Will FRONTLINE Kill Existing Fleas?
The question many pet owners ask is, “Will FRONTLINE kill existing fleas?” The answer to that question varies depending on the species of fleas present in the environment and the pets. Some fleas are present in both the environment and pets, but some are only present in pets. In this case, the best way to eliminate them is by using a flea treatment that targets all areas of the environment.
Frontline is an effective flea repellent that kills adult fleas as well as larvae and eggs. It also prevents re-infestation on dogs and cats for up to six weeks. Unlike other flea treatments, Frontline is not toxic to pets and is unlikely to cause any adverse effects.
Despite the fact that Frontline is an over-the-counter flea treatment, it is important to follow instructions carefully and talk with your veterinarian if you think your pet is exposed to fleas. Even if Frontline kills existing fleas, it may not be enough to prevent new ones.
One of the most important aspects of a flea treatment is timing. Some products kill fleas immediately, while others take up to 24 hours to kill them. Fleas must come in contact with the ingredients of the product and then absorb the substance. That’s why it is recommended to apply the flea treatment every two weeks or so to prevent new ones from developing.
