I have never really had a problem with fleas until this summer. They are horrible! I just can't completely get rid of them. I think I've got them down to a minimum but it's really annoying not having them 100% gone. I've bombed the house, tried advantage and frontline (like advantage better - just reapplied today)..have to use these every three weeks, and I've bought the raid flea spray that you can spray carpets and furniture with. I really think they are starting to become immune to the product we have now. She also gets two supplements that both include brewers yeast (not sure if there is garlic or not) which is supposed to help. I guess the only way to completely get rid of them is to wait until the first good freeze in a few months...until then I guess I'll just have to do what I can to keep them away..just don't want to overdo the chemicals
