Description

RIP fleas is a household insecticidal spray which kills adult fleas on contact. It also works against flea eggs and larvae, ticks and dust mites for 12 months. Immature stages are prevented from developing and so never become adults. This extended period of cover protects your house from future attacks for a whole season. RIP Fleas should be used to treat the environment, while a product such as Frontline Spot-On should be applied to your pets. If these measures are taken before fleas can become established, you should never have a flea problem. Contains Permethrin, Tetramethrin and S-Methoprene. One spray can contains 600ml and covers 120sqm.

R.I.P Fleas - Unique Triple Action, Fragrant Environmental Spray.

It's triple action formula works instantly to stop fleas and house dust mites and provide more than traditional environmental sprays.It's unique triple action formula works instantly to stop fleas because it has three active ingredients instead of the two provided by traditional environmental flea treatments. It is also useful in the control of house dust mites and ticks in the environment. As well as rapid results R.I.P Fleas also has the assurance of 12 months efficacy in the environment.

R.I.P Fleas contains:

Methoprene: a compound which mimics the insect juvenile hormone and disrupts the development of flea eggs and larvae in the environment, it is a well-proven Insect Growth Regulator. In real house studies methoprene has been shown to be a safe and effective way to control flea development for 12 months. Methoprene has the advantage of being highly fluid at room temperature allowing it to spread evenly and deeply into the carpet pile.

Permethrin: a potent insecticide with powerful contact action, it is light stable and was the first household synthetic pyrethroid insecticide authorised for the prevention of pests. It has a lethal effect on insects but due to it's chemical structure it has a low toxicity to most mammals and is ideal for the control and prevention of household insects.

Bioallethrin: although bioallethrin is a type 1 pyrethroid, it's effects on calcineurin resemble those of a type 2 pyrethroid. Unlike most type 1 pyrethroids, which are very weak, bioallethrin is a potent calcineurin inhibitor. Bioallethrin will therefore cause rapid paralysis allowing permethrin to kill the flea. Again the chemical structure means bioallethrin is very safe and well indicated for household use.

15 Did not find this to be very effective
Verified Purchase

I bought this spray to tackle any fleas living in the house as well as Frontline Plus to apply to the cats as it seemed to be the option to kill all stages of fleas on cats. All 3 cats were treated and the whole house was cleaned thoroughly + washed all soft furnishings and sprayed using Dechra RIP Fleas to ensure there were no fleas, eggs or larvae remaining in the environment. Even though I followed all the advice on how to wipe out fleas our cats were still scratching & we have seen live fleas still on them. Would not buy this product again as it cost me a lot of money but has not solved the problem!

Where to spray and contraindications

Rosie

  • VioVet customer since 2015
  • From: West Midlands, United Kingdom

Do we just spray all over floors or just round the edges of room?
Also is there any contraindications for asthmatics please?

  • VioVet Staff

It is advised to read the instructions on the product itself for how to administer safely and effectively. It needs to be used on any surface where fleas and larvae may be present.

Dechra advise the following regarding asthmatics:
R.I.P. Fleas Extra is an aerosol containing permethrin, tetramethrin, S-methoprene and fragrance. These ingredients have no known association with triggering asthma and there are no specific precautions advised for asthma sufferers on the label for R.I.P. Fleas Extra. However it may be advisable for another person to carry out the spraying if you suffer from severe asthma or if you have previously experienced problems with aerosol sprays or any of the ingredients. Immediately after spraying, open windows and ventilate the room for at least 1 hour. Make sure all spray mist has settled and all surfaces are dry before allowing any persons to re-enter the room. Read the label before use and adhere to the safety advice.

Baby

Kerry

Hi is this spray safe to use with a 12 month old and cats in the house?
Thank you

  • VioVet Staff

Kerry,

The advice from the manufacturer is to make sure the baby is not in the room during spraying and the room is well ventilated.  The baby should be kept out of the room for at least 1 hour and only returned once mist has visibly gone and all surfaces are dry.

Is it possible to spray our bedding with this as well as the cats as they do love to lie on our bed?
