I use diatomaceous earth during flea season. It seems to work well. It's a natural white powder that you put on their coat. It's ground up shells so it's microscopic rough edges sticks to the flea's shell and tears their shell apart. You just need to make sure you get food grade de though, not the stuff they put in pools. I get mine at a local pet store.
