Get rid of fleas, spray pens/kennels twice a month or so with permethin.
Bathe in dawn soap, Then get your dogs comfortis pills, I paid $20 a pill for 4 dogs. Best money ever spent on fleas, and yes they become flea killing machines. My vet required me to bring dogs in, but he didnt charge me for exam, so just depends on your vet.
Fleas cause tapeworms. Get rid of fleas and use a preventative wormer and you will be good. My worming routine Constists of 1 month Zimectrin GOLD, next month Ivomec, Next month Zimectrin Gold, Next month Ivomec Etc.... If you get a tape you cant clear get some fish tapes.
Pretty simple and cheap, To keep your dog healthy. Do some research there's tons of info on fleas and worming routines on here. Its been explained over an over hahaha.
x2 Comfortis is the stuff. I don't spray the yard or bathe the dogs. Just give them another round after I start seeing fleas (3 months last time). Like you said the dogs become flea killing machines. They are flea free in a matter of hours and the whole yard is flea free in about a week.
