Seresto Cat Flea Collar With Tick Control, 1 Collar

Product Information

The Seresto collar is largely only effective against adult fleas. Flea larvae are minimally affected and flea eggs are not. The collar can kill adult fleas before they are able to lay eggs, but if there was a pause or lapse in use of a collar, allowing any eggs or larvae to be introduced by adults before they were killed, the collar will not be able to eliminate those younger stages of the infestation. Now, it’s true that eventually any eggs and/or larvae on a cat and in the environment will develop into adults and the collar will kill them, but this may take some time depending on how many eggs or larvae we’re talking about. An adult flea can lay 50 eggs a day.
