Stop bugs at every stage with triple-action UK protection.
Vital Guard is a professional-grade, water-based insecticide made in Britain and approved by the UK's Health and Safety Executive (HSE No. 10803-GB). One trigger. Three active ingredients. Kills adults on contact, breaks the lifecycle, and stops the reinfestation most single-active sprays leave behind.

Most sprays kill what they hit. Ours breaks the whole cycle.
Single-active sprays kill the adults you can see but leave eggs and juveniles behind — which is why infestations bounce back two weeks later. Vital Guard's triple-action formula solves that.
Fast knockdown
Chrysanthemum extract (natural pyrethrum) drops flying and crawling insects on contact. You see results in seconds, not hours.
Lasting residual kill
0.1% cypermethrin holds on treated surfaces to keep killing insects that walk across long after you spray. Ideal for cracks, skirting and bed frames.
Lifecycle breaker
0.01% pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator. Eggs and nymphs can't develop into breeding adults — so the population collapses instead of bouncing back.
Vital Guard Bed Bug Killer+
A UK-made, professional-grade bed bug spray that goes beyond a knockdown. Triple-action formula kills bed bugs on contact, keeps killing on treated surfaces for weeks, and uses an insect growth regulator to stop eggs and nymphs from reaching breeding age. Water-based, non-staining, safe to use on mattresses, bed frames, headboards, carpets and skirting boards.
- Kills adult bed bugs on contact
- Kills eggs & stops nymphs
- Weeks of residual protection
- Safe on mattresses & carpets
- Water-based, non-staining
- Low odour, no fire risk

500 ML · Trigger Spray
Three active ingredients. One trigger.
Every 1ml of Vital Guard contains three specialists working on different jobs — that's what "triple-action" actually means, and it's why the population doesn't come back a fortnight later.
Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium extract
A plant-derived pyrethrum from Tanacetum cinerariifolium flowers, obtained by supercritical CO₂ extraction. Attacks the insect nervous system on contact — the reason you see fast knockdown seconds after spraying.
Cypermethrin
A synthetic pyrethroid trusted by professional pest controllers across the UK. Binds to treated surfaces, so insects that walk across skirting boards, cracks or bed frames continue to be killed for weeks after application.
Pyriproxyfen
An IGR that mimics juvenile hormone. Eggs and nymphs exposed to it cannot moult into breeding adults — the reproductive chain is cut. This is the difference between "kills what I can see" and "ends the infestation".
Ready to use, straight from the bottle.
No dilution, no mixing, no protective kit beyond common-sense care. One trigger pull is about 1ml of product.
Shake well
Give the bottle a firm shake before each use to keep the actives evenly suspended.
Space treatment
For flying insects, apply as a fine mist at 1ml per m³ (roughly one trigger per cubic metre).
Surface spray
For crawling insects, apply 20ml per m², slightly wetting the surfaces you want to protect.
Do not touch until dry
Let treated surfaces dry fully. Repeat as needed. Keep children and pets away during application.
What Vital Guard kills
One triple-action formula. Broad-spectrum control across the pests UK households actually deal with.
Why the £10 shelf isn't the same shelf.
Most UK insect sprays rely on a single active ingredient. Here's how Vital Guard's triple-action formula compares to what you'll find on Amazon and in supermarkets.
| Feature | Vital Guard | Typical bed-bug spray | Supermarket bug spray |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active ingredients | 3 (cypermethrin + pyriproxyfen + pyrethrum) | 1 (cypermethrin only) | 1 (often permethrin only) |
| Kills eggs & nymphs | Yes — IGR breaks lifecycle | No — adults only | No |
| Residual protection | Weeks on treated surfaces | Yes | Short-lived |
| HSE approved (UK) | Yes — No. 10803-GB | Usually | Sometimes |
| Made in UK | Yes | Varies | Usually not |
| Water-based, non-staining | Yes | Usually | Aerosol solvents |
| Fire risk | None | None | Flammable aerosol |
| Amateur + professional use | Both | Both | Amateur only |
Vital Guard, questions people actually ask.
Short, useful answers. Anything else, message us on the contact page.
Is Vital Guard HSE approved for UK use?+
Yes. Vital Guard is approved by the UK Health and Safety Executive under HSE No. 10803-GB, for both amateur and professional use. Users must comply with the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986 (as amended), and follow the label instructions.
What does "triple-action" actually mean?+
Three different active ingredients doing three different jobs in one bottle. Chrysanthemum extract (0.05%) delivers fast contact knockdown. Cypermethrin (0.1%) leaves a residual layer that keeps killing insects walking across treated surfaces. Pyriproxyfen (0.01%) is an insect growth regulator — it stops eggs and nymphs from developing into breeding adults, so the infestation collapses instead of bouncing back.
Does Vital Guard kill bed bug eggs?+
Yes. The pyriproxyfen in the formula is an insect growth regulator that prevents eggs and juvenile bed bugs from developing into breeding adults. This is a real difference from most UK sprays, which are single-active and only kill adults on contact — eggs then hatch a week or two later and the infestation returns.
Can I spray it directly on mattresses and carpets?+
Yes. Vital Guard is designed for use on hard non-porous surfaces, cracks and crevices, and hard and soft furnishings — including mattresses and carpets. Do not apply to bed sheets, pillowcases, clothing or pet bedding. Do not touch treated surfaces until fully dry, and allow the mattress to air before making the bed.
Is it safe to use around children and pets?+
When used as directed, yes. Keep children and pets out of the treated area during application and until surfaces are fully dry. Do not spray directly on animals, and do not use on pet bedding or in areas where pets frequently lie. Vital Guard is very toxic to aquatic life — cover or remove fish tanks before spraying, and never apply near ponds or drains that reach open water.
How long does the residual protection last?+
The cypermethrin residual film keeps killing insects that walk across treated surfaces for weeks after a single application, provided the surfaces aren't washed or worn away. For heavy or ongoing infestations, repeat treatment as needed — one trigger spray is approximately 1ml, so a 1-litre bottle gives roughly 1,000 sprays.
What insects does Vital Guard work on?+
Both products are effective against flying and crawling insects including ants, beetles, mites, cockroaches, fleas, flies, mosquitoes, wasps, moths and bed bugs. Use indoors on surfaces, cracks and furnishings, and outdoors on ant and wasp nests. Not for use on pet bedding or occupied hospital wards.
Which size should I buy — 1 Litre or 500ml?+
Buy the Bed Bug Killer+ 1 Litre if you're dealing with a bed bug or mattress infestation — one bedroom typically needs the full 1L for a proper treatment across mattress, bed frame, headboard, skirting and carpet edges. Buy the Insect Killer 500ml for everyday household pest control — ants in the kitchen, flies, wasp nests, cockroach cracks. Same formula, sized for the job.
How much do I apply?+
For a space treatment (flying insects), apply 1ml per cubic metre as a fine mist — roughly one trigger pull per m³. For a surface treatment (crawling insects), apply 20ml per square metre, slightly wetting the surface. Repeat as required.
Will it stain fabrics or leave a smell?+
Vital Guard is a water-based, low-odour formula and is normally non-staining. As with any spray, we recommend testing on an inconspicuous area first before treating visible fabric or upholstery.
