Yea they were bad this year. One of our cats had a UTI and I think it made him more susceptible because we got back from a long weekend and he was losing hair and COVERED in fleas. They were jumping off him onto the other cat and dog too. It's been a long battle since then, but I think we've got them licked for this year. One thing you might want to try is diatomaceous earth. It's a type of small fossil that kills fleas physically instead of chemically by cutting up their carapace or something. We have kids so wanted to avoid chemicals in the house so we got some of this and periodically sprinkled it on the animals and along the bottoms of the walls in the rooms where the animals spend most of their time. It really worked great!
