I’ve had my dog for 9 years now and she has never had a flea in her life until we moved. I got rid of them and now they are back. I believe they are in the grass outside. How can I keep them outside, out of my apartment and off of my dog. Every time she goes outside she gets infested again. Thanks!

    Simple, flea meds from your vet and a professional exterminator to spray your apartment.

    i would suggest using frontline plusto get the fleas off your dog and then get and xterminator to spray down your apartment and then it all should be good.

    you are correct saying the fleas live in the grass.

    try food-grade diatomaceous earth – dust your dog’s sleeping areas, work it into the carpets, and puff it into cracks and baseboards. also work it through your dog’s coat. it works mechanically by scratching up the flea’s carapace and killing it by dehydration. bonus: it works on all kinds of other nasties such as bedbugs, silverfish, and cockroaches.

    double bonus: unlike the meds and chemicals, fleas *cannot* become immune to it.

    Go To Your Vet, They’ll Probably Give You Some Kind Of Spray Or Shampoo. Good Luck.

    Well, I recommend putting your dog on her regular frontline, but I find it much cheaper to just fo to Walmart or something and get a pest bomb (Not an explosive, I promise!). Once your dog doesnt have fleas anymore, that’s when you should bomb the apartment. It normally works just as well as an exterminator and is MUCH cheaper. But with the yard… Maybe there’s like a powder stuff you can use, like the stuff you get to kill grubs and pests like that. I hoped I helped the slightest!

    Go to your vet and see if they carry Comfortis. It’s a new flea preventative pill that works better than Frontline. Many fleas have become immune to Frontline, so I wouldn’t recommend that. Also, treat your house with Fleabusters powder. DO NOT use a flea bomb or any poisons in your house! Fleabusters is totally safe for use around humans and pets and works very quickly. It got rid of the flea problem in my house within 24 hours. http://www.fleabuster.com/
