Spending time outdoors during warmer weather with the kids and pets is healthy and fun. The problem is fleas live out here as well.


FLEAS IN THE HOME
Fleas can easily jump onto your pets whilst outside. A single female can lay as many as 50 eggs each day on your pet. During warmer months it takes only a couple of weeks for those eggs to become adult fleas. An infestation of fleas spells big trouble for your family’s health.

Besides the itchy bites that cause misery, fleas can carry tapeworm larvae which infect both children and pets if accidentally swallowed. Pets that scratch excessively can develop rough skin, baldness and skin infections.

BREAKING THE FLEA LIFE CYCLE
Research has shown that the only truly effective control of fleas in the home
is to break their life cycle, destroying both adult fleas and fleas in their developing stages.





FRONTLINE® PLUS
The flea’s life cycle can be stopped. FRONTLINE Plus is New Zealand’s Number 1 flea treatment with a unique integrated system that breaks the flea life cycle using two active ingredients.
