My house and pets are overrun with fleas. What are cheap options?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 2 months old | 9 lbs

I'm going through a divorce so funds are very tight right now. I have 3 indoor cats, one tiny 2lb chihuahua that stays inside. I also have a 9lb yorkie/chihuahua that goes out and an outside golden retriever mix. My house no pets are overrun with fleas this year. My chorkie brought them in and they keep breeding. I bombed my house and dipped the animals but it didn't work. I have hardwood floors. I can't afford 200.00 for meds right now, I love my babies and it breaks my heart. Any options?

Advantage spot on or frontline spray would be your best option for now, Advantage is sold over the counter and is a very effective anti flea treatment. for the house i would recommend Indoorex spray.
