I bought acclaim while back but never used and I wonder what it's shelf life is as doesnt say anywhere. I figured that once I've in ally bought new place I could spray the place to kill any possible fleas but not sure if still ok, I couldn't find helpline. Anyone know?

It'll last longer than that in the bottle. A lot longer. It lasts a year out of it.

Surely the only thing that is likely to happen is that it is less effective? I can't believe it is going to be toxic after that time. The other thing is that the aerosol could have corroded if it has been somewhere damp.
I am sure we are (generally) far too caught up on this sell by/ best before date business.

There's no suggestion (that I can find) of a 'use by' date on the tin.

The only issue I've had in the past after using part of a tin was the aerosol de-pressuring, or whatever the technical term is. There was still liquid in the tin, but the spray didn't work.

shake well before use to get the chemicals and aerosol active again, some people think a 10 second shake will do the trick as i have learned if it has settled well in the can and not been used for a while it takes a really good long shake for the tin to expell all its contents properly.

i cant see a problem, they have batch number to identify it to a production line and day date of production incase of a bad batch.
