NOPE! Smoke Flea Bombs for The Home (4 x 3.5g) | Low Odour | Non-Staining | Non-Sparking Wick | 120㎥ Covers 4 Rooms

Flea bombs, commonly referred to as total release foggers, are often viewed as a convenient "nuclear option" for homeowners facing a sudden pest surge. Their primary appeal lies in their ability to provide an immediate knockdown of adult fleas in large, open areas with very little physical effort. For a relatively low cost, usually ranging between $15 and $30 for a multi-pack, a homeowner can treat several rooms simultaneously. When triggered, the canister releases a fine pesticide mist that settles over surfaces, killing active insects on contact and offering a sense of immediate relief from a biting infestation. However, the effectiveness of these devices is frequently undermined by their lack of penetration. Because the aerosol mist travels upward and then settles directly downward, it rarely reaches the specific environments where fleas actually thrive. Approximately 90% of a flea population exists as eggs, larvae, or pupae tucked deep within carpet fibers, underneath heavy furniture, or inside the crevices of baseboards—all areas that the fog typically cannot reach. Consequently, while the adult fleas die off, the next generation remains protected and will hatch shortly after the treatment, often leading to a "re-infestation" within days or weeks. Safety is another significant concern that requires meticulous preparation. The chemicals used in these products leave a residual film on every exposed surface, including countertops, electronics, and children’s toys, necessitating a deep clean of the home once the treatment is finished. Furthermore, the aerosol propellants are highly flammable. Failure to extinguish pilot lights or unplug sparking appliances can lead to serious fire hazards. Pets, plants, and humans must evacuate the premises for several hours, and specific care must be taken to seal fish tanks, as aquatic life is particularly vulnerable to these pesticides. For these reasons, many pest control experts now favor targeted household sprays over broad-reaching bombs. Sprays allow the user to direct the pesticide—specifically those containing an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR)—into the dark corners and fibers where fleas hide, rather than wasting chemical coverage on the ceiling or the middle of a hardwood floor. While flea bombs can be a useful tool for clearing a room of adult pests quickly, they are rarely a complete solution on their own and usually require follow-up treatments or more precise application methods to break the flea life cycle permanently.

My dog had fleas. Or possibly still has fleas. I've not found any on him, but he seems to have really got into the habit of a good scratch, so why stop now? Having washed everything in sight, cleaned the carpets, sprayed various other stuff, and used all relevant treatments on the mutt himself, it seemed sensible to have a final bash at the bedroom where he sleeps, just to make sure. I read the reviews of a bunch of these things, and although many seemed to have very similar reslts, according to customers, this brand just appeared to have the edge. First, they're really small. I know, I'm sure it says so in the description, but even so. Surprisingly small. Second, I found they lit really easily, but I was using a long-length lighter doodad which Dad uses for candles because he can get right down inside the jar when they've burned down. I closed the door and left the room for about 5 hours. Coming back, I noticed what other users have described as the smokey smell. It's similar to the smell of party poppers or crackers, so I decided it was almost pleasant. Five minutes with the windows open and a through breeze and it had gone. Some purchasers have mentioned that the whole flea bomb hasn't burned up because it's still got the wick and the red surface/base in the pot. That's just the covering to stop it all falling out - it should still be in there. To be honest, I didn't really see many insects/fleas in there beforehand, but there were a couple of deceased flies and spiders by the window, so it did its job. All in all, easy to use, seems to have worked, and I don't think there's anything to knock about it. I'd use them again. Good job I've still got three left.

Seem to do the job until weather warms up then out come the little nasty insects 🦟

Bought these as we have a cat and often find if he has been sleeping in one of the spare rooms for a while he leaves a few friends behind as he spends a lot of time outdoors. I used two of these 1 day apart as first one seemed to have no imp;act and even after two attempts they managed to kill nothing at all., Even the house fly that I left buzzing around in the room and the spider in the corner were both happily doing their thing even after 2nd round of smoking. I have used other Smoke bombs in the past and most are effective but these are the worst ever and complete waste of money. You would probably have more impact on bugs etc. if you asked a load of Cigarette smokers to spend a day puffing away in the room compared to these. Have to question to so called reviews which claim to have had positive results. Save your money and look at alternatives.

This is great for 7m3 for crawling insects which I only found out when delivered.. if using as a flea bomb better to have two per room. Also does set off smoke alarms. Has definitely worked for us as we have a 2 bed bungalow but would avoid if you live in a bigger property

These work there’s no doubt about that !

These worked great. I have 2 cats and although I stopped them going into my bedrooms, it was too late! Fleas must have laid eggs in my bedroom carpet. Was getting bitten. Used this and it seems to have done the job. I am asmatic and I have noticed a slight iritation. They do leave a slight smokey smell,but it's a small price to pay as I was seeing 3 to 5 fleas landing on my feet!

Amazing product. Bought these as dog had fleas. We were going away for a few days made sure the dog was flea free before we went. Would deal with the rest when we got home. On returning home, we were inundated with fleas all over our feet and legs. It was so bad I felt sick! Grandson in law went to pets at home and got some spray. Luckily we live in a bungalow and only two rooms with carpet. Sprayed every where and then set the bombs off. Left it 24 hours when we went back there was no sign of fleas any where. We used 2 in the bedroom and 2 in the lounge. This is a small property, so would recommend buying more for a bigger one.
