In our area this has been a terrible season for them (humid long summer weather!).
As a groomer I see them more then your average person and the only thing that is really working is advantage, here.
I have clients form the US (I am in Canada but my shop is 3 mins from the US/Canada border) that have been using Frontline and here it is not appearing as effective, why I am not sure. I feel bad for my clients though, they are really upset that the fleas seem to be immune to the products (I cannot blame them!!)

What is really frustrating is I have some clients who refuse to use anything like Advatage claiming it has too mnay chemicals, meanwhile their poor little dogs are INFESTED!! The risks of fleas vs. chemicals to kill fleas is a no brainer to me, IMHO, I would rather take the small risk of a reaction from Advantage or such then the damage fleas can do to a dog.
