Frontline how does it work

Once new adult fleas jump on your pet, they must be present on the host for at least 24 to 36 hours before they can lay eggs. How long after application can my pet be bathed or go swimming? After application, keep the dog or cat from getting wet until the application area appears dry, usually 24 hours. However, it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours between applications.

FRONTLINE Plus is a convenient once-a-month topical product offering long-lasting, complete control for adult fleas, flea eggs and larvae, and all four major species of ticks. It is not recommended for use on other species. Individual sensitivities, while rare, may occur after using any pesticide product. If signs persist, or become more severe within a few days of application, consult your veterinarian immediately.

Step one: Duct-tape a bunch of different weapons together. Step two: Destroy the infestation at every life stage, from egg to queen.

Frontline Plus gets it. Applied monthly, Frontline Plus should free you from using the nuclear option—flea baths. Fluffy and Spot can thank the French for the end of weekly flea baths. Fipronil works by damaging the nervous system of fleas and ticks while S-Methoprene helps prevent flea eggs from hatching. It also contains inert chemicals which bind these two chemicals together.

Frontline plus should be applied once every month to help kill all fleas and ticks. Now, when a flea or tick comes in contact with the Fipronil-covered fur, its nerve cells are damaged because of the poison. Fipronil particularly affects receptors that receive signals that keep the nervous system of ticks and fleas relaxed. Because of the insecticide, the nervous system becomes hyperactive, and the ticks die within 30 minutes.

Ticks fall off before they can lay eggs; however, a female flea can lay almost 50 eggs in a day. Frontline Plus does not contain high enough concentrations of Fipronil to get rid of all the fleas; hence S-Methoprene comes into play. S-Methoprene does not harm your pet but works by seeping into the flea eggs. It acts as a hormone and prevents the flea from reaching its next developmental stage, thus killing it. Frontline Plus for dogs should only be used for dogs and puppies older than 8 weeks.
