Johnsons 4Fleas Tablets for Cats and Kittens, 6 Treatment Pack, 14D083

Product Information

This is partly because fleas and their eggs can survive up to six months without being on your pet but also because cats’ lifestyles of exploring every interesting leaf pile or shed means they will often come into contact with them. This can quickly become more costly when compared to other methods, so this is best used as a short-term solution. If you’ve mastered the art of giving your cat pills or hiding them in food, oral flea tablets will kill fleas quickly (starting in as little as 15 minutes), but won’t get rid of the eggs. They use lufenuron to prevent and control an infestation, stopping eggs from developing and hatching once the chemical is in the body of adult fleas through a bite.

Collars can also cause some hair loss around the neck, while some cats are sensitive to the chemicals in them. Some drops are waterproof – great for use on rainy days – while others will need to be absorbed and dry to be effective.Once resident on your cat, fleas can cause anything from irritating skin conditions to anaemia so a good prevention strategy – as well as an effective cure – is key. You will still need to give your pet a thorough comb to remove any eggs, though, and vacuum the house. As well as chemical sprays, there are plant-based alternatives, but these may need multiple applications for maximum benefit. Get rid of unwanted pests with these quick and effective Johnson's Flea Tablets for Cats and Kittens.

Depending on the product, some sprays can be effective for only a few days afterwards, while others can last for months.While it’s not suitable for very young kittens, it’s safe for pregnant and nursing cats, plus this pack comes with an ebook detailing everything you need to know about keeping fleas and ticks at bay.

It can’t be licked off by other animals or washed away by rain, but the downside is that some cats can react badly or become hyperactive, meaning it’s best to stay with them during treatment. Head to your vet to find out about long-term prevention of fleas via prescription-only injections, which work by interrupting the flea lifecycle at the egg and larval stage. This won’t affect adult fleas, so another treatment will need to be used in conjunction if your cat is already infested. However, some cats will have too many fleas for a collar to get rid of them all, so they’re often better used as a preventative method.Spot-ons are topical liquid drops that are applied to the back of a cat’s neck, usually under the collar, which either kill fleas (this can be as rapidly as within 24 hours) or prevent the eggs from developing. Missed payments may affect your ability to use Clearpay in the future and your details may be passed onto a debt collection agency working on Clearpay's behalf. A fine-toothed flea comb is a handy tool for investigating, although it won’t get rid of them completely. Flea collars are low maintenance and affordable – they’re often effective for up to four months before needing to be replaced. Insecticide sprays or foams are spritzed directly onto the roots of a cat’s fur and skin, killing fleas on contact.
