You do not necessarily need all the chemicals. When we had a flea problem last year, I actually did not use any chemicals.

Draw a very deep bath, with the stopper in your tub. Put a ring of Dawn dish soap (the original kind with the white seal on the front) around your pup's neck. Submerse your pup in the water (obviously not his /her head) but full body in the water. It will drown the fleas. The dish soap will keep them from getting onto the head. Wash the pup thoroughly.

You may need to repeat this for a few days.

Flea comb your pup 2-3 times per day. Make sure you are very thorough.

Clean your house. Sorry to say it, but there are definitely there. Vacuum everywhere. Steam clean ALL carpets. Wash every bit of fabric that exists, in HOT water.

It will take a while, but you will get rid of them.
