement for my cat. We did the toxic injections...then shaved her fur and to do the toxic lime/sulphur dip. Poor kitty was having reactions to all of these. I treated my apartment with the standard chemical sprays and ended up with a severe reaction myself and an increase of these mites.
A friend gave me a catalog of your holistic products. I almost knew these would work before I ordered the flea powder and cat collar. It made great sense that it would rid us of these pests mechanically... not chemically.
I powder my cat daily and the mites are decreasing... plus the powder provided relief from the biting mites. I've used the powder on my own bites from the mites and got instant relief.
I have treated my whole apartment with the powder. Since then I've only gotten bites twice in over three weeks. This stuff is Great! and what a relief... and it's non-toxic. I see great improvement... Thank You.
As suggested on the label... I wore a dust mask while applying the powder to my home. I'm glad I did as you really do need to wear a mask to prevent to fine...fine particles of powder from upsetting your breathing. Thanks Again
from Mobile, AL on 7/8/2008
We have a terrible time with fleas down south in the summer. I have three dogs, two with sensitive skin. They won't come near me when I have a spray bottle in my hand. The powder goes on quickly, I use a wire dog brush because it works in the powder and the boys think they're getting groomed, which they like. We have VERY few fleas now, just be sure to keep up with the powder during heavy flea season. I powder them every 4 to 5 days. You don't have to use a lot of it either.
from Morven,GA on 7/4/2008
It seems to work, but I have to reapply every other day. Since I have 2 large Rottweilers, it is not cost-effective for me. I really like the fact that it is non-toxic.

from San Antonio, TX on 7/4/2008
This product is best used in conjuction with the Sentry squeeze on flea treatment. It will not be as effective on its own. As with all natural products from cleaning to health remedies, we cannot expect this natural product to work over night. Natural products take longer, but if keeping chemicals away from your family members(including the four-legged ones) and out of your house is important to you, give it a try.
I apply it outside to keep the dust down and I wear gloves to keep it off my hands (just personal preference). The dog doesn't seem to mind it and the chewing and biting has all but been eliminated. It is also best to comb or brush this in to get it down deep and on the skin.

from Sunrise, FL on 6/6/2008
Perhaps I used too much of the product for the square footage, but the dust was too much for me. I used it when I first notice my dog had flees. We did not end up with flees in the house, so I guess it works. I would recommend wearing a mask to apply and spending a whole day out of the house (pets too) while dust settles.
I have had this product for about a month and i havent seen any change. I still have fleas and they are worse now than ever. I started to use this when I seen one on my dog and now there is a dz. So save your money and get something else.

It doesn't bother people or the dog in the least way. The label reads completely herbs; it doesn't hurt the furniture or clothing either; washes right out. I hope the fleas are gone! don't really see any.

I think this works great! I love it for my cat. I also have 2 pomeranians and one of them had allergys that required daily treatment bathing so powder was better because its so easy to apply. I dont care for the way the fur feels at first but it really does get rid of fleas!

I can't say that this product won't work for your pets, even though it didn't work on ours, so give it a try. I do feel that this is a safe product to use for all pets and reasonably priced - besides fleas are almost as hard to kill as cockroaches.

from San Francisco, CA on 10/24/2007
The good news is I put this stuff everywhere and it has not caused any irritation to me or my pets. The bad news is my cats are still scratching away (should preface that my cats are indoor/outdoor so this is going to be a tough problem to eradicate). I actually sprinkle this stuff in between my mattress and sheets and find when I do so I suffer less flea bites on my skin, especially my ankles. I also sprinkled it under the sofa cushions, on the pet beds, and on area rugs. I am normally someone who is highly allergic especially considering I'm sleeping on it but I've been fine. The bad news it is hard to get this on the cats themselves and the few times I have they don't seem to be scratching any less. All in all, it's okay but I definitely still see "flea dirt" on my cats and feel the bites when I pet them. I think I'll try a spray and flea collars next.

I thought it would work and was so happy it did. I work for the mine that produces diatomaceous earth in California so I had to try it. I am glad it is a natural product and can be used on the animal and the carpet.

