Frontline

Frontline is a line of products for the treatment and prevention of fleas and control of ticks on pets - mostly dogs and cats. It is manufactured by Merial - a large animal health company. There the are following products:

* Frontline Plus
* Frontline Topspot
* Frontline Spray

It is a liquid that is applied monthly to an animal’s back to protect pets from fleas and ticks. Once Frontline is applied, it is absorbed into the animal’s skin. The insecticide, Fipronil is then secreted in the animal’s hair follicle, and dissolves in the natural skin and hair oils that cover the fur. Frontline is the #1 selling flea and tick medicine for dogs and cats in the world

A method of protecting your whole property - Damminix - may also be cited in this category. It consists of biodegradable cardboard tubes stuffed with permethrin-treated cotton and works in the following way: Mice collect the cotton for lining their nests. The pesticide on the cotton kills any immature ticks that are feeding on the mice. It is important to put the tubes where mice will find them, such as in dense, dark brush or at the base of a log; mice are unlikely to gather the cotton from an open lawn. Best results are obtained with regular applications early in the spring and again in late summer.The more neighbors who also use Damminix, the better. Damminix appears to help control tick populations, particularly in the year following initial use.
