It's understandable to feel concerned if you've noticed flea bites after applying Revolution to your cat. It's possible that the treatment may take some time to fully eliminate fleas.
- Revolution typically starts killing fleas within 12 hours of application.
- Flea bites may still occur as fleas die and are cleared from your cat's environment.
- If the problem persists, there may be other factors to consider, including reinfestation.
Revolution is designed to kill adult fleas soon after they come into contact with the treated pet. It's important to ensure the product has been applied correctly and to consider treating your home environment as well. While the medication begins to act within hours, visible results may take a little longer as it works to break the flea life cycle. Consistent monthly treatment is key to preventing a recurrence. If issues continue, other potential sources of fleas or additional health considerations for your cat might need to be explored.
