Location: Central Texas | A mixture of vinegar (fleas hate the smell), dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle. We were infested with fleas, tried all the things you mentioned, treated the yard with everything imagineable and nothing worked long term. Tried the mixture I just mentioned and it works and it's easy on the animals. Spray everything and keep it sprayed to help break the flea cycle. Put the mixture in a pesticide bottle to make spraying the yard easier. |

Location: Purcell Ok | We are using the Seresto collars. I have never been a fan of the collars until this one. It works! We mainly got it for ticks because they are so bad here but we have seen NO flees. They are a bit pricey but last for 8 months. |

Location: Southern Indiana | Dawn and k9 advantix 2 for the dogs. Can't help you with the cats but I swear the barn cats are where my dog picks up the fleas! Something they infest the yard and other placeS outside and you have to spray for them! |

You may need to flea bomb your house to. I had to do that, the fleas were riding in on our pants.. |

I have the bombs, just need to find the time to do them! It's ridiculious at night, never had an issue with fleas...and I can feel the little jerks jump on me at night in bed. |

 Vodka for Lunch
Location: Lala Land | Our vet said the Trifexis/Sentinal doesn't kill them but they are unable to reproduce. ? He gave us Bravecto - it's like Capstar and within an hour we found dead ones falling off of them.
ETA: the Bravecto was $20 pill that my dog ate out of my hand and last 3 months (supposedly)

| spray with Tempo, inside your house(around base boards, windows, doors) and outside. I spray the whole yard with it.. Once it's dry, its safe for the kids and animals. Kills every flying, crawling, and jumping thing!!! Doesn't do to well on Scorpions but it's the only thing I've found that it doesn't! |
