I have read the other responses and they're all good. I have had flea problems at times in the past and have learned to do certain things. #1--I bug bomb the house every couple months with any good bug bomb in sufficient quantity to really fog the house good. Be sure to remove all pets, cover fish tanks, and put out any pilot lights. Open cabinet doors, closet doors, etc. and let 'er rip. Be sure to air out good when done as the fumes will make pekes cough (me too sometimes). #2 I use Ovitrol spray on my dogs and it seems to work very well and it kills eggs as well as adults and it even works on head lice on children (my daughter got desparate). #3 Spray any area in your yard that is shady (fleas live in shady spots) and woody (spray wooden fences or woodpiles with something like Diazenon outdoor spray. Control the dog's environment by shampooing carpets, washing bedding, washing stuffed toys, anything that a flea could hide in. These 3 things in combination should fix your problem. Good luck!
