try this website:           http://www.pesthelp.co.uk/weshop/flea-control.asp

I have also read that vaccuuming prior to defleaing is of benefit, but that you must empty out the hoover bag immediately.  Treat the car, and the house and everywhere. Treat the dogs too.

When we had a flea problem with the cats some years ago, we used nuvantop on the carpets.  I don't know if it's still available, but then it was only available at the vet but was very good.  I do remember it needed a really good airing though, so do it when you don't need to use the car for a few days.

Acclaim is the one that I have used (quite some years ago now), it is for the environment and stops fleas being able to hatch.  It used to be effective for 6 months but believe a newer version will last in the environment for 12 months.

I would buy a can do the whole car and then shut it up for a few hours.

At same time vacuum the house do the house with it and also the dogs with

Think it was Indorex I used to spray this house when I moved in (may have been no fleas, but previous owners were not the cleanest of people and had pets, so wanted to err on side of caution). It lasts 12mths I think.