The All-in-one flea remedy did not work on my Havanese. I thought I wasn't getting it to her skin so had her clipped short. I put it on her and the fleas were still there several days later with daily use. I put so much on her that when she ran she left a trail of dust. The fleas thrived.

from Santa Cruz, Ca on 10/4/2007
I was hoping the natural route would work, and it did. This stuff got the fleas out of my carpet for sure. But I used it over a week ago and I'm still suffering from intense sinus congestion, and a very bad cough. I could not sleep while it was on my carpets, because it dried out my nose and mouth so much that I could barely breathe. It's nice that it has no chemicals, but the side effects from this powder are not pleasant. I would not recommend using this product in anyway. It is incredibly irritating, and a complete pain to clean up. It's very dusty, and settles on and sticks to EVERYTHING! You'll have to wash all your bedding, vacuum all your upholstery, and dust a few times, and you'll still feel it everywhere. Don't use it!!!

I like this flea treatment because it's something that I can put on my cats and I know they're not being poisoned. This works for us because they do not like to be bathed. Also, you can use it on carpet, hardwood floors, furniture, etc.

This product along with diamecious earth in food quality seem to work but are messy and require vacuuming daily. I also use Orange Guard spray for surfaces, cracks etc and it kills on contact and is safe for pets.
from atlanta, ga on 9/13/2007
I had mixed results with this, but some of that was my fault. I got it because one of my cats had a flea allergy and had scabs all over her head and neck. I did not want to use the normal toxic treatments, such as advantage. It was effective in helping rid her of most of the scabs. However, the flea population is alive, well and kicking in my house of 8 cats. Unfortunately, I was not able to apply it to all my cats (3 are feral, no way were they going to sit still!) which undoubtedly limited its effectiveness. Now, I am going to end up using advantage anyway.

All-in-one flea remedy is a very good product. I honestly don't know how effective it is on my cats because they are so skitish and don't let me apply it correctly. It seemed to do well for what little I was able to apply. I instead used it to treat the carpets in my whole house and by following the instructions I am noticing a big improvement.
from Barrington,RI on 8/31/2007
This powder was billed as an "all in one" solution. I disagree with that. It helped with the problem but didn't cure it even after 1 month. We finally got a handle on the situation for good by using another solution in combonation with this.
from Candler NC on 8/28/2007
I tried it, didn't like it. Too dusty, even when using small amount and a mask. I had breathing trouble for 2 days after using it, as did my elderly cat I did mix with water to spray my yard and that seemed to help with the fleas in the yard.
from virginia on 8/24/2007
our cat didn't really enjoy having the stuff rubbed on her. she was already irritated by all the flea bites i guess. we treated her each day for ~3 days and did not seem to see an effect. maybe it takes longer???
also, i found 2 fleas on the floor and dropped the powder directly on them. after several minutes, the fleas were still alive. i guess that's not a surprise though because it's not a poison. the powder contains diatomatious earth which has crevices and sharp edges that will ~eventually kill the fleas.
instead, we bought a cheap flea collar for the cat and treated the carpet with borax then vacuumed. be sure not to let the cat near the borax.

