you don't have the Dog on a preventative? whew! you've got a ton of work to do.
you need to get all your animals on a flea product from the vet - not the crap from WM, such as Frontline or Advantage
they shed eggs all the time so the eggs are in your furniture, carpet, beds, cracks in the floor. it all needs treated.
I will say the RAID PLUS does work well for the house - both the spray & the bombs. |

i would have to agree with the previous post.although i think fronline/advantage do work to a certain degree once you have the problem with the eggs they really don't do that well.although the products like raid and things like it are ok you just have to be careful with the Dog so they don't maybe lick at a spot that was sprayed or maybe eat something that was sprayed.good luck but try and flea bomb the house if you and your family can be out of the house for awhile.after you do that make sure you vacuum the carpets ,furniture etc to pick up anything.good luck and hope everything goes well. |

What a funny comment to make and very misleading! Had my GR on Frontline his entire 12 years and he never had a flea. News flash: Most vets I'm aware of sell and recommend the "crap" too  Oh and I've never seen either of those brands sold at Walmart. |

PP is correct, typo on my part.
Frontline Plus, Advantage, Revelution,(includes heartworm) K-9 Advantix are the good ones from the vets.
the crap from WM is anything Hartz, Sargents & bio spot. there may be others, the point is - get it from the vet.
flea collars don't work |

You also need to treat your yard. If you haven't already, call your local pest man. He can do your house and yard. |
