Our FLEE Pesticide Free Flea Spray is also a finalist in the Healthcare and Animal Grooming category.

Using FLEE as your environmental flea control product of choice means choosing a safe and effective treatment programme, with no resistance to the active ingredients. Resistance is not an issue because FLEE works by physically trapping, preventing development and killing the fleas, rather than chemically killing them. FLEE has been demonstrated to be effective for up to 9 weeks in the environment and has been recommended by leading Dermatologists3 as the product of choice for environmental flea control.

FLEE is exempt from the EU Biocides directive and is not considered a chemical pesticide. FLEE has the same physical mode of action as many modern human headlice treatments for children. 1 x 400ml canister is sufficient to treat an average size 3 bed house. An 8 second burst to treat approximately 1 square metre.

The awards reflect our buoyant and lively sector, recognising and rewarding the energy, achievement and innovation realised in the pet trade over the last year, and we look forward to the evening.
