Answer
Hi
i think the bet thing I can do is to refer you to my web pages about getting rid of fleas on your pets and your home. the pages will give you a better idea of how they live and survive and how best to eradicate them for good.

Also make sure all your pets are protected against fleas so that they cannot live and breed on them as well as treating the home. It sounds like you are on top of the situation though.

here is the first page about fleas, if you read through the pages it will give you an over all picture of the little pest and knowledge is power. ;)
