People in the UK: share your experience of flea treatments for your pets | Pets A study has found that songbird chicks are being killed by high levels of pesticides, found in pet flea treatments, in the pet fur used by their parents to line their nests. Researchers found that 100% of the 103 blue and great tit nests lined with fur that were collected contained fipronil, which is banned in the UK and EU for agricultural use, and 89% contained imidacloprid, which was banned in the EU as a plant protection product in 2018. Both are still widely used in pet flea treatments. We would like to hear about pet owners’ experiences of flea treatments. What has your vet recommended and have you tried any alternatives?
