FAQs
How often should I use the Bob Martin Flea Bomb?
Frequency depends on the severity of the infestation. It's recommended to use it when you observe flea activity. For severe cases, a second treatment might be necessary after a few weeks, following the product's instructions.
Can I use this in multiple rooms at once?
The Bob Martin Flea Bomb is designed for single-room treatment per bomb. For multiple rooms, use a separate bomb for each room, following the same procedure for each.
Is it safe for my cat/dog to be in the house while one room is being treated?
No, all pets must be removed from the room being treated and ideally from the entire house during the 2-hour treatment and 30-minute ventilation period to ensure their safety.
What happens if I don't air the room properly?
Failure to ventilate adequately may leave residual chemicals in the air, which could be harmful to people and pets. Always follow the 30-minute airing guideline.
How long does the flea bomb remain effective?
The flea bomb provides an immediate knock-down effect and helps control fleas long-term by targeting various life stages. However, re-infestation can occur from outside sources, so ongoing prevention for pets is recommended.
Do I need to cover furniture or electronics?
It is advisable to cover fish tanks and extinguish open flames. While the product is generally safe, covering delicate electronics or food preparation surfaces is a good precautionary measure.
Troubleshooting
Fleas reappear shortly after treatment.
Ensure the room was properly sealed during treatment and that the full 2-hour exclusion period was maintained. Re-treatment may be necessary if the infestation was particularly severe or if eggs hatched after initial treatment. Ensure pets are also being treated concurrently.
The bomb did not activate.
Check that the activation mechanism was engaged correctly according to the product instructions. Ensure the can was not damaged prior to use. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Lingering odor after airing.
Continue airing the room for an extended period. Ensure all surfaces are clean, as residues can sometimes hold odors. Vacuuming thoroughly after treatment can also help.
