Frontline spot on kills the fleas on your cat or dog because it contains a powerful insecticide known as Fipronil. When you apply it to the back of your pet\u2019s neck, the natural oils in their skin work to spread it all around their body. Fipronil is bad news for fleas and it kills them very quickly.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-long-does-frontline-spot-on-take-to-work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_Frontline_spot_on_take_to_work\"><\/span>How long does Frontline spot on take to work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Original Frontline Spot On<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to use and it kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Frontline_spot_on_work\"><\/span>How does Frontline spot on work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Frontline Spot On is applied externally to your pet\u2019s skin on the back of the neck.
