Our long, warm and humid summer has created some ideal conditions for flea survival in most parts of the country. So this autumn, we can expect fleas to flourish and continue to infestour pets.
Flea treatment is an all-year-round commitment because fleas can be active in all seasons, and autumn is no exception. Fleas can breed on any untreated animals within your home to produce eggs that develop into immature flea stages that can cause reinfestation. It doesn’t take long for a few fleas to multiply, producing hundreds, even thousands of flea life stages in the environment.
As your pet ventures outside this autumn, it may pick up fleas from the environment. So if you observe a small number of fleas on your treated pet from time to time, don’t be concerned. Frontline Plus works by killing these fleas as they come into contact with the product on the pet’s coat. Frontline Plus is recommended to control existing flea problems, as well as prevent new infestations from occurring. The two active
ingredients in Frontline Plus protect your pet and home by killing the adult fleas on your pet as well as all the flea stages in the environment, thus breaking the flea life cycle at every stage. One ingredient (fipronil) kills adult fleas and the other, (S)-methoprene, ensures eggs, larvae and pupae do not develop into adult fleas. The
two active ingredients working together provides ‘integrated flea control’.
For flea control ensure you apply the correct Frontline Plus product to each pet every month, all-year-round. Frontline Plus pipettes are specifically designed to give the correct dose of treatment to pets in particular weight ranges. The products for dogs and cats are also formulated differently so use the correct pipette for your pet. Thankfully, the protection doesn’t stop at fleas. Frontline Plus also helps protect your pet from the potentially deadly threat of paralysis ticks. If you live in a paralysis tick area, Frontline Plus should be applied to dogs every 2 weeks and Frontline Spray should be applied to cats every 3 weeks during the tick season. Remember to always read the label instructions and search pets daily for paralysis ticks.
