Treat the interior of the home and get rid of the fleas on the pet. You can dip the dog or bathe him with a flea shampoo. Get the dog on a flea control program thereafter. Think Advantix or something similar.

Buy a couple of the bombs. Cover your TVs up and set off the bombs and leave the house for a couple of hours.

Obligatory burn down house / kill it with fire answer.

Trifexis for the dog.

If the dog is covered in fleas, give the dog a Capstar. It will kill all the fleas on the dog within 30 minutes to an hour. Then, like another poster said, put the dog on a flea medication like Trifexis.

Bathe the dog (which will drown most of the adult fleas) and treat with Advantage when it's dry. Wash the bedding to get rid of any fleas there.
Next time fleas show up, use Frontline. That way the fleas don't build up a tolerance to the poison.
Don't use Advantix if you have a cat.

This definitely doesn't work. Get a capstar for your dog and get it on flea medicine, then you need to get your house and yard sprayed by an exterminator. You might have to get it sprayed more than once. I had this problem last year and it took forever to kill those things off

Had them bad one time. Tried everything. Eventually put some frontline on the dog and never saw another flea.

Go to a feed store and see what they recommend spraying. It will be a concentrate but it will work better than anything store bought. (Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, etc)

Nuke the dog with a Capstar, then spray your house with Siphitrol Plus II, then use either Revolution or Comfortis.

Ovitrol Plus for Dogs
TalStar
Safari Flea Comb
Precor 2000
Comfortis
** Link to website above for Comfortis is for overseas, however I have used them and they are 100 % legitimate and price is considerably less than local or 1-800-Pet-Meds.

Treat the dog with flea meds (Frontline or similar), spray the house with IGR and adult insecticide. Then vacuum everywhere in the house several times a day for the next two weeks. Empty the canister into a plastic bag and tie up each time you vacuum. You can put flea powder in the vacuum canister to help kill the ones that in in there.
It takes diligence. Good luck.

Trifexis works like a charm. May not need anything else

Treat the home for fleas. Our dogs are only on flea medicine (comfortis) from March - October. The fleas usually die down during the winter months. Plus it gets expensive for 3 dogs to be on it year round, also, it gives their bodies a break from being on it. Its not the most healthy thing for them to be on year round.

Trifexis is the only way to go
Posted on 10/20/14 at 9:32 am to 4A/5A Bluechip
I use comfortis, it's pretty legit and a lot easier than trying to squirt that crap on their necks.

Call the cops... they'll take care of your dog's problem.

Trifexis and Comfortis do protect against ticks so be aware of that.
