When it comes to treating fleas, you have to do a three step attack.

1. Treat the dog. I have been using Frontline and it works well for me. I know about the new pill, but I have not used it yet. I would like to switch to it when I run out of Frontline.

2. Treat your living spaces, especially rooms with rugs and carpets. Like the commercial says, fleas really do love to live in your carpet. I have been using a product called Flea Stoppers. Basically its powdered boric acid. You sprinkle it into your carpets like carpet powder, sweep it in, and leave it there for a few days.

3. Treat your yard. There are a few products by Scotts and other companies that you can buy from Home Depot or Lowes. They are in the pesticide aisle.


I highly recommend doing all three at the same time.

I speak from personal experience.....
