Frontline plus spot on will kill fleas and inhibits development of flea larvae and eggs. Unfortunately there is no pill that will kill fleas and eggs as well. The best way to get rid of fleas and eggs and larvae is as follows: Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. Flea products: Spot-ons and/or chews Advantage, Advantix Advantage Multi (Advocate in the UK) Frontline (ticks as well) Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats, in tablet form for dogs Simparica, Nexgard Revolution (stronghold in the UK) Tablets: comfortis (will only kill fleas once) Collar: Seresto (ticks as well) Usually these products will kill fleas before they can lay eggs.

Flea powder isn't terribly effective in stopping and preventing fleas. It would be best to try and use a topical or oral flea medication that is both designed to kill fleas and eggs on the body, and prevent them from returning, as well as to thoroughly vacuum and clean all bedding/areas your pets frequent. If you're looking for something to quickly kill fleas and ticks, there are flea shampoos available, however be sure to read the instructions carefully as the medications used on dogs can be harmful and toxic to cats. A safer alternative is to use something such as Dawn dish soap to kill fleas on the body and then use a fine-toothed or flea comb to remove them, then switch to a safe topical treatment.
