Hey guys, i was wondering if you use Frontline in the winter time?

YorkieMom55 · 12-29-2007, 01:43 PM

I stop using it after the first snow/heavy frost here. I'll start again in the spring.

I live in southeastern Oklahoma, and I use it about April thru October. Depends on the weather, but this is generally it. So seems like in a cooler climate wouldn't be necessary in winter.

Thanks guys I thought the same thing. I stopped using it when it got cold. Yea spring gets full of ticks and fleas...

I'm going to continue to use flea preventative this year...it just doesn't get cold enough here in Texas. Plus, if there are any fleas in your house it never gets cold enough inside to kill any fleas or eggs so they can keep reproducing.

I use it year round, just in case. Fleas are a huge problem where I live (northeast PA) and I don't want to take the chance !

I skipped this month but will probably start up again just tobe safe because it hasnt gotten as cold as i thought it would. i was told to use it until it got to freezing temp.

I usually try to keep Tilly treated year round, but sometimes in the winter I skip a month.

I hadn't thought of that. Although its been hitting lows in the 30s here in California. Maybe I will keep Teddy on frontline afterall, thanks.
