Here's the info:

It doesn't work straight away, but within a few days they should be gone. You did put it at the back of his neck I hope.

Don't bath him again. Get some 'Raid' (the red one) and spray that over your carpets and down the back of sofa's, it won't harm anything. Do this every other day.

That and the Spot-on should do the trick but it will not happen overnight. It's an annoying problem but just one you have to put up with now and then if you have pets. Front-line is the best.

Front-line does work, and very well, but takes a little time. Hang on in there.

Tesco's, Sainsbury's etc. It's better than any flea spray for the carpet. I have always had animals so have faced the problem a lot.

You have to treat carpets etc, as they hide there.

frontline worked for a couple of weeks then they appeared again i just have to do the cats and dog every couple of weeks

Years ago seeing an odd flea, we used to catch them with a bar of soap as once they stick to it they cant fly off. Agree about the Frontline being good but we bought the carpet stuff and used it at the same time as well as the cat treatment and it cleared them completely!
