When we went to our vet in France, there was a notice that they have been on the increase this year. Crazy climactic conditions-- their 'season' has been extended well into fall when they should be dying down.
Frontline has been sufficient for ours so far. Grapefruit peel repels fleas, too: they hate the oils. Bash the outside of the peel or grate it only enough to break the surface, and rub that on your pets' beds. Then put the used peels on your radiators. They'll dry out, dissipating their very nice scent, making your house more unfriendly to fleas.
Be careful, though: a dry citrus skin is highly volatile. Don't put it anywhere where it may catch fire accidentally!
