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.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Fleas--Please help!

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.

Sincerely,
Laura
