Brunssum: Where to get Flea Bombs for your March Out

If you have pets in your house you need to purchase flea bombs to use before you March Out. Some families have had difficulties in purchasing flea bombs within the limited time frame of Marching Out.

There are two main options to get flea bombs:

• Buy them online - this can take up to 2 weeks or more for them to arrive - especially if ordering to the BFPO address, 4 weeks in advance is advised.
• Fress Napf is a pet shop in Germany (about 10 minutes drive from JFC Brunssum) that sells flea bombs. Below are photos of the items.

These items can also be ordered online, by searching for 'Flea Bombs' or 'Flea Foggers'. Again please bear in mind that delivery of these can take longer than you might expect!

Please note that the prices above are correct as of Feb 2026.
