With another summer over, you may be finding fewer fleas on your pet. But even one flea today could mean thousands in a few weeks.

Fleas may be commonplace over summer, but the problem with fleas is they continue to breed in your pet’s environment all year round.

Developing fleas live in carpets and bedding and outdoor places where pets run around, and even if you’ve eradicated the visible fleas on your pet there may still be eggs, larvae and pupae waiting to hatch. You can’t see this residual flea population, but left untreated it could spell big trouble.

THE FLEA LIFE CYCLE
The fleas on your pet represent only 5% of the total flea population – the other 95% are fleas in their developing stages.
 
Unless treated effectively and regularly, hidden stages can hatch and multiply, causing misery to your pet and the rest of the family.

FLEA FACTS

• Flea eggs hatch as larvae, which develop into pupae that can survive for up to six months.
• One flea today can result in 760 fleas in a month and over one-and-a-half million fleas in two months!
• It’s vital to destroy both adult fleas and their immature forms to prevent a future flea explosion.
