jckkerrison has just proven why I don't use flea treatment, I did a lot of research on it before I chose not use regular flea treatments, I also spoke to breeders etc. Using frontline or any other brands (the money is no issue) doesn't actually prevent an infestation in the house as they can be carried in by humans, in my eyes its just putting chemicals on them for no reason.
