Yes. But there's one that's pet safe. The stuff used in pool filters isn't safe for your pets. 4951

You could just go to the Do It yourself pest control on 1960 and ask the best way to treat fleas in the yard.  I am sure they could hook you up with a product that you can spray as needed.I had a bad flea infestestion in my house and i called a pest control company to come out and spray my house.  I had to evacuate the house for a couple of hours, pets and people.  And then vacuum a lot before and after.  But it worked great.  4951

@aggiebutterfly: See my post above.  You can sprinkle this stuff in the yard and it will keep other bugs away also. Good for use in the house too.  They sell it at tractor supply in porterhttp://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/red-lake-earthreg%3B-diatomaceous-earth-with-calcium-bentonite-20-lb

I put down Ortho Max granules in the spring and fall. Never had have an issue with pets but I also follow the label closely. You apply it with a rotary or drop spreader just like fertilizer.
 
Love this product....it does just what it says. Kills them all! Emoticon

@Irispixies: Yes and No.
Filter DE is slightly different than garden DE. Or at least so they say.garden DE will cause the exoskeleton on the bugs to be scratched and basically think of it as getting infected.I however use a flea control on my pets that sterilizes the fleas. This in turn causes the population to decrease to zero after awhile. 4951
