How does Revolution
work?
Immature
stages of the flea called pupae may be
present in your pets’ environment (yard,
flooring, carpet, bedding, etc.). These
pupae are not killed by parasiticides
(including Revolution) and as such may
emerge as adult fleas. These adult fleas
may hop onto your pet at anytime. They
must be exposed to Revolution on your
dog or cat before being killed. It can
take from 3–5 weeks (or longer depending
on environmental conditions) for most
fleas to complete their 4-stage life
cycle (egg, larvae, pupae, and adult)
and reach the adult stage before being
seen on your pet. Due to the presence of
immature flea stages in infested
environments, it can take up to 2 to 3
monthly applications for Revolution to
maximally control the infestation of
fleas in the environment. Once the flea
population is controlled you will be
less likely to see fleas.
