Getting rid of fleas effectively requires a total approach according to experts. A three-pronged approach to getting rid of fleas is needed because if you leave out just one of the areas, the flea circus keeps going!
The important thing is to treat the interior, the yard, and any pets you may have all at 
once. That way, fleas won’t be able to find shelter in untreated areas and keep causing problems.
I came across this article while I was looking at ways of getting rid of fleas effectively. According to Tara of Wichita County, you have to tackle to problem all at once. She says,
“You need to treat all three at the same time to get effective control,” said Tara McKnight, horticulture Extension agent for Wichita County. “If you treat your yard and you don’t treat your pets and your house, the dog or the cat will bring them back outside and re-infest your yard.”
Remember that fleas can hitch a ride through a passing dog or cat. When they have eaten their fill, they just hop off conveniently. Look out for such passing flea taxis and keep strays away from you home if possible.
This summers hot days and cooler evenings and occasional rain have created a healthy breeding ground for fleas, and a population explosion started. In order to treat the fleas, read product labels properly. Chemicals used on the lawn is quite different for those used on pets or for those in the home.
