Tell uninvited to guests to “bug off” with the Hartz UltraGuard Plus Flea & Tick Pet Carpet Powder. A must-have for any carpeted home with pets, this powder kills fleas and ticks while leaving behind a fresh scent—which is great for clearing the air of telltale pet smells. After just one application it continues killing fleas for up to 30 days, and like a small miracle in a canister, it actually kills flea eggs and larvae for up to one year. It’s easy to administer by sprinkling over the carpet, and it’s perfectly safe for pets and children to be around after.
Key Benefits- Flea and tick carpet powder works to rapidly eliminate fleas and ticks.
- Kills fleas in all stages of their life cycle for up to 30 days after application.
- Continues to kill flea eggs and flea larvae for up to one year.
- Leaves behind a fresh carpet scent that is great for hiding pet smells.
- Easy application by sprinkling over carpet. Shake well before using.
Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating or smoking.
Products with the active ingredient Pyrethrin can lead to negative side effects if administered incorrectly or ingested by Cats. Please use only as directed, and keep Cats away from other pets being treated with products including large doses of Pyrethrin.
Important Information
Fleas rise to the top of your pet's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

I swear by this!
By NurseC2NP on Mar 27, 2021
I have been using this product for almost 15 years now and I have never had complaints. The first I used this was when I moved into my first apartment and it was infested with fleas. After calling a fumigation company and getting my whole apartment treated by them, the guy told me about this product and I’ve never looked back. Now when I move into anywhere, I first use this on all carpeted areas at least 24 hours before moving in and I never have a flea problem. I now have a dog and two cats that are all on flea prevention and have my own home but always have this product in my laundry room just in case. I always highly recommend this product to friends and family and they are always I have been using this product for almost 15 years now and I have never had complaints.

Worked well
By Ashley on Mar 20, 2021
I've only used a couple of times but I believe it worked. The smell was like a baking soda smell. My floors smelled good after. I vacuumed up well. Will use again.

Packaged with cat tree...ugh
By Kitty on Aug 11, 2020
so whoever packaged this clearly did not realize that the powder was in a container made of cardboard. The container was completely smashed and powder was all over box. There was a little still in container, I just scooped it out of box and spread it. Ugh.

DOES WHAT IT SAYS - KILLS WHAT IT SAYS (AND MORE IF YOU AREN'T CAREFUL)
By GRYFFY on May 26, 2020
Does what it says, easy to use, no guess work or guestions needed (THE ANSWERS ARE ALL ON THE BACK!). But for those who always need to know: MADE IN THE USA! Vacuum before use. Cover Fish and food (yours as well as theirs). Remove Birds and amphibians, etc. to another room. Cover only a 3x3 feet area (with product...DUH!!) at a time. Wait for dust to settle before allowing animals back into area. WAIT 2 HOURS! Remove and recover all items you uncovered or allowed back in the room. VACUUM AGAIN. Don't worry as long as you didn't change the bag yet, all bugs you vacuumed up the first time will be killed with the stuff you just vacuumed up. Remove vacuum bag. NO you don't need to throw Does what it says, easy to use, no guess work or guestions needed (THE ANSWERS ARE ALL ON THE BACK!). But for those who always need to know: MADE IN THE USA!

NO you don't need to throw away HEPA filters... it's their job to keep the crap (yes I refer to flea poop) contained inside them, but do empty canisters into a plastic bag and go ahead and wash out the inside to keep any future dumpings from containing residue. DISPOSE OF IN PLASTIC! That's it! WAIT 30 DAYS BEFORE REAPPLYING TO THAT AREA! (I worded it that way, "area", because I "personally" have applied it to other items in the same room with no ill effects to living things or beings. "I sigh...as long as I follow the rules...sigh, again,...some people need to think for themselves!"). Thank you for reading all the way through this review, you have now earned "yourself" all of those 5 gold stars ;}. Love (with no hugs or kisses due to Covid 19) to you. P.S. Spellcheck hasn't learned to spell Covid. It must not have practiced social distancing and has contracted the virus. Sure hope it survives (giggle). Stupid people make ME stupider. I need a drink. … more

By CarolW on Aug 19, 2020
