Review by Sab_Fan for Victor M230 Ultimate Flea Trap Rating: works as advertised and works great. easy to set up, and fleas are drawn right to it, where they get caught and die. we bought three, because we needed one for each area that fleas were localized in. got 'em all.

one point, that should be made clear: this trap just gets the adult fleas; you still need to use another approach (shampoo, combing, etc.) to take care of the eggs and larvae that are on your pet. that is a separate issue; don't expect the Flea Trap to fix everything.

Review by Living in Budapest for Victor M230 Ultimate Flea Trap Rating: I bought two of these traps based on the mostly positive reviews of the Victor Ultimat Flea Trap. After a week of use my two traps caught a total of one flea. In fairness to the product I should note that we had already been vacuuming every day for 3-4 weeks. We had also treated our apartment with boric acid and our cats with Frontline. Thus, the Victor Trap may have literally caught our last flea! I think these traps would have been very useful in the early stages of eradicating our flea problem. I'd recommend getting one of these traps and using it in conjunction with intensive vacuuming of carpets, thorough washing and cleaning of things or place where your animals may have sat or slept, treatment with boric acid, and perhaps most importantly using something like Frontline on your cat or dog.

Review by michael berry for Victor M230 Ultimate Flea Trap Rating: An earlier review of this product almost made me pass on the purchase, but I'm glad I didn't. I bought 2 and within the first ten hours 40-50 fleas were caught. Moving the traps periodically to new locations appears to be helpful. I plan to get additional traps for other problem areas.

Review by Annie M daffodils for Victor M230 Ultimate Flea Trap Rating: I bought two of these traps. I had a similar product years ago so pretty much knew what to expect. My traps catch a lot of fleas, and I feel really good about the non-toxic approach. However, most flea infestations (in my experience) require other controls as well. I put flea control like Advantage on my cats (the product you put between their shoulderblades once per month). What I like about the flea traps is that I rarely have to spray or powder poisonous flea killing products in my house. I highly recommend this product, as long as you realize it may not be the only flea control you need to use.

Review by Whirled Peas for Victor M230 Ultimate Flea Trap Rating: I must admit I was very skeptical about this, but decided to give it a try out of sheer desperation, and based on the favorable reviews on Amazon. I've got a flea issue with my bedroom carpet, and have tried sprays, continuous vacuuming, boric acid treatments, and dosing my pet with Frontline & Advantage products. While the Advantage works pretty darn well ON the pet, the carpet was still infested no matter what I tried. I plugged in this little contraption on the floor next to my bed, and within TWO HOURS I've already captured 18 fleas, and can actually SEE them hopping across the carpet to get to the trap! I think this is a brilliant, safe, pesticide-free solution to dealing with those pesky little ankle-biting devils that hide in the carpet! I'll continue to vacuum, but I intend to keep this thing plugged in at all times to grab the ones that get away or are newly hatched. Don't hesitate to buy this product!
