Works!
Found an errant flea, washed everything I could and then sprayed with this, haven’t seen another fle since, that was 3 months ago. It’s very thick when first sprayed, I wore a mask and opened windows, but I think that disapated much quicker than other brands. Would use again.

These product is pure genius.
I do however, want to share an experience unimaginable to me. I sprayed each bedroom closed the doors and went back after a few hours to vent. Open the kids room doors and lastly mine. As I opened my door all I could hear was buzzing, then I get the shock of my life. Dead flies everywhere… Some still going insane clearly holding on for dear life (my cat was happy chasing these ones) to my surprise in my ensuite shower the layer of dead flies was insane.. I must of had a nest of them in my vent…. So praise the lord this spray is that strong (didn’t even spray my bathroom) that it killed all insects entering my room! I can safely say I’m 100% sure there’s no fleas left now!
Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round, and let me regale you with the epic tale of my battle against the nefarious fleas, starring the one and only Acclaim Household Flea Spray!
So there I was, locked in mortal combat with these tiny, jumping ninjas. It was me or them, and I had Acclaim by my side. Armed with my trusty can of Acclaim, I felt like a fearless flea-fighting warrior, ready to defend my kingdom (a.k.a. my home) against these blood-sucking invaders.
I aimed the can at the little critters and sprayed with a flourish, yelling, “Begone, foul creatures!” In response, the fleas either died or retreated, probably to form a flea council to discuss their vanquisher — yours truly.
The best part? Acclaim didn’t just kill the fleas; it stopped them from coming back. It’s like they slapped a “No Vacancy” sign on my house, and the fleas got the message — no room at the inn for you!
But wait, it gets even better. Acclaim is like a superhero with a secret identity — it works on ticks, bedbugs, and even lice! It’s a one-size-fits-all solution for the insect world. I half expected it to come with a tiny cape.
In conclusion, if you ever find yourself in an epic battle against fleas (or any of their pesky pals), call on Acclaim Household Flea Spray. It’s the knight in shining armor your home deserves, and it even makes for a great story to entertain your friends with. Who knew pest control could be so theatrical?
I swear by this. I always have a can to hand. If i get a new house i always use this as you just dont know who has been in before you. My daughter managed to get fleas in her house from a friend visiting. I used this after hoovering and within 2-3 weeks they were all gone. Yes you do see the odd one after spraying and that is because eggs hatch however after a short period of time they die. And after a full 3 weeks from spraying they are all dead and gone. This stuff then lasts forever. I honestly swear by it.
This is one of only 2 brands that have actually worked in my house. Fleas were a major problem for me this year and I used this along with advantage flea treatment on my animals and fleas were massively reduced the 1st time and then I repeated a month later and now I’m flea free !
I’m hoping we are now a flea free house. Used this to spray everywhere the dog had been. Seems to have done the trick. Make sure the space is well ventilated as it’s strong stuff.
My parents have been using this for years , they spray along edges of the rooms. Not for fleas though , to keep the spiders out. I bought some and it ACTUALLY works! Great for using September when the big boys love to venture in.
If you’ve ever had fleas in your house it is reminiscent of the classic song Last Resort by Papa Roach (with a few tweaks in CAPS).
“…..Do you even care if IT dies bleeding?
Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I KILLED A FLEA tonight?
Chances are that I might.
MULTIPLICATION out of sight
And I’m contemplating PESTICIDE.
‘Cause I’m losing my sight, losing my mind.
Wish somebody would tell me I’m fine….”.
Besides making me change lyrics to songs, Acclaim spray is excellent, and I highly recommend it.
Barely any scent but works a treat!
Like most folks here, cat had a flea problem. I’d hoovered every day for weeks but the little a***h***s were jumping on me every time I stuck a bare/sock-ed foot on my bedroom carpet. Naturally, I went and tried other products that didn’t seem to be doing anything, but this stuff has been an absolute godsend! It doesn’t really smell of anything and as far as I can tell, absolutely obliterates the little b-words! No more fleas in the carpet! Found one flea in my whole house since I started using this stuff once every few days hoovering every day and it’s been a few weeks. I now use it once a week in every room and apart from the rogue one, there’s been no more! So I would call that a success
Needed a flea spray for the house and done a quick search online and found that this is one of the top rated off the shelf spray’s you can get. The reviews on Amazon from people who have purchased this seemed to confirm it’s good so I got a can, the transaction was simple and delivery was quick,
I found this product worked very well, I was a bit silly and expected it to be as great as what the reviews said. It kind of isn’t. I will try to explain, for an off the shelf spray it is very very good but you do have to use regularly and spray plenty which isn’t too bad as the price is very good but if your looking for a quicker result with less effort you need to pay more and get a spray from the vets
If you like me are happy to spray the house every time you vacuum the floor’s you won’t be disappointed as the number of flea’s reduce greatly.
