I live in Texas and have no fleas. I don't fog the house. I don't bathe the dogs in flea shampoo, in fact Oz and Gull only get bathed about once every 6 mos and Murph every 3 mos. No flea collars or flea spray/powder on them. I'm a bit paranoid about chemicals in the backyard with the dogs, so in the 7 yrs I've been here at this house, I think I've only poisoned the yard 3 times, just to keep the ants at bay.

3/4th of the house is either ceramic tile or hardwood floor, which I think helps, but I really think the biggest factor is that they take Sentinel for Heartworm, which also has a flea preventive and the fleas never get a chance to get going. The vet keeps askin' me if I want Frontline or Capstar, but so far *knock wood*, I've not needed anything extra.
