How Fast Does Frontline Kill Fleas?
Frontline Plus is an insecticide that affects the nervous system of fleas and ticks. It is applied between the shoulder blades of your dog and spreads throughout the body over 24 hours, killing fleas that come into contact with it. Its main ingredient, methoprene, inhibits the development of flea eggs and larvae. It kills fleas without harming your dog or cat, so you can rest assured that your pet is flea-free.
In fact, Frontline Plus is the most effective flea and tick product on the market. It works fast, killing fleas and ticks in as little as 18 hours. It is especially effective against the lone star tick, American dog tick, brown dog tick, and deer tick. It can also help prevent the transmission of Lyme disease to humans.
The Frontline flea treatment works by killing adult fleas. Healthy fleas are too fast to be caught. The product also works by preventing fleas from jumping back onto your pet. The best flea prevention is to regularly wash the bedding of your pet and its surroundings. This will keep flea eggs and larvae from hatching and will prevent them from entering the home.
However, Frontline can’t eradicate the whole problem. Even though it kills adult fleas on contact, the fleas may still jump onto your pet every time it visits a flea-ridden area. This can be a very unnerving experience for the untrained eye.
