Indorex Flea Spray

Product Information

But it is natural, which may be vital for you if you don’t like to use harsh chemicals or have an aversion to ingredients commonly used. It’s a trigger spray too, so can eliminate the risk of airborne particles by offering more targetted liquid spraying. When you are facing quite a serious infestation and the only way forward is to spray the entire room from top to bottom, a flea fogger may be the best option so you’re not standing manually spraying for ages. Perhaps the most widely available form, and the one which is least likely to disrupt your home life too much. They come in aerosol or trigger options and can be sprayed anywhere that is needed, as and when needed. Sprays usually kill fleas at all life stages and can be used as often as needed. They’re best for targetted action as opposed to a room-wide solution, for instance spraying directly onto bedding and carpets. Fogger Sprays In the vast majority of cases, sprays that can be used directly on surfaces are best and should be where you start the fight. Fleas are not airborne creatures, so while they are designed to disperse droplets, airborne foggers can be a step too far in most cases.

Virbac Indorex Defence Household Flea Spray is a household friendly flea spray, that's also effective at killing dust mites and stopping development of eggs and larvae. Virbac’s Indorex keeps your home flea free for a full 12 months. Synthetic sprays are best, but the obvious risk of chemicals is present and you may wish to avoid them.

If you look for the safest and most secure way to get rid of fleas and control flea infestations in your household, you can't go wrong with the Acclaim Household flea spray.

It is good when used alongside sprays beforehand, which can offer more targetted results on areas where your pet may favour such as the sofa or around their bed. Also bear in mind that they will set off any smoke alarms so disable these first. Place on a fire-safe surface. The team here at Petz also have experience using flea products, like many pet owners. Having used the Virbac Spray and Acclaim Household Spray within the team regularly and over some years, we knew they had to be our biggest recommendations. They both got to work fast, and while they can’t work alone, we noticed a clear reduction in fleas from the spray vs just vacuuming alone.

This one contains 15 grams of Permethrin, which is a very high dose compared to other options on the market. Flea bomb usage should not be taken lightly as it can rule the use of your room out for a really long time, and this CritterKill was previously only for professional controlled use – so you know it is strong stuff. Before applying any of the above, you should remove all washable surfaces like cushion covers and bedding and wash on high heat for the best results. Flea eggs, for instance, laid by adult female fleas, roll off pets' coats into any crevices (including carpets, rugs, pet bedding, skirting boards and floorboards). The hatching larvae burrow deep down to protect themselves in these crevices and soft furnishings where they turn into pupae. They can stay in this state for as long as a year but, eventually, they will develop into adult fleas, leap onto your pet as it passes and the life-cycle starts again.

Carpets, curtains, clothes and soft furnishings can all harbour fleas, and can be very stubborn to remove. In the worst case scenario, you may even have to consider replacing a lot of your fabrics after treatment if flea infestation persists. But before you take that rather drastic step, try this: When your pet has fleas, treating them with dog or cat flea treatment isn’t enough. Eggs and larvae will still be found on soft surfaces such as their bed, your carpets and sofa, and in the car if you take them on trips. But they can fall off your pet pretty much anywhere they have been.

If you are worried about these issues, opt for a treatment that doesn’t contain the ingredient, but when used safely and following strict guidelines, it shouldn’t have a negative effect on animals. Always air a room fully after application. Natural vs Synthetic flea treatments – which is best? However, fleas can also thrive in winter inside your home, as you will be using central heating and blankets to create a warm environment for yourself. Unfortunately, fleas also thrive in the warmth. The flea spray from Vibrac is a great option for disinsecting living areas. It is one of the most affordable options in our list, yet, it provides impressively long-lasting results and outcompetes many other more expensive products.Fleas are unpleasant for pets and humans and can, unfortunately, have a relatively long life cycle. Therefore, finding a product that really works is vital. A flea bomb is a smoke treatment that kills any fleas in the area once activated, and you may need several, one for each room of the house. Make sure any cupboards containing clothes are also treated, hot washed or disposed of too, and any cushions and soft furnishings are treated. You will need to remove yourself and any plants and animals (including fish) from the home while the flea bomb works and clears from the air- maybe a good opportunity to take your pets to the groomers for a flea bath! Flea sprays The next cool thing about this spray is that it boasts high potency on different surfaces and under different light conditions. You can equally efficiently disinsect both a poorly lit garage and walls near the windows that are under ultraviolet radiation. In addition to this, the product provides a very long-lasting effect. It can securely protect your household for about a whole year after spraying. Indorex only treats the home, for full coverage you will also need to treat your pets, for example with Effipro Spot-On The pyrethroid also has shown a toxic effect on rats and other small animals, so do the same with these. Lastly, it is highly toxic to aquatic mammals, so remove fish tanks before using flea sprays.

There are various forms of home flea treatments, and you may find that some suit lifestyles or levels of severity better than others: Sprays It is very toxic to cats, who cannot tolerate the therapeutic doses made for dogs. It remains much longer in cat organs compared to dogs and can be fatal in larger doses, so if you have cats, increase the recommended wait times before you allow them into the room. First of all, consider the flea treatment which you have been using on your pet up until that stage- why didn’t it prevent the flea infestation from occurring? Consider if you were using it often enough, and using it correctly. If you were, then you may need to look at the possibility that the product itself has proven to be ineffective. It contains Margosa, Citronella, Eucalyptus and Peppermint. These all have their own job and can repel fleas as they don’t like the smells, so is a bit more humane. We looked for products that are effective first and foremost, but also are good value for money, can be applied to large areas and are easy to use. Types of home flea treatmentsEven if you use spot-on treatments, tablets and any other help you can get from the vets, fleas will be laying eggs in your home ready to continue plaguing your pet. Vacuuming is vital as no insecticide can kill off fleas at the pupae stage (you must wait until they hatch), so hoovering regularly over the course of seven days should get all last traces remaining. You may also wish to reapply repellents after this time. An odourless spray, Indorex is the only household spray proven to be UV stable - working equally well in areas with bright sunlight such as cars and conservatories, and is safe to use in households with very small babies as well as pregnant women. A single can is enough to provide coverage for a three bedroom semi detached house for a whole year. Varying in content, some of the sprays are non-toxic and will cause no harm to you, your pets, and other animals that live on your territory. Meanwhile, other products might contain some harmful additives and you will have to thoroughly ventilate the rooms after product application. With that, it is advisable to go for safe treatments that will cause no allergic reactions.
