Lufenuron was given to cats and no effect was noted in the adult Ctenocephalides fleas feeding off the flea treated cats. The eggs and larvae produced by these fleas, however, suffered huge mortality failure of hatching and death of hatched larvae during the first molt.
From a treatment perspective, it is important for owners to understand this. If you give your pet Program Flea Control, you should not expect to see dead fleas laying around the place. The product simply doesn't kill adult fleas and failure to see dead fleas is therefore not a suggestion that the product is not working. If you continue to use Program Flea Treatment Lufenuron monthly and for long enough, however, you will start to see adult fleas disappear significantly from your home as the flea life cycle becomes crippled no viable eggs or larvae coming out of Lufenuron-affected adult fleas.
Failure of egg hatching and larval development eventually results in no adult fleas hatching out of the environment and thus flea control is eventually achieved. A study published by the Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, showed this. Dogs and cats in a flea-introduced environment were given Program flea control on a monthly basis and at the doses recommended by the Novartis Company the doses that the Program flea control packet recommends.
By the end of the study day 91 after the Program flea treatment was first given , adult flea populations were observed to be absent to 'very low'.
It should be said that the environment that was used in this study possibly didn't have a well-established flea population i. In environments with a heavy flea burden already present, adult fleas will continue to hatch from cocoons for up to a year or more and so, although the Program flea control will be most effective at stopping these newly emerged fleas from laying viable eggs, you will still keep seeing the odd adult flea running across your pet for many months until all the cocoons already present in the carpet have hatched out or dessicated.
For dogs, there are Program flea control pills, an oral tablet form of flea control that is given monthly. For cats, there is a monthly Program flea control suspension that cats will take orally and, for the cat that hates oral medications, an injectable Lufenuron suspension which only needs to be given every six months.

For maximum oral absorption best effect , tablets should be given with the dog's meal or immediately afterwards within 30 minutes. If the meal is a bit fatty then uptake of the Lufenuron flea control medicine will be maximised. This is because the drug is lipophilic meaning that it is attracted to and binds with fat.
Lufenuron absorbs into the fat of the meal and from there into the dog's body by normal fat digestion mechanisms. All pets in the household should be treated at the same time with Program flea control products. Treatment should begin in Late Winter or Early Spring at the start of the flea season. Treatment can, however, start anytime fleas are noticed on our canine friends. Some people choose to give Lufenuron year-round, even if no fleas are observed.
