Generic
Name:
fipronil
Brand
Name(s): Frontline Flea Spray
Indications:
FRONTLINE Spray is a quick and effective way of eliminating large
flea and tick infestations already on your pet. It's perfect for
reducing and controlling fleas and ticks in multi-pet households.
FRONTLINE Spray can be used on dogs and cats eight weeks of age
or older.
How
Frontline Flea Spray Should Be Used: Wear household latex
gloves. Hold bottle in upright position. Ruffle the animal's coat
with one hand while applying spray mist to the animal's back, sides,
stomach, legs, shoulders and neck. For head and eye area, spray
FRONTLINE on a gloved hand and rub gently into animal's hair. Do
not get this product in your pet's eyes or mouth.
Apply spray
mist until animal's hair is damp to thoroughly wet. Approximately
1 to 2 pumps per pound of the animal's body weight will be required.
Pets with long or dense coats will require the higher rate.
As with any
flea control product, wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with
soap and water after use. To prevent flea build-up or reinfestation,
use FRONTLINE prior to the onset of flea season and monthly thereafter.
Ticks do not need to receive spray directly upon their bodies for
complete control. Do not reapply FRONTLINE for 30 days.
