REMEMBER – FleasThere is no flea product that can stop fleas jumping on to your pet. It is normal to see a few fleas on your pet after treatment as new fleas can continue to hatch out of an infested environment. These fleas will be killed within 24 hours of jumping on to your treated pet.

It may take three months or more to get rid of a flea infestation in your home, as it can take this long for all the pupae in the environment to hatch out.

Step 2 Regularly vacuum carpets and furnishings and wash your pet’s bedding at 60°C. This will help to reduce the number of eggs, larvae and pupae in the environment.

Step 3 Use FRONTLINE® HomeGard household spray, which contains an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), in your home. FRONTLINE® HomeGard kills adult fleas and larvae and prevents eggs from hatching.Remember to spray all areas where your pet goes. Larvae and pupae like dark areas, so spray underneath furniture and into the cracks in flooring. There are no chemical products that kill flea pupae.

Step 4 Allow treated pets access to all areas to encourage fleas to hatch out of their pupae and jump on to your pet to be killed.

Step 1 Treat all dogs and cats in the household with FRONTLINE® Plus every four weeks for a minimum of three consecutive months to kill adult fleas and prevent the development of eggs and larvae.

Then continue to apply every four weeks throughout the year for flea and tick control.*

2 Flea larvae – Flea larvae move away from light deep into carpets and cracks in the flooring where they feed.

3 Flea pupae (cocoons) – After spinning themselves into cocoons, flea larvae become pupae where they start to fully develop.

4 Adult fleas – New adult fleas lie in wait in their protective pupae (cocoons) for a suitable host before hatching and jumping on to take their first blood meal.

ENVIRONMENT

Double action flea control providing enhanced household protection

Ticks can be found anywhere – forests, grassy areas, urban parks and even your garden. They can attach themselves to your pet (or yourself). They might only be the size of a sesame seed before they feed on blood, but that doesn’t mean they are a small problem.

Ticks not only cause irritation and inflammation but are also second only to mosquitoes~ in transmitting infectious diseases to humans and animals, such as Lyme disease. They can also transmit canine babesiosis to dogs, which can be fatal. With Lyme disease cases increasing both in dogs† and in people,̂ it is important to help protect your pet.

1. Use a product that helps to protect your pet against ticks and fleas all year round.

2. Check your pet all over for ticks, particularly their tummy, head and ears.

3. If you spot a tick, remove it carefully using a tick remover.
