pet fleas - flea spray for your house

Paul_Varjak

The spray I get from my vet not only kills any fleas in the house but stops re-infection for several months as well.

Does the spray you get from Environment Health claim the prevent re-infection?

I also use a metal toother nit comb to groom my cat with (if your cat will allow this without taking your arm off) i use frontline and then comb her every other day and she has only had 2 fleas in over a year

I had a terible time with fleas off my cat last year the whole house was infested in the end, i spent a fortune on sprays etc.
I was advised to treat the cat with Advantage spot on stuff even through winter to break the flea cycle, i have done this and not 1 flea so far this year.

i work in a vets, and you can get a drop on product that you use on back of neck of cats/dogs.... that does the environment and the pet. its one better than normal frontline, it called frontline combo. and if done regularly, cats every 3-4 wks, and dogs every 4-8 wks, you can prevent them from breeding.
origional frontline kills fleas. lice and ticks (ticks for one week), but combo actually prevents the cycle of the flea, ie if its an egg it wont hatch, adnn a lavae will not grow into a flea, etc etc.

Program injection is also worth while thinking about, it steralises the flea, so no egg hatching, but fleas can still jump on/off, but if used in conjunction with frontline, or a instant flea killin product like capstar it can work well, especiall for cats with a flea alergy. (capstar kills in 20mins all fleas on the cat/or dog, but only workes at the time of giving it).
All above products avaliable only from vets, tho the capstar is similar in working liek 4pets tablets avaliabe in petshops. the rest ar POM. prescription only medication.
