You need to break the cycle - egg - larva - flea, one treatment every 30 days for three months to break the cycle (three times total). Get a good spray that works on all three stages, wash all the bedding, vacuum, then spray. Vacuuming stirs up the eggs and makes them hatch, use a disposable bag and throw it out - very important step. Same for house, trailer, yard infestations.
Treat the source, depending on your life style a topical is good but Advantage washes off with water, Frontline washes off with soap even though it is ok with just water, an oral med will kill the any fleas that bite. We use an oral for both Heart Worm and fleas, check with your vet - some dogs have an adverse reaction.
