Let's talk about how Frontline Plus Works. Frontline Plus is a great flea and tick medication, it's used topically once a month. The way it works is, it's incorporated into oil glands, so when you place Frontline Plus on your pet, it is incorporated into those oil glands, and then by natural processes, the oil is spread throughout the skin within twenty four hours, by a process called trans location. So, therefore, those oil glands spread the product over the whole body. That's why you can place Frontline Plus right between the shoulder blades and within twenty four hours it will spread over the rest of the body. What Frontline does is a CNS, or central nervous system inhibitor for fleas, and so fleas on contact with Frontline Plus will die. The plus part of Frontline is methopryne, which is an insect growth regulator, and what this does is basically, stop larva production, and stop the production of eggs, thus breaking the cycle of the flea.
