How long does raid last on carpet?

Published in Flea Control Duration 1 min read

Raid® Flea Killer Plus Carpet & Room Spray remains effective on carpet for up to four months, specifically by killing hatching flea eggs and preventing future infestations.

Understanding Raid's Effectiveness on Carpet

When using Raid® Flea Killer Plus Carpet & Room Spray, its effectiveness on carpet involves two key actions against fleas, providing both immediate relief and long-term protection.

Immediate and Long-Term Action

  • Immediate Kill: The spray is formulated to kill adult fleas on contact. This means that active adult fleas present on your carpet or upholstery at the time of application are eliminated quickly.
  • Residual Protection: Beyond immediate action, a significant benefit of this product is its ability to kill hatching flea eggs for an extended period. This residual effect can last for up to four months on treated carpet and upholstery, effectively breaking the flea life cycle and preventing new generations from emerging.

This dual action ensures that while existing adult fleas are addressed, the unseen threat of future infestations from hatching eggs is also managed for a considerable duration. For optimal results, ensure thorough application across all affected carpeted areas and upholstery.
