Quick verdict: for most NZ cats, an all-in-one like Revolution Plus is the simplest way to cover fleas and worms in one go. On a budget, Advantage knocks fleas down fast and cheap. Remember: fleas mostly live in your home, so treat the environment too.

How to actually get rid of fleas

  1. Treat the cat with a vet-recommended product (above).
  2. Treat the home — vacuum, hot-wash bedding, use a household flea spray.
  3. Comb to check, and re-treat on schedule so they can't come back.

FAQs

Most spot-on treatments are monthly; some (like Bravecto) last up to three months. Treat year-round in warmer parts of NZ — fleas don't fully die off over winter indoors.
Many products have a minimum age and weight. Always check the label and ask your vet for very young kittens.
Around 95% of a flea problem lives in your home, not on the cat. Treat the environment (vacuum, wash bedding, household spray) as well as the pet.
