The Vectra Pro spray used directly on cats has Dinotefuran .46% as its only active ingredient. Alpine PT Insecticide aerosol lists Dinotefuran .5% as its only active ingredient. So why is the Alpine PT unsafe to spray on the cat? Is The shelter (Friendship APL) cannot afford to treat 100 to 150 cats with topical flea treatments! Can the Alpine PT be sprayed in the cat's living area and dry for an hour or more while the cat is out of its living area? Will that work?
PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol should NOT be applied when anyone is present (including the cats). Once the treated surfaces are completely dried, it will be safe for their return. The product is not labeled safe for applications on pets even if the active is the same as other products. The inert ingredients could be the reason it is unsafe as well as manufacturer testing results.
