My favorite flea killers are Advantage and Revolution. I've heard
Frontline is good also but I haven't tried it so can't say from
experience. I apply 0.1 ml per pound of ferret weight to the back of
their neck. The fleas that are on them will die in just a couple of
hours. You may continue to see fleas on them for a while, but that
doesn't mean that it's not doing the job, just that you have fleas in
your rugs that are jumping on him. They too die and drop off until they
are all gone..
