Apparently I'm not spraying often enough, because they go away but come back. Guess I'll have to spray once a week. I've never seen fleas this bad before.

You are spraying enough to kill the fleas that are there. What's not happening for you is your neighbors aren't spraying at all more than likely. Fleas have been recorded to jump up to 60 feet in a single jump just imagine what they can accomplish in a whole day.

6 ft. is what I meant musta hit the zero at the bottom of the key board. But even if a flea jumps 3 times from your neighbors yard they can be well in your yard which is what the point of the post was.

I don't have the greatest or most sanitary neighbors in the world. So I think I'm just gonna get all the fleas off my pup and move her inside. Talking to them is impossible since they can't speak english and I can't speak Mexican.
