Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
We fought with the fleas for almost two months before I found EcoEXEMPT. They were especially bad this year, apparently, and our cat might have been bringing them into the house repeatedly even despite a thorough treatment with Proline. 2 bottles covered my 1800 SF condo and it took us 3 nights after work to do everything, as it takes a lot of time to move furniture out from the walls, lift up mattresses, and pull shoes out of the closet.
PROS:
- I felt completely safe using EcoEXEMPT in the house, sitting in the carpet where it was administered, getting it on my clothes. It's not harmless by any means - it's a VERY powerful desiccant that absorbs all moisture on contact - but it's not poisonous and doesn't smell horrific. It smells kind of nice, actually; clean and flowery.
- The bottles it comes in double as effective applicators. Don't feel like you need to buy a separate device - I did and barely used it.
- It absolutely worked. The adult fleas are gone, the next batch of flea eggs never hatched, the cycle is broken.
- It didn't stain or leave any kind of mark anywhere we used it - carpet, hardwood, leather, fabric, tile.
ADVICE:
I didn't label this "CONS" on purpose - I didn't experience any downsides. But here's what I learned in using EcoEXEMPT:
- It is DUSTY! This is the finest dust you have ever seen and it will get everywhere - which is what it's supposed to do. Take the clothes out of your closet, the books off your shelves, the computers and pens and things off your desk, pack them in sealed bags or containers, and don't put them back for several days unless you want all your things covered in white powder. We draped sheets and plastic but it wouldn't have mattered - I am still wiping a layer of dust off the shoulders of all my shirts and jackets 2 months later. The dust takes several days to truly settle and even then when you vacuum it will kick it up again a little. Go a room/floor at a time so you have a non-dusty place to store things and breathe easily - if I did it again I would have waited a few days between areas to let the previous one settle down before moving stuff around in there. Be prepared to dust more than usual for a few weeks.
- Just because it's not poisonous doesn't mean you should breathe it. It will dry your mouth, throat and lungs out very quickly. Wear a painting mask and keep a (sealed) source of water handy.
- Wear gloves! We squeezed it out of the bottle to spread it around and then worked it into the carpet with our hands, and if we hadn't been wearing rubber gloves our hands would have cracked and bled from being dry.
- Same goes for your eyes - unless you like that sandpaper feeling when you blink, wear sealed goggles or at least keep eyedrops at hand.
I spent dozens of hours researching before settling on EcoEXEMPT. If it hadn't worked, I was prepared to pay several hundred dollars for professional fumigation, but in researching I learned that most fumigators use an artificial chemical version of what EcoEXEMPT's plant-based formula is. I'm SO GLAD I chose EcoEXEMPT and spent less for a better solution to our flea problem that is healthier for my family.
