It would seem that the particular effect of the Lufenuron is somewhat affected by the dosage the female flea takes up greater in the first 2 weeks of treatment with greater doses increasing the chance of the flea larvae dying within the egg. The study found good control of flea eggs and larvae for 44 days after the cat was dosed. Thus, the monthly dosing regimen recommended for Program Flea Control should be effective. Program Flea Control with Lufenuron as the active ingredient does not kill adult fleas.
A study published by the Journal of Medical Entomology, confirmed this. Lufenuron was given to cats and no effect was noted in the adult Ctenocephalides fleas feeding off the flea treated cats. The eggs and larvae produced by these fleas, however, suffered huge mortality failure of hatching and death of hatched larvae during the first molt.
From a treatment perspective, it is important for owners to understand this. If you give your pet Program Flea Control, you should not expect to see dead fleas laying around the place. The product simply doesn't kill adult fleas and failure to see dead fleas is therefore not a suggestion that the product is not working.
If you continue to use Program Flea Treatment Lufenuron monthly and for long enough, however, you will start to see adult fleas disappear significantly from your home as the flea life cycle becomes crippled no viable eggs or larvae coming out of Lufenuron-affected adult fleas.
Failure of egg hatching and larval development eventually results in no adult fleas hatching out of the environment and thus flea control is eventually achieved. A study published by the Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, showed this. Dogs and cats in a flea-introduced environment were given Program flea control on a monthly basis and at the doses recommended by the Novartis Company the doses that the Program flea control packet recommends.
By the end of the study day 91 after the Program flea treatment was first given , adult flea populations were observed to be absent to 'very low'. It should be said that the environment that was used in this study possibly didn't have a well-established flea population i. In environments with a heavy flea burden already present, adult fleas will continue to hatch from cocoons for up to a year or more and so, although the Program flea control will be most effective at stopping these newly emerged fleas from laying viable eggs, you will still keep seeing the odd adult flea running across your pet for many months until all the cocoons already present in the carpet have hatched out or dessicated.
