Frequently Asked Questions

Why do fleas come back after treatment?
Fleas have a life cycle (eggs, larvae, pupae, adults). Treatments kill adults, but eggs may hatch later, which is why repeated and thorough cleaning is needed.
Can fleas live on humans?
Fleas may bite humans but they cannot live or reproduce on us. They need pets or other warm-blooded hosts to survive long term.
How long does it take to eliminate fleas completely?
With consistent treatment and prevention, most infestations improve within 3–4 weeks, but it can take up to 3 months to fully break the cycle.
Do flea collars really work?
Some modern vet-recommended collars can help, but many cheap collars are ineffective. Always check with your vet before relying on collars.
