very tough thing. i have used advantage and frontline medication. the medication is expensive,but worth its price in gold.

call pest control.

If you want a natural one, get glue boards, for mice, place on floor, put an electric Christmas candle over it at night, cut all lights off. The heat from the candle will draw them, they will get stuck in the glue board. Do this throughout your home. When the flea eggs hatch you will have to repeat. This does work.

Also put baby oil on your legs, this will suffocate the flea if one jumps on you. You can put baby oil on a dog, this will kill fleas, but will not keep killing them, the oil will be absorbed by the dogs skin. On cats use a limited amount. I usually do their feet. And buy flea control from the vet.

The south has had epidemic of fleas this summer, bombs,and sprays have not deterred them.

Take duct tape, cut a strip off 6 inches long, roll sticky side out. When a flea jumps on you use it to get him off. He'll stick to the tape. This is great when you have white socks on. It doesn't take long to put a dent in their population.

My neighbors do not have pets, yet their porches are covered in fleas. Walking by brought them into the home.

Good Luck.

My mom always said "put a banana stalk in the yard and all the fleas will go to it....."

I have 2 Yorkie and I give them garlic salt every 2 weeks. The flea's don't like the taste of their blood so they jump off.
