I work at a vet, the 3 best things we sell are Trifexis (monthly heartworm/flea/intestinal parasite control tablet), Comfortis (monthly flea tablet), which yall have mentioned already, and Frontline-the topical that does fleas and ticks.  If there is a significant environmental population of fleas, it can take over 3 months of continuous pet (EVERY dog and cat) and environmental treatment to see any decrease in the fleas due to their life stages/cycles.  We always recommend year round flea prevention since the good ole state of Texas never gets cold enough long enough to kill the pupae/egg stages of their life.  Environmental control doesn't mean treat your whole 5+ acres: shady spots, under decks and where the animals mainly are is sufficient enough to put a dent in the problem, while treating the animals.
