The way I get Frontline on my feral is I sit next to him while he's eating one of his favorite foods (chicken), and while he's preoccupied with eating, I drizzle the Frontline between his shoulder blades. He sometimes will hiss, but is not so bothered that he leaves his food bowl. I believe I get most of it on him. He's never foamed at the mouth or gotten sick from it. I've been doing this during Spring and Summer for 3 years. You can buy Frontline at Amazon for about a third of the price anywhere else.
Capstar will kill fleas on contact, but will only work for 24 hours. Frontline Plus will work for 30 days. Also, I've had negative experiences with Castar. My cats go nuts for a half hour after I give it to them, jumping around like nuts while the fleas are panicking on them. I don't give it to them anymore, and I'd never give it to a feral.
As others have said, please don't leave any pill or liquid flea medication on the porch. These things are pesticides and can kill if ingested.
