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

Product Information

Insecticide sprays or foams are spritzed directly onto the roots of a cat’s fur and skin, killing fleas on contact. As well as chemical sprays, there are plant-based alternatives, but these may need multiple applications for maximum benefit. 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.

This won’t affect adult fleas, so another treatment will need to be used in conjunction if your cat is already infested. Spot-on treatments are more expensive than collars and need to be used more regularly but, unlike a collar, a cat can’t remove them and they’re weather-proof, making them one of the most effective flea treatments on the market. 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.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. At the most affordable end of the market, flea collars can cost as little as a few pounds every four months, but aren’t the best solution for every cat.

This design has a few other good things going for it: a bell to alert potential prey to your cat’s whereabouts, an elasticated strip so your cat can wriggle out of it if it gets caught, and a soft velvet coating to keep kitty comfy. 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. Get rid of unwanted pests with these quick and effective Johnson's Flea Tablets for Cats and Kittens. Some drops are waterproof – great for use on rainy days – while others will need to be absorbed and dry to be effective. 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.It’s impregnated with permethrin, so won’t be suitable for every cat, but will keep most flea-free, especially around the neck.

A fine-toothed flea comb is a handy tool for investigating, although it won’t get rid of them completely. A room fogger or household flea spray (such as Indorex) used on bedding, floors and along skirting, followed by thorough vacuuming, should effectively evict any unwelcome houseguests. They’re especially useful for cats with sensitive skin, flea allergic dermatitis or recurring infestations and are safe for kittens and pregnant cats.This can quickly become more costly when compared to other methods, so this is best used as a short-term solution. There are no contraindications with this product and it is safe to use with other flea and worming treatments, leaves no residue on their coat or in the home. You will still need to give your pet a thorough comb to remove any eggs, though, and vacuum the house. Flea collars are low maintenance and affordable – they’re often effective for up to four months before needing to be replaced.

Depending on the product, some sprays can be effective for only a few days afterwards, while others can last for months.

However, there’s a bewildering array of cat flea treatment options, with some more effective than others. It works both by dehydrating the fleas’ exoskeletons and blocking their respiratory system, while also dehydrating eggs and larvae to prevent further infestation, leaving behind a protective film to repel additional parasites.
