Info from my vet:

Our Recommended Flea Program:
You must treat your pets, house and yard!
First is to give ALL your pets a capstar tablet once weekly. This will kill all adult fleas on your pet at that time. This tablet only lasts for 24 hours. ALL pets, indoor and outdoor, need to be given this tablet weekly.
Next step is to apply a topical flea prevention. The over the counter medications are not as effective as veterinary based products. Our recommendations are the Frontline products or the Advantage products. During the flea season or your flea problem we recommend to apply Frontline every 3 weeks. This product that you use must be applied to ALL pets, indoor and outdoor.
Once you have applied your topical prevention it is best to spray your pets as needed, each time you see a flea with Ovitrol spray. This spray can be used as a light mist any time you may see a flea on your pet . It is not necessary to saturate your pet with this product.
Now it's time to treat your house!
We recommend to purchase Ecktokyl House Spray. Prior to spraying your carpets, vacuum first and immediately take the vacuum bag outside and to the trash. DO NOT KEEP IN YOUR HOUSE! This bag will contain flea eggs, larvae and even some adults! Once your bag is safely outdoors, begin spraying the areas that your pets have contact with. Carpets, beddings, furniture, etc.
Finally, it's time to treat the yard! We recommend to treat with a product called Diatomaceous Earth ("D.E."). This product kills the soft-bodied larvae and is non-toxic to our pet friends.
Once you have completed the above, you must maintain all your pets on a monthly flea prevention to help keep your environment flea free!
