Fleas!!!!!! Help me!!!!!

Another alternative that I have tried Leslie, is take lemons and cut them up
put them in a glass jar and pour boiling water over them - let that sit over nite and then pour the juice into a spray bottle and spray over the dogs coat. Not sure if this works on cats. I also take a bit of lemon mix a solution of DAWN dish detergent and give the kritters a bath. I use maybe a tsp of lemon for the cats - just a small amt - and a Larger amount on Keegan.
and also if you are using a flea comb
dip it into a hot soapy dish (dawn detergent again) it kills them

I have heard, that Ivory soap kills fleas? Correct me if I am wrong, anyone!

I'm really no help here, but I must say we some new pics of those pups!

Ahhh...the endless battle with fleas...we are currently fighting it at the moment too. (And Nathan has flea bites on his legs as well) We vacuum daily (Nathan's room gets 2 daily) Still...to no avail. And we tried everything you are trying too..I will have to try some of the suggestions on here.

You should try JDS shampoo its a flea killer and it kills all the fleas on the animal instantly. you leave them to soak for 5 mins then watch the little fleas be washed away!

I do this with my dogs and I use frontline

I have used many different types of flea shampoos. They all have killed the fleas instantly. They then become re infested within an hour or two. The shampoos I have bought and used were not only supposed to kill fleas, but their eggs and larvae as well. They all advertise being effective on the animal for up to 14 days. They're not even effective on the animals 3 hours

I wanted to thank each and every one of you for the advice. I am at a loss as to how I'm going to fix this flea problem but I'm really trying and hopefully there will be a light at the end of the flea-infested tunnel.

Hence the reason I have this part included in my 'standard flea speech' I use at work.

Most OTC flea products only kill the existing adult fleas on your pet at that moment. So you can bathe away in a chemical laden bath and the moment you set your pet back on the floor...whamo, you've got fleas again. Also since the pyretherins have been used for so many years many fleas have become immune to the effects of them resulting in poor perfomance of the product.
