I understand you frustration. Once you get fleas it is really hard to get rid of them. This is what has worked best for me. I treat the yard 1st I use seven dust or a product I get from the farm supply called Bug Blaster. I bathe Abbie with Dawn Dish Washing liquid. I actually put on my swim suit and get in with her. I use a comb and go the opposite direction than her hair and make sure the dawn get in there good and that gets rid of alot. I then give her a capstar pill it will kill anything on her and keep them off for 24 hours as a previous poster stated you will litterally see the fleas jumping off her. The next day I apply Advantix. I have used Front Line Plus and it did not work for me. I then Bomb my house I believe with I belive it is a Hot Shots Product. It is in a green bottle and is for fleas you can buy it at WalMart or Lowes it take 2.5 hours. Make sure you wait a day after you have bathed her before you apply the Advantix. I would give the Capstar right away. I live in Mississippi and all the heat and humidity makes it difficult to get rid of fleas but this really works for me and it is not exspensive. Capstar $7.00/Advantix $17.00 mnth/ House Bomb $10.00/ Bug Blaster $ 15.00 to $ 30.00.
I also wash all bedding in Hot Water. If you have a vacuum change the bag and put a flea collar inside of it. I also sprinke Boratine Washing Powder on my furniture and carpet to keep the fleas away after I have delt with the infestation. Good Luck!
