The increase in fleas
The problem with fleas today is that there are a lot more of these pesky critters about. This is due to a favourable shift in the temperature, as a result of climate change! Consequently, our pets are more likely to pick up an unwanted flea friend when outdoors, than they would have been in the past.
Traditionally in the Philippines, fleas survive indoors and outdoors all-year long. Climate change has resulted in us experiencing warmer weather, favouring the survival of these itchy critters.
Flea pupae that would not normally survive are able to remain dormant during the colder months. They then emerge as adult fleas when the temperature suits them.
The hotter months are also optimal for flea development and under these conditions, fleas can go from egg to adult in just 14 days! These factors combined have led to an explosion in the flea population during the hotter months.
This means that it is more important than ever to make sure you protect your pet against today’s army of fleas, by regularly using a FRONTLINE® Plus product.
