Experience with fleas can differ from person to person. Some may have very bad infestations and others could be able to nip the issue in the bud early on.

If you are worried about these issues, opt for a treatment that doesn’t contain the ingredient, but when used safely and following strict guidelines, it shouldn’t have a negative effect on animals. Always air a room fully after application. Natural vs Synthetic flea treatments – which is best? There is one thing you need to remember when using this spray though. The product formula contains some toxic elements. Hence, you need to thoroughly air the room for at least 2 hours after use to avoid dizziness, allergies, or other unpleasant sensations and side effects. Note: While we’re on the subject of toxicity, we’d like to talk about topical flea medications for a moment. Topical flea meds containing high dosages of permethrin are hazardous and potentially fatal to cats. Never give a cat a flea medication formulated for dogs. Some flea sprays also contain permethrin, although the concentration is usually much lower. If you use permethrin spray, read the label to make sure it’s safe for the type of pet you have.

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.

But, Kathleen Pohl, veterinary surgeon at My Family Vets told The Independent that “some pets tolerate large numbers of fleas before showing signs of irritation”, meaning there can be a big infestation before you are aware of the problem. This is why “prevention can be easier and more effective than treating an outbreak”, she says. When you are facing quite a serious infestation and the only way forward is to spray the entire room from top to bottom, a flea fogger may be the best option so you’re not standing manually spraying for ages. Flea spray is an essential item for any pet lover whose dog or cat spends a lot of time outdoors and lives in an area that’s highly susceptible to fleas. However, flea spray alone may not be enough to keep your furry friend safe. Here are some other steps our team recommends you can take to prevent and get rid of fleas.

For example, the fine print might tell you the spray is suitable for water-safe fabrics only. This wording implies that the spray would stain a leather couch, since leather is not water safe. Home flea repellants should be used when you are sure or suspect there are fleas in your home, such as clues from your pet or if you are being bitten.

Results Time Frame Fleas are unpleasant for pets and humans and can, unfortunately, have a relatively long life cycle. Therefore, finding a product that really works is vital. Flea sprays are either made with synthetic chemicals or natural ingredients. Chemical-based sprays may give you pause if you’re using them on your pets or around your children. However, natural sprays may be more expensive and less effective. If you’re using a chemical-based spray, read its ingredients closely to see what it’s made with. Some chemicals, including imidacloprid, fipronil, permethrin, methoprene, and pyriproxyfen, are known to cause health problems for animals. Versatility

Key considerations

A bit of a rogue product on the list. Not a spray, bomb or fogger like the others, but rather a natural, electronic pet mimic (which is more sensible than it sounds). Lemon Spray - Lemon it is said, can be used in a lot of ways around the house, but aside from being a way to treat wasp stings, it’s also said to be an 'old wives' natural home remedy for fleas. To make this natural lemon remedy flea spray, slice a lemon thinly and add to a pint of water and bring to the boil. Let the citrus solution sit overnight and pour into a spray bottle. Then spray the citrus solution on the infested areas in your home – sofas, pet bedding, chairs etc. Do not soak, only dampen. It may make your home smell fresh and appealing but it is very unlikely to remove a flea infestation . There may be a grain of truth in this myth, as some of these plants such as Chrysanthemums are used in part in natural insecticides. However, how effective they actually are as flea repellents sat in pots on the patio or in the house is debatable. Note the expiration date on the bottle. Flea home spray loses effectiveness over time. The average shelf life spans a year, but this varies from product to product.
