Oddly enough, after i started feeding raw, the fleas didnt seem to like her as much. Really healthy pets dont seem to attract as many fleas. But I treated my carpets and backyard with Diatomaceous dust (diatom dust). But I hear you, my dog recently went to my parents house, picked up a flea and ended up having bloody scabs on her rump. I just bathed all the animals asap with natural flea soap, and gave her benedryl to help her out a little. Shes fine now, but it took a couple weeks. I guess I am just lucky that I dont have a major flea problem in my area.
Ive also heard giving garlic or brewers yeast also helps ward off fleas, which can come in a pill form from a Veterinarian or health stores. Ive heard of some people use the brand fleastopper. I hope this helps some, because I had the same issue, even with just one flea.
