Another handy thing is to do a "search" for flea on the forum. I found that there are 4 pages of threads, some of the threads offer more info than here, on all sorts of remedies, including herbal & silver....
The most common thing I have read is to change your treatment. It seems that any of the treatments that works, has a limited time that they are effective... but that there are a lot of things that can work.
Some of the past posts seem to indicate that if you are ocean front, and upper elevations, there is also less flea problem, but that lower elevations have a huge flea problem. So maybe location of your lot has a lot to do with your flea problems.
FTA: we have had 3 stray/feral cats here. The 2 ferals we have now are indoor only, had Revolution for 3 months & have been flea free for a year. The last stray we had here was an indoor/outdoor cat. In the time we had her, the vet alternated Revolution & Advat (ix or age... forgot!). Our next door neighbor is a 'cat lady' & treats her outdoor only cats with Revolution & has a lot of strays & ferals... & her cats remain fairly flea free (although there was a couple of month that one of her cats went without treatment & actually became very anemic & almost died)
