What to know before buying

The listing says to keep animals in a separate room during application, leave the room vacant until the product has dried for 1 hour, then air it. Never spray directly on animals. The listing also warns that permethrin is toxic to cats above certain concentrations and says to follow its directions when using the product in a home with cats.
Customer feedback reports mixed results for flea removal and spray performance, so outcomes should not be assumed from the listing claims.

Buyers who can keep cats and dogs away during application and until the treated room is dry and aired.

Customer feedback highlights ease of use and a pleasant scent, but reports are mixed on flea removal, spray performance and value. Some say fleas were eradicated while others say the spray did not kill them. The feedback also raises concerns about safety for cats and reports allergic reactions. These are customer reports, not product testing. They matter particularly because the listing requires pets to be kept away until the treated room is dry and aired.

Positive themes

Customers describe the spray as easy to use and appreciate its scent.

Negative themes

Customer feedback raises concerns about cat safety and reports allergic reactions in cats. The listing itself instructs users to keep animals away during application and while the treated area dries.

Mixed feedback

Reports vary on whether it removes fleas and on the spray's performance.
Value for money is also viewed differently by customers.
