Frequently Asked Questions
How does Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats work?
Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats contains fipronil, an insecticide that kills adult fleas and ticks. It kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours. Fipronil works on the surface not via the bloodstream, meaning fleas and ticks do not need to bite your pet to be affected.
How soon will my cat see results?
Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours. Because fipronil affects the nervous system of fleas, causing hyperactivity, it can be quite common to see “more” fleas following treatment as it takes effect.
Is Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On safe for kittens?
Yes. Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats is suitable for cats and kittens from 8 weeks of age, provided they weigh at least 1kg. Always follow the instructions carefully. For kittens younger than 8 weeks or weighing less than 1kg, use Beaphar FIPROtec® Spray.
What additional measures can I take to combat flea infestations at home?
Alongside applying Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats to your cat, use Beaphar FLEAtec Household Flea Spray to treat your home. This combined approach helps target flea eggs, flea larvae and adult fleas in the home.
What steps should I follow for effective cat and home flea treatment?
Besides applying Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats, routinely wash your cat’s bedding and treat your home with an appropriate household flea spray. These steps help control fleas on cats and support a cleaner home environment.
How do I get rid of fleas if my cat is already affected?
If your cat has fleas, start by applying Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats to kill fleas on your pet. In addition, vacuum your home thoroughly and use a household flea spray, preferably one containing an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), such as Beaphar FLEAtec Household Flea Spray, to help get the problem under control.
Can Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats be part of a wider parasite-control routine?
Beaphar FIPROtec® Spot-On for Cats is specifically designed for flea and tick control and does not treat worms. However, because fleas can transmit tapeworms, it may be useful to consider a dewormer such as Beaphar WORMclear® as part of a wider parasite-control plan.
