Works great

I have been ordering this for years and it works great .
Pros
- Kills all the bugs and ants that is why I get it every year
Cons
- None

Easy to use
June 10, 2020
Was easy to use and one can sprayed most of the apartment. I was able to do one room with pet in the other then next day reversed it. Was not a bad smell or left over wetness or oiliness. I will most likely have to reorder and do again.
Pros
- No bad smell, Did not take long to dry, was usable on sofa and carpet, did not run out of pressure while spraying
Cons
- needs a different kind of handle, more ergonomic

How can you sell it for $18.00, where the vet and other places sell it for $30.00 + dollars. I really love the the product, but very skeptical about the the price
Merchant Response:Dianna, we have direct relationships with manufactures, It's sad that Veteriainry offices have to go through 2 layers of distribution plus their markup. We give you an honest price and take a small margin. Enjoy!

After spraying on carpet, do you need to shampoo carpet when the spray dries. Do you have to scrub couch / chairs/furniture after spraying knock out on them? Is the furniture safe to use again without being cleaned after treatment?
Thanks

"Knock Out" gets rid of fleas and keeps them away. We often get cats and kittens at the rescue that have to be treated for fleas immediately. Then we spray the treatment area for any fleas that get away. We would never be without it.

Knock Out is the Best!
October 8, 2015
This is the best stuff on the market! We were infested with fleas for the first time ever and I tried everything for 3 weeks straight,This is the only thing that truly got rid of the fleas and keeps them away! Well worth the money spent, I could have saved a bundle on flea products if I had started here instead!
By Nanny
Great stuff!
September 15, 2015
This product works great in the house, shed, etc. It's a spot treatment that kills fleas and as I found and use it for, those pesky little ants. I find it's quite safe too. I've used it for years and will continue to do so.

Couldn't Live Without It!
June 10, 2015
On a whim I purchased several of these and it must have been a premonition because my dog got fleas!!!! And the worst part, they were biting me too! I did use a prescription flea killer, that didn't kill the fleas and in the mean time I was getting bitten by them! I checked my dog and she had them and I scratched myself and I got one on my nail and I found one jumping on me as well! I tore the bed apart and sprayed, sprayed, sprayed and sprayed, sprayed, sprayed the carpet and her bedding and everywhere she had gone, for... two weeks! They are finally gone, but I was traumatized! No more thanks to this product.

Fantastic!

This stuff is fantastic! I used it in the bedroom where the cats spend most of their time. Within a couple days the change was drastic. I will purchase this again!

Best carpet flea control
January 16, 2015
My vet recommended Knockout to kill the flea in my home. It worked quickly. I now buy it from Entirely Pets as it is more cost effective.

Spray really works!
September 8, 2014
This is the best way to get rid of ticks. A few years ago, one of my dogs got ticks at the groomers, of all places. I did not realize how bad it was until they were everywhere. I tried everything to get rid of them but they kept reappearing. My vet recommended that I use Knockout spray and put Preventic collars on my dogs and end of ticks! I recommend this to everyone.

This spray is strong, smells, but kills the fleas.

not worth it
January 5, 2014
best to call in a professional since these products just are not strong enough when you have an infested house and you will waste more money. professional treatments are guaranteed and will work with you til the issue is resolved. I purchased this from my vet and online and went through two cans and it just did not work.

Not enough product
October 5, 2013
I believe I have a fairly small house, but this product did not even cover my area rugs. Further more, it did not work. I had to flea bomb my home.

Virbac did the job
July 31, 2013
Our pet sitter applied Virbac to all our carpeted areas while we were away in June. It's now August and we haven't seen any more fleas in the house. I will certainly reach for Virbac if the fleas ever reappear.

We needed a product you could use indoors to help rid fleas and this worked for us. It works on carpet and fabrics.

Why use flea bombs and have to leave the house for hours when you can use this. It works far better too. Our vet recommended this and even sells it but it is far more expensive at the vet.

Best on the market
February 1, 2013
This is the best flea product on the market. I worked for a pet store and used every product we sold and they didn't work. Bought a can of Virbac from the Vet and it worked almost instantly. Found them on this site for more than half the price and bought 4 cans and my flea issues are gone.

Great product.
December 21, 2012
Since having to have our cat put down we have been overrun with fleas. Knockout is the best product we have found to kill them. We can safely spray knockout just about anywhere (drapes, carpets, sofas, etc.). We ordered the spray and were told it had been back ordered, Even so, it didn't take too long to receive our order. We have been very satisfied with the spray.

We have a 4 month old baby -getting ready to crawl- do we need to deep clean the carpet after using this product? What precautions should we take? We don’t want fleas but we also don’t want to harm our child.

If it was me...I would deep clean. My kids were older and not down in the carpet.

How much will it cover per can?
1 Answer
This can covers approximately 6,000 cubic feet of unobstructed area. Some sources cite it as covering 2,000 square feet, which would mean that it covers 3-feet of height corresponding to this particular area.
