FAQs
How long does Virbac Indorex Defence protect my home?
It provides 12 months of protection against flea eggs, larvae, and house dust mites, and kills adult fleas for 2 months after application.
Does one can cover my entire home?
Yes, one can is typically sufficient to treat an average 3-4 bedroom home, covering all common areas where fleas might reside.
Is this product safe for my pets?
Indorex Defence is for household surfaces only. All pets, children, and food should be removed from the area during spraying, and not reintroduced until the treated surfaces are dry and the area is well-ventilated. It is not to be used directly on animals.
Can this spray be used for house dust mites too?
Yes, Virbac Indorex Defence is effective in killing house dust mites in addition to fleas.
How often should I apply Indorex Defence?
For continuous protection, it is recommended to apply the spray once every 12 months.
Do I still need to treat my pet for fleas?
Absolutely. Indorex Defence treats the home environment, but your pets are the primary source of flea infestations. For complete flea control, it's essential to use a regular, veterinarian-approved flea treatment on all pets in your household.
Troubleshooting
Continued flea activity after spraying
Ensure all pets in the household are treated with a suitable topical or oral flea preventative as Indorex Defence treats the home environment, not the animals themselves. Also, allow sufficient time (several weeks) for the flea life cycle to be fully disrupted, as existing pupae can be resistant to sprays and may hatch before being eliminated. Re-vacuum regularly.
Product does not seem to cover the stated area
Ensure the spray is applied evenly as a fine mist and not oversaturated in one spot. Hold the can at the recommended distance of approximately 50cm from the surface to maximize coverage. If your home is larger than average or has exceptionally heavy furnishings, more than one can may be required.
Lingering strong odor after application
Ensure adequate ventilation during and after application. Open windows and doors for at least an hour after spraying. The scent should dissipate as the product dries and the area is aired out. If the odor persists, continue ventilation and consider professional cleaning of fabrics after the product has had time to work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using Virbac Indorex Defence is straightforward. Before application, thoroughly vacuum all areas to be treated, paying close attention to cracks, crevices, and under furniture, then dispose of the vacuum bag immediately.

Hold the can approximately 50cm from the surface and spray evenly, ensuring a fine mist covers the area. Do not oversaturate.

Care
After spraying, allow treated areas to dry completely before reintroducing pets and people. Ventilate the treated rooms thoroughly by opening windows and doors for at least an hour after application. Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Do not puncture or incinerate the can, even when empty. Always follow the instructions and safety warnings on the product label.
