In MD I had a system to prevent fleas...each year the yard and house were spayed..about the third time we did this I never had a problem again...my Yorkies were kept on concrete playyards or wooden decking. As a breeder I found dirt/grass to be a problem for me..more of a tendancy to get fleas/worms and parasites. Not sure how the fleas are going to act here in FLorida...my Yorkies are in the house or walked in a stroller..excuse me, I walk, they ride.
I do know the flea meds from the vet work...as retired groomer, I found few coming to me with fleas in the last 5 years...fleas carry tapeworms.
