It takes about 24 hours to kill the fleas. In the meantime, vacuum your house really well and when you're done, throw the bag in a plastic bag and put it outside into the trash can. If you have one of those vacuums that have a wind tunnel thing, empty it into a plastic bag, outside, and leave it out there in the trash can until trash day. Fleas can live about 30 days without eating. You may need to spray your yard to kill any fleas out there, and also spray your house. If you have a bird, be very careful and maybe let the bird stay with a friend for a few days. Good luck. This is a very bad year for fleas.
Firstly,
I suggest checking with your veterinarian.
I suggest sticking to one product.
There are so many advanced products for killing fleas and ticks at all
stages and cycles that you should be able to find what you need from one
product.
You can. I would recommend waiting a bit until the new grass is somewhat better established, but if you are following the application instructions, the worst harm will come from the applicator wheels. Not sure what the current temps are there in NY, but they are ideal for reseeding here in WA.

I spent some time researching products to combat the horrendous Japanese Beetle problem we got after putting in a new lawn; I guess they came with it.
Dealing with them is a PITA so it makes better sense to kill the grubs in the ground.
This product: Imidacloprid, is a Bayer chemical but the product you mention from them has only a 0.2percent concentration and they offer no higher.You can buy (we just did) a generic brand with a 0.5 % concentration from several sources on eBay at varying prices; ours cost $60/30# and two bags cost ~$28 to ship to our address. In checking just now, I found the same seller offering 2 X 30# for just under $100. Keystone's ImidiclopridIt is also available as a liquid concentrate but we prefer the granular.The research I did turned up only positive comments but I won't know the results until next year.
