Benefits Of Frontline Cat Flea Treatment

Frontline Plus is a monthly topical cat flea treatment. To be fully effective the product must be placed onto the skin of your pet. On contact with the skin the active ingredients are circulated across the whole body via the sebaceous glands. It is usual to apply the product between the shoulder blades as this is somewhere the cat will not have access too, thus preventing him form removing the cat flea medicine.

Frontline Cat Safety

Frontline Plus uses two active ingredients; fipronil and methoprene. Both come from a new generation of pest control products which though lethal to insects and some other invertebrates are harmless for mammals. While both bond easily with the insect's nervous system they are unable to bond with that of a mammal so therefore have no affect upon animals. Unless ingested in vast quantities there have been no results to show any danger to animals using Frontline.

Frontline Flea Power

Frontline cat flea drops destroy fleas at three different life stages. The methoprene is a growth inhibitor which halts the development of flea eggs and larvae. Unable to grow both quickly die. Fipronil overstimulates the adult fleas so they quickly die too. A huge benefit to using Frontline is that it also kills ticks which in some areas may be a problem for domestic pets.

Frontline Speed

This isn't the fastest acting cat flea medicine on the market but it still cannot be called slow! Within 24 hours 98-100% of fleas coming into contact with your pet will be dead. All ticks are destroyed within 24 to 48 hours.

Longer Lasting Flea Control

Frontline Plus will control flea and tick problems for at least a month. In reality this protection can last for up to ten weeks. On average customers report between 6 to 10 weeks of consistent flea control when using this cat flea treatment. This is the only brand of flea drops able to offer such long-lasting protection. Because it starts killing fleas within a few hours of being used, it is simple to leave your cats next dose until you see signs of flea activity re-occurring.

Benefits with Frontline Plus

There are two main reasons to use this cat flea medicine. First of all, a huge benefit for many cat owners is that it fights ticks as well as all stages of fleas. Secondly, because it often will remain effective for much longer than a month it can work out more cost effective than other brands of cat flea treatment.
