This product doesn't kill the fleas in our yard. We even purchased it through Amazon twice, to use it as the instructions suggest. (Repeated treatment after 7 days.) It doesn't work. Don't waste your money on this. I'm sorry I did.

Repeated applications of a similar product by Adams did indeed fail to manage my last summer's flea and tick infestation. However, the Sentry does as advertised, and managed things nicely. What I did notice was that the dispenser empties rather more quickly with the Sentry, resulting in needing more to cover the same amount of yard. That is, four bottles of Sentry where three of the other (more expensive) stuff would have served.

Still, on the local store shelves at the high volume pet supply places, the Adams sits there and the Sentry is gone. So, I ordered from Amazon, instead, since local supplies are at best sporadic.

Sentry Flea Spray for yard use worked fairly well. Did a great job for first couple of weeks we have had a bad year for fleas so it helped.

Honest reviews on SentryHOME Flea and Tick Yard and Kennel Concentrate

. . . . YOU HAVE TO TREAT YOUR PET(S), THEIR BEDDING, AND YOUR CARPETS . . . AND YOU HAVE TO BE DILIGENT ABOUT YOUR "DE-FLEA REGIMENT".

Before Sentry you couldn't walk into this full 1/4 acre yard without having your ankles devoured by fleas. Our golden retriever was covered with fleas. We couldn't sleep at night or watch TV from all her scratching (she howled from the itching). All the flea baths, spot-on treatments, natural flea sprays & repellents, etc., that we used over the years and on various dogs in this house to get rid of fleas did nothing . . . until we added the Sentry Home Flea & Tick Yard treatment to the yard. Because the fleas here were so bad and we just added a German shepherd that has very bad flea allergies, we used the Sentry every two weeks, right after the lawn was mowed. It takes 4 containers to cover this yard but this is a fairly large yard and I do make sure I cover EVERY SQUARE INCH and at least 2-3 feet up all of the bushes, plants and trees (all greenery is doing well so it really is safe for your plants). I have been using this religiously (every two weeks) since mid-August (bought it first at the pet shop but have since ordered LOTS from Amazon) as well as flea baths for the dogs every two weeks, spot on treatments on both dogs once a month, and flea treatments for carpets and dog bedding. It took about two and a half months but we finally have a flea-free yard and dogs. There are so many possums, raccoons, and stray cats that wander through the yard so we will continue using the Sentry although maybe not quite as often. For the first time in her whole life (8 years) our Golden Retriever is flea-free. She (and we) sleep through the whole night, her coat is fuller, and she's even put on weight, maybe because her blood supply is not being depleted by a flea colony. And my German Shepherd's skin problems due to flea bites has totally cleared.

Yes, it's pricey, At $17.27 per container and since I need 4 containers on each application, that makes each application $69.08. BUT, IT REALLY DOES WORK!!! I have had to bathe the dogs myself instead of professional grooming to save a little money as a trade off so that I can spend the $140 a month to get rid of these fleas, but, I would do it again.

So the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I have had several (at least 7-8) containers, where I go about spraying thinking that I am dispensing Sentry, but for some reason it is not dispensing any solution. The containers are not meant to be opened manually so then I have to find pliers to open the faulty container as well as a container that I know does work and then transfer the solution from the faulty container to the working container. And then I have to respray the area that I THOUGHT I had already sprayed. That's a pain in an already laborious task. I wish the containers were better made. So what I do now is I carry the pliers in my back pocket and I check (by shaking the container) shortly after I start using it to see if it's dispensing. At least that way I don't waste a lot more of my time or a lot more water.

I live in a heavily wooded area of Florida, where fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, etc. are a huge problem at least 9 months of the year. This product did nothing for my bug problems, has a terrible, harsh chemical smell and you have to use several bottles to cover your whole lawn and home perimeter as directed. I've also tried the Adams and Bio Spot brands with similar results.

If you prefer not to waste your money, buy Natural Chemistry's yard spray. I now have no fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, flies, ants or stink bugs anywhere near my home (thankfully have never had a problem with bedbugs, but bottle says it even kills and repels those too). One bottle covers 4500 square feet (I get two applications out of each bottle), and has an adjustable nozzle so you can control flow. To top it off, it costs less, it's safe for my pets and kids, and smells good. They also make shampoos and pet & indoor sprays which I also use now.
