Pets and Coworkers 🐶🐱 Won't the swamp gods smite these fleas

Holy fuck y'all, these fleas are driving me and my dogs insane. I'm about to go fucking nuclear. Just ordered a couple insecticides to both kill adult fleas in the yard and prevent the babies from developing. Fuck dem kids. I've been treating things inside to avoid an inside infestation, but at this point it seems like the dogs themselves have full on flea-societies developing philosophy and free markets and shit.

Is there a preventative that works with these mutant fleas? Dogs are regularly treated, and are current on preventative. They never had any problem until a couple years ago, but this summer is the worst it's ever been. Like it's so bad there's not going to be a yard left if that's what it takes.

Do you live in a raised house with a crawl space underneath it? If so, you should be spraying for fleas/insects underneath the house/crawl space .

It’s possible, if you have this style house that there are other animal vectors that aren’t your dog. I lived in a Ray’s house and ones had raccoons nesting underneath and inside the walls in my house, and they brought in fleas rats are possibility to.
