spray weekly for 5-7 weeks.
Entire property, including lawn? Or just around the exterior of the house?

When spraying outside add 1 ounce of mineral oil to every gallon of spray.
Thanks.

Every where outside that you don’t want fleas

It helps it last longer. More effective. The oil doesnt evaporate as quickly as just the water alone mixture.
The greater the coverage area the more fleas you'll kill. Spray entire yard. Otherwise more eggs hatching in your yard.

Crop oils are generally made of 95 to 98 percent paraffin or naphtha-based petroleum oil and 1 to 2 percent surfactant/emulsifier. Crop oils promote the penetration of a pesticide spray either through a plant’s waxy cuticle or an insect’s tough, chitinous shell. Traditional crop oils are more commonly used for insect and disease control and rarely with herbicides.
