Just learned that diatomaceous earth (I got it at my local seed'n'feed store) can combat flea beetles in the garden, mites on chickens, and supposedly fleas on pets. Haven't tried it on pets but thought I'd pass it along.
Also learned that you shouldn't use it on the plants once they start flowering as it is harmful to bees.

I wish I had advice. We struggle with this in my house. We have three indoor cats and one outdoor dog.
The only 100 % method I have tried is buying the expensive topical treatment from the vet's office.
