They're just not going to treat the lawn for it - PERIOD. I think if you live in a house & can treat your lawn you've got more of a fighting chance of staying flea free. I fought them hard last year. Neither the Frontline or Dawn worked for me. I'm not saying they don't work, but i had such a bad problem with them, they didn't work for me. I'm hoping htey're not as bad this year, but I'm not holding my breath.
You are SO RIGHT ! I treated my lawn all the time when in the house - we never ever needed preventatives and never had one flea ever.

here at the apartment I feel it's going to be an ongoing thing. I'm going to ask them to do something for the grass but don't see it happening. I still can't believe my neighbor who's been her 4 years said her chi has never had fleas and she uses nothing - he walks in the same grass as my girls do only I walk further around the complex - she just steps outside her door with her dog - We do real Walks - so maybe it isn't my part of the apartments ?
