Fleas and your petEgg
stage:It's a good idea to check pets for fleas on a regular basis. It is especially important to check if your pets
seem unusually nervous or grumpy, or if they're scratching more than seems natural. The average life of the egg
stage is 10 days. Larval stage:After hatching, the larvae find a dark place in your
home and feed on flea feces. They grow, molt twice and spin cocoons where they grow into pupae. The average life
of the larval stage is 12 days. Pupal stage:Pupae spend 8-9 days in their cocoon growing
to adulthood, then wait for signals that it is time to emerge. The average life of the pupal stage is 4 - 5 months.
Many pupae are present in the household before adults are seen Pupal stage: Adult stage:Adult fleas detect
a host from inside their cocoons at which point they leave the cocoon, hop onto a host, find a mate and start the cycle again. The
average life of an adult flea is 50 days. Adult stage:Adult fleas detect a host from inside their cocoons at
which point they leave the cocoon, hop onto a host, find a mate and start the cycle again. The average life of an
adult flea is 50 days. The adult fleas you see on your pet represent approximately 5% of the total flea population, and are only the
tip of the infestation iceberg

How
it works:
K9 Advantix combines imidacloprid and permethrin to repel and kill fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.
Each ingredient begins to affect pests on contact, attacking parasite nerve cells at different sites. When combined, the two
compounds overwhelm the parasite's nervous system. This leads to rapid paralysis and death of the parasite. It repels and
kills ticks before they can attach. K9 Advantix repels and kills mosquitoes before they can bite. |
