How Good Are Flea Collars For Cats?
WouterFlea collars can be an excellent way to keep your cat flea-free and healthy. The active ingredients in the collar gradually release their chemical properties into your cat’s coat, killing off existing fleas within a few days. Unlike topical treatments, which must be applied every month, flea collars will last about eight months before they need to be changed.
One of the most popular cat flea collars is Bayer’s Seresto, which releases a low-concentration of insect repellent on your cat’s fur and skin. This collar is relatively inexpensive compared to other types of flea treatments, and the odorless and non-greasy formula makes it a great choice for indoor cats.
Some people have reported that the collars they purchased did not work for their cats. Others have noted that their cats became ill after using the collars. They also noted that the collars were brittle and smelled bad. Some of these collars may take two weeks to fully kill fleas, depending on the level of infestation. However, they may be effective against small numbers of fleas. If you have a large infestation, you should look for another type of collar.
Gas collars are another popular option for treating fleas. They release a gas that drives fleas away. Some gas collars are potentially toxic, so make sure you check the labels carefully. However, these products may not be as effective as those with essential oils and odor-control ingredients.
