The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the animals. If the animal has
been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the ticks will be killed in the first 24-48
hours after attachment. This will usually be prior to engorgement, minimising but not
excluding the risk of transmission of diseases. Once dead, ticks will often drop off
the animal, but any remaining ticks may be removed with a gentle pull.
Fleas from pets often infest the animal's basket, bedding and regular resting areas
such as carpets and soft furnishings which should be treated, in case of massive
