Product Information

You and your cat will both be happier once those pesky fleas are banished from sharing your home. If you’ve got a favorite flea spray product, let us know in the comments below. We’d love to hear from you. It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. TO PREVENT HARM TO YOU AND YOUR PET, READ ENTIRE LABEL AND ATTACHED DIRECTIONS BEFORE EACH USE. Follow all directions and precautionary statements carefully. Use only on dogs and cats. Do not use on rabbits. Do not use on any other animals.

Application is also generally messier, requiring gloves and possibly keeping a kitty that has had the spray recently applied in a confined area like a bathroom for at least 24 hours until the spray fully dries to prevent it from ending up on upholstery and furniture. Frontline Spray is also far more cost-effective, especially since it can be used on both dogs and cats in a multiple pet household. This depends on the types of active ingredients used and their concentration. Some flea sprays contain insecticides that kill all or some life stages of fleas. Others contain Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) that interrupt the flea life cycle by preventing larvae and eggs from maturing into adult fleas. Other flea sprays contain plant-based ingredients, like essential oils, that kill some or all life stages of fleas. Lastly, some plant-based flea sprays contain essential oils that are designed to repel but not kill fleas. These basically cover your cat’s coat in a smell that is unpleasant for fleas, so they’re less likely to stay on your cat’s coat to lay their eggs and bite your cat. Ingredients: Natural or chemical? Following application of any Frontline product, it’s important to note that because fipronil causes neurologic overexcitement in the flea prior to killing it, more fleas may become visible and active following application of the product.As with any flea control product, wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after use. IF ON SKIN OR CLOTHING: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. When used properly, side effects of Frontline products are uncommon. Frontline products generally are only labeled for cats 8 weeks of age or older in the US. Important: Do not use Frontline flea spray on rabbits as this could cause severe side effects or even death.

Ventilated Area: Make sure your pet dries in a well-ventilated room. Keep away from heat sources for at least 30 minutes after application. Lastly, topical products like Frontline have been known to cause skin and eye irritation in people. It is best to wear disposable gloves when applying the spray and to wash your hands after. If your cat has fleas, there’s every chance that their bedding and your home surfaces have flea eggs on them. As these mature into adult fleas, the cycle of infestation continues. So, as you treat your cat for fleas, you’ll need to also treat surfaces, like your cat’s bed, carpets, soft furnishings, and anywhere else that your cat may sleep or hang out on a regular basis. The first is that the Frontline Spray does not directly treat all life stages of the flea (eggs and larvae) as it does not contain an insect growth regulator ingredient. This means that after spraying a cat with an active flea infestation, more fleas are likely to appear a couple weeks later. This will take longer for an active infestation of the home to get under control and extra diligence should be taken toward treating the home environment. This does mean that eggs and larvae may still develop into adult fleas, so it may be possible to see new adults emerge after a couple of weeks of initially killing the original adult flea infestation.Traditional chemical flea sprays are usually safe and extremely effective. Some of them can cause localized skin irritation if they’re used too frequently. Natural flea sprays contain plant-based ingredients, including cedarwood oil, lemongrass, and citronella. These may not be as effective at killing fleas as sprays containing insecticides or IGRs, but the choice comes down to your personal preference and which ingredients you’re happy to use. Can I use flea spray on home surfaces? The main difference between Frontline Spot-On and Frontline Plus is that Frontline Plus contains an additional active ingredient, (S)-methoprene, which prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing. This means that Frontline Combo can provide more comprehensive protection against fleas, as it can help to break the flea lifecycle. When considering use of either the Frontline Spray or the Frontline spot-on products, it’s important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each.

The manufacturer recommends applying the spray from a distance of 10 to 20 centimeters (about 4 to 8 inches). The spray should be applied against the lay of the coat so that the spray can be worked down toward the skin more effectively. As a flea control product, fipronil can only kill the adults. Since it doesn’t contain an insect growth regulator like (S)-methoprene or pyriproxyfen like Frontline Plus or Frontline GOLD, Frontline Spray doesn’t have the ability to target flea eggs or larvae. Ruffle the Coat: Particularly for long-haired pets, ruffle the coat to allow the product to penetrate to the skin level. Frontline Spray is dosed based on the weight of the cat it’s being applied on. The label on the spray bottle does include a weight-based dosing chart to refer to for both cats and dogs.Dogs and Cats: Depending on the length of the hair, apply 3 to 6 ml per kg of body weight. This translates to 2 to 4 pump applications for the 250 ml and 500 ml bottles. Some flea sprays are also suitable for use on home surfaces, but you should always read the label of your preferred product to make sure this is the case. Can I use other flea treatments at the same time as flea spray?

Frontline Spray for cats is considered waterproof, but the manufacturer does recommend waiting 48 hours before bathing, and to use a soap-free shampoo. Apply Against Hair Growth: Spray the solution against the lay of the hair, ensuring the entire coat is dampened. CONTAINER DISPOSAL. If empty: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Place in trash or offer for recycling if available.
