Comments about efficacy of this product(Advantage), with ticks would be very welcome** A: Hiya. Live in Cheshire here. We have all sorts of creepy critters that love to attach themselves to my dogs and cats, free meal all round! I researched this product after wasting so much money on frontline, this didn't work for me anymore. I purchased just before Xmas and dropped it on animals, within minutes I spotted a flea trying to hang onto my dog's coat (probably gasping for air, didn't get magnifying glass out!) ;) there have been no fleas, ticks or mites on any of my 7 animals since! :) will be buying again next month to repeat. It's brilliant and really works. **Q: Is it the same ingredients for cats & dogs ?** A: Advantage Spot On Flea Treatment is for treating flea infestations in dogs, cats and rabbits suitable for puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. Using Advantage Flea Treatment, fleas are killed within one day following treatment. **Q: does this product kill ticks?** A: No it doesn't. I started using this 2 weeks ago. I found a tick on my dog 5 days ago. I recieved my 'tick remover' today and have just removed the tick and it was still alive! I've just drowned the horrid tick in mouthwash, vinegar and bleach! So I would say NO this product does not kill ticks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing stuff. Dead fleas GONE. *by A***R on 27 February 2026* Fantastic stuff.

Advantage made an ENORMOUS difference to my flea infestation. I was using Frontline spot on. I had no idea it has a reputation for being ineffective! We noticed a couple of fleas right around the end of December, and I sprang into action flea treating the house. After 10 days, while this was reducing the flea population, it wasn't eliminating it. If you don't eliminate it, you're not really getting anywhere. From there I did extensive research on treatments I could use for my cat. After trying a useless, natural oil based spray, I turned my attention back to chemical treatments. I noticed that the ingredient in Advantage are completely different to those in Frontline and Bob Martin. It had been 2.5-3 weeks since I last applied Frontline, so having done as much research as possible on the safety of this, I applied the Advantage. My cat scratched for about 24 hours and from there her skin seemed to really calm down. What I like about this product is it kills fleas on the cat as well as larvae in the house wherever the cat goes. When treating a flea infestation, the eggs, larvae, and live fleas are not your problem. The problem is the pupae (cocoons) because flea sprays, flea bombs, and pet treatments won't kill them. They are impervious to everything and can live for a few months. The only way to eliminate them is by hoovering them up (but there is no way of knowing if you have got them all) or waiting for them to hatch, so the fleas can then be killed. This is why it's a bonus that Advantage kills larvae, because then they can't progress to becoming pupae. The only way to be sure you're killing pupae on hatching is to make your home and pet an uninhabitable environment for fleas. Flea sprays work for weeks/months on the home, and pet treatments such as this make your pet uninhabitable. But the pupae is the reason you could treat your cat and still see fleas weeks or months later - if your cat goes where there was some, they sense this, hatch, and jump on your cat. As long as you are regularly treating your cat then this shouldn't be anything to worry about. Other things I also like about Advantage: The application tubes actually easily dispense all of the product! It is safe to be applied weekly if required (per the IFU in the box). Weekly did feel too regular for me, so I waited 2 weeks. My cat was a little scratchy again towards the end of the first two weeks, so this felt right. I am now going to be going for 2-3 week intervals (dependent on observing her) until I feel more confident reducing it down to 3-4 weeks. This will depend on her scratchiness and whether I see any more fleas. This product was a huge game changer for me and I will be sticking with Advtange from now on. ## Frequently Bought Together - Advantage Spot On Flea Treatment 40 Small Cats Dogs and Rabbits, 4 pipettes - FRONTLINE WORMER - Cat Worming Treatment - 2 Tablets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/277628964-spot-on-flea-treatment-for-cats-dogs-and-rabbits-under](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/277628964-spot-on-flea-treatment-for-cats-dogs-and-rabbits-under) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
