The new Smart Shield Applicator is specially designed to make applying flea and tick control easier, more precise - and neater - than ever before. You simply insert the appropriate tube for your cat/kitten into the applicator, close it and squeeze to apply. The applicator's ergonomic, contoured shape makes it easy to grip and a built-in fin helps to spread the cat's/kitten's hair to allow the liquid to more readily reach the skin. The tube is sealed inside, so you can be confident that the liquid goes onto your cat/kitten - and not your hand.
Bio Spot Defense Flea & Tick Spot On for Cats provides relief from flea infestations for up to 30 days by killing adult fleas and flea eggs on your cat or kitten.
This product is most effective when used as part of a total flea and tick management program. Use other Bio Spot products registered for residential area control of these pests in conjunction with this treatment. Monthly treatments are required for optimal control and prevention of fleas.
The successive feeding activity of fleas on cats may elicit a hypersensitivity skin disorder known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Treatment of cats with this product rapidly kills fleas and may reduce the incidence of this condition.
Directions for Use: It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read and follow all directions and precautions on this product label.
Use Restrictions: This product contains multiple monthly dosages. Do not apply more than once every month. Do not use more than one tube per cat. Do not get this product in your cat's eyes or mouth. Do not allow your cat to ingest this product. Do not apply to cats weighing less than 5 lbs.
BioSpot Defense Flea & Tick Spot On for Cats works by application directly to the cat's/kitten's skin, not to the hair. When applying, use applicator device tip to push aside cat's/kitten's hair to allow direct application to the skin. Do not get this product in cat's/kitten's eyes or mouth.
For Cats & Kittens (5 lbs and over only)
To apply this product, use one disposable liquid tube for each application with the applicator device. Do not use more than one vial per cat.
- OPEN - Use finger scoop to lift open door.
- LOAD - To load, place tube WHITE SIDE UP under the pink tabs.
- CLOSE - Close the pink door and the tube will snap open.
- APPLY - The cat/kitten should be standing for easy application. To apply, use tip to part hair and get next to cat's/kitten's skin at the base of the skull. Press square on pink door and squeeze out the entire contents of the tube onto the cat's/kitten's skin. Do not spread this product by hand over the cat/kitten. Although the cat's/kitten's skin and hair oils will naturally distribute the application over the entire cat/kitten, brushing the cat/kitten 12-24 hours after treatment will help to distribute the material over the skin.
- DISPOSE - To dispose of empty tube, open pink door and drop empty tube into trash or offer for recycling if available. Close applicator device door and store in original package.
- RETREAT AFTER 30 DAYS - Do not reapply product for 30 days. Do not treat more than once per month.
