The treatment, which launched last month, kills fleas and ticks, and also stops flea eggs from hatching and larvae developing in the home, said Merial.

To celebrate its launch, the Frontline Plus ‘house’, complete with living room and garden, is touring England’s pet shows from September to November, encouraging pet “owners to find the hidden pests lurking within”, Merial said.

Frontline Plus is available in packs of three and six, for cats and small, medium, large and extra-large dogs.
