I takes about a week to work completely.

However, if your pets had fleas, it is invevitable that your house has fleas as well. You will need to flea bomb your house. You can buy them at your local dollar store or pet store. But you and your pets must leave your house while you're doing it because it is toxic if breathed in.

Keep in mind that if you just vacuum and do not flea bomb, there will still be flea eggs in your carpet. They can cling onto your carpet and even resist the strongest vacuum so you will not only need to flea bomb, you will need to wash all of your pets bedding, yours too, and your clothes in hot water. Once you've gotten everything washed and once you've flea bombed, you will need to vacuume. Twice in one day.

Then buy your pets a flea collar. And keep in mind that you will probably have to use frontline again in about 6 months.

Buy a flea shampoo as well and whenever you give your dog a bath, use the flea shampoo even if they don't have fleas!
Yes it works, it takes about a full week to get rid of all the fleas and you cant bathe your cat. I like to use advantage b/c it starts working that day, you can see them falling off dead. Then you need to vacum every two days for a week.
Read the paper that comes in the box. The fleas don't instantly disappear. The fleas that are on your pet can't survive on him anymore, and will eventually die.
I got front line 4 my 2 chauas and by the next day they was gone u didn't say if they was inside dogs or outsidedogs mine is inside dogs if they stay out they are exposed more 2 fleas %26 ticks front line is the best i know of a frind
Flea treatments are usually to prevent fleas not to get rid of them. I buy exelpet and it actually tells you that at the back. If your pet has fleas I would take them to the vet and after the problem is fixed use the flea treatment every three months. My one has a sticker that you can put on your calender so you rememeber to give your pet a flea treatment in three months. My treatment is really easy to use. It is a little tube. You part the hair on the back of the cats neck so you can see the skin and then squeeze the whole contents of the tube. They can't lick it off there either.
