Frontline Spot On Flea Drops - Cats Kittens 6Pk

I am putting this feedback up having had a long battle with fleas with a cat that brought them with her as a kitten when we bought her.

After 18 months of carefully applying Frontline at no more than 3 week intervals and also using a whole range of other sprays, smoke bombs, hoovering etc around the house, it finally started to occur to us that although the hoovering and sprays etc were reducing the numbers a little, the Frontline was not having any effect - to the point that after 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, 3 weeks etc after applying it there was no apparent reduction in the number of fleas on the cat. I was combing her head to toe every day and there was simply no reduction - 20-40 fleas each day regardless of when the Frontline was applied.

The cat does not go out of the house (urban location, her choice, doesn't seem very interested in the concrete yard outside) and there are no other animals in the house so there is absolutely no way there is an external source of fleas.

Having read that it was not possible for fleas to be immune to Frontline, we persevered, but finally two weeks ago concluded that there must be an immunity.

I have now obtained another, very similar product which can be bought online from the USA or Australia at approximately the same price as Frontline. I won't identify the brand, its not that difficult to work out, and I don't wish for this review to be mistaken for a marketing ploy. It has a different active ingredient but is applied exactly the same way. Two weeks on, I have been combing her every day but have yet to find a single flea.

I am sure Frontline will work well in the majority of cases but this is such a clear cut case demonstrating that some sort of immunity must be possible, that I wanted to post this review to help others with what can be a very frustrating problem.

Superb product. Effective at preventing and also getting rid of fleas/ticks. Do not be bought in by the products you can buy at supermarkets; the strenght of these is much weaker and in my experience these prove to be inadequate in prevention or removal of fleas. Frontline is 100% effective and I use nothing else on my cats.

Bought it a while ago, but i remember it being significantly cheaper than buying off pets at home or the vets. 6 pack is really convenient when you have 2 or 3 cats because it means it will last you 2/3 months, Rather than buying them seperately each month :)
