Fleas, do they ever really go away? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Well, we really managed to get rid of the infestation a few months ago. I don't see them around our house or on Tbone at all, just a tiny little one on Tina probably every two weeks. And they don't act like they have fleas. I use the Hartz flea shampoo but only once a month, and the Hartz home spray. Maybe they are hiding out in her kennel. It seems to me that I can kill all the adults, but then every once in a while a new one hatches and starts it all over again!!!

use dawn dish soap....kills them instantly and safely without using too much of the flea killers can be harmful to our little angels....only the dawn brand......good luck

Even though our neighbors dog is infested with them *shudders*

...maybe one day I will sneak over there and put some of my k9 advantix on her....lol
