Frontline spot on can be used from kittens as young as 8 weeks, but I also suggest you buy something to do the carpets with like Acclaim or Indorex.

Frontline spray can be used on kittens from two weeks old, but it is only available from vets on prescription. Most of the over the counter stuff does not work very well, and most cannot be used on kittens.
i get frontline from lloyds chemist its exactly the same as from the vets but its cheaper :- )
If you don't treat the house as well as the cat, the fleas will keep coming back!
Cats and kittens shouldn't be bathed as washing off their naturel oils is detrimental to their coats.

Use flea powder on the cat and the cat will spread the flea powder around the house to kill any fleas.
You defineitly have to treat house as well as kitten. Fleas get into carpets, sofas, wooden floors and must be treated. Products like frontline are best. I found that powder made my cats sick because they try and lick it off.
Don't get your Frontline from a vet- they will charge over �30. Get it from somewhere like Medic Animal Ltd who only charge about �15 for 6 doses!! (and it's the real McCoy)
