Works as it should as long as your home and yard flea population is controlled first
So I’m going to leave a detailed review in hopes I can really help some people out there who are looking to find flea relief without wasting money on high dollar pet flea topical or pill products monthly just to find they dont seem to be working out too great. Due to prices…alot of people don’t seem to consistently use flea products until they start noticing a flea problem. Which is understandable… But by this time…it may already be too late to be able to rely on a pet flea product alone to fix your problem. Which is usually why you wonder “why does my pets flea medicine not seem to be working?!”First of all….this Product Actually works as it should …but you most likely won’t notice good results unless your home and yard is treated as well. Which is something some people don’t tend to realize . Some people just think you give your pet its medicine and everythings good to go and that all fleas disappear. But nope.This even goes for the most high dollar flea pet application out there. It don’t matter what you buy.Lets start by saying we must Remember…this is not a magic liquid that turns your dogs fur into bug zappers. this won’t keep a flea from hopping on. Sadly..there is no flea medicine that just keeps fleas away the same way bug spray will keep a mosquito away from us humans. But if a flea hops aboard Your pet…the flea will only die as long as it comes in contact physically or by blood ingestion of a lethal amount of the insecticide within the medicine…but won’t just die instantly. It can take several hours or up to 2 days or possibly even longer for the flea to finally kick the bucket. And its possible they can still end up laying eggs before they die.So This is mainly just a preventative measure to prevent a flea infestation if your pet, home, and yard has no current flea problems but somehow your pet comes into contact with a stray hitch hiker Joe flea….say from a stray cat or dog swinging through the neighborhood , etc.Now The insecticide within the medicine itself basically only kills an adult flea. It won’t usually kill a flea egg. But The insect growth regulator, that’s also within the medicine , is capable of penetrating the egg and doing damage. But its not a 100% guarantee all the time. Eggs can still tough it out and end up hatching.But luckily if the egg survives….the larvae that hatches from the egg won’t stand a chance with the growth regulator and never be able to mature. But That’s if it comes into contact with the growth regulator. Flea eggs don’t attach themselves to pets hair like a lice egg on a human will. Once a flea lays them…the eggs can fall off your pet into the yard or into your carpet or down into couch cushions or small cracks in hardwood flooring….just about anywhere. The egg may have not even stayed on your pet long enough to get enough contact with the medicine to even try to damage it. Which is why its important to treat the home and yard as well. But again..insecticides alone usually don’t do nothing for flea eggs. So for inside the home..besides vacuuming thoroughly daily and washing all bedding and whatnot…use a indoor safe insectide mixed with a insect growth regulator around the home anywhere you can possible. This will hopefully target any eggs or larvae and prevent them from ever getting into adulthood along with killing any adult fleas that may be running rampant .Now lets Say you haven’t started treatments yet…and you already have larvae that have matured into the next stage of life (when it turns into the pupae stage…which is when it forms its cocoon before hatching into a jumping adult flea) … ..insecticides nor insect growth regulators will do damage because they can’t penetrate the cocoon of the pupae. So once they get to the pupae stage…basically you have a biting, egg laying adult flea on its way to hatch and there is nothing you can do. Which is why even after doing treatments in the past you may have noticed a couple days later it seemed as though a million fleas came back.So this leads to me saying that if you already have fleas and you don’t treat your yard or home…this product will not likely show results on its own in any reasonable manner.Also Fleas need to have a blood meal in order to lay eggs… But it don’t have to be a pets blood. They can bite us humans as well. If your pet is treated….great…but it don’t mean any fleas roaming rampant inside your house will encounter your dog first. Of course some will…but others may encounter you first…..and then lay eggs. And of course we don’t wear flea collars or flea medicine. So unless this same flea does happen to encounter your dog or come in contact with treated areas inside your home to get a lethal dose and die before laying its eggs….the next thing you know you got a happy flea who avoided death plus a bunch of babies along the way unless treatments destroy any eggs or larvae before they can mature. So the cycle can become hard to break if you don’t properly treat and clean your home to rid of them.As far as treating the yard ….in my opinion ….its the biggest thing. Because fleas thrive off of warmth and humidity. But as far as treatment. Use liquid. And obviously this means you have to use a sprayer. But you need a good one that can really saturate through the grass and down to the dirt. Them little small sprayers that people use for weed killing products and whatnot wont do you much good.For yard treatment…don’t use them bug killing granules that say they kill fleas. They will. But only the adult fleas and do nothing for the other flea lifestyles . so they do no good for fleas. Also them liquid flea branded yard sprays….don’t waste your money. They are garbage. I use bifen xts insecticide. And mix it with tekko pro…which is theIGR (insect growth regulator). Make sure you are consistent with initial treatments. You can do 2 or 3 once a week back to back treatments of this at first to really fight back and then just maintain it routinely once a month and you should find yourself flea free in the yard.. The products I use are a bit more expensive. But its for a reason.Once you get your yard and home under wraps … then this topical product you apply to your pet will do its job and keep hitch hiker Joe from re infesting your property or your home. And it will save you money compared to buying the high dollar topicalss or pills the vet wants to overcharge for.Hopefully any info I’ve given can be helpful to anyone interested in buying this looking for flea relief that lasts.

Why I Love This!
This is one of the easiest & most effective ways to combat fleas in Texas with my Jack Russell. She’s over 10 years and gets fleas every change of season. But if I stay on top of the every 3 month application that certainly does help sort!There are quite a few positive measures: first the smell, or lack there of. There is no smell to this application. And not only that it is not great and fits not have any color that could inevitably error off on the furniture.The applicators are very much leash resistant. I had to use scissors to open mine, if that gives you an idea of that. Adding all of that to the fact that it does not hinder giving her a bath & I can guarantee this will be our “go to” from now on.
