Yes, fleas can develop a resistance to certain insecticides over time, but it’s not always the reason a topical flea product appears to stop working.
The bigger problem you might be having are fleas that are living off your pet. Fleas often fall from pets into carpets and bedding. Outdoors, they might be living in shady areas of your yard, underneath your deck or porch, or other protected spaces, where immature fleas develop into adults.
Once those fleas emerge, they could jump right back on your pet.
While your pet might be treated topically for fleas, the flea population around your Nashville area home could still be multiplying – and fast!
If you have been using topical flea prevention on your pet, we do not recommend discontinuing it without guidance from your veterinarian. If you’re still noticing fleas on your pet, it’s likely that there are established populations lurking across your property. Treating your pets alone won’t solve an outdoor flea problem.

Fleas and their eggs can be carried onto your property by all sorts of warm-blooded animals, including rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice, raccoons, opossums, and more.
