No flea collars don't kill fleas they only get rid of them but not kill them.
The flea collars that look like thin collars but have a (usually) circular dangle attached (which contain chemicals the fleas don't like and will jump off the dog) can also kill your pet as they are toxic and tend to get dipped in the water bowl when your dog takes a drink. Next drink, your dog is poisoning itself.
There are several excellent, topically applied treatments that protect your dog and kill the fleas. I use Frontline as it can be purchased in bulk over the counter (on the Net), applied monthly, and at a much more favorable price point than others when purchased year around or for the season.

∙ 14y agoFlea collars don't really work that well because if its on the neck the fleas can bite it somewhere away from its neck and the only way it would work is if the flea went under the flea collar, so it could jump over it on the back or face and bite them.

∙ 10y agoFlea collars emit a poison that kills fleas on the dog. There are many different types of pests that can bother animals. There is no universal poison that kills them all which is why flea collars may be ineffective.

How Do Flea Collars Work?
flea collar
Flea collars look like tiny bands around the neck of the pets. And you must be wondering how such a small belt works and repels those insects. As soon as you put the collar around your pet’s neck, it releases some chemicals that go down the whole body through the oils present on his fur and skin.
These chemical residues on the skin and abruptly kill the fleas that try to settle on the skin of your pets.
Similarly, the chemicals that are released by the flea collar have a strong smell. This smell also helps in killing the fleas. Along with this, there are a number of flea collars.
Each has a specific role in protecting your pet from the flea. Some kill adult fleas, while others are effective against the younger ones. Some repel the fleas, while others repel as well as kill the fleas.
Another thing that is important for the proper function of the flea collar is its fitting. If you follow the instructions given on the product, you can protect your pets easily from fleas.
The maximum results from the collar depend upon the right fitness of it around the pet’s neck. For this you need to read all the instructions given to you by the company and also know about some tips and tricks from different websites.

How long do flea collars last?
Flea collars are not a good idea, and can actually be quite toxic to the animal. There is no way you can tell how much of the chemical is going on the animal's skin (if any) and over how long a period. Thus, you can't really tell when they aren't working. Another problem with these collars are that the chemicals in the collar will kill adult fleas ONLY, and not the larvae. A proper product given by your veterinarian is the best solution for flea treatment.
