They can live in the environment for months so by spraying it stops them hatching and biting your cats only to die from frontline!
Most sprays give 12 months protection too

Thanks for the replies. At least I know that all 3 of them are obviously good then lol. Might go for the Indorex because of it killing dust mites as well as that might be quite handy for my asthma (will get OH to do the spraying lol).

We went with this one as o/h has eczema and we wanted to see if it made any difference.

I get Staykill for the fosterers, but I cannot say it is any better than the others as I do not know. Mind you If I thought I have killed a lady bird or spider I would be  :( Although I would not dare touch a spider.

I went for Acclaim last time I used it, in the blurb it says it covers 140 sq metres wheras the Indorex only covers 79 sq metres.  I was really worried about my asthma as I remember in the olden days that Nuvan Top stuff was seriously toxic but didn't have any problems at all.  An added bonus is that it kills spiders too, I keep finding their vile crumpled bodies evey few weeks  :evillaugh: Sorry to any spider lovers but I can't stand them, it took all my courage just to type the word and I manged it twice!

I used Indorex recently as well and it seems to have worked.  Apparently we had a few ladybirds wandering around as it killed them to  :doh:

That's what my mum used to get as well which is why I wasn't sure which one to get now lol. I got one from the vet at end of 2005 but I can't remember what it was called.

Planning to flea spray the house in the next week or so and I'm not sure which spray to buy. VetUK sell Staykill, Acclaim and Indorex. Does anyone have any advice on which one of these is best or are they all about equal?

Thanks!
