Are indoor botanical insecticide sprays like Premise safe and effective? Will they interact with other flea treatments? Finally, are there any specific strategies for using them effectively?

Hi there! It's great that you're considering all options for keeping your pet flea-free. Indoor botanical insecticide sprays can be a helpful addition to your flea control strategy. They're generally considered safer than traditional pesticides, especially if they’re derived from natural ingredients. However, it's crucial to ensure that any product you use is labeled as safe for pets and to follow the instructions closely.



As for interactions, there's typically a low risk of interaction between botanical insecticides and other flea treatments, like topical spot-ons or oral medications. But to be safe, it's best to apply these treatments on different days, giving at least 48 hours between their applications.



For effective use, target areas where fleas are likely to hide, such as carpets, pet bedding, and furniture. Vacuum thoroughly before spraying to remove eggs and larvae, and remember to wash your pet's bedding regularly in hot water. Always allow treated areas to dry completely before allowing your pet near them.



Keep an eye out for any signs of adverse reactions in your pet, like excessive licking, drooling, or coughing, and contact your vet if these occur.
