Do Flea Bombs Really Work?
• Step 1:Most flea bombs contain both a chemical to kill adult fleas and a chemical to inhibit the growth of eggs and larva. Many companies produce flea bombs, but here is a small sample of some common name brands and their active ingredients: Zodiac brand indoor flea fogger’s active ingredients are (S)-Methoprene, which interrupts the flea life cycle by prohibiting maturation, and Permethrin, which kills adult fleas. Zema IGR Fogger contains Nylar, which interrupts flea life cycle, and plant-based pyrethrum as well as the chemical permethrin to kill adult fleas. Like Zodiac, Adams Plus fogger’s active ingredients are (S)-Methoprene and permethrin.
