Manufacturer: Mavlab Pty Ltd
Registered Name Fido's Flea Bomb Insecticidal Fogger with Insect Growth Regulator (IGR)
Composition Permethrin 5 g/kg, methoprene 1.5 g/kg.
Actions Fido's Flea Bomb covers 50 m2 and gives up to nine months residual protection. The low level of permethrin kills most adult fleas present at the time of treatment, and lasts up to seven days killing any adult fleas emerging from the last generations of flea pupae. Methoprene is an insect growth regulator which prevents the development of flea larvae into adult insects.
Indications Control of animal fleas in domestic and commercial premises for up to nine months.
Contraindications Administration to animals. Outdoor use; ultraviolet light can inactivate the product. Administration in areas where mist cannot be contained within the premises.
Warnings Highly flammable. Store in a cool place out of the sun.
Do not spray directly onto humans or pets, exposed food or food utensils. Avoid contact with food.
Precautions Do not spray directly on humans or pets and ensure fish tanks are covered. Remove or cover all exposed food, food utensils and food preparation surfaces before use. Vacate the room immediately the spray commences. Do not re-enter before two hours and then allow to air for 30 minutes. Thoroughly wipe down all food preparation areas on re-entry.
Safety directions. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale vapour or spray mist.
Do not deliberately sniff this product. Sniffing may cause harm or death.
First aid. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126. If sprayed on skin wash thoroughly. If sprayed in mouth rinse mouth with water.
Disposal. Do not incinerate or puncture the container, even when empty. Dispose of used container by wrapping in paper and placing in an industrial or domestic waste bin.
Directions for use A 125 g can treats 50 m2.
Room preparation. Vacuum all areas before treatment and don't vacuum for five days afterwards. If wishing to shampoo your carpets during the year, do it in the winter months as shampooing removes the methoprene. Open all cupboards, drawers, etc. Remove or cover all exposed food utensils. Remove plants and pets, pet bowls and birds. Cover and turn off fish tanks. Close windows and doors. Shut off all electrical appliances including lights, refrigerators, fans and air conditioners and put out any pilot flames and naked flames. Shut off gas to gas hot water heaters.
Do not use in areas smaller than a walk-in closet (2 x 2 metres).
Treatment. Shake can well before use. Place can on newspaper, on a raised area such as a table or chair. Stand at arms length and point can away from face and press down activator tab until it locks into place. When more than one can is used, place them evenly around treatment premises.
Vacate the premises and leave undisturbed for at least two hours, then open all doors and windows and allow to air for 30 minutes. Do not switch on electrical/gas appliances or smoke before airing is completed.
For the most effective treatment, use in September and January or at intervals of nine months.
One can covers approximately two average rooms. Four cans will be needed for the average sized home, and six cans or more will be needed for large and high-set homes. For most effective results the entire house should be treated. Repeat treatment after nine months or when fleas start re-emerging.
For best results it is recommended that all pets be treated with a suitable insecticide before entering treated premises. Pets should not be excluded from the home after using the bomb as hatching or dying fleas will attack people instead.
Concrete surfaces will render both permethrin and methoprene inactive. Regular sweeping and washing of these surfaces to control fleas is recommended.
Since the permethrin (adulticide) does not spread over as large an area as the methoprene (insect growth regulator), some adults and emerging adults may exist for some weeks after treatment. Further treatment with an adulticide spray such as Fido's Fre-Itch Quick-Dry Insecticidal Spray is recommended for the quickest and most effective treatment.
