Zodiac Flea & Tick Spray for Carpets & Upholstery
Zodiac Flea & Tick Spray for Carpets & Upholstery earns a top spot for indoor dog homes by combining rapid knockdown with a formulation optimized for fabrics, making it especially effective on carpets, rugs and upholstery where dogs rest. Compared with botanical-based sprays like Vet's Best it leans on stronger synthetic actives for longer residual control, and while not always the cheapest versus mass-market brands such as Hartz, its performance-to-cost ratio is strong for households needing fast, lasting suppression.

It trades some residual longevity and immediate potency compared with chemical-centric options like Zodiac or Hartz, but its safety-focused positioning and slightly higher price are attractive to health-conscious pet parents seeking a lower-risk indoor treatment.
