BC has fleas, big time. I have never put anything on my dogs. I spray their environment with a Diazinon very diluted solution, let it dry thoroughly and that has done the trick [5 acres + kennel]. I've had professionals come into the house to fumigate, and they left me a bottle... Diazinon.

I'm having a problem controlling fleas right now, never have before. Live in Houston, TX. Have always had my bets luck with the Advantage product, monthly treatment. Once I realized I had a problem, I tried Frontline thinking the fleas has developed a resistance to the Advantage. That didn't work. I still have fleas. A friend, and fellow breeder, suggested the dogs may have dry, itchy skin. That's not the problem. While applying skin/coat conditioner, I examined the dogs carefully. I have fleas! The dogs don't have bedding. I live in the country and they all run together and lay where they plop down. However, I regularly treated the concrete, the outside walls and the foliage around the house with Pyrethrum, as it knocks down the mosquitoes, and I'm sure the fleas too. What should I do? Should I get the 3-in-1 pill that takes care of all? Or, will dipping be my answer? Please give me your thoughts.
