Effective flea control starts with understanding a little about flea biology and then using proven methods to disrupt flea development. Currently the most effective flea and tick control combination is Frontline Top Spot applied on the pet and a separate spray of the insect growth regulator methoprene to the pet's bedding. There is no need to treat for fleas outdoors.
I prefer Frontline Top Spot because it offers both flea and tick protection, it is available for both dogs and cats, it is non-systemic, and is relatively water resistant. The other flea medications don't combine all these attributes in a single application. While Frontline Plus adds methoprene to the basic ingredient in Frontline Top Spot I prefer to keep these two treatments separate because methoprene works better when applied off the animal.
