Household Sprays

When your pet has fleas it is important to remember that many more will be in your carpets, soft furnishings, pet bedding and in the cracks and crevices of your floor. The only way to eliminate fleas is to control the fleas on your pet and the ones in the environment. For every flea you see on your pet there will be around 100 in the carpet! The main reason that people think their flea product is "not working" is because they have not treated the environment effectively and they are expecting a quicker result than is reasonable. If your pet has a flea problem allow at least 3 months to get things under control if you are doing everything correctly- much longer if you cannot treat all the cats , dogs and rabbits in the household regularly or if you do not treat the environment. Get fleas under control; treat all your pets and the house!

Acclaim

 Acclaim

Acclaim helps to control the immature fleas which live in the environment. Flea larvae thrive in carpets, under cushions and in the pet's bedding. These areas should be treated thoroughly. Acclaim contains Precor a long acting insect growth regulator which prevents immature fleas from developing into adults. This breaks their life cycle and protects your home for 12 months when used correctly. Acclaim also contains a short acting insecticide to kill any adult flea which are present in the environment at the time you spray. This insecticide also kills ants, cockroaches, ticks, earwigs, silverfish, other bristletails, centipedes, spiders and beetles. One can of Acclaim will treat 140 square metres (about the size of a four bedroom house). Remove all pets before spraying and ensure fish tanks are removed or covered.

Skoosh

 Skoosh

Skoosh is a unique product because it is insecticde free and controls all lifestages of the flea including pupae! It works by coating them in a sticky coat of silicone so they cannot hatch or move. The effects last for around six weeks but if you use a suitable spot-on preparation on your pet as well you should be able to control fleas for longer than that.
