They are more prolific in the dry, warm months. Flea salivia can cause cats and dogs to have an allergic response resulting in severe itching and scratching. The effect of even one bite to a sensitive animal can last for weeks, so continual monthly flea control is paramount in allergic animals.
Fortunately there are several excellent products that can safely control flea infestation. Frontline, Advantage, Advantix, Revolution, and Sentinel are a few that I can recommend. Revolution and Sentinel also provide protection against heartworm disease, which unfortunately is becoming more prominent in California. Frontline, Advantix, and Revolution are also effective against ticks.

Food grade diatomaceous earth, or this website has some good recipes for fleas http://www.thepetwhisperer.com. Fleas will bite people if no animals are present, but they don’t live in your hair…that’s lice. I would also make sure your yard is mowed and weeds kept low outside. Inside, vacuum all your carpets and throw the bag out. Wash any bedding, including your own in hot water. Attacking it on all fronts should get rid of any fleas.

You can use Canine Target Spray for Fleas. Its an all-natural alternative. It is a highly effective insect repellent, which discourages dog fleas from nesting on your puppy. You can spray it on carpeting etc, as well as on your pup.
Chemical insecticides that are found in common flea control products can cause liver damage and other problems – both for your pet and for you. So be cautious when using them.
