Confused Here we go again...Round 3....

Lucie has worms for the third time....I have to wait till Monday to get her an appointment, hopefully they have an open slot on Monday....But this is the third time now that she has gotten tapeworm it couldn't have come at a worse time too because the vet bill for it is not cheap...
Anyway does anyone know of any methods to keep fleas off/away from her??
I use frontline monthly on her, she gets regular baths, and I brush her daily. The biggest problem is that my parents have several cats and all but 2 go outside and then come in at night, and my mother refuses to put anything on them for flea treatment, despite my repeated asking, she only treats one of her cats and it's one of the ones who is never outside, and I definitely can't afford to buy it for all of them....I use frontline on Duke as well but my parents also put him outside more than I would like so I know he can also be bringing them in. Are there any natural things I can put on her to try to double up on flea repellants? Aside from it being disgusting, I really don't want to be making routine vet trips to treat tapeworm...
