I discovered the fleas
on only one of my dogs and got Frontline Plus and applied it on Sunday but
they seem to be getting worse. I have used a fogger in the house and
washed
all bedding and vacuumed too, but still they seem to be multiplying!!

............why do you think they're getting worse? Is your dog scratching
frantically now? Sometimes the spot on treatments cause hyperactivity in
the fleas before they croak so it only seems like they're worse.

.......garlic isn't an instant treatment and I doubt it will help you. Get a
jar and pour some isopropyl achohol in it. Get a comb with close together
teeth - I just use human combs. Comb your dog for 10 minutes 2 times a day
in the high flea areas (head,neck and above tail) and when the fleas get
caught in the comb, dunk it in the alcohol. You can get a lot of fleas just
by combing but after 10 minutes they're on the run and you won't find them.

.......foggers do nothing - the fleas aren't on the ceiling but the floor.
Toss out that vacuum cleaner bag, and after you've combed your dog, sweep
the floors again - 2 times a day. A sweeper won't pick up larvae, but it
will pick up adults. If you don't want to toss the bag every time you
sweep, put it in a plastic bag, tie it shut and toss it in the freezer
between times.

.......Either use Flea Busters or an insect growth regulator like Precor on
your carpets.
