This is interesting. To me anyway.
I treated all three adult cats with frontline plus before bringing Queen Eva home, knowing how bad her flea infestation was. Until she had her capstar and kitten revolution, she lived in my bathroom for 24 hours, and I took every precaution for preventing tracking any fleas or flea eggs out of there.
I'm sure it was inevitable that I brought out some, but since every cat is treated, it is not going to be a problem, because as any eggs hatch, the fleas will jump on a cat and be killed.
This morning I found myself absently scratching a bite on my leg, kind of a funny looking bite, so I looked it up and it appears it is a flea bite. Not ten minutes after I found the bite, I found a dead flea on the bathroom floor. So after that flea bit me, if must have jumped on one of the cats and met it's death, LOL.
All the cats will be treated again with frontline plus Tuesday September 14. I figure that should take care of any eggs left from her first day that may hatch/are hatching. By the time that 30 day dose is wearing thin it will be getting colder here and fleas will no longer be an issue.
I've noticed some uncharacteristic scratching today but even if a flea does live long enough to produce eggs they will be sterile anyway.
But it was funny how I found the flea bite on me, and then the dead flea right after.
