Stop Fleas from Biting in
3-5 Minutes, and Kills 98-100% of Fleas Within 12 Hours of Application
Flea control can be a very hard thing
to do especially if you live in areas where fleas are largely populated.
Weather has a lot to do with fleas and trying to keep them outdoors
and off of your pets can be very challenging.
You can try many of the products available to rid
your pets of fleas and then find that you still have the problem.
Fleas will lay their eggs in your carpet and on furniture and bedding
that your pet happens to lie on.
The first step in flea control is to rid your pet
of these blood sucking pests. Talk with your veterinarian to find
out the best products available. You can have your pet dipped; buy
flea collars, and other products that will eliminate the fleas from
your pet.
Now, that your pet is flea free, how do you get rid
of the fleas inside your home? You should now vacuum your entire
home including any furniture that your pet has laid on. Once you
vacuumed, be sure to throw the vacuum cleaner bag out immediately.
The bag is probably full of fleas and you do not want to take the
chance of them somehow finding their way out of the vacuum. If your
pet has a pet bed, wash it completely or discard it and buy a new
one. Any other bedding, towels, and rugs that your pet has been
on also need to be cleaned.
Sometimes, the above steps may not be enough to rid
your home of fleas. You may need to invest in an insecticide such
as Adams Flea & Tick Mist that can be used on carpets, baseboards,
and cracks. Fleas can hide in very small places and if you have
one flea, soon you will have many. Before using any type of insecticide,
talk with your veterinarian to be sure that it is safe to use around
your pet. You do not want your pet to ingest any type of toxic chemicals
that could make them sick.
How
much would you pay to ease your pet's suffering?
Advantage costs about
40 cents a day. That's a small price to ensure a flea-free pet and
home.
- On the first application Advantage kills 98 - 100%
of fleas on a pet within 12 hours
- New fleas jumping onto a treated pet will die within
2 - 8 hours of contact
- Applied monthly, Advantage kills adult fleas on
contact
Because it works so
fast, Advantage Flea Control provides relief from fleas within minutes.
Advantage is a proven flea killer and stops fleas from biting in
3 - 5 minutes after application. Advantage kills 98-100 percent
of fleas within 12 hours of application. In addition, one convenient
treatment lasts for up to one month.
Advantage Flea Control
is a topical flea adulticide, which means it is applied to your
pet's skin, and kills fleas on contact at the adult stage in their
life cycle.
Advantage Flea Control contains the active ingredient
Imidacloprid; the first compound of a new chemical group to be used
for flea control. Imidacloprid acts on the nervous system of the
flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Advantage also contains
benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol helps Advantage spread quickly over
the skin of the pet.
Both substances are safe for you and your pet.
Consider the alternative - remember, one flea
can lay over 2,000 eggs in your home and live on your pet for several
months.
