i read on another list that a person with several cats and dogs was told to sprinkle garlic powder on the food of her animals for flea control. she said it has worked like a charm! however, i also read this exchange after researching.
another person said to use a little vinegar in their water dish.

Here’s a link to one that lasts for 7 months:
for flea control on the pet, give a weekly bath in gentle soap, followed by
a weekly powder with rotenone (a harmless and edible garden and pet
insecticide).
our favorite natural soap/cleaner/laundry detergent is sunshine concentrate.
i’ve used nothing else for 14 years:
