issues with fleas and snakes
so my husky has a issues with fleas around the house and due to my love of snakes, (I have them around the house) I am having a issue finding a pest control company to come and take care of the fleas due to me not being able to move all my snakes out of the house for them to come in and treat. has anyone had this issue and found anything that will work? flea baths and flea treatment doesn't work and there back on her in 2 days.

Seresto flea collars are expensive but they work. I have two GSD's, one has the very long/thick coat, and after a week of wearing the collar both dogs were flea-free. During that week I gave each dog a daily dose of Capstar for relief.

Re: issues with fleas and snakes
I give my dogs a monthly medication to prevent fleas and have never had a single flea on them or in my house.
Trifexis is a good one. It treats for fleas, heartworm prevention, ticks and prevents many parasitic worm infestations.
Just a thought. Although, now that they are in your house I think you will need to address that problem before this treatment will work to keep you flea free.

getting rid of fleas is more than getting them off your dogs, they will still be able to bite you too. The dogs is a good start though.

I use frontline flea prevention, but you need to apply a new vial every couple months or so. Once you apply it on your dog, your dog becomes a walking flea killer, since all fleas like to jump on dogs. It only takes a couple weeks before they're all gone from your house.
I've never had a flea issue due to treatments like this (frontline, revolution, advantage). I just re-apply every couple months whenever I see them acting itchy again.

Frontline always worked for my dog except for this last time i used it on him. K9 Advantix didn't work the time i tried it so...

above mentioned are all fantastic. I highly recommend using those sticky light traps as well if you can find them. between any of the medications/collars suggested and those you'll be flea-free much faster.

fleas I'd imagine are the same as ticks-they develop huge immunities to the medications and poisons used. The ticks alone in my area can take all of the popular brands to the face and keep on biting, its bad.
