Newly emerged adult fleas jump onto your pet, after a blood meal, mate and start to lay eggs. Eggs can be produced 24 hours after landing on your pet.
After treatment, Bravecto chew or spot-on for cats and dogs kills 100% of fleas within 12 hours.
Flea eggs fall into your pet’s immediate environment. The eggs hatch as larvae, burrowing deep into carpets, cracks between floorboards, bedding and furniture.
Larvae turn into pupae which stay well protected in a cocoon until they get close enough to your pet to emerge as fleas.
Adult fleas emerge from their cocoons 3-8 weeks or more after eggs are laid. Bravecto provides at least 3 months flea and tick protection, effectively killing all newly emerged adult fleas and breaking the flea lifecycle.
