How quickly does FRONTLINE flea and tick protection kill parasites?
When it comes to pet flea control supplies, FRONTLINE products are
best of breed. Our research shows FRONTLINE for dogs and cats will
kill 100% of your pet's fleas within 18 hours and kills 100% of
your pet's ticks within 48 hours of application.
Do fleas and ticks have to bite my pet for FRONTLINE to work?
No. FRONTLINE supplies your pet with protection if fleas simply come into contact with your pet's coat within the post-application time periods mentioned above.
I just applied FRONTLINE, but I still see active fleas. Why?
Fipronil, an active ingredient of FRONTLINE, works by blocking stabilizing ions in the neurons of invertebrates like fleas. Without the stabilizing ions, the fleas die from hyperstimulation. This means that the fleas may become slightly more active just before they die. However, you should rest assured that this is a sign that FRONTLINE is working.
I treated my pet with FRONTLINE, but I still see fleas in my home. Why?
The fleas you see may have hatched from flea eggs that were laid before you began using FRONTLINE for dogs and cats. Regular application of FRONTLINE flea and tick protection to your pet will break the flea's life cycle.
How does FRONTLINE kill fleas before they can lay eggs on my pet?
An adult flea must be present on your pet for at least 24 to 36
hours before it can lay eggs. Our research indicates that FRONTLINE
will kill your pet's fleas within 18 hours of application--before
the fleas can lay eggs.