Hey... Just wanted to let you know I ordered your All Natural Flea Powder & one application worked on my 2 cats and a dog!!! Tried Advantage on both previously and besides being expensive, it didn't even work. I will definitely tell others about this product!!! I feel safe using this on my animals when need be. Just wanted you to know that you have a happy customer and 3 happy animals!!! P.S. It was so affordable too!!
from durham, north carolina on 8/13/2007
I have found "DE" to be effective -- it has helped us combat the serious flea outbreak this summer (along with other precautions: vaccuum, launder pet beds, flea comb dogs every day, etc.). It has worked well on both dogs - the huskey and the beagle. the DE stays on the huskey's fur (almost gets locked in) better than the beagle, but it is easier to hunt fleas down on the beagle than the huskey. Just beware of your pets inhaling this stuff -- I put it on the beagle's pet bed and her nose was all caked up with the DE the next day. Still, with a bit of care, this stuff has really worked for us. Reapplication also seems key & vigilance with other flea precautions (ie, we don't let them into the backyard now where there is a high flea concentration -- will try spraying it with nematodes next!).
from Crossville, TN on 8/9/2007
We "inherited" a terrible flea problem with a newly purchased house so eventually had to have it, successfully, professionally treated but when a new stray cat, with fleas, was introduced in the household the All-In-One Flea Remedy took care of his fleas and any that wandered onto any one of the three other cats and we are back to being "flea-free". We love that it is safe and the cats don't get sick when they clean themselves.
from missouri on 8/7/2007
First,I would like to tell you why I chose a natural product: I own 4 cats and used an over the counter liquid flea remedy that you apply across their back, within hours all of my cats started to have seizures and convulsions. This medication attacked their nervous system and I had to rush them to the vet to save their lives. The vet informed us that this medication IS TOXIC to animals. It contained the same ingredients used in dipping cattle. Gratefully, because of the vet all of my animals were saved, one of my cats were so bad that he did not expect him to live through the night.This is when I decided NOT to use chemicals on any of my animals again. I turned to "Only Natural Pet",and purchased a flea comb which is a huge success. I also purchased their "All-in-One" flea product which has worked also with success. This product is dusty when broomed into the carpets, however, the dust does not take long to settle. It also takes about a week to kill the fleas in your carpet, however, is well worth the short wait compared to exposing yourself, and family to a poison from a quicker product. I recommend this to anyone who cares about their health and the health of their animals.
from Raleigh, NC on 8/1/2007
I had high hopes for this, and wanted to believe that a natural product would do the trick. Unfortunately it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference, and the flea problem is not only still there, but worse than ever! I used it on the cat daily for about a week, and then every couple days for another week, spread it all over the carpets too. But the fleas are, as I said, worse than ever, and I have to say the product was completely ineffective. I don't doubt the others' positive reports here, but in this case it simply didn't work at all. Possibly I have a worse than usual flea situation. After my hopes for Only Natural Pet All In One flea remedy faded, I broke down and bought Hartz flea spray, and that didn't work either! I also tried Sentry Natural Defense, and again it didn't make any difference. I've ordered Frontline. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to shell out to have the place professionally fumigated or something. How the fleas can live through all of what I've already done, though, is beyond me. They actually seem to thrive on it.... As for Only Natural Pet Flea Remedy, I would say MAYBE it'll work if your problem is mild. Going on my own experience, if it's a severe infestation it's probably not going to work.... Which I am sorry to say, as I really wanted it to be otherwise.

A lady saw me looking at flea products in the pet department [...] and volunteered info about your products. I bought the remedy and am ecstatic about the results. This product is a godsend and I’m telling everyone on my email list!
from Los Angeles, California on 7/13/2007
I ordered this product as an alternative to Frontline. If you follow the directions right it does seem to work pretty much right away.
I brought in my outdoor cat who has a bad case under her chin. I applied it a few times across the spine going up and down to make sure she was covered and then the chin, stomach and legs.
I dusted her off a bit and let her back outside. I observed her last night and it didn't take long before I concluded the product was as effective as I've seen in the reviews. I kept an eye on her to make sure and I strongly believe the powder has worked as advertised.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product and Believe it to be safe as long as it is applied as instructed.

from Eugene, OR on 6/26/2007
I was surprised to see how quick this product works. The fleas literally were trying to jump out of it right after application. In three days our situation had improved immensely. The only complaint...it can really dry out and irritate your sinuses and make you feel kinda under the weather if you breath too much while applying. So wear a mask and keep the windows open to air out the house until all the dust has settled.
from Midland, Texas on 6/25/2007
It appeared to work generally well because we did not get any fleas in our bed, and we saw a decline in the adult flea population; however, I would suggest using it in tandem with non-holistic treatments such as Program or Frontline. The powder is somewhat messy.
from Houston, TX on 6/2/2007
Difficult to use if you have allergies and asthma. I'm not entirely sure how effective this product is against fleas, but it does seem to kill small insects that come in contact with it. The biggest issue I have had with this product is the application and for individuals with allergies or asthma, this product may cause irritation (especially when trying to vacuum the product up). The application is difficult to remove, and the dust from the diatomaceous earth irritates my lungs to a degree where I can almost not breath. This product is not good for dark carpeting and the white powder can be hard to remove in tight corners/spaces. Messy and can cause problems for people with allergies (allergy and asthma attacks). If you have either of the above, absolutely wear a mask (again, high-maintenance removal).
from sharon, ma on 5/25/2007

