Program Flea Killer
If you want to get rid of your flea problem, you should take a look at Program. This product is mainly beneficial because of its safety for animals and the people who are around them. It won't actually kill off the fleas (it's not an insecticide, it's a product designed to render fleas incapable of laying eggs that will hatch). However, this can be a good long term flea control strategy - instead of waiting for a full-blown infestation, gradually prevent the fleas from reproducing in the first place.

The safety benefits are why most people choose to use Program. Because it's not an insecticide, it's not designed to actually kill things - it is much less dangerous to use and be around than other chemical based flea control products. Program, as opposed to Frontline and others, will not actually get rid of your fleas. It doesn't hurt them, it just keeps them from laying working eggs. But at the same time, it doesn't hurt your pet. If you have kids, this can be particularly great - they usually have big problems avoiding dogs and cats for a day or so while the other flea medicines get absorbed. Because Program comes in the form of a pill or an injection, you don't have to worry about that.
