Flea control is an all-year-round commitment. Treating your pets every month, even if you can't see fleas, will mean that both your pets and your home will remain protected 365 days a year. By following a few simple steps you can help control flea infestations on your pet and in the home. Visit tips for better flea control now.
Adult fleas make up a mere 5% of the total flea population in your home. Like an iceberg, most of the problem lies beneath the surface.
Just one single female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day. These eggs fall from your pet's coat into the home and garden environment. These eggs may be found inside the home in carpet, upholstery and the cracks between floorboards.
Immature flea stages (eggs, pupae and larvae) can remain in the environment until the conditions are right for them to hatch into adult fleas. Weather conditions during spring, summer and autumn provide the ideal environment for fleas to complete their life cycle and infest pets. A warm winter home can also provide the perfect environment.
The key to all-year-round flea control is continued monthly application of FRONTLINE PLUS, even in cooler weather. FRONTLINE PLUS kills all stages of the flea life cycle to protect your pets and their home environment from flea infestation.
One ingredient (fipronil) kills adult fleas and the other (s-methoprene) kills flea eggs and stops larval and pupal development. That's why FRONTLINE PLUS is the No.1 selling product† for flea control.
Recent Australian studies* have shown that fewer than half of all dog and cat owners treat their pets monthly for fleas. In addition, around 15% of dog owners and 19% of cat owners only treat when fleas are seen. To make sure you remember to treat your pets all year round, register for treatment reminders now.
