Default are the fleas bad in your area

I just got done washing both my bulldogs and man, never in my life have i seen fleas like this. My neighbor was saying her dogs have an abnormally large amount of fleas as well. My dogs have never had them due to me using advantage plus on'em. however, i haven't used it on them in a few months cause i ran out and didn't reorder any. i'll never do that again.

anyone know of any good stuff to spray on the yard? i don't want to be a tester and buy **** cause it says it's good and then it not work.

You're gonna think I just flipped my lid but eat a couple of bananas and throw the peels in the suspected area out in the yard and it will get rid of your flea problem. My uncle had a flea problem so bad that he would walk out to feed his dogs and come back in and his socks would be almost black w/ fleas. He tried everything to get rid of them, malathon, flea powder, you name it but couldn't get rid of them all. They were in the carpet in his house and the whole nine, then someone told him to put some banana peels out in his yard and he thought they were crazy but he said he was at his wits end so he tried it and it he said it works !!!

Try some kind of dish washing liqiud like Dawn. I mix some in a spray bottle with water and spray around my lab's kennel and use it to clean the cement in the kennel. i also use the dawn when i give him a bath. supposedly dish washing liquid is supposed to kill fleas. it also makes my dog's coat shiney and he has no fleas.

Out of curiousity...is there a lot of bare patches in your yard? I've always seen fleas become a problem in yards where the grass isn't in the best shape.
