Hi I have tried a bob Martin spot in for my 6 month old kitten and it hasn’t really worked and I was wondering if there were any good spot on products in the UK I could use to get rid of these fleas?

There are several topical preparations that may work for you and Milo. These include Frontline, Effipro, Advocate or Advantage. Find them in pet stores or from your veterinarian. Ideally, you should treat Milo for at least three consecutive months, preferably year round. You will also need to treat the environment. Vacuum everywhere he has been and empty the canister or dispose of the bag outside immediately after. Wash all bedding in the hottest water allowable by fabric. Use a cat safe area treatment to prevent reinfestation.
