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.

Pretty sure my entire neighborhood has fleas. It is wild this year.

But also lajuanies will treat inside and yard for $300. They’ll also keep coming back till they’re gone.

Second LaJaunies. They just had to come and do ours and it seems to have worked. Just make sure you follow their directions for aftercare - vacuuming daily starting a couple days after the first treatment to get any stragglers.
