Treating fleas in house. Indorex v "natural" (non chemical) methods

[AnotherEmma]

So, cats had fleas. Definitely our fault for not keeping on top of regular spot on treatment. Have remedied it by treating them, setting reminder on phone to do it monthly, and stocking up on treatment. (Am using stronghold
plus from vet but v expensive so will alternative with Advantage, that's worked for us in the past when we did it regularly.)

The issue is getting rid of fleas in the house. Vet recommended Indorex. The thing is that my DH has an obsession a strong preference for avoiding harmful chemicals in our home, and prefers to use natural products for everything from toiletries to household cleaning products. We have young children which is also a factor in this obsession preference. He is predictably not keen to spray everywhere with Indorex. He thinks it should be sufficient to clean thoroughly and regularly (vacuuming everywhere, washing blankets and bedding, etc) plus obviously treating the cats regularly. I am torn as I can see DH's pov but am also worried about ongoing flea infestation which is obviously not pleasant.

So, cat experts of The Litter Tray, what do you say? Have you managed to ward off fleas without Indorex and with thorough cleaning
only? Or are we just fighting a losing battle?!

No she's fine now, her skin reaction healed very quickly after the first flea treatment.

We treated them with Stronghold Plus (from vet) and have done so twice so far (ie when we first realised about the infestation, and then a month later).

We weren't bitten for a while and then occasionally get one or two more bites; it's clearly cyclical with the eggs/cocoons hatching or whatever. We occasionally find tiny fleas (not adult ones). So the issue is the eggs/cocoons in the house, not fleas on the cats.

Indorex will solve your eggs/cocoons issue! Honestly just use it your husband won't know and if you follow the instructions and vac regularly after your problem will be solved

I'd have had a breakdown by now and done it behind his back I'm afraid. Indorex really worked for us

Christ, just use indorex and tell your husband to get over it. This is ridiculous.

I paid £120 for a flea exterminator that sprayed the whole house. That was months after trying Indorex and other sprays. Best £120 ever spent.

Just do it, if he can make unilateral decisions so can you.

Your kids have flea bites, it’s not normal.
