    1. Give everyone with fleas or that might have fleas a bath with regular Dawn dish soap. I did about 3-4 scrubbings each because I'm paranoid
    2. Frontline/advantage ALL furry animals, even if they're strictly indoors.
    3. Bug bomb the house. Alternatively, get a pest control company to do it for you.
    4. Deep clean!! Wash sheets, blankets, everything the infested animals have come into contact with. Steam clean anything that can't be washed (couches, chairs, mattresses, etc).
    5. Use frontline/advantage religiously each month. This will prevent a reinfestation.

    And that's what worked for us Flea free for almost a year!!!
    Not really trying to call you out, but can you provide evidence to the fact that flea collars are dangerous? Mildly effective in conjunction with bathing and preventatives, I'm sure it be a piece of mind sort of thing.
