How can I reduce the environmental impact of flea treatments?

You can help protect the environment by following the product instructions carefully. Avoid allowing treated pets to swim for at least four days after application, do not wash products into drains or waterways, dispose of used pipettes in household waste, and place fur from recently treated pets in the bin rather than leaving it outside where birds may use it for nesting.

What should I do if I get flea treatment on my hands?

If any product gets onto your hands, wipe it away with a paper towel, dispose of the towel in your household waste bin, then wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes or mouth until your hands have been cleaned.

How should I dispose of used flea treatment pipettes?

Empty or used spot-on pipettes should be placed in your household waste bin. Never rinse pipettes, pour leftover product down sinks or drains, or place them in household recycling. Responsible disposal helps protect wildlife and the environment.

How often should I use flea treatment on my pet?

Most spot-on flea treatments should be applied monthly to provide ongoing protection. Always follow the instructions on the product label and never apply treatments more frequently than recommended. Regular treatment, together with treating your home environment where necessary, helps reduce the risk of reinfestation.

Why is the flea treatment not working on my pet?
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.
