If they are completely covered up, get a 55 gal barrel fill it 3/4 with water. Add one bottle of {Dawn} dishwashing liquid and a shot of bleach and dip em. Sud em up good and let it set for a minute. You will see dead fleas after about 30 sec. (Cheaper than store bought dip and works better). The dawn will kill all of the fleas that are on the dog currently but won't keep new ones off. Move your dogs from the area you have them in after dipping. Put a line of Bayer Tree and shrub down their back after they dry out. Then go get a pump sprayer and mix diesel and add burned oil and go nuke the area that they were in (completely saturate it). Keep them away from there for a week or more and continue to nuke it every three days. Take out hay or house filling as well and replace (Spray inside houses). All in all you have spent about 30 bucks and can do more dogs than you have. Also you can use the search at top and get more opinions on fleas remedy's. But follow this and I promise you won't have too.

Kill all the feas on your dogs with a insecticide you have not used. before, i usually use a good cattle dip.Fleas will get immune to a spray very fast it is important to use a different chemical each time to prevent this,the fleas that come in contact with the chemical and dont die will lay eggs and produces fleas with an immunity to it .THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF CONTROLING FLEAS IS TO USE A GROWTH INHIBITOR ,this breaks the life cycle and reduces flea out breaks ,and reduces the amount of spraying needed.buy a spot on type dog treatment like (Biospot) that has permethrin and the growth inhibitor in it.These can be purchased at most any feed store.If possible move your dogs to a new area till you get a handle on them and use the biospot and get on a spray schedual every few weeks and they will be gone.just remember that you need at least to different chemicals one for sraying the ground in pens and one labled for dogs. previous post will work fine just keep dogs on biospot all summer and youll be able to control them.FLEAS will be hatching out constantly for a while so you HAVE TO spray every week to get a handle on it,then the inhibitor will keepem at bay

With fleas you can't kill the eggs. The eggs will stay dormant until an animal comes close enough and it will hatch. So you have to use a poison that will stay and kill them as soon as they hatch. Personally I use Termidor because it will kill any bug that touches it for thirty days. I just made a tub up dipped the dogs and them threw a hose in from a pump and sprayed it all over the yard. That way there is poison on the dogs and the yard to kill all of them at the same time and it will keep killing as they hatch. It can only be bought with a pest control license or ordered online and it can be shipped in with out a license. A bottle makes more than you will need. I will probably re-dip in a month. So any bug that shows up will die. Mix dawn in and it will work better on plants and grass.
