Capstar works great, but only to kill fleas that are already on him for about 24 hrs. It doesn't repel or kill fleas after that.

Frontline didn't work for me either, but I really like Comfortis (pill) which is like Capstar, but works for a month or longer.

I don't know about sprays for yard, but it does help inside if you vacuum daily, especially if you have carpet. Even if you don't see them, they are hiding there.

The scratching could also be from dry skin or allergies. Make sure you rinse him very well after using Dawn, and use a conditioner with some soothing meds in it.
