Flea treating all year round is the best way to avoid a flea problem.
IF YOU DO FIND YOURSELF FIGHTING FLEAS, FOLLOW BEAPHAR’S FIVE-STEP PLAN TO GET ON TOP OF THE FLEA INFESTATION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE: Treat your pet with a product to kill fleas — choose a licenced medicine with a Vm number on the pack — this means the product has been tested and does what it claims.
Vacuum your home and soft furnishings — flea pupae cannot be killed by any insecticides.Vacuuming encourages them to hatch into adult fleas ready for step 3.
Treat your home with a household flea spray — choose a product with an insecticide and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR).The insecticide kills adult fleas, while the IGR prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing. Continue treating your pet and home — reapply your cat’s flea treatment as directed on the pack and continue vacuuming and treating your home until you’ve overcome the flea infestation. Once you’ve got rid of fleas, switch to an on-animal combination flea treatment — combination flea treatments work on your cat and in your home, so you just need one flea product rather than two. Again, choose a product with a Vm number on the pack.
