The main concern is her environment - for every flea ON the dog, there are 100 more in the environment. Most of their life cycle is spent in bedding, carpets, and upholstered furniture. If you don't seem to have a lot of fleas, you might be OK laundering bedding and plush toys weekly, clearing up any household clutter, and vacuuming daily (you have to get rid of the vacuumed material outside the house, daily, preferably in a sealed container, because they will find their way back if you don't.) It's also a good idea to vacuum the walls up to about 24" as juvenile fleas will crawl up the wall about 18" to wait for a victim to happen along (they may also pupate right on the wall in a quiet area which is mondo CREEPY!.) Some outdoor environments also harbor fleas, which can make you life very difficult. There are chemical sprays for this, but they are very toxic, so a last last resort.
When we lived in a heavily infested neighborhood, we had to spray the yard, vacuum daily, and use Frontline spray as well as prescription flea growth regulator (Program) pills to keep the fleas off.
Where we currently live we have nut trees in the yard which seems to inhibit outdoor fleas, and we have our dogs on Trifexis for heartworms (it also inhibits fleas) with the backup of using a topical(Sentry, etc) if we see any fleas (we also have cats.)
So far this has worked well, which is good because two of our animals have serious flea allergies. Hope this helps!

Besides applying the Frontline to the dog, you could give he/she a flea bath prior to get rid of the existing fleas/eggs. For the home, if the home remedies aren't working then I would call a pest control company. A company such as Orkin who uses a higher quality spray that doesn't expel the homeowner and pets out of the home for several hours. It's almost impossible to get rid of a flea infestation in the home without having it bombed.

Ugg fleas suck

I just finally figured out how to access my acct. on this new site they made. Real quickly I can tell you , even if you lived in an apt., in a high rise and have indoor pet, fleas can still get there in the right situation. You could have neighbors with them for example......You can bring them into your home on a shoe, etc, long list of what ifs. Also thanks to crappy new format here I have no idea where you live. --as you mentioned you would like ideas from local group but we are not all in the same location. I am not trying to sound snarky; excuse me as it took me an hour to get through red tape to finally get back on 'daily strength". If you want my opinion and I did work for a pest control company, the best way to rid your home of fleas is something called "Fleabusters" which is a company but also something you can purchase and use yourself, and also something you can make yourself. It is a powder. ( this is the opposite of spraying and was a competitor to the company I worked for but IMHO, is better and non toxic.

If your pet is out of your house and out of your yard fleas become a problem. If you take them out spray something on their legs and under carriage. Add garlic to their food daily. When I was planning to go camping with the boyscouts, I would start taking garlic pills a week before the event. Garlic really does keep away the Vampires, the tiny ones, LOL

In desperation, when I lived in the middle of 300 acres, I lined the outside of my house with moth balls. I also put them inside of my house under all of the furniture until I got control of the fleas & tick. After that I kept the moth balls outside around the house, it helped. Plus I sprayed the dogs everytime they went out and came in. I don't know where you life so these are just a few thoughts for you.
