Re: Frontline and Fleas


I don't know if you have them where you live, but up here (south Cumbria) we get Harvest Mites, this is the time of year when they start to appear, they can be VERY irritating both to animals and humans. Check for what looks like orange pollen between toes, under collars, ears , etc, and if you find any the best idea is to go to the vet, I think there is now something that can either help/prevent the problem but not sure. In the past we have had to have the dogs/cats treated with steroids to suppress the itching. Some animals, like some people, are not affected at all. Logoes

Re: Frontline and Fleas


hi, not until this year, i use frontline pump spray from the vets , the best thing in my opinion is using a flea comb i give my five cats a quick comb twice a day. they love the fuss as they are all silly daft. i spray the house ,vac daily etc , but this year ive not known anything like this.

Have you checked how long it lasts? Some of them only last 1 month.

The weather doesn't help.

Re: Frontline and Fleas


All seems to have settled down now. Me being panicky I think. Still NEVER seen a flea so not sure what I would be looking for, but the cats seem ok.

Misty is still a little cow when I put the drops on. She shook them all off the last time!!
