I’ve just google hawkers duramitex to see if you can still get it,hawkers still make a alternative product,they say it kills mites etc as good as the old stuff but the protection only last 12 weeks were as the old stuff gave 18 months protection in lofts,the old stuff was a organophosphate that’s why it was so affective. 1 Quote Link to post

jayjay 264 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 to get on top of the flea problem, you need to break the cycle of the flea and as been said treat them all at the same time with a good bath in flea shampoo and treat the bedding and kennel sleeping area with a good quality spray or other pesticide, obviously one that is safe for your dogs and just keep using preventative measures like flea collars or a spot on solution to try and prevent re -infestation, apparently the worming of your dogs can also have an effect on the flea cycle...... all the best, jay 3 Quote Link to post

He doesn’t plaster the kennels in it it’s only in the nooks and crannies and only a small amount out of a sprayer. Quote Link to post
