I’ve had issues with other brands of flea and tick spray. My dog got sick with the runs. So I only ever buy Hartz anymore. If I can’t find it, I’ll look somewhere else till I do now. I won’t buy anything else. And it works great! Just be sure to not mix up the “on the dog” vs “on the bedding spray!!”

Just spray their beds every few days and takes care of fleas.

My poor 18 year old dog is having a terrible time with fleas for the first time in his life. We have never had a problem before but, there seems to be a terrible breakout of them around here right now and I am using everything I can to try to keep them under control on him. He is on a flea repellent but, it takes the fleas a little bit to die after they get the flea poison that is on him so I use this spray to try to control them in the meantime. I just got it so, I haven’t decided how effective it is just yet.

This product isn’t as long last in effectiveness as the Adams. I chose a Hartz product thinking that it would be comparable to the more expensive Adams but not going to make that mistake again

I was worried about what it would smell like. However, the smell was not overwhelming. I sprayed it on my dog and used it as recommended. We noticed he was scratching less after each application. He has no more fleas. It took about two weeks for him to clear up. Our dog had zero side effects from the flea spray. I will definitely use this product again. It is a good quality flea spray for dogs and it is safe to use.

It’s no panacea, but it works to a degree, and it’s inexpensive. I tried the Adams brand, but the lethal stench of it was so bad that it nearly killed me and fumigated my entire house at the same time! Worse of all, the fleas were all back in a few hours. But I sprayed my dog with the Hartz where I saw most of the fleas congregating, and two days later, I can’t even find one, and this spray was less than ONE THIRD THE PRICE than the Adams. But any spray is toxic, so only use it sparingly. Flea powders are totally worthless. The only problem with this stuff is that once you kill the fleas, they’re back very quickly, but I still use it “in between times,” on the problem areas. For a more long-term solution, I use a cheaper version of Frontline on my dog that lasts up to one full month (it isn’t the BRAND, it’s the INGREDIENTS). What I finally learned is, there isn’t any ONE technique that will totally eliminate your flea problem. Unfortunately, once your house is infested, it will require a MULTI-STEP process get rid of them. Here is the flea eradication program that has worked the best for me:
First, bath your dog well, and often. It doesn’t matter what kind of shampoo you use, just so long as it’s formulated for dogs (human shampoo, even baby shampoo, is was too harsh for animals). This will safety remove most of the adult fleas, including their pupae and eggs. Once your dog is dry, apply a good flea insecticide directly on your dog. And then… and this is VERY IMPORTANT, you must kill the fleas in your entire house as well, otherwise they will eventually all come back and create a living hell for both yourself and your pet!!! For this, I use a Food Grade powder called “Diatomaceous Earth,” a completely safe, non-toxic product that you simply apply to all your rugs and carpets where fleas live, then vacuum up, 12-hours later. It’s available very inexpensively on Amazon, and I just bought some more. Don’t forget to buy the ‘Food Grade’ variety, though, it’s the safest of all (if it doesn’t state this clearly on the front label, it isn’t Food Grade). It’s a pretty dusty, but it works. It will continue to kill both fleas, ticks, even bed bugs, for quite awhile. A second option is using a simple borax solution. Just spray it on, and let it dry… and NO fine powder all over your house, which really bothered me with the DE. Also—vacuum your carpets, REGULARLY!!! This will immediately remove hundreds of live adults, including their babies and eggs.
After you treat your carpets, you have one final step to do. If you sleep with your pet, you must launder your sheets, too (I would do this when your animal is getting his flea bath). If your home is infested, you can bet the ranch that your bed is infested too, with both live fleas, baby fleas, and their feces (they look like tiny grains of black sand). Wash your sheets in hot water, just to make sure you’ve killed them all. In between washings, I even vacuum my bed. When your dog isn’t around, fleas will munch on YOU. A vacuum cleaner is your best friend… it’s a one way trip for fleas. You must remember that killing fleas is multi-step process, and you must keep it up, especially during the summer months. Fleas are tough as nails, but if you remain vigilant, you will succeed.
P.S. Avoid walking your dog through grassy areas, or where lots of other dogs congregate. This will virtually guarantee that you’ll bring back a whole host of hungry fleas back into the same area that you worked so hard to clean!! During the worst of the flea season, I just let my dog chase his ball in the parking lot, or even in the carpeted hallways of my apartment building. He gets all the exercise he needs, and stays virtually flea-free:)
