  1. We had a bad flea problem last month. We treated our house and treated our kittens with frontline. I have not seen any fleas in the house, and not on the cats either. This was all about 2 weeks ago...
    Today I was petting them and I lifted up their chin and saw fleas? Maybe 5 or 6 of them. I looked on their bellies and didn't see any, but around the head I did. I am confused, I thought that frontline would get rid of all the fleas...especially on the cats.
    Any ideas on why this is happening, I thought I took all the necessary step to removing them from my kittens and my house?

    Thanks!

  3. You'll want to talk with your vet. You may require more than a month or two of treatment in order to ensure the lifecycle is broken, and that re-infestation is not occurring.

    (Breaking the lifecycle, expense, and toxicity are the reasons why I use diatomaceous earth instead.)
