You've started using Capstar for your cat's flea infestation, but you're concerned it might only target adult fleas without affecting the eggs, and you're looking for a comprehensive solution.
- Capstar is effective against adult fleas.
- It does not kill flea eggs or larvae.
- Consider using an additional product for a comprehensive approach.
Capstar is known for its rapid action against adult fleas, providing quick relief to your cat. However, it does not have the capability to eliminate flea eggs or larvae. To effectively break the flea lifecycle and ensure they don't return, it is a good idea to combine Capstar with another product that targets eggs and larvae, such as a topical flea treatment or an environmental insect growth regulator. This comprehensive approach will help you manage and eventually eliminate the flea problem in your home.
