<\/a><\/p>\nSome Facts About Capstar!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nCapstar is a short term treatment to get rid of heavy flea infestation and it is meant to work for 24 hours only. If you have a complaint that it is ineffective after 24 hours, then you are unaware about the working of Capstar. This oral tablet has an ingredient, Nitenpyram that target adult fleas on the pet\u2019s body.<\/p>\n
Nitenpyram kills almost all adult <\/strong>fleas within 5-7 hours of administration. After 24 hours, this active ingredient is flushed out of the pet\u2019s body through natural processes. Thus, as the main component of Capstar stays inside the system only for 24 hours, you may need to administer another tablet the next day for continuous effectiveness.<\/p>\nIf Capstar is effective, why do I spot fleas on my pet?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nThis product from Novartis was introduced to deal with heavy flea infestations in short amount of time. It does not destroy the juvenile stages of fleas (eggs, larvae and pupae). Thus, these early stages of fleas grow to be adult fleas in the following days. So, the fleas that you see after the administration of Capstar are the newly hatched ones, and not those that were already there. To avoid the re-infestation, you may either need to administer Capstar every day, or follow its administration by a long-term parasite control which targets the early life-stages of fleas.<\/p>\n
What else you could do to get rid of fleas?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Following the administration of Capstar, apply a long term spot-on flea treatment (Frontline plus) or a tablet that eliminates the juvenile flea stages and blocks the probability of its re-infestation.<\/li>\n
- Buy a flea shampoo. Washing your pet with it will destroy the eggs of fleas, barring its further development into adult pests.<\/li>\n
- While you bathe your pet, don\u2019t make it a hasty business. Take your time so that the shampoo gets time to work on your flea ridden pet.<\/li>\n
- Flea comb has been the oldest method of dealing with external parasites. Use it for grooming your pet, especially after bathing him with flea shampoo.<\/li>\n
- Fleas tend to hide in any corner doing its business of laying eggs. Chores like regularly vacuuming the carpets, pet\u2019s bedding, sofas, etc. is important to get rid of juvenile flea stages.<\/li>\n
- Timely washing of your pet\u2019s stuff like bedding covers, pillow covers, or anything on which your pet sits or sleeps is essential for his healthy, flea-free living.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
