We have this issue, as well, living in Texas. All four of our dogs got infested this summer, and our house ended up infested. We spent a small fortune getting rid of the fleas in the home and We tried “natural” remedies, none worked. Finally started topical, and that didn’t work at all, then got Bravecto. The fleas are dying, and none of my dogs seem to show any negative side effects (to-date). I was nervous before giving them meds.
I wish there was a “natural” alternative that worked, but we have not found one. The amount of money spent was excessive and I would not wish a flea infestation on anyone.
