My dog has fleas again after treatment. What's the best solution?

Question

We have a corgi named Zeke. We've been in our new duplex for a month or so when we noticed fleas on him. On 7/3 we gave him a Capstar, then on 7/4 we flea bombed the place, and gave him a flea bath. Everything has been great the last 5 days and now we just found two more on him! We assumed he's getting them from our shared backyard because the neighbors' dogs have them too. Zeke hasn't been out there since the bomb. What would be your suggestions of products to knock these fleas out for good?

In order to get rid of the flea you need to use a topical or oral flea prevention that last for 30 days. Than continue to use the product every 30 days for 6 plus month. Capstan only kills adult fleas for 24 hours. Every flea you see has laid about 1,000 eggs. It is really important to address the life cycle present in fleas. IF you apply a monthly flea prevention and treat the environment you should be able to get rid of them.
