Remove all pets but ensure pet bedding is treated as this is a primary hiding place for pre-adult fleas. Flea spray is an essential item for any pet lover whose dog or cat spends a lot of time outdoors and lives in an area that’s highly susceptible to fleas. However, flea spray alone may not be enough to keep your furry friend safe. Here are some other steps our team recommends you can take to prevent and get rid of fleas. Keep Your Home and Yard Clean Acclaim Flea Spray can be used on pets and furniture, and it’s safe for use around children and pets when used as directed. It is very toxic to cats, who cannot tolerate the therapeutic doses made for dogs. It remains much longer in cat organs compared to dogs and can be fatal in larger doses, so if you have cats, increase the recommended wait times before you allow them into the room.

One bottle covers an average four-bedroom house, spraying all affected surfaces for around 13 seconds for the most effective solution. Just spray, leave the room for around half an hour and then ventilate. Ensure all pets are out of the room as it is strong. The pupal window is the key to clearing your home of fleas.

Topical flea meds containing high dosages of permethrin are hazardous and potentially fatal to cats. Never give a cat a flea medication formulated for dogs. Some flea sprays also contain permethrin, although the concentration is usually much lower. If you use permethrin spray, read the label to make sure it’s safe for the type of pet you have. Versatility As for the products to kill those fleas, there are several treatment options on the market. Each of them will have slightly different ways of working so make sure you read and follow the instructions. Can Flea Sprays Kill Cats?
