How do I use Flea + Tick Concentrate?Updated 2 years ago

How to Use

To dilute the concentrate: Pour 4 oz concentrate into a bottle with 27 oz of filtered water. 

For Furred Animals

Hold the spray nozzle approximately 8-12 inches from the pet. Start by spraying at the tail and work toward the torso. Treat the pet’s entire coat including legs, tail, and underbody, fluffing the hair backward to help the spray penetrate through the coat down to the skin. 

For Carriers, Bedding, Kennels, And Toys 

As Spray: Spray surfaces until wet from a distance of 6-8 inches. Allow to air dry or wipe dry with a cloth or paper towel. 

As Laundry Additive: If bedding can be washed, add 1-2 capfuls of this product to your normal laundry detergent. Use the highest heat possible. Dry normally, adding 30 minutes to time. After washing/drying, store clean articles only in places that have been thoroughly cleaned, vacuumed, and treated with the BugMD Flea + Tick solution.

To Use as Ear Mite Treatment on Cats and Dogs

Apply 1/2 ounce per ear. Reapply 2 and 4 days after initial treatment. 

BugMD Flea + Tick eradicates ear mites and significantly reduces crust within one week after the initial application.

To Use as Lawn Treatment for Fleas, Ticks, and Mites

Mow your lawn a day or two before spraying. Spray in a slow, even sweeping motion, and be sure to cover the entire lawn surface where your pet normally goes. Spray under trees and ornamentals but avoid soaking young or flowering plants. Repeat as necessary.

To Use As A Treatment To Treat Fleas, Ticks, And Mites In Carpets Or Rugs

Vacuum your carpet or rug thoroughly. Before using the Flea + Tick concentrate to treat carpets for fleas, ticks, and mites, perform a colorfastness test first in an inconspicuous area and wait for it to dry. If any color changes occur, discontinue use. 

For rental or commercial deep cleaning machines, thoroughly rinse the machine before use. Use 5 oz. of concentrated solution per gallon of warm water, or follow the machine manufacturer's instructions in washing. 

For home-owned uprights or deep cleaning canister machines, use 5 oz. per gallon of warm water or follow the machine manufacturer's instructions. 

For handheld or cordless deep cleaning machines, follow the machine manufacturer's instructions. 

After Cleaning: To prevent furniture from staining carpeting, place plastic or cardboard under the legs of furniture. Allow the cleaned area to dry and then vacuum thoroughly. Keep pets and children off carpet and upholstery until dry.
