There's a lot of information out there regarding fleas and ticks—unfortunately, not all of it is accurate. Fleas and ticks can bring about a number of health issues in your pet.

I actually don't care much for sprays, in general - there are much better options for flea/tick control in dogs. My favorites are oral medications like Nexgard or Bravecto, but a Seresto collar or topical medication like K9 Advantix can also work well. If you really want to use a spray, I would suggest Frontline spray - it isn't always terribly effective for fleas, in my experience, but works well for ticks and should be safe. Many of the other over-the-counter sprays contain very harsh chemicals that can be dangerous, so I don't usually recommend them unless you have no other choices.

Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. Flea products: Spot-ons: Advantage, Advantix (works against ticks also) Advantage Multi (Advocate in the UK) Frontline (ticks as well) Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats, in tablet form for dogs Revolution (stronghold in the UK) Tablets: comfortis (will only

Yes, you can use Indorex or Knockout Spray ES. Both are made by Virbac and are essentially the same product. I think Knockout Spray is the US version and Indorex is the UK/Australia version. Either one is fine and I believe are the best. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

There are three things you need to do to combat fleas: 1. Treat ALL animals in the house with flea prevention monthly. Even cats and even if they don't go outside. Baths, sprays and collars (with the exception of the Seresto collar) are only temporary fixes. You need to use a prescription strength oral or topical prevention that you get from your vet. You can also get these products at your local Petco when they have their weekend VETCO clinics (a vet will be on site). Here is a link to their site and locations in your area. You need to bring your pet(s) with you to the clinic. I suggest you arrive at least 30 minutes early before the start of the clinic to get in line. This will be your least expensive option. ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=91744 ) 2. Treat the house environment. This is the only product that I recommend for indoors: Knockout Spray E.S. You should re-treat the home every 6 months. ( https://www.chewy.

I do not recommend any flea or tick shampoos, these are usually not safe products and not as long lasting as more modern preventive treatment for fleas and ticks. here is the list of the best flea products on the market.
