One thing that works fast and great is Capstar (pill from vet), but it only kills live fleas on him now, and nothing for future.

When Frontline became ineffective on my dogs, and I got tired of the residue of spot treatments, I switched to Comfortis pill. Luckily I haven't had to use anything for almost 2 years.
Glad you showed up with this info. Smart girl living in paradise!!
