What is the difference between carpet and upholstery sprays, spot and crevice sprays, and home powders?
Carpet and upholstery sprays are made to treat soft surfaces like rugs, pet beds, and furniture fabrics, so they cover the places fleas often settle indoors. Spot and crevice sprays target baseboards, cracks, and tight gaps where pests hide, allowing precise application without soaking entire rooms. Powders are made for broad floor coverage and are typically worked into carpets according to the label, offering longer contact with fibers than a quick spray.
If I still see fleas after using a home treatment, what should I do?
Start by checking you are using the product exactly as directed and reapplying on the schedule listed since consistent use drives results over time. Focus treatment on the areas your dog uses most, and match the type of treatment to each surface, for example a fabric-safe spray for bedding and a crevice spray for baseboards. If flea activity continues or symptoms persist, it is time to check in with your veterinarian for guidance.
