Matt Williams Frontline works great. But maybe you should try also getting a insecticide spray for your yard that attaches to your hose. We have been doing this at our house and it seems to have solved the problem. I would also suggest a bug bomb for your house too. Good luck

Mike Castor Dawn soap and vinegar start with a ring around neck then wash body so the little suckers don't go up into eyes and ears

Polly Ketelsen I do 50/50 but also include baking soda. You may have to bug bomb the house to. We used to. Add the baking soda when ready to use... high school chemistry.

Destiny Murch-Larche yeah but you have to get rid of the source or its pointless to use frontline or baths. theyll keep comming back. if they arent in your house you need to focus on the yard and i hate to say it but pest control cant do everything its a regular maintnence of spraying your yard

Joann Bisnett That's a tough one. I would talk to your vet and see if there is a flea product that sterilizes the fleas as well as kills them so they can't reproduce. Dogs have one...not sure about cats. Good luck

Jason Beno Adams flea & ticket spray. It's amazing, used to use it all the time when we had flea problems.

Kathy Barnes My cats are indoor only. After being flea free for over 10 years, we brought a new cat in. Even though he was "quarantined" to a separate bed/bath (he was flea bathed and treated with Frontline), we got fleas. Fortunately, treated all cats with Frontline once and solved the problem. Our pest control company also treated the outside. I do not have interior pest control due to sensitivities (me and our cat Mo has asthma)

Reba McDonald Hansen I work for a pet supplies distributor and sell all brands of flea/tick. I would go to Sheldon Feed. They have a product called Petlock. It's a frontline generic. Works great and half the cost. Also, new product was launched last year called Seresto. It's a collar and is 100% safe around children - no smells, no oils. 8 month protection. One of my favorites. You also should try and spray your yard, not necessary if you are using a good flea product but it would help.

Jake-Kristin Brown Thank you i have been trying to find a collar to use on top of baths and treatment.

Reba McDonald Hansen Seresto is made by the same manufacturer as advantix. Honestly, you won't need to use any further treatment (baths or topical) with the collar. Robinsons in lodi is running a special now until the end of the month ($10 off)!

Terry Hodges I been there. Frontline is great stuff. Put some on the dogs go somewhere for the day and bomb all rooms in the house. Frontline works for 30 days and reapply. Fleas in yard will die as they jump back on the dogs. Keep up the regimen till fleas are gone

Joseph Wyatt We had fleas twice in the last couple years. We did topical treatments on the dogs and cats and had fast action pest control, spray, since we use them for other pests like spiders and stuff there is no extra charge for them to come out as many times as necessary. We only needed them once the last time.
