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.

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.
