Does Frontline Kill Stick Tight Fleas?

Does Frontline Kill Stick Tight Fleas?

Although Frontline does kill stick tight fleas on cats and dogs (always contact a veterinarian, though), you can't take that approach with your chickens.

How do you treat stick tight fleas?

Sticktight fleas can be removed with tweezers by grasping and pulling firmly. An antibiotic ointment should be applied to the area to prevent infection. If fleas are too numerous to remove individually, a flea product registered for on-animal use should be applied according to label instructions.

Does Frontline kill fleas immediately?

If you've treated your pet with FRONTLINE Spot On or FRONTLINE Plus those fleas will die within 24 hours, and so will have few opportunities to lay eggs (egg laying normally starts 24 hours after feeding), helping you control the infestation in your home.
