FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the benefits of using this product?

Kills adult fleas and ticks and prevents flea larvae and eggs from maturing
Topical application that is easy to use
Kills mosquitoes
Waterproof
Starts working through contact

How long will it take for this product to begin to work?
The product should begin to kill fleas within 24-48 hours but may take up to 72 hours to reach its full effectiveness.

What is the difference between this product and oral flea products?
This product is applied to your pet topically and kills fleas through contact with the product on your pet’s skin, so fleas don’t have to bite to die. With oral flea medications, fleas must bite your furry family member and be exposed to the medication in the pet before the fleas are killed.

Can I put a flea and tick collar on the dog after I have applied the squeeze-on?
No. This will put your pet at risk of an overdose of flea/tick product.
This flea product will kill fleas, flea eggs and larvae, and ticks for up to one month without any other additional flea products.  

How do these products spread over a pet’s body? How long does this take?
This product is topical only and is dispersed over your furry family member’s body by the natural oils on their skin and attaches to the hair follicle. This process can take up to 24 hours.

How does this product work?
This product combines two active ingredients:

Permethrin attacks flea and ticks’ nervous systems – paralyzing and ultimately killing them
S-methoprene is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that prevents flea eggs and larvae from maturing to adults


This combination plays a crucial role in existing infestations, because:


In an existing infestation you might only be aware of the adult fleas, which only represent around 5% of the full infestation and are found on your furry family members.
Immature flea life stages (flea eggs, larvae and pupae) which live in your furry family member’s environment consist of around 95% of the infestation and can be almost invisible to the naked eye.
