How does it work?
Fossil Shield® is a unique silica based product, providing a residual protective coarse layer on targeted surfaces.
As the red mite crawl through, Fossil Shield® scratches the outer waxy shell, drying them out, controlling red mite populations in a physical way.
Depending on your treatment package, Fossil Shield® can last from around 40 weeks of age to the end of flock cycle, with any residue washed off at the end of the flock cycle and can be applied with three techniques.
