Fleas are persistent, nasty and tough to kill. Flea infestations can make people and pets miserable. If you’ve wondered how any insect could survive after all the spraying, cleaning and aerosol “bombing” you did ..READ MORE ON FLEA CONTROL..


We recently bought and moved into a house that was infested with fleas. We have a dog which we treat with frontline. We have been vacuuming the house every day for 3 months now. In addition we have had a exterminator out to spray twice. I have also sprayed (peremthryn and precor) myself a couple times in the 3 month span. The problem has definitely gotten better and we thought we had finally rid the house of the issue. That was until we found a flea on our dog yesterday. This was the first one we have seen in 3 weeks. I gave him a capstar and washed all his bedding. Should I be concerned that we are still infested?
