Indorex Defence Flea Spray for the Home | Kills Fleas | 500ml Can

This stuff is mega toxic - that is if you happen to be a grub of any kind! I don’t have pets, but I do have a serious spider / louse / creepy crawly phobia, and I’ve been on the hunt for years for something effective to protect my home.My g/f initially noticed when using it for her cat, literally ANYTHING that came into contact with it was history! Spiders, woodlouse, silver fish, ants….the list goes on. I’ve been using this now around the home for the last 3-4 years, and I think I’ve noticed one creeper that’s survived - likely that it didn’t come into contact with the spray.Do note however, it’s not an instant knock down, but takes maybe 10-20 mins for big spiders, but I often come downstairs in the morning to see the carnage it has caused in the night!It’s particularly useful just prior to big spider season in September - I usually do the whole house early to mid August and I notice results far beyond 6 months. It really is that good. Even on my tiled kitchen floor that gets swept and washed regularly - it still works! I’ve have tried countless preparations and home remedies, from designated spider spray, ultrasonic repellants, peppermint, lavender; nothing comes close to Indorex.It’s certainly not cheap, but if you are a lifelong suffering arachnophobe, this stuff is the business. And it’s safe for pets of course!I have still given 5* due to nothing I’ve used previously coming close, but there is one downside I have noticed. If you spray it on white uPVC, (door/window/skirting), it seems to slightly discolour it. I have plastic skirting, and there is a faint yellowing after repeated applications that won’t come off. However this for me is a small price to pay to be almost grub free. One can will do an entire 3 bed home for at least 6 months. Spray lightly onto edge of carpet all the way round each room, and in areas where creepers may enter such as door thresholds, air bricks, gaps round pipes etc. I find buying the twin/triple pack works out cheaper in the long run, and ensures I always have a can in stock. I have at least 3 friends that have also started using it, and everyone is very pleased with the results.I have recently had my block paving jet washed and re-sanded. I noticed a large infestation of ants had made home under my drive. There must have been 500+ ants, and these were the ones I could see. Likely 1000’s more underneath. One application of Indorex and 20 mins later - nothing. Checked back the next few days, and the problem was eliminated. Took me less than 2 mins.This stuff really does obliterate anything that is foolish enough to come into contact with it.Creeper problem? Indorex it !!

So far, I have only used this over the last two days. I can certainly testify that there are less fleas around because they’re not annoying me - had one tiny one earlier, which has probably just hatched.I’m hoovering, getting rid of hoovered-up stuff into the outside bin immediately, and following instructions to the letter. Also sorted the cats at the same time with Advantage - cannot review that yet.The smell is fairly strong but this is a pesticide. Animals must stay out of the room for a fixed amount of time. Going to finish the house treatments and then continue the hoovering - the pesticide does remain and the hoovering encourages the eggs to hatch, which then means they come across the pesticide and die.I am going to buy this from now on, instead of my previous choice, which was clearly far inferior - I can tell that already. It will become a cleaning staple. The tin is 500mg, not 200mg, so does go quite far, but I got two anyway and that’s enough for my two-bedroom semi.So, all in all, very happy. But make sure you treat all animals with an animal-friendly flea treatment, that you have a good Hoover, that you empty it outside and that you follow all instructions, or you’ll be wasting your money and time.

Since moving to the countryside, one of my dogs managed to pick up a couple of fleas despite regular flea treatment. I was horrified at the thought of fleas or eggs ending up in the house, so I went a little overboard and sprayed practically every square inch of the house! I treated the rooms with the animals safely out of the way and ventilated them for a couple of hours afterwards. The following morning I found dead spiders and woodlice on the treated areas! It was September, so spider season too! I can’t yet say how effective it is long term against fleas I haven’t actually found any in the house prior to treatment, but it certainly seems to work on other unwanted creepy crawlies. I also have an ornate metal front door with lots of decorative panels where spiders seem to love making themselves at home! I’ve sprayed these areas too in the hope it will discourage them from coming back. Fingers crossed it helps keep the cobwebs at bay! I’ll definitely be keeping a can handy.

We bought this to keep in the cupboard for when the cat inevitably brings a stray flea indoors. For minor issues, or just spot-treating the pet beds, the sofa, and a few rugs, it does exactly what it needs to. The smell isn't overwhelmingly offensive, and it settles relatively quickly without leaving everything soaking wet.However, if you are dealing with a proper, full-blown flea outbreak, do not waste your time walking around trying to spray this into every skirting board and corner of the house. It simply isn't powerful or far-reaching enough to get on top of a massive infestation. When it gets to that stage, you are much better off evacuating the house and setting off a proper flea bomb or fogger to nuke the space completely.Keep a can of this on hand for general maintenance, preventative top-ups, and small flare-ups, but don't expect it to perform miracles if the situation has already gotten out of control.

I have been at my wits end and actually becoming depressed over the HUGE flea infestion we’ve had for MONTHS. I have so many bites 😭 We’ve tried vet treatments, collars, spot ons, shampoos, pet sprays, household sprays, flea bombs and in total have spent over £400 trying to get rid. Nothing worked.1 bottle of this covered my 3 bed home, and killed off EVERYTHING, instantly! It does smell so I sealed the rooms one by one but I truly couldn’t be more pleased!

Does what is says on the tin, clears those horrible fleas, and does not have a strong smell

This definitely works although depending on the size of your place & any furniture etc that needs treating you might need a second can (I am getting an emergency can just to keep on hand for the future). I don’t have pets but bought fleas in from my garden (first time ever having fleas in the house!).The spray effectively kills live fleas but cannot penetrate the eggs that may be in your carpet etc, so it’s important to keep hoovering daily (& emptying the hoover each time) as this vibration stimulates the eggs to hatch which brings them into contact with the carpet/spray & kills them. This regular hoovering is esp important if you don’t have pets or lots of foot traffic which would otherwise cause the eggs to hatch. Wear long socks with trousers tucked in so you don’t get bitten while hoovering as newly hatched fleas can get one last bite in before they die! As the days go by you can reduce the hoovering to every 2-3 or 3-4 days.Doesn’t smell bad but you should wear a mask while spraying & vacate the room for at least 30 mins then ventilate well on returning.I have read that you need 14 bite free days to know you have def beaten the cycle of flea - bite - eggs - flea - bite. I am relieved to say I have now passed this point.

I have used Indorex for years now. At first I used it after a terrible flea season during which time we had 2 dogs and 3 cats. We seemed to be living in a flea infested hovel. The dogs, cats and humans were all itchy and incredibly grouchy and the fleas were obviously having the house party from heaven. Once I'd washed all the bedding, vacuumed everywhere and wiped the entire house down I sprayed this on everything. It worked impressively well and is so simple to use that I reckon my dog could have used it if all the humans had been eaten by mutant fleas.We use it as a preventative now by spraying twice to three times a year on all the soft furnishings, pet and human beds.. Our pets have no problem with it and as long as you stick to the instructions you won't choke to death.- Harmful by inhalation - Don't spray for too long otherwise you'll be seeing stars or those cute birdies from the cartoons.- Irritating to skin - So are fleas and dust mites, but just in case don't use this as a deodorant.- Extremely flammable - No flamethrower usage whilst spraying. As tempting as this might be, hold off til you're finished.- Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness - This is not a sleep aid.- Keep out of the reach of children - Unless you really don't like children.There are more warnings, but I inhaled too much spray and I am too dizzy to read them.
