Virbac Indorex Flea Spray

Product Information

Indorex is an effective treatment for ridding yourhouse of fleas. Asfleas spend most of their time in your pet's surroundings and not actually on your pet,treating your home is as important as treating your animals. Indorex Spray will keep your home free of fleas for a full 12 months. Not only does it kill adult fleas and dust mites, it also prevents the development of their eggs and larvae, thus breaking the flea life-cycle. It is the only veterinary household flea control proven to be stable in UV light. Even 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. The active ingredients in Indorex are toxic to many pests, but also some pets including cats, birds, reptiles, spiders and fish. For this reason, all animals should be kept well away during the treatment. Fleas are more prevalent during the warmer months of the year, so you should be especially careful with your pets during the summer. Try to limit the amount of time your pet spends outdoors in the heat of the day and at dusk and dawn. Brush Your Pet With a Flea Comb

Letting your pet into all rooms in the house as the presence of a host will encourage fleas to hatch out. Remember that fleas are not too fussy about where they get their meals so if pets are not around, emerging fleas will happily jump onto humans and bite them instead! 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. Indorex spray can be applied to all domestic surfaces, such as carpets, floors, curtains, rugs, and blankets and beds. How long does it take for Indorex to kill fleas? Once you’ve treated your home you will need to vacuum frequently for a few weeks and make sure you empty the vacuum immediately, away from the house.

If your pet has fleas, you'll notice them scratching and biting at themselves more than usual and you might see small red bumps under their fur. Since fleas will also bite humans who are in close range of them, the first sign of their presence you see might evenbe on your own skin. So it is possible that a smaller amount would suffice but we are very happy anyway.

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. Without getting rid of the eggs, larvae and pupae, your pet will never be free. Did you know that a female flea can lay up to 50 eggs every single day? With a lifespan of three months, that is a lot of kids. After application, it is recommended that you vacuum regularly as the vibrations will stimulate any pupae to hatch into adult fleas, at which point Indorex's adulticidal properties will take effect. Vacuuming will also help remove any lingering dust mite fragments which otherwise remain potent allergens to some people and pets.

In simple terms, you have to be patient. Maybe not what you want to hear if you’re being bitten every night, but patience is key to eradicating the issue.

Did you know that only 5% of fleas are actually on your pet at any one time? The other 95% are on soft furnishings, just jumping onto your pet temporarily to feed. Fleas will also only die if they bite your pet and ingest the product in their blood but can live for up to two weeks without a meal. Eggs and larvae can also only be killed by home sprays and foggers. The reason you keep doing this is that as well as helping you rid your home of carcasses, vacuuming also creates vibrations that cause fleas to emerge from their pupa making them vulnerable to the spray. House dust mites can contribute to allergic diseases in dogs just as much as humans, and will often trigger atopic dermatitis. Using Indorex will kill these mites and help to control them in the home for a full 12 months. However, faeces and body fragments of dust mites can also be potent allergens, so regular vacuuming is also essential.
