How Soon Does Revolution Kill Fleas?

When applied to your pet, Revolution kills the fleas and the eggs. While it’s true that you may still see an occasional flea or two on your dog, you will not have to worry about flea infestations for months. The product works by destroying the flea population in the environment and also kills any adult fleas on your pet. In controlled studies, 98% of fleas were killed within 36 hours and a full 90 percent control was achieved 30 days after the first application. The treatment also improves clinical signs associated with flea infestations on dogs and cats.

Revolution is a great choice for flea and ear mite control. It also kills worms and protects against heartworm disease. The product is also effective for intestinal hookworm infection in cats. It can be applied to your cat’s skin and is absorbed through the bloodstream. The active ingredient in Revolution, selamectin, kills flea larvae and prevents their eggs from hatching.

Before applying Revolution, you should see a veterinarian. It must be given at least once a month until the season ends. You may need to administer a second dose about two weeks after the first application if the infestation is severe. To get the most effective results, you need to continue monthly dosing.
