Beating fleas is a year-round job

Fleas are tough. But they like their creature comforts too, which is why your nice warm home is the ideal place for them to hold up for the winter.

Fleas can breed right through the winter, laying eggs that fall off pets and lodge around the house. Ideal places for fleas to develop include carpet pile, within furniture and upholstery and in the cracks between floorboards.

So unfortunately, out of sight doesn’t mean out of action. The adult fleas you can see on your pet represent only 5% of the total flea population. The other 95% are the immature stages in your pet’s home environment that are waiting for the right conditions to hatch.

A hidden pest

Fleas can adapt too. Their life cycle from adult flea to egg to larva to pupa to adult can take just weeks with the right temperature and humidity conditions.

In the pupal stages, they can lie dormant for up to six months if required before hatching when stimulated by movement, carbon dioxide, or heat.

Breaking the flea life cycle

That’s why it’s so important to break the flea life cycle by continuing to treat your pets every month of the year with FRONTLINE PLUS^®.

FRONTLINE PLUS is the only spot-on flea treatment that breaks the flea life cycle at every stage; killing adult fleas and their eggs, and preventing larval and pupal development.
