📋How to Use Flea & Tick
For Cats (12 weeks or older):
1
Shake Well
Shake the bottle before each use to activate the essential oils.
2
Hold 8-12 Inches Away
Position the spray nozzle approximately 8-12 inches from your cat.
3
Start at the Tail
Begin spraying at the tail and work toward your cat's torso.
4
Cover Everything
Treat your cat's entire coat especially the legs, tail, and underbody (where fleas love to hide).
5
Fluff the Fur
Fluff the hair backwards to help the spray penetrate through the coat down to the skin where the fleas are.
6
Let Coat Dry
Allow your cat's coat to fully dry before allowing them to groom themselves to minimize accidental ingestion.
7
Repeat as Needed
For active infestations, treat as often as needed especially since any flea eggs that were hanging around might've hatched.

Quick Setup (Takes About 5 Minutes)
What to Expect
First Treatment:
Fleas and ticks on your cat are eliminated when sprayed directly. But here's the thing - you might still see fleas over the next few days. That's totally normal and doesn't mean it's not working.
Week 1-2:
New fleas will keep popping up. Why? Because fleas have a 2-8 week lifecycle, and what you're seeing are new fleas hatching from eggs that were already in your home and were missed during spraying. Keep treating as directed - you're breaking the cycle even if it doesn't look like it yet.
Week 3-4:
Most people see way less flea activity by now. Stick with regular treatments to catch any remaining eggs or larvae.
Maintenance:
Once you've broken the cycle, continue treating as needed during flea season (spring through fall) to keep them from coming back. The plant-powered formula is gentle enough for regular use when protection is needed.
Why Environmental Treatment Matters
Fleas spend 95% of their lifecycle OFF your cat - in carpets, bedding, and furniture. Treating only your cat means you're missing 95% of the problem. Always treat both your cat AND where they hang out for complete control.
🔧Common Questions We Get
Here's what we've learned from helping thousands of cat owners:
Problem
Easy Fix
My cat is trying to groom right after spraying
Let your cat's coat dry completely before allowing them to groom. This minimizes how much they might ingest. The formula is plant-based and safe ⁺when used as directed, but it's best to let it dry first.
Fleas came back after a few days
This is completely normal. What you're seeing are new fleas hatching from eggs that were already in your home. It takes consistent treatment over several weeks to break the full lifecycle. Keep going - you're winning even if it doesn't look like it yet.
How often should I retreat?
For active flea problems: Treat as often as needed to stay on top of newly hatched fleas. The gentle formula is safe for regular use during heavy infestations. Focus on treating both your cat and their environment consistently.
Do I treat the house too or just my cat?
Both! Spray your cat's bedding as well as the carpets, furniture, cat trees, and anywhere your cat frequently hangs out. Fleas lay eggs around your environment. Missing this step is why treatments often "fail."
Can I use this in the litter box area?
Yes! The fresh lemongrass scent actually helps naturally deodorize litter box areas. Just spray around the litter box (not in the litter itself) to help control fleas and freshen the space.
My cat is sensitive - is this safe?
This formula is specifically designed for cats using cat-safe essential oils like cedarwood and lemongrass. However, every cat is different. Monitor your cat during and after application. If you see any signs of sensitivity, consult your vet.
❓Your Questions Answered
Is this safe for cats? What makes it different from dog products?

Yes, Flea & Tick is specifically formulated to be safe for cats and kittens 12 weeks or older. Unlike some dog flea products that can be toxic to cats, this uses cat-safe essential oils including cedarwood, rosemary, geranium, lemongrass, and thyme. Never use dog flea products on cats - always use products specifically designed for felines.

What's in BugMD Flea & Tick for cats?

This plant-powered formula uses a blend of natural essential oils including cedarwood oil, rosemary oil, geranium oil, lemongrass oil, and thyme oil. These ingredients work together to kill and repel fleas and ticks on contact ⁺when used as directed while being gentle and safe for cats. It's free of harsh chemicals and traditional pesticides.

Do I need to mix this with water?

No! Flea & Tick comes ready to use in a 16 oz spray bottle. Just shake well before each use and apply directly. No mixing, no measuring - it's that simple.

How often should I reapply the product?

For active flea problems: Treat as often as needed to catch newly hatched fleas and break the lifecycle. For ongoing protection: Reapply when you notice flea activity returning, especially during flea season. The gentle formula is safe for use as needed to maintain protection.

Why do the fleas come back after treatment?

This is normal! Fleas have a 2-8 week lifecycle, and what you're seeing are new fleas emerging from eggs that were already in your environment. The product works immediately on contact ⁺when used as directed, but breaking the full cycle takes consistent treatment over several weeks to eliminate all life stages.

Do I need to treat my house too, or just spray my cat?

You need to treat both! Fleas spend 95% of their lifecycle OFF your cat - in carpets, bedding, cat trees, and furniture. Always spray the environment where your cat spends time. Treating only your cat misses most of the problem.

What does it smell like?

Flea & Tick has a fresh, clean lemongrass scent - a pleasant alternative to the chemical smell of traditional flea sprays. Many cat owners love that it helps naturally deodorize litter box areas and pet bedding while providing flea and tick protection.

Can I use this on kittens?

Yes, but only on kittens that are 12 weeks or older. Do not use on kittens under 12 weeks old. Always follow the age guidelines to ensure safe use for young cats.
