yeah sounds like you have a real good infestation of them little buggers . the pills and all are great FOR THE DOGS but they do nothing to kill out an infestation in your yard and kennel or your house ect. ect. that is why I am religious in the warm months with the spraying regiment . at the moment you probably have hundreds of new fleas hatching daily . but the permethrin will kill the adults and the martins will sterilize the newly hatched fleas before they get to the biting and egg laying stage . once you break the hatching cycle you will be able to control them easily enough with a regular spraying . I mix some permethrin in a small spray bottle and spray my pants legs before I go out walking around in the summer months to keep the chiggers and ticks off of me works great as well as for spraying the dogs ears when the flies are bad . as bad as you seem to have them you could also get you some spectricide with the hose end sprayer [ bottle you hook to your water hose ] and spray you whole yard down as well .

X2 on spraying the yard it'll seem like forever but it will kill em off just stick with it some spectracide or similar hose end sprayer will wipe them out pretty fast to the adults that is still have to break the cycle though they are a pain I was in your shoes last summer

You get your dogs started on the pills and they'll kill every flea on your yard... you won't have to spray anything.

Comfortis is AMAZING. If I could afford to have each and every one of my dogs on it I would.

I must say comfortis is amazing! Took a couple weeks and fleas are completely gone. Dogs can actually walk around without scratching and I can walk out there without being covered with em

Even birds bring them in. I spray my dogs before and after a hunt too. I hate fleas.

Last summer I had what sounds like the same exreme outbreak you are dealing with now,dogs were literally covered,i could see the sand moving and if I wore white socks around them they would be black with fleas in a second. I did a tonne of research after every other thing failed(permethrin is a joke compared to the problem I was facing) and the top internet searches led me to this product found at tractor supply,not by the pesticides but actually tucked away around by plumbing supplies etc. I sprayed in the afternoon and the very next morning I didn't have a single flea in the kennels or area. Me and the dogs were finally relieved and to this day I haven't had the problem,it will also get rid of all types of ticks and lots of other pests,just need a pump sprayer and I mixed it fairly stout,. I hope you try it,you will NOT be disappointed!!

I've heard of using cedar limbs and spraying cedar oil but never crepe mertle bushes lol the comfortis pills work no doubt about it [ from what I've heard ] but when it first came out I did the research and opted out . it say's to be carefull on giving it to brood gyps, which I don't own a gyp I wouldn't consider breeding at some point in time . they haven't done the studies on studs . just be carefull with the pills on your gyps .
the permethrin kills adult fleas and not the larva or eggs you have to use a growth regulator for controlling fleas or you are waisting your time . eggs hatch every day in a bad infestation unless you add a growth regulator to sterilize the young you ain't doing it right . these pills and frontline ect. ect. have growth regulating components in them and that makes them effective to rid you of the problem and aid in breaking the hatching cycle . and I like the permethrin due to it being the safest product out there . as with anything they break down in the sunlight and you have to be aware of how long the residue last in the sun and spray accordingly . if I owned just a few dogs I would use a pill or such but I can just about spray my 3 acres all summer on the price of a pill or squirt tube for 3 dogs lol

the comfortis supposedly does have a lot of side effects but I gave it to all three of mine and they were fine. It does work great. If you got a lot of dogs the pills would be high