I purchased this product looking for something better than Advantage and it made my Cat sick from Bathing while the Powder was on his coat.
Had to contact the Vet.
from Mount Pleasant, SC on 3/27/2007
Works great as a flea/tick eradicator, as well as preventative. Can use on pet, as well around house. Can't overdose! Don't expect immediate results...but very effective!!
from Hamilton NY on 2/8/2007
Fantastic ! I am very pleased with this product. Easly to apply. Is non toxic,pleasant smelling,works within one week of use. My cat is back to her usual frisky self ! Thank You !
from Loxahatchee, Florida on 1/25/2007
perfect...so glad someone came up with something 100% non-toxic....the rest of them should be ashamed of their products if even 5% is toxic even if in small doses, dah!?... toxic is toxic!!!
Many Mother Earth shine upon your business with great success and the heavens bless you enormously for making a safe product!
from Charleston, SC on 1/18/2007
I have heard that Diatomaceous Earth is the best thing to use for insects, as it is not poisonous to crawling babies, or pets. I have used that reccomendation a million times, trusting by word of mouth, when I worked at several Veterinary clinics, and hospitals, as I'm always trying to reccomend earth friendly, holistic, and safe products.
Ubnfortunately, when I ordered it, and used it here in Charleston, SC, where fleas are hell bent, it did not work one bit.
I have never had to use flea control ever on my pets, due to the climate I lived in (mountainous), and am sad that it didn't work. My 19 year old cat has renal failure, and am heart broken when I have to use something that will only stress her system out, and possibly kill her! I am hopeful that there will some day be an altrnative that does work.
from Vero Beach, Fl on 1/7/2007
This is a awesome product, you can use it anywhere in your home and on your dogs and not worry about chemicals and toxins. I wish I had known about this years ago [...].

I tried this product on my Golden who recently got his first case of fleas in 8 years. I was excited to test it because I only use natural/organic products, not only for his food, but supplements and shampoos etc. This flea powder did nothing. I even sprinkled it directly onto a moving flea, several of them actually, with no results. We tested it for 3 or 4 days and finally had to take him to the vet. Very disappointed, DO NOT waste your money.

I was concerned for my cats, as they had started to spend time outdoors. I wanted protection from fleas and ticks, but the potential dangers of products like Advantage concerned me after reading the product side effect warnings. I would not use something like that on me, so why would I use it on my pets that are part of the family! This All-In-One product is the answer to my prayers! It works great, easy to apply, odorless so they don't try to get it off them selves, and when they wash themselves it does not make them sick as it is a food quality product! I re-apply as needed, and I will always use this product!

Our beloved 15 year old golden retriever passed on and we were left with terrible fleas. We have 3 small children and were looking for something natural that would work. It has only been one week since the powder was put down on our floors and carpets and I cannot believe the difference in the amount of fleas we are seeing. I know we had them bad when I picked a few out of my baby's hair - I know that's awful, but I want people to know even if you have them bad this will work. I would say after only one week they are 95% better already!!! Thank you.

I found a cat and brought him home - total of 4 cats with him. I found he was covered with fleas - now everyone was. I used this on the cats, the carpets, the mattresses, the bottom of closets (everything else I washed or steamed). I combed the cats for a week with a lice comb and removed all the flea debris. Over a year later still no fleas.

We applied this all around the areas of the house that our dog frequents and all over the dog herself, and it seems to have done the trick. Two months later and we haven't seen a flea in weeks...