Just a quick add, it may take a couple of spray’s to see a reduction in flea’s to start with as according to my vet this year is a very good year for flea’s and they are in high numbers
After buying “pet friendly” flea spray and carpet flea powder that just didn’t seem to work I finally found this. And I finally found something that works. Ok, so I still have to spray every day, sometimes in the morning and evening, including between the bedsheets and under the beds, but I can see (by the reduced amount of bites on my legs) and through vacuuming that I’m getting the little pests. I’m still spraying and vacuuming for the hatching eggs, but I think I can safely say that I don’t have an infestation anymore.
Apart from the vacuuming twice daily (morning and evening just before bed), I also wash the dog’s blankets every second day with bleach at 90 Degrees, with a good rinse and use a “shock” flea comb on both cat and dog. They usually have very few if any fleas.
If you are going to use a room soon after spraying, make sure to open a window to let fresh air in.
Works well as part of a strategy
Only giving this a four rather than five because I was using a variety of approaches to an ongoing flea problem at the same time. Both our cats had/have fleas and aside from the discomfort caused to them, they were causing big problems for me as I seem to have a severe reaction to flea bites. Although I hardly ever saw a flea my legs were covered in unbelievably itchy bites which soon turned into nasty sores. I used Acclaim in every room of our 3 bed house and within a week things improved drastically. I was also using flea traps (a lamp over a bowl of soapy water) which caught a lot of the adult fleas and giving the cats flea tablets. Eventually this 3 prong approach along with frequent hoovering seems to have worked. The cats still have fleas but the house seems to be pretty much clear of them – fingers crossed. Half the battle is dealing with the eggs laid in the house and Acclaim seems to have been very effective in that regard.
Brilliant 12 month flea etc. kille
Bought this last year from vet at more than double this price. Vet said it was only thing that truly killed fleas etc. plus any eggs so they would not hatch. We had a stray cat adopt us and she had been bitten by a flea and her back had become full of scabs. Vet said it only needed one bite as she was obviously allergic. This spray can did our living room carpet and three piece suite PLUS big caravan carpet, all cushions plus mattress and large cushions for outdoor chairs. Also I noticed on one site we had ants and they did not come onto our chairs at all (unlike our neighbour), so with the last of the can I sprayed all around the doorway (on the plastic threshold) and the door mat. We never saw an ant inside once and others on field were purchasing ant killer stuff to try and get rid of them.
It lasts for 12 months, so will use this next April and spray all again. P.S. a fly flew into van and dropped onto seat and keeled over, never saw any more of them either.
You need to understand the flea cycle to completely rid fleas – the eggs scatched off your cat are 80 per cent of the trouble – not the flea itself. Our cat rarely goes out and this last summer was not treated with Frontline as usual due to her skin being sensitive. Wow! She started in Otober to pull her fur out and scratching like mad – on checking flea dirt was found. Frontline applied immediately – and did job FOR THE CAT! Worst fear was the eggs laying in her coat – and she had been up in daughters bedroom!Literally HUNDREDS of the flea eggs were removed from her bedding area daily – the entire area where she had been sprayed with ACCLAIM – including the shelves and drawers where she sat. Knowing flea eggs can lay dormant in carpets & furnishings for up to a YEAR I knew thorough treatment was essential. I would recommend you thoroughly VAC entire area where cat spends most time. Spray ACCLAIM and leave room closed off – the longer the better If this can be done for days – all the better. get rid of vacuum bag immediately AS EGGS HATCH OUT IN SOMEWHERE NICE & DARK AND WARM AND IF THEY CANNOT FIND YOUR CAT WILL FEED OFF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. Remember edges of carpets crevises and skirtting boards – In infancy stage the fleas will live off the flea dirt mother has left behind – you will see dried blood particles same size as the eggs – if you gather up from bedding (we use large old towels) and shake onto a hard surface you will find the eggs & flea dirt come out together – often described as salt and pepper appearance – wipe up with damp tissue you will see the ‘pepper’ part turn red – this is dried blood excreted from flea. The flea’s are easier to rid – the flea eggs are what you need to worry about. I always use ACCLAIM as it really goes a LONG WAY, LASTS FOR WEEKS AND DOES WHAT IT SAYS ACCLAIM SIZE 400ML EXCELLENT VALUE FOR THE JOB. keep one SPARE IT WON’T LET YOU DOWN. BEST PRODUCT ON MARKET I WOULD SAY WITHOUT DOUBT & COVERS HUGE AREA.
If you have a flea problem and you’re not someone who insists on organic products, BUY THIS TODAY.
I don’t usually complain and can put up with hardship but lately I’ve been having an awful time of it, as I don’t have any pets, but a stray cat got in my house while I was emptying my car of shopping – didn’t notice until I’d finished and by that point he’d run around the whole place, jumping on everything. I herded him out, and thought nothing of it until a couple of days later I was sitting on my couch and saw a flea sitting on my arm. I squashed it (yes, it is possible with enough determination!!), and thought that was that. Nope. Next day, there they were, on my jeans, one or two on my arm. I tried hoovering everything, and bought a can of Bob Martin from the supermarket. Compressed air would have been more effective. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THAT STUFF! At this point, I went on to Amazon and ordered this product, but it was over a weekend by the time I knew about it, and I was on the verge of breaking down – I’d had so many bites on my feet and ankles, and I don’t take well to them, they were (still are) VERY sore and raw, but healing now, thankfully.
