| I had this problem with Suzi. Did you bomb your house as well? You can buy the bombs at pet stores. They're like an aerosol can. You put them in the rooms then activate them. (Just push in the tops.) Leave the house (with your dog) for a few hours. I did this in each room the dogs use. Never saw another flea. Tried sprays but these didn't work. Apparently the fleas will go on your dogs if they're in the house when Frontlined but would die pretty quickly. Hugs Shirl x x Last edited by Yorkiegran3; 02-05-2010 at 12:06 AM.

| I had really bad luck with Frontline in regards to fleas and ticks. Switched to K9 Advantix and haven't had a problem in 1 1/2 years

| So far I have been using using a spray bottle filled with equal parts apple cider vinegar and water. I read it somewhere online and so far (knock on wood) I have seen NO fleas (and they are horrible where we live). I was even having problems while on Frontline and I would occasionally see a flea even in November-December.... but I haven't seen any in the past couple of months. The ACV is also great for their coats (I have seen a difference) so I would give this a shot. I just spray their hair until its lightly damp (not soaking wet) and I let it air dry (you may blowdry, don't know... I never have). I do this for our black lab as well and it (believe it or not) has worked great on his coat AND it cuts down on his smell (he doesn't have to get bathed near as often anymore)! I have not tried the ACV/water mixture yet in the prime flea season but so far, it has worked so I hope that it works this spring/summer. I will definitely let everyone know how effective it is when it starts getting warmer. Hope you are able to get rid of the fleas - I feel you, they are NO fun.
