How Advantage Flea Control works
ADVANTAGE® may be used to prevent infestation in flea-free animals taken temporarily to known flea-infested environments. Apply a single dose before moving to the infested environment. ADVANTAGE® may be used as the only product for flea control as it breaks the life cycle and kills fleas emerging from the environment to reinfest the cat/dog. More rapid resolution of heavy environmental infestations may be obtained by additional environmental control measures using a suitable product. If re-treatment becomes necessary earlier than 4 weeks, do not re-treat more than once weekly.
How can you properly administer Advantage Flea Control?
ADVANTAGE® has been shown to kill adult and larval fleas within 20 minutes of contact by absorption via the flea intersegmental membranes. Stops fleas from feeding in 3–5 minutes. Fleas are not required to bite the animal to receive a lethal dose.

What are the precautions in using Advantage Flea Control?
The successive feeding activity of fleas on pets may elicit a hypersensitivity skin disorder known as Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD). Treatment of pets with ADVANTAGE® rapidly kills fleas and reduces the incidence of this condition.
