Acclaim Household Flea Spray Can

Acclaim

Household Flea Spray

  • Acclaim is a long-lasting environmental household flea spray.  It contains two active ingredients; one to kill adult fleas and a second to prevent  existing eggs and larvae from developing into adult fleas for 12 months.

     Acclaim contains two active ingredients:

    • A fast-acting adulticide which kills any flea it comes into contact with for at least 6 weeks (Permethrin)
    • A long-lasting insect growth regulator, which controls the immature flea life–cycle stages and protects the home for a full 12 months (Methoprene)

    Now in a larger can for even more coverage!

    One can of Acclaim covers 175 m2, the largest area of any veterinary environmental flea treatment (the equivalent of an average four-bedroom house)

    Acclaim is also odour-free, leaving no lingering smell after spraying.  When used as directed Acclaim is safe  for your family, your home and your pets.

    Acclaim is licensed to kill house-dust mites, a common cause of allergy in pets.  The product also kills ants, cockroaches, ticks and spiders.

  • A Guide to using Acclaim

    • Remove all pets and children from the room being treated
    • Vacuum thoroughly
    • Close all windows and doors and spray all carpets, exposed floor boards, soft furnishings and cracks and crevices with a sweeping action holding the can at knee height
    • Leave the product (Acclaim) to settle for about 30 minutes before airing the room
    • Pets and children may return as soon as surfaces are dry to the touch, usually 30 mins

     

    After Care

    • Regular vacuuming will encourage maximum hatch of any dormant pupae and rapid control.  

    Hints and Tips

    • Fleas living under exposed floor boards can be  difficult to treat and hatching may be prolonged.  Try using a hairdryer directed into these cracks to encourage hatching.
    • When an infestation is established, adult fleas may be seen for some weeks following spraying. This is because the existing pupae must hatch before they can be killed, it is quite normal and the flea spray will still be working.
    • When the heating is turned up or an unused room is disturbed this can activate dormant fleas.
    • Human bedding and clothing does not need to be sprayed; a warm wash will kill eggs and larvae.
    • Remember to treat the whole house, the car and any outbuildings frequented by the pet.
    • Vacuum living areas before going to bed and bedroom areas in the morning. This will ensure rooms are vacant after vacuuming thus reducing the likelihood of fleas biting you!
