I'm reaching out here because I'm in a bit of a panic and really need some advice. I've been dealing with a pretty bad flea infestation lately, and it's driving me and my two cats crazy. I picked up some Neostomosan 5 ml to treat the fleas on them, but I've read conflicting things online about whether I can use it inside the house. I don’t want to make the situation worse by using it wrong or posing a risk to my cats or myself. Has anyone here used Neostomosan indoors before, and if so, how did it go? Any tips or precautions I should consider? I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing for my fur babies. Thanks, everyone!
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out with your question about Neostomosan. It's understandable to want a flea-free home and to ensure the safety of your pets and family while using treatments. Neostomosan is primarily designed for use on animals, such as dogs and cats, to control fleas and other parasites. It's important to note that products intended for animals may not be suitable for use in homes due to potential toxicity and residue issues that could affect both humans and pets.
If you're looking to manage flea infestations inside your home, it's often best to use products specifically labeled for indoor use. These are formulated to be safer for household environments. Vacuuming regularly and washing your pet’s bedding in hot water can also greatly help to reduce fleas.
Watch for signs in your pet or family members, such as skin irritation, coughing, or sneezing, which may indicate a reaction to chemical exposure. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should consult a professional immediately.
