Fleas are one of the most frustrating pests for homeowners and pet owners alike. They are tiny, fast-moving, and capable of multiplying at an alarming rate. Many people assume that once they treat their pet with a flea product, the problem will disappear within a day or two. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case.

In most cases, it takes anywhere from several weeks to three months, depending on the severity of the infestation, the environment, and the treatment methods used. To understand why it takes so long, it helps to look closely at the flea growth cycle and the lifespan of a flea.

Treatments that also include (S) Methoprene, like Itch Flea Treatment not only target the adult fleas feeding on your pets and kills them dead in 24 hours (and ticks in 48 hours), but also targets flea eggs and larvae, stopping the fast and furious flea life cycle dead in its tracks to stop new fleas developing.

We asked in-house Itch vet, Dr. Zoe Costigan to give us the lowdown on why your cat or dog might still be scratching after applying a flea treatment to your pet. Here's what she had to say:

“It’s fairly normal for there to be a period of hyperactivity amongst the fleas as the active ingredients in a flea treatment take effect and this can cause an increase in your pet scratching. It should settle down after 24 hours. If after 24 hours your pet continues to scratch, there could be other things going on. Your pet could be flea-allergic, it could have a skin infection or a hormone imbalance, or other conditions which can lead to itchiness.”

Nothing kills the vibe like finding out your pet has fleas. It starts with a scratch, then another, and before you know it, you have a full blown flea infestation on your hands.
