I've had good short term results for fleas on pets with Adam's flea and tick control. Outside, I have noticed areas on the ground that seem to be ongoing flea beds. I've used coal-oil(kerosene)in a pump-up sprayer on the outdoor flea beds and I don't see fleas in those locations for a week. In the old days, mothers used it to treat head lice on their children. Deisel fuel in a sprayer would probably work longer but is less environmentally friendly. Coal-oil is less messy and it does not leave a permanant oily residue in the ground as diesel fuel does. There is a #1 grade and a #2 grade coal-oil. Grade #1 is safer. It's the kind old timers used in oil lamps in the house. I find diatomatious earth works well for inside the house.

I know a lot about flea control products to use on your pet, but my knowledge of pesticides is pretty limited. Thanks for all the great, detailed information.
