This powerful, long-lasting solution is scientifically formulated to provide effective flea control for your entire living space. With a generous 600ml can, it's designed to treat an average-sized house, effectively eliminating adult fleas and preventing the development of their immature stages for up to 6 months. It's an essential tool in breaking the flea life cycle and creating a flea-free environment for your pets and family.
Understanding the Flea Life Cycle: Why Household Treatment is Crucial
Did you know that only a small percentage of fleas actually live on your pet? The vast majority (around 95%) of a flea infestation exists as eggs, larvae, and pupae hidden within your home environment.
- Eggs: Flea eggs are laid on your pet but quickly fall off into carpets, bedding, cracks in flooring, and soft furnishings.
- Larvae: These hatch from eggs and burrow deep into carpets and upholstery, feeding on organic debris, including adult flea faeces ("flea dirt").
- Pupae: Larvae then spin cocoons to become pupae, the most resilient stage. These pupae can lie dormant for many months, even up to a year, waiting for ideal conditions (like warmth and vibrations from pets or people) to hatch into adult fleas. This is why you can have a re-infestation even after seemingly clearing fleas – the dormant pupae are simply waiting to emerge.
Johnson's 4Fleas Household Spray targets these hidden stages, not just the adult fleas you see, making it a comprehensive and effective solution for long-term control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1: How does Johnson's 4Fleas Household Spray work? A1: It uses a dual-action formula. Permethrin kills adult fleas on contact, while the Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) S-Methoprene prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing into biting adults, effectively breaking the flea life cycle.
Q2: How long does the spray last? A2: When applied as directed, the Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) component can provide up to 6 months of protection against developing flea stages (eggs, larvae) in treated areas. The adulticidal effect is immediate upon application.
Q3: What surfaces can I use this spray on? A3: This spray is suitable for use on carpets, rugs, pet bedding (after washing at a high temperature), upholstered furniture, and cracks in flooring. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to check for colourfastness, especially on delicate fabrics. Do not use on pets themselves.
Q4: Is the spray safe for my pets and children? A4: Once the treated areas are completely dry, the spray is generally safe for pets and children to re-enter. It is crucial to ensure good ventilation during and after application, and keep pets and children out of the treated area until it is fully dry. Always read and follow all safety instructions on the product label.
Q5: How often should I apply Johnson's 4Fleas Household Spray? A5: Due to its long-lasting action against developing flea stages (up to 6 months), a single thorough application is usually sufficient for a half-year's environmental control. For ongoing flea prevention, it is recommended to apply every 6 months. Regular treatment of your pet is also vital to prevent new fleas from being brought into the home.
Q6: Why is it important to treat my home, not just my pet? A6: The majority (about 95%) of a flea infestation exists as eggs, larvae, and dormant pupae in your home environment (carpets, bedding, etc.), not on your pet. Treating the home is essential to break the flea life cycle and prevent recurring infestations.
Q7: Can I use this spray directly on my pet? A7: No, this product is designed for household use only and should NEVER be applied directly to pets. Always use a veterinary-approved flea treatment specifically formulated for use on animals to treat your pet.
Although not indicated on the packaging, we advise careful use of this product in homes with cats, as the active ingredient is Permethrin which can be very dangerous for felines. Always ensure the room is aired and dry before allowing your cat back in to it.
