Hi, and thanks for your question. A spot on treatment such Advantage is a good flea treatment, and can be used in kittens as young as 1 month old. They are applied once a month every month. You can get it from your vet clinic. Supermarket flea treatments are not as strong as ones you get from your vet, and will not give the best results.
