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.

This...all this!! I would just add to start by treating the dog with a flea bath and then the pill/drops. Drop the dog at the vet/groomer and have the house/yard treated while he/she is gone. I used professional services for 2 and 3, but I'm sure the at-home stuff is fine too.
