Don't know if this was covered already, but vacuum daily and make sure to treat the basement, or any open space under the house if you don't have a basement. Our area is thick with fleas and those two things along with keeping the grass cut short keeps it under control.

Okay, Thanks!

What worked for us was taking him to the vet and getting him some pills that kill any fleas/ticks that bite him. Then we washed all of his bedding (and ours) in hot water and used this powder on the rug that kills fleas then vacuumed it up a couple of days later and that worked really well. It actually took a several weeks to vacuum all that powder out of the rug but the fleas were gone so it was worth it lol. Before that we tried a 'dip' for him and spray for the house and they didn't work. Good luck.. hope you get rid of em soon!

Cool! & it's safe? I looked it up, but is it safe? just double checking, we've had some SERIOUS safety panics lately.
Thanks, we are on a tight budget as far as Frontline and such products right now. We are going to petsmart right now to see what all they have. We will vacuum a lot. we're kinda bad about that...

Thanks to you both!

Yes, it's safe. We no longer buy Frontline or any of the other toxic products for the dogs.

Btw if your using dawn put it on the dog before you wet them it works so much better

The only thing we've foudn that really works is the topical meds like Advantage/Frontline or the Capstar pills.

We have multiple dogs/cats, so I always get my meds online somewhere like www.entirelypets.com because it's much cheaper than at the vet or somewhere like Petco and you can buy a large supply. (That website often has sales/coupons and free shipping deals as well, which helps with the price)

My vets prices are way cheaper than that on the frontline even at the supposed sell price and we have a buy 6 get two free and the makers of frontline actually stopped selling it to vets because it doesn't work the fleas have become immune they now sell tritak so be cautious when using frontline topspot and if you have multiple dogs or dogs with sensitive stomachs you can use Adams flea spray it's wonderful stuff and cheap12 dollars if you want to go with a topical I would say advantage multi but the best by far is the comfortis and all of these only work properly if you give them every month

That's interesting. I stopepd using Frontline about two years ago because it suddenly stopped working for me as well (fleas immune). I always use Advantage and it works great for my pets...even my dog with a flea allergy. I haven't found cheaper prices for Advantage...but I'm always on the lookout!
