Frontline plus: A perspective for killing flea and ticks

Frontline Plus is able to act as a very fast as well as an effective and convenient treatment in terms of killing fleas and ticks on your pets. It can prevent the infestations in large numbers by killing the adult fleas, the larvae and the flea eggs. Not only that, this flea and tick preventive also prevents all stages of the existing fleas, be it the eggs, larvae or the pupae from fully developing into an adult flea thus, preventing the chance of developing serious diseases such as flea allergy dermatitis.

As for ticks, this tick and flea and tick control is very effective in killing all stages of the American Dog tick, the lone star tick, the brown dog tick and the deer tick which is considered to be the major carrier Lyme disease and at the same time controls and prevents re-infestations.

Frontline plus active ingredients

This flea and tick control contain fipronil as well as an insect growth regulator known as S-methoprene.
