Product Details
FRONTLINE HOMEGARD is a household flea spray that kills fleas, flea larvae, and ticks, while also preventing flea eggs from hatching. It keeps working for up to 6 months, helping to prevent future infestations and keeping your home safe for pets.
How it works
Most fleas on your pet are only 5% of the problem — the remaining 95% live in your home, hiding in carpets, sofas, beds, and floors. FRONTLINE HOMEGARD® targets these hidden eggs and larvae, stopping infestations before they spread.
Administration
- Spray around your home, including under furniture and in the car if your pet travels there.
- Use sparingly on wooden or glossy surfaces to avoid marks.
- Leave the room for 1 hour, then ventilate well.
- Do not use directly on pets.
- Keep cats and other pets away until surfaces are completely dry.
Safety information
- Permethrin can be toxic to cats if applied directly, but safe when used on household surfaces as directed.
