Well Frontline kills fleas after they bite! It doesn't repel fleas from biting in the first place.
So most likely if they are scratching and you see no fleas, they are scratching the bites.
There are anti-itch sprays that work well. I use
Dog Products | Veterinarian's Best: All-Natural Products for your pets' health. the Flea Itch Relief spray on my girl and it works really well for her. If you don't see any fleas I wouldn't use Dawn soap (I'd only use it if there are tons of fleas crawling around), but that's just my opinion.
