Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend getting Mayor on a flea prevention from a veterinarian. These are given every 30 days and need to be used for at least 3 months. You must also treat all the pets in the home. The fipronil products are safe to use at home- just follow the instructions on the packaging. The most important treatment is treating Mayor monthly with a product from his vet. He is the source of the fleas. Kisses to Mayor!
