Answers:
The best and easiest flea treatment by far is ADVANTAGE.Simply apply it to the dogs skin.This will effectively kill the fleas on the dog and anywhere that it lies.Next go to the supermarket and buy yourself some flea bombs.RAID or MORTEIN.Flea bomb every room in your house and you will have no more flea problems.You can forget the powdersas they are messy and don't last long.And washing your dog in remedies also only lasts for a short time.Advantage only needs to be applied once a month but in most cases you'll find the fleas don't come back once you have your enviroment under control and it takes 2 seconds to apply.
not only should you treat your dog for fles but you must also treat the ares the dog frequents, blankets, etc. you should also invest in a flea collar which wil keep fles from going on the head area causing further complications with the ears.
place a bit of vinegar in the drinking water.
You have to bomb the house. Get the dog treated again and then get buggy bombs.
i have a yellow lab %26 he used to have a lot of fleas on his body. go to a vet. clinic %26 ask for anti flea drops. the bottle is similar to the plastic bottle of EYE-MO. bath your dog first %26 then wait for 3 days before you apply the medicine at the back of his neck. dont bath your dog after 5 days or else the effect of the medicine will not be effective as it should be.
You know that flea powder stuff? Take you dog out side.. powder the heck out of her/him rub it in good!! Then all over your bedroom.. carpet ect.. Leave your dog outside for a while..like a hour or better. Get a good VACUUM.. Vacuum the piss out of your bedroom. You know.. all bedding washed..ect. Guess what.. Fleas B GONE!!
Get the good flea powder.. Your dog will love you for this..
get some revolution from your vet, they will be all dead in a day! But you must do this monthly in order to keep the fleas away for good.
You have to buy Frontline. Its the best.
You can get it at 1800petmeds.com. Kind of expensive but works. You can buy the spray bottle, its a little cheaper.
Then go to your local pet store and buy flea carpet cleaner and use that.

P.s. I work with military dogs, and thats what the government uses on these dogs, and they only use the best.
When flea larvae hatch they can't penetrate the skin to eat so they eat the blood that the "mama" flea left for them. Regular bathing (at least once a week, but no more than 3X/week b/c it will dry the dog's skin out too much) will help loads. A good swim in a lake that gets them completely wet can be a daily thing plus it gives them some exercise and won't dry the skin out.

Garlic and brewer's yeast (available at any good pet store or nutrition store) added to their food will also help keep fleas from hanging around. Plus, it's REALLY cheap but highly effective (better than a lot of the stuff that is toxic to your dog that your vet will sell you).

One last thing that you can do is get some stuff called "Precor" add it to a **new** bugspray canister and spray it around the house. It completely stops the development of bug larvae so that they can't become viable adults. It's also completely non-toxic to anything that ISN'T a bug larva. It will NOT kill the adults. That's what the regular bathing and swimming is for.
TAKE HIM TO THE VETS .
THEY CAN PUT SOMETHING UNDER HIS SKIN WHICH WILL KEEP THE FLEAS AWAY
