I used it last year, worked great! The apartment was flea free within a
couple days. Of course, I didn't have many fleas, they had ridden home
from a friends house, and I only found about 10 total before I used it.
It may take longer if you have more. I bought it a store called Worms
Way http://www.wormsway.com/en/ and it was only $11.50 for a 4 pound
bag, which is cheap considering how little you use. We put some in a
spice bottle and lightly dusted the living/dining room and the hallway,
which is the only carpet in our apartment. You don't even have to
vacuum it up, since the food grade is completely safe. Of course, we
also washed all the cloth items in the ferret room, and gave them
baths. So easy, and I felt much safer not using any nasty chemicals
around my babies...
