The person who said they will not keep the dog from getting re-infested is wrong. If you apply the product correctly and use it every month, it will kill any flea that bites your dog. However, you can not bathe your dog in a shampoo that has any soap or detergent. You should only use aloe/oatmeal shampoos when using a topical flea product because a soap based shampoo will wash the product off. That means no flea shampoos or dips! Also, be very careful when using products you find OTC such as Hartz or Adams. If not used 100% correctly they can be very toxic to an animal. Do not use Advantix if you have cats in the household, because it is very toxic to cats. Caffeinated Content – Members-Only Content for WordPress

Adams sells a line of products that works really well. Treat your dog with the tick bath, spray around the baseboards in your house, and go to the dog park for a couple hours. Once the spray is dry, it is fine to bring your pets (and kids) back inside. It's a good idea to do it once and then again 2 weeks later. That will kill the fleas & ticks in the house, but you will probably also want to treat the yard as well. It's best to do everything at once rather than a little bit at a time. That way you get rid of them once and you won't have to keep dealing with the problem. You will want to continue using the Advantage or Frontline once a month to keep the problem from getting out of hand again. Caffeinated Content
