Say goodbye to pesky parasites

When it comes to eradicating fleas, ticks and worms, understanding your treatment and prevention options is important.

We know it can be a little daunting trying to figure out exactly what your pet needs, especially if you’re a first-time pet owner. The question you need to ask yourself is: ‘Does my pet need to be treated for a current infestation, or protected against a future one?’.

A flea’s lifecycle

Fleas can be particularly persistent and can easily grow into a huge problem for your pet, your home and you. It’s important to know what products to use to not only get rid of adult fleas, but to kill fleas at each stage of the lifecycle to prevent re-infestation!

Flea & Tick Treatment

On Pet

Why it’s important to treat your pet

It’s really important to treat your pet, because:

  • Fleas lead to worms. If you’ve got a flea infestation, chances are your pet will have likely contracted a tapeworm from them too because fleas carry worms
  • Fleas carry disease. They’re not just an itchy nuisance; they can result in some nasty conditions too, such as Flea Allergy Dermatitis
  • Fleas can cause anaemia. In young animals, a severe flea infestation can cause anaemia
  • Ticks can cause Lyme Disease. An infected tick can spread this nasty disease, which if left untreated, can be fatal

The importance of treatment when it comes to fleas and ticks in the home

Most pet owners know they should treat their cat or dog for fleas and ticks on a regular basis. But did you know that the fleas you see on your pet only makes up 5% of the flea infestation? The remaining 95% are in the home!

Making sure you treat both your pet and your home is a vital step, because it will ensure you treat the whole problem and fully eradicate them.

To provide complete protection for your pet and your home, your flea treatments need to include two ingredients: an insecticide to kill the adult fleas and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) which targets flea eggs and flea larvae.

Flea & Tick Prevention

On Pet

Why it’s important to prevent

The prevention range repels fleas but does not kill them – these are not to be used if your pet already has fleas, but rather as a preventive method.

Used at the right time, treatment and prevention methods make sure fleas don’t return!

In the Home

If your home and your pet aren’t infested with fleas, and you (quite rightly) want to keep it that way, you should then use our Bob Martin Clear Prevention range:

  • Repels fleas and ticks throughout the year
  • Used for both pet and home
  • Pesticide free and made with all natural ingredients
  • Provides pet & home protection throughout the year

What’s the difference between a repellent and an insecticide?

  • repellent prevents critters and deters them… it doesn’t kill them.
  • Whilst an insecticide will kill the fleas/ticks, so you should use this when you’ve got a problem, to quickly get rid of a burden.

Fleas thrive best in warm, humid environments, that’s why the warmer months are known as the ‘flea season’ – so called due to the boom in the number of the critters.


And although spring and summer will bring an explosion in numbers, they can continue to live inside our homes throug
hout the year, due to our warm, centrally heated houses. That’s why it’s really important to treat at-need and prevent throughout the year.
