Stubborn little bugs, aren't they? The best way to get rid of them is to have your pets treated with a flea repellent, then flea powder your carpets and furniture, and be sure to treat the yard, too.
Ask your local pest control for a bag of Talstar. It kills the fleas in your grass, but won't hurt pets or people.
It may take a few repeats to get fully de-flead, but it's worth it.

Diatomaceous earth is a natural flea killer. No chemicals/pesitcides or anything and it has worked like a charm on my flea infestation this year! It is a natural product. You may need to re-do all this in 28 days that is a flea life cycle.You need to do all of the dogs inside & outside dogs wash all bedding and make sure you spray the IGR product on the carpet if you have carpet fleas love to hide in carpet.
Also may be trying this flea spray:
2 Oz Oatmeal Shampoo
2 Oz Water
4 Drops Tea Tree Oil
Mix and keep in a spray bottle. This spray is great for removing fleas, freshening the smell of the dog and it does not irritate sensitive skin.

Yes the only way to get rid of fleas is by shampoos and meds. Now to get rid of fleas in the yard a good 6 hour hard freeze will kill them.

Yep, if the fleas have found a home with a good climate and plenty of food (i.e. on an animal or person) they will live year round.

Okay well...it depends on where you live but once the first frost comes if it stays cold enough no they do not. And using frontline or any other flea and tick preventitive year round for years can cripple your pet. I recommend stoping treatment for the months of Jan-April May if its cold enough. Good luck.

Yes.
We use Revolution monthly preventative. It prevents fleas, mites, worms, heartworm, etc. It's a wonderful medicine. You'll need a prescription from your vet.
