Oh I am having a horrible problem with fleas as well!!!! Tessa brought them home from Southern California about 10 days ago and gave them to my Rottweiler so now there are so many I feel overwhelmed. I used Capstar on Tessa the first day I saw them and gave Tessa Advantage and Morgan (my Rottweiler) Frontline. I purchased both of these at a pet store and they don't seem to be working. I personally like Revolution but very few vets here prescribe it. It worked wonders on Morgan when she was a puppy. I never had a flea problem.
Tessa has been getting baths like crazy and I have pulled off every flea each time with the help of my fiance. I wash her the flea shampoo by Biogroom. I thought that all the fleas had been taken care of until I found a ton again on her yesterday.
I assume my Rottweiler has them pretty bad but I can't see them on her obviously. I bought so much stuff for the house to kill the fleas and got a brand new vacuum from Costco and I have been vaccuming every few days. My downstairs is all Spanish tile so the upstairs is my only concern.
I am really bummed about the fleas because Tessa's tear stains were almost completely gone!!!! I couldn't believe it! She is getting her adult teeth and she has been looking so beautiful lately (I need to put up a picture for you all to see).
The absolute worst part to this pesty flea business is that I get bit by fleas like crazy. I have always been prone to insect bites (maybe I have sweet blood--I don't believe any of that mambo jambo) but I have been itching like crazy myself. I apply OFF all over my body every night before bed and I swear our bed smells like a campsite.
Best of luck with your fleas....let me know if you find something to get rid of them. I will be purchasing the Frontline Spray that Ladysmom recommended.
