Killing 100% of fleas isn’t just about giving your pet a quick flea bath and calling it a day. Here’s our step-by-step approach you should take to eradicate fleas:

1. Treat your pet

Start with your furry friend. Flea treatments come in various forms, including effective solutions like spot-on treatments which are applied to the back of the neck and work by spreading through the pet’s skin oils. Not all spot on flea treatments are equal though. To kill fleas effectively, use a double action flea treatment that contains both Fipronil to kill fleas and (S) Methoprene to kill eggs & larvae too and break the flea cycle

2. Treat your home

95% of fleas live in your environment, not on your pet so it’s crucial to treat your home as well as your cat or dog. Fleas love warm, cosy environments, so your house is the perfect breeding ground, here’s our vet-recommended tips:

Firstly vacuum everything (by this we mean your carpets, rugs, sofas, and even cracks in wooden floors, as this helps remove flea eggs and larvae). Then wash your bedding, which includes your pet's and your own. Use flea sprays to kill fleas at all life stages.

3. Treat your garden

If your pet spends time outdoors, fleas could be lurking there too. Keep your lawn trimmed, remove damp leaves, and consider using flea-killing sprays in shaded areas.
