Damon, when I was fighting fleas for several months and reading up on it, I learned that 90% of the flea's life cycle is spent OFF the pet. So it's far more important to kill them in the environment and break the life cycle (kill eggs and larva) than to attack them on the pet. I used some natural products I found at Chewy.com and Amazon.com and eventually won the war with a boric acid powder that treated my carpet (and stays at the base to kill new eggs and larva). It took a few weeks to fully break the cycle, but we've been flea-free for at least a year and a half now!
Your situation may be different, but there are a lot of natural products out there, mostly using essential oils, which smell great and work well. You can also make your own flea collars by putting essential oils on them. However, I'm convinced that eliminating the fleas in the dog's environment is the key...and far safer than continuing to make the animal ingest insecticides!
