Since treating the environment isn't realistic in your case, the best thing you can do is put a flea pill. They have some you give monthly ( simparica or nexgard) or one every three months ( bravecto). I would recommend the bravecto in your case because it last for 3 months and it typically takes 3 months to get ahead of the life cycle of the fleas you are battling.

There is a variety of good flea treatment in the market. Here is a list of good quality flea (and ticks) treatment. Spot ons: Revolution, Advantage, Advantage Multi, Bravecto spot on (ticks as well), Comfortis. A good house spray would be Indoorex (probably the environment is infested as well). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
