Keegan is the flea magnet in our house & he was miserable. Kevin would bathe him & 2 days later he'd be lousy with them...BIG ones. I went to the vet to get Frontline but they recommended Comfortis & it really did the trick. Also, we sprinkle diotenacious (sp) earth in the house, in our bed (under the sheets) in all of the boys beds etc. It's all natural so there is no poision possibly make our boys sick. What it does is cut the ecktoskeleton of the flea & they die like the little pests that they are. It's a pain vaccuming it up (we put it EVERYWHERE) but again, it does the trick so it's worth the effort. We get ours at a local nursery but Lowe's may have it.
I suppose you could sprinkle the DE where your outdoor kids sleep & give them relief too.
One more thing the COmfortis is a chewable tab so there is no ick on their backs.
