What is the best way to resolve a home infestation? Follow our 5 steps to help resolve the problem: Ensure all cats, dogs and flea-bearing pets in your home are continually treated with an appropriate product at the recommended intervals for at least 3 consecutive months. Vacuum more often than usual — ideally daily - and include places your pet regularly visits, for example the car. The vibration caused by vacuuming helps to encourage pupae to hatch.
Always read the instructions on the can before use. Ensure your pets have access to all the same parts of the home that they usually do. Fleas present in those areas will be killed when they hop onto your treated pet. If they do come into contact with rain within this period, it is unlikely that your pet would have been wet enough for the product to be washed away.
However, if your pet gets soaked to the skin then the efficacy of the treatment may be impaired and reapplication may be warranted. If this is the case, please contact your veterinary surgeon for advice. Why might I see fleas on my treated pet? Why is it important to tackle flea eggs as well as fleas?

A: Some dog products, mainly Permethrins, are toxic to cats. If this is caught quickly, within a few minutes of application and the cat is not showing any symptoms, you can bathe the entire cat in liquid dish soap up to three times back to back to remove the product and then call your veterinarian for further assistance. If the cat is showing symptoms such as tremoring or seizing, the cat should be immediately transferred to a veterinary facility for treatment.
When faced with a potential toxicity situation, it is important to remember that there is help available. Each flea product should have an emergency number on the package to call. While serious adverse reactions to a product are rare, they can occur to any dog or cat. Before applying a flea product to your pet, consult with your veterinarian about potential side effects, dosing instructions and the best type of flea treatment right for you and your pet.
You can also contact the company who makes the product for additional information. We hope you and your pet have a safe, flea-free year!
