Out of sight out of mind is a false sense of security when it comes to fleas. If you haven’t treated your pets for fleas in several months, big trouble could be about
to explode.

UNDERSTANDING THE FLEA PROBLEM
Fleas continue to breed in your pet’s environment year round, accumulating through the hidden stages that account for 95 percent of the life
cycle population.

The fleas on your pet represent only 5% of the total flea life cycle population – the other 95% are the eggs, larvae and pupae waiting to hatch, and these can be found in carpets, bedding, and other areas of the home and outdoor environment.
Treat your pets all year round Fleas live in carpets and bedding and in outdoor places where pets run around. Regular flea treatment for your pets can deplete the flea population over time, and prevent future infestations from developing.





FLEA FACTS
  • A single female can lay as many as 50 eggs each day.
  • Flea eggs hatch as larvae which develop into pupae that can survive for up to six months.
