What are flea pills for cats?

Flea pills are tablets that reverse flea infestations in domestic felines. A common type of flea pill does not kill adult fleas, but it attacks the flea larvae. This prevents the fleas from reproducing and stops the infestation.

Flea pills are an excellent flea control method because they do not use any traditional insecticides. Products that contain insecticides, such as flea powders and shampoos, can pose a risk to the cat's health. Flea pills typically work by spreading the medication throughout the cat's blood stream. When the adult flea ingests the cat's blood, it produces larvae that do not grow into mature fleas.
