Product Information

Admittedly, it’s a little more expensive than the other sprays on our list considering you only get an 8 and a half-ounce bottle. But what you do get for your money is a very powerful flea spray for cats in the home. It uses Fiprinol as its main active ingredient, and it really does work. Dealing with fleas on kittens can be as easy as finding the right product, but what if they’re under 6 weeks of age? For the past couple of days, I’ve been taking care of a 3-week old kitten. Ninety percent of the time I end up finding fleas on kittens and it can be impossible to find a one-time product that is safe for those kittens under 6 weeks of age.

The second disadvantage is in the application process. Keeping a kitty still for a single spot-on application is feasible in most cases, though some kitty parents even have trouble with this. Generally, applying a spray liberally to a cat’s body and needing to work it into the fur coat is intensive and many grown cats may not sit still well for it. To kill anything that the bath didn’t completely get rid of we need a preventative. With the baby being under 6 weeks of age we have to be careful with what we use. While Vet’s Best claims that diluted essential oils are safe for cats, some experts consider essential oils unsafe for cats in any form. This formula also contains sodium lauryl sulfate, which can cause respiratory issues in cats if ingested. Fipronil: The active ingredient in Frontline products, this adulticide is often used in spot-on treatments. It’s considered quite safe and can wipe out a large flea population within 24 hours. To make your flea spray, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 20 drops of essential oils. Mix them thoroughly and rub them into your cat’s fur. Let it sit on her fur for 5 minutes before rinsing off in lukewarm water. This is a natural and chemical-free way to control fleas on your kitty without spending tons of money at the vet’s office. You can also use orange or lemon essential oils if you have any allergies that could be triggered by using peppermint oil; everyone’s body reacts differently! 5) Eucalyptus Oil + WaterIt’s also important to consider which method will suit your cat’s temperament best. “Choose whatever will be the least stress for you both,” Reay says. “If your pet easily takes tablets in food, then choose those, otherwise go for a spot on and use food or treats as a distraction while it’s applied. The calmer you are, the more you’ll help to reassure your pet.” Adams Plus flea shampoo contains pyrethrins, which kill adult fleas, as well as the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen. It also contains piperonyl butoxide, which boosts the effectiveness of pyrethrins. The recipe is formulated with soothing aloe, lanolin, and oatmeal to help minimize skin irritation. These synthetic insecticides are more powerful and longer-lasting than naturally occurring pyrethrin. They’re toxic to cats and are never a good flea treatment choice. Pyrethroid chemicals include allethrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, fenvalerate, fluvalinate, permethrin, phenothrin, tetramethrin, and etofenprox. Permethrin Its entirely natural formula uses plant-based alternatives to chemicals used in other flea sprays to produce a product that seems just as effective at removing fleas from bedding and linen. Add about 15 drops of eucalyptus, 20 drops of lavender, and 10 drops of rosemary to 1 cup of water in a spray bottle. Shake gently before use. Use on your cat once a week. (Avoiding getting it in their eyes.) conclusion:

Treat your cat - treat your cat and any other cats, dogs and rabbits in the house (on the same day). Ideally use a prescription product from your vets, but if this isn’t possible, use an NFA-VPS product. Products you can buy of the shelf, without a prescription (e.g. from a supermarket or pet shop) often contain less effective ingredients Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. If you have other pets in your home you’ll want to get them a preventative for fleas. As the flea eggs hatch from the kitten, we don’t want them to jump over on to your other pets. See Fleas: How To Kill Them and Keep Them Away if you don’t have them covered already. ConclusionFrom a distance of about 15cm spray the product onto the roots of the coat and onto the skin. Work from the rear to the head to give an even spread of product over the main body area. Remember that a flea spray for cat fleas will provide much better results if used alongside other effective methods to remove fleas from your home. You want to create an environment that fleas cannot survive in. Most cat owners that use preventatives use spot-ons because they are easy to use and last a good amount of time but if your cat will take a treat, oral products may be a good option, too. Collars are easy to place on a cat that will allow them but as previously discussed, concerns surround the use of flea collars.

Injectable flea preventatives are usually only administered by veterinarians so taking your cat to the vet is all that is required of you for that option. Vacuum every day. Vacuuming not only helps remove flea eggs in the home, but it also encourages flea pupae to hatch.If you have a tiny kitten or puppy, baby shampoo might be your best bet. It’s mild enough to irritate sensitive skin, and it cleans well. Just use your favorite brand and spray liberally. Bonus: You can combine baby shampoo with water in a 1:1 ratio if you prefer a more liquid application instead of foam or gel. 19) A Homeopathic Treatment for Animals
