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.* a02492-02 Frontline Plus 8pp Leaflet with silver metallic - PE2139.indd 1-4 29/07/2016 14:06
