FAQs

I have a fish tank which is too heavy to move. What should I do?

If the tank has a pump, switch it off. Cover the tank completely with two thick blankets or cling
film to prevent any sprayed mist reaching the water. When spraying Indorex Defence in the room,
ensure that the nozzle is pointing downwards and away from the tank. After half an hour, ventilate the room for at least an hour. It will then be safe to remove the blankets and switch the pump back on.
I used Indorex Defence a few days ago and there are still fleas jumping around!
Flea pupae are unaffected by any insecticide flea spray. These pupae can survive in the house for
over 12 months but do hatch in response to vibration, especially in warm humid weather. These newly hatched fleas will be killed within 24 hours by Indorex Defence for up to 2 months after application. The hatching process can be accelerated with warmth and vibration by:
- Allowing your pet to roam around your home
- Turning up the heating
- Thorough vacuum cleaning for 7 consecutive days, as the movement and vibration encourages the pupae to hatch, which are then removed by the vacuum cleaner
I'm asthmatic - what should I do?

The product itself represents no particular danger but the propellant is carbon dioxide and increased levels of this gas can be associated with asthma attacks. Consult your doctor and preferably get someone else to spray for you. Ventilate rooms well before returning.
Is it safe for my baby (crawling on the floor) after spraying?

Yes - Indorex Defence has been approved for amateur domestic use. Once dry (allow around an hour), Indorex Defence binds to all surfaces in such a way that it will not come off onto the skin.
Is it safe to use if I'm pregnant?

Yes, however, sensible precautions such as avoiding inhaling fumes and washing hands after use is advised.
What about human bedding?

There is no need to spray human bedding as flea eggs and larvae cannot penetrate through the fibres of mattresses. Washing bedding and mattress protectors on a hot wash and correctly treating the room will be suffi cient. Vacuuming the mattress will remove any eggs, larvae and pupae.
What coverage does 1 can provide?

1 can is sufficient to treat a 3-4 bedroom home.
When can I start hoovering after spraying?

After spraying, allow the product to settle for 30 minutes before well ventilating the area for at least an hour. The product will be fully dried and you are able to start hoovering. We recommend hoovering once a day for the first 7 days to help create vibrations in the environment to encourage the pupae stage to hatch into newly hatched fleas and be exposed to the Indorex spray.
