I stumbled upon your article when searching for the most effective flea bombs for the home. When we first noticed the fleas, they were on our 10 week old puppy, she was covered in them. We also have a 7 year old small dog and a 9 year old cat. When I first noticed the the fleas, I panicked, like your article says. I went out and spent $75 on products such as bath wash, collars and also Hartz brand monthly treatments. When none of this worked, I called our groomer. She said she would wash/dip/rid the fleas while I bombed the house. I took the animals to the groomer, went to Home Depot, bought a flea/bed bug bomb kit and did the house. Later on, I washed EVERYTHING. The next morning, I saw NOTHING. I was so relieved. It was the first time I had relief in a course of three weeks. But to my horror, the very NEXT morning those stubborn things came back. OR never left, whichever one. So I panicked again and called the Vet. She told me to come in and get the Capstar and a months dosing of Frontline Plus so I did that as well. The only thing is that I only treated the puppy with the Capstar and the Frontline because I don't and still haven't ever seen a flea on the other dog and the cat. I found three weak fleas on the puppy two days later but still nothing on the other pets. Please give me your take on Frontline and Capstar pills and if I should continue treating my puppy with this and also go back to the vet for the other animals as well. I am going to buy the Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) today also.
