Flea treatment may seem ineffective if it’s not used as part of a complete flea control routine. When treating your pet, it’s important to follow the product label directions closely. In cases of heavy infestation or for pets with long hair coats, more frequent re-treatment may be needed.
It’s also important to understand that fleas on your pet only represent a small part of the problem. Around 1–5% of fleas live on your pet, while the rest exist in the home as eggs, larvae and pupae. This means new fleas can continue to emerge even after treatment.
