| Frontline works the best. Other than that I have tried Adams spray which only kills the adult fleas that you see and the effect doesn't last. Our flea problem virtually disappeared with frontline. Occasionally we will see a few on her, but the vet said it takes 18 hours for the fleas to die once they come in contact with her fur. When I can't wait for that to happen I bathe her in dish soap to kill them. It works great. |

| Fleas You may need to exterminate them in your home! If he has that many, chances are they are in your home. Just killing them on him is not enough. I know they used to use bombs. I don't know if you can still buy them. Ask your vet! Then, after that, use a flea treatment monthly. Must be used religiously! I personally use Advantage and I never have problems with fleas.
