You may need to spray every room in your house as fleas live and breed in carpets, furniture etc.

Treat your yard again AND your house - all the dog's bedding, any fabric that the dog comes in contact with (drapes, your bed, etc) the carpet and everything else in the house if she's ever in the house - at the same time.
Take your dog to the vet and get her treated with a prescription flea medication, one that lasts for a month, and make sure that you keep her on it year-round. Do this all at the same time, and plan to stay out of the house for AT LEAST 24 hours while the bug bomb does its work.
All the dishes and food prep areas (for dog and people) will need to be cleaned afterwards, but that SHOULD do the trick.

You need to kill the fleas in your house as best you can with child-safe product... the bathes should be with anti flea & tick shampoo; all the products are available in pet stores. Also, there are flea sprays, powder, & "collars" that should collectively do the trick... the best way to irradicate fleas is to also starve them out! Don't give them a chance to re-infest your dog... flea collars & sprays go a long way in helping to do this. If your dog is a hunting & "water" dog, you're just going to have to go to the expense of re-administering the products after every outing... especially after the dog goes out "in the bush" or wild area where ticks are at there heaviest concetration this time of year... your "vigilence" may indeed save the dog's life!~ Ticks can kill.

Get a flea collar and bathe her twice a week,get this a flea and tick liquid that you put on the dog and put it on every day at least twice a day. Also if you walk her in grass don't let her go in tall grasses. Do this for a while and the fleas should be gone.

Are you seeing fleas? Some dogs have flea allergies and get one bite and itch forever it seems. Also don't get collars, shampoos, or any other pesticides. These could cause your poor dog more skin issues than what it's worth. If you only see one or two fleas check with the vet on skin disorders. Good luck.

Treat the yard, bedding and any other place or thing that can or is haboring fleas and their eggs. Bathe your dog with Head and Shoulders shampoo, it kills fleas instantly, plus the dog smells good.

Really, cause I use Frontline and it flat knocked them suckers out. I also spray the yard monthly with bug stuff, Severin that you hook up to the hose and spray. Haven't had flea or tick problems.

Do not get anything from a pet store, I would go to a vet and get a topical treatment like Revolution, I have used revolution in the past with shelter dogs, and it worked great it works for 30 days, no matter is you wash your dog,
Good Luck I hope this helps you!

You may need to repeat the treatment of the yard a few days after the first treatment plus anywhere the dog has access to. His bedding etc. Does 'he' come into contact with other animals and are these all de flead?

Very easily all you hve to do is buy some flea shampo and rubber gloves ( the rubber gloves are for you so you dont get fleas on yourself)
