Frontline is a preventative only. In order to kill the pre-existing fleas, you need to use a product called capstar that your vet should carry. Give capstar every other day for a few days to your pets in conjunction with a flea preventative and that should help.
Also, try using something other than Frontline since the fleas in your area have an obvious immunity to it. I like Revolution. Advantage is another option. If your vet doesn't carry it, call around until you find one that does.
ALSO, if you vacuum...buy a flea collar and throw it in the vacuum bag. It should help kill any fleas living in the rugs/floors.

The flea collar in the vacuum thing doesn't work anymore. Fleas are immune to the flea collars. I only wish they still worked.
I've heard Revolution has caused seizures in pets
My parents use it on the cat.....and maybe the dog too I don't know. But they use it on someone (brother perhaps?)
On that one survey Becky posted, they asked what you would un-invent....
I take back my answer of the TV and I want to un-invent fleas.

i just wanted to let you know what i use to treat fleas for ALL of my dogs and rescues.
frontline and flea drops arent perm. treatments and they are also poisonous at times.
there is a flea spray you can but at pets mart,petco etc
its called sergents general flea spray and works instantly. its made of oils from pepermint and corn oils and 100% organic and it wont poison the dogs either.
you can also go to any vet and get a pill for fleas...it cost about $6 each pill and kills all eggs and fleas and keeps them gone for 3 months
hope this helps
if you need anymore help pm me!
