How to Use

Directions for Use

• Cover Food & Water: Remove or cover all exposed food, drinking water, dishes, utensils, and processing surfaces before application.
• Remove Pets & Birds: Ensure all pets and birds are removed, and fish aquariums are turned off or covered before activating the canister.
• Shut Off Ignition Sources: Turn off pilot-lights, open flames, gas valves, and appliances that may cycle on or off.
• Prepare Room: Close windows, doors, and ventilators; cover nearby wood floors and furniture with newspapers.
• Activate the Fogger: Shake well, keep upright, point away from face, and press the valve until it locks. Place on a stand or chair in the center of the room.
• Vacate Immediately: Leave the treated area once the fogger is activated; do not re-enter for two hours.
• Ventilate Afterward: After a two-hour wait, open windows, doors, and vents for another two hours; if smell remains, continue ventilation.
• Vacuum & Dispose: For effective flea and tick control, vacuum carpets, furniture, baseboards, and closets after treatment; dispose of the vacuum bag outdoors.
• Check the Room Dimensions: Before using the product, measure the room. One canister is enough for a space up to 16 feet by 16 feet with an 8-foot ceiling (roughly 2,000 cubic feet). Avoid using more than one in a single room.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Avoid Enclosed Areas: Never use the fogger in small or enclosed spaces, as pressure buildup may cause the can to explode.
• Prevent Fire Hazards: Turn off all flames, pilot lights, and ignition sources before activating the fogger to prevent fire.
• Protect Food and Utensils: Remove or cover all exposed food, dishes, and cooking surfaces before fogging begins.
• Keep Away from People and Pets: Ensure everyone, including animals and birds, leaves the treated area immediately after activation.
• Do Not Inhale Vapors: Avoid breathing in fog or mist when handling or entering a treated area after use.

Possible Side Effects

• Skin Irritation: Contact with the fog or residue may cause mild redness or irritation on exposed skin.
• Eye Irritation: Direct exposure can result in watery eyes, redness, or temporary discomfort that usually resolves quickly.
• Respiratory Discomfort: Prolonged inhalation of fog may cause mild coughing or throat irritation. Ventilation reduces these effects.

Storage Information

• Store Away from Heat and Sunlight: Put the canisters in a place that doesn’t get warm or humid. Direct sunlight and heat sources can damage them, so choose a shaded, cool area instead.
• Avoid Freezing or Overheating: Exposure above 130°F may cause bursting, while freezing may reduce product effectiveness.
• Do Not Reuse Canister: Dispose of empty cans properly and never puncture or incinerate, even when empty.
• Keep Out of Reach: Store away from children, pets, and food supplies for safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What active ingredients are in the Advantage® Complete Flea & Tick Protection Household Fogger?

Ans: The Advantage® Complete Household Fogger contains pyrethrins, a synthetic pyrethroid, piperonyl butoxide, N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide, and pyriproxyfen. These components provide adult flea knockdown and inhibit immature flea stages for comprehensive home treatment.

Q2: How large an area can one fogger treat?

Ans: One fogger canister treats approximately a 16 × 16 ft room with an 8 ft ceiling (about 2,000 cubic feet) of unobstructed space. Use multiple canisters in larger or heavily furnished rooms, per label directions, for full coverage.

Q3: How long does the fogger protect against fleas and eggs?

Ans: The fogger’s insect growth regulator helps inhibit immature flea stages and eggs, contributing to residual control. When used as directed alongside pet and environmental measures, it supports ongoing suppression of flea populations for several months.

Q4: Do I need to leave the house during fogger use?

Ans: Yes, evacuate people, pets, and plants from treated areas during discharge and for the label’s recommended reentry time. After fogging, thoroughly ventilate and follow all safety instructions to minimize inhalation and surface-residue exposure.

Q5: What surfaces and areas does the fogger reach inside a home?

Ans: The fogger penetrates carpets, rugs, drapes, upholstery, pet bedding, floor cracks, and open cabinets, reaching hidden flea harborage sites that manual treatments may miss. Cover food and aquariums and follow label protection steps before discharge.

Q6: Can the fogger be used in kitchens or food preparation areas?

Ans: Do not use foggers directly in food preparation areas. Remove or tightly cover food, utensils, and food-contact surfaces per label instructions. Clean food-contact surfaces after treatment and ventilation before reuse.

Q7: Will the fogger eliminate a heavy home infestation by itself?

Ans: The fogger helps reduce adult and immature fleas but is most effective when combined with pet treatment, vacuuming, laundering bedding, and follow-up measures. Integrated pest management yields the best results for heavy or persistent infestations.

Q8: What safety precautions should I follow when using the fogger?

Ans: Remove people and pets, cover or remove exposed food and utensils, turn off pilot lights and open flames, evacuate during discharge, ventilate before reentry, and follow label first-aid and storage instructions to reduce exposure risks.

Q9: What side effects or health risks could occur after fogger use?

Ans: Exposure may cause transient respiratory or skin irritation in sensitive individuals or pets. If symptoms occur, ventilate the area, wash exposed skin, and seek medical or veterinary advice if irritation or breathing problems persist after reentry.

Q10: How should I store and dispose of Advantage® Complete Household Fogger canisters?

Ans: Store canisters in a cool, dry place away from heat and open flames. Do not puncture or incinerate. Dispose of empty or unused canisters according to local hazardous-waste regulations and municipal guidance to ensure safe handling.
