How long does it take to kill fleas?

They start dying within hours. The ones that touch your dog. The othet ones that are still in your home will be alive, so you have to do this shot a few months

Please note: Other buyers say they switched to Advantix. My vet was out of Frontline and only had Advantix so I bought it. My Bichon Frise was running around the house and crying all day and night after I applied it. Turned out it gave him a chemical burn, and had to be washed off with Dawn. Be careful when trying something new.

I am having the same issue as Cathy. Historically this product worked very effectively as both a preventive and treatment, and a few months ago we started hearing reports of fleas that had developed immunity. Then, all heck broke loose and a full-fledged infection happened with a dog that had used Frontline successfully for almost a decade. I am in Maryland. The Vet told us the same thing.

Hi Happy buyer, Frontline didn't kill the fleas on my dogs at all. The vet said the strand of fleas in Florida where I live are immune to Frontline. I'm switching to Advantage.

The active ingredient in Frontline is Fipronil to which fleas are very resistant. Just use advantage. It works everytime

I'm not sure, I think it is a couple of days. The garlic scent has to go out thru their skin. It's enough for the fleas & ticks but not so much that they smell bad to us.Our fleas are so bad this year w/ hardly anything working I'm not even sure how well they are working but I do think the dogs are better. I know I used them in the past w/ complete satisfaction. All I can say is try it & see if they work for you. Good luck!!

It works well on fleas if they come in contact with the sprayed moisture. I tested by capturing three fleas, putting them in a glass jar, and spraying a light mist into the jar. All 3 fleas died instantly on contact. The challenge is making sure they come in contact with the solution before it dries. I don't know if the dried solution will kill them.

My dogs have never had fleas. I've used Brewer'sYeast tabs on them since they were about two years old. They are now 11 and 10.

I'm using it on 3 barn cats. It usually lasts about a month depending, of course, on how bad the flea season is. Last year here, in Virginia, summer came in early & very hot, so it was every 3 weeks. This year, we have yet to see any extended heat, so they have gone almost 6 weeks without noticable discomfort.

I have not used it on fleas however it should work. It's does on great job on spiders and other pest in the yard and around the house.

I'd imagine that if you can see the fleas this should kill them on contact. This is the only thing that works. I needed it for carpet. Fleas kept cycling. This the only thing that works.

We just rubbed it generously in their fur. especially in the neck area. Give them a good bath and completely dry them first. You'll want to apply it to carpets and furniture as well. It's not a "quick fix" but it'll keep working as long as it's being used. DE works by getting under the exoskeleton of fleas and cutting them. It also works as a drying agent, drying them out, killing them. Good luck!

yes, spray before walks and at bed time. And does take time for the fleas too die.

No, this doesn't work hardly at all. Bought 2 for our two dogs and it didn't get rid of any fleas.

it depends on how you are using it : For Use for Dogs and Cats: Shake well before each use. To kill fleas, ticks and lice, thoroughly mix 1/2 oz (1 tablespoon) of dip with 1 gallon of warm water. For outdoor animals in areas of severe infestations, 2 oz (4 tablespoons) per gallon may be used. Make fresh solution daily. If animal's coat is very dirty, bathe first with an Adams shampoo. Dip should be applied to dry or damp (not wet) coat. Sponge or dip animal with diluted dip making sure all areas are soaked to the skin. Let dip dry on animal. Do not rinse off! Repeat treatment every 7 days if necessary. - it depends on how you are using it : For Use for Dogs and Cats: Shake well before each use.

This doesn't work to kill fleas or flies, but I found a product here on Amazon that does a pretty good job. Permethrin: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UUZ3OI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 I've used it a few times when I plan on outdoor barbeques. Not a single insect bothers my guests with this stuff. However, I should note that it needs to be reapplied often (weekly perhaps).

a few days. If you have cats make sure they have on flea meds let them run threw the house and any strays will jump on the and die. I use advantage for cats front line for my dogs. they all does in less than a week. I also put seven dust in my vacuum cleaner just to be sure he he

It seems like the fleas started disappearing immediately. After about two weeks the fleas were completely gone. And we had at least five cats, several that went outside a lot, at that time. I know it's a good trick, but did you get the Fleabuster fairly evened out in all your floors where the fleas were (and did you use a push broom to spread out the dust?) We're not sure what flea control we were using at that time (especially after we found out that the manufacturers had removed the active ingredient that would spread throughout the cats' body to kill the infestation.) That's about all we know. Good luck. It seems like the fleas started disappearing immediately. After about two weeks the fleas were completely gone.

Understand, this product is designed for inside use, period! It is also designed to work over a 7 month period of time. There is no need to spray each week. At most, once every 3 - 4 months. It is also designed to be mixed with a pesticide for knock down of adulr and juvinile fleas. Any questions, just ask. I am a former professional Pest Control Tech.

It will kill fleas but be aware you can not spray carpet or furniture. You can also use this to spray your yard.

About 15 to 20. I have a short hair and a medium hair and it is very effective in trapping the fleas.