Over the weekend, due to my hours of internet research, I purchased cedarwood, lemon, pine and rosemary essential oils, which apparently kill on contact and act as deterrents. Not to these ones, they don’t. Again, they made no difference. So, over the weekend I confined myself to my bedroom (a few had made it to the carpets outside my room, but not toooo badly affected), my bathroom, and I carried as much to drink from the kitchen as I could, so that I could avoid the rigmarole of checking myself over for them as much as possible. Every time I made the trip, I’d have at least 1 on my legs.
So, Monday morning came by, and I planned in my head exactly how to do this. In case it’s of any help to any of you, here is what I did:
1 – grab all clothes and anything I may need both for work and afterwards, take it all to the bathroom, and get myself showered. I didn’t put on my socks or trousers, as I wanted to be as sure as possible NONE of the little gits survived. I went downstairs to the kitchen, squished the ones that had jumped on me, and got dressed completely. The kitchen has vinyl flooring, and fleas don’t stay on that. Thankfully.
2 – I left for work, and walked back to the kitchen immediately after grabbing the spray from my mail (I knew it would be delivered today, as it had been posted on Friday evening by the seller). I got changed (nothing had got on my in the mad dash to the kitchen!), put on shoes and put carrier bags over my feet and ankles, secured with parcel tape, and sprayed with Acclaim (including the next few inches of exposed jeans). Yes, it says don’t use on clothing, but I noticed no adverse effects at all. Plus, as I said, I wanted to be sure nothing survived! I also diluted the lemon oil and covered my hands and forearms to deter them from jumping on me as I sprayed.
3 – I sprayed the house very liberally with this stuff. I turned over all cushions that I could, sprayed into the corners, made sure that I got it right under the couches and units, got the curtains, and corners/edges of the rooms. My stairs are carpeted, so I ensured I sprayed all the risers as well as the steps, and worked my way round the house. I even sprayed my bed and pillows (again, it says not to use on bedding, but I haven’t noticed any ill effects here either). I then went back to the kitchen, removed the bags from my feet, and went out, making sure I still had the can (3 bedroom end terrace, and still had 1/4 can left). On returning from the shops, I gave my car a 2 second spray, in case any had hitched a ride.
4 – Next day, I was again very careful with my anti-flea regime (although on all my checks, I saw only one the whole day), and on returning from work I hoovered the place top to bottom. Edges, stairs (including risers), pillows, cushions, the lot. It took some time, but that’s ok. Again, I sprayed my shoes and bottoms of my jeans with Acclaim – still nothing bad that I’ve noticed.
5 – I’d bought 2 cans, so I sprayed the worst areas again. I’m only a very tiny amount into the 2nd can after 1 VERY thorough covering, and one respray.
End result? I was so warm last night after all this, so I bit the bullet and put on shorts. I didn’t want any trapped in my socks, so I was defenseless from the knees down. I spent the evening in my living room, after banishing myself from it for 2 days, and I didn’t see another living soul. Thankfully, with my not having pets, and the fact that fleas cannot reproduce without their named host’s blood (ie cat fleas must have cat blood to lay eggs), I shouldn’t experience another outbreak. But even if I do, Acclaim states that the protection from hatching eggs lasts several months. So, I should be all good, but I’m keeping the can to hand for the next 2-4 weeks, and at the first sign, I’ll spray once more. Thanks to this spray, I feel like I can relax in my own home again. So, the title of this review goes to the manufacturers, as I’m not endlessly scratching, having to look at my feet and ankles every 10 seconds, and the bites that I have suffered are now healing.
A month a go we had a sudden infestation of flees.
I bought both Indorex and Acclaim products.
To be fair I have no idea if one of them was more effective than the other. However both have similar ingredients so it’s a toss between the two of them…
I’m leaning in favour of Acclaim simply because the cans last longer. I’m not entirely certain why this is the case as both claim to be 500ml cans, and both seemed to spray at the same rate.
In total I bought 2x Indorex, and 2x Acclaim.
The 2 Indorex cans bairly did the house once. I’ve been over the house about 3 times with the Acclaim and still have 1/2 a can left. My gut feeling is in spite of what it said on the labels the Acclaim cans had significantly more in them to start with.
One thing to note in either case.
These products do not kill the eggs. So what happens is that first of all it kills all flee’s that you can see and for a week or so you feel like the war is over. However then the eggs hatch. Now both products claim to protect the house for 12 months so theoretically should have killed this second bunch without a respraying. Personally I wasn’t going to take any chances so I did a second spraying as soon as I saw more flees, and then a 3rd spraying a week after just to be doubly sure.
A month on and I’ve seen no more fleas 🙂
