How long does it take to solve a flea problem?
While adult fleas you see can be killed fairly quickly, newly developing fleas in the pet’s environment often delay complete control. If you already have an existing flea infestation both on your pet and in your home, it may take about 2 – 3 weeks after the initial application before complete flea eradication is realized. A second treatment of your home in about 2 weeks may be needed to kill the new adult fleas as they emerge from their protective pupal cocoons.
