A vet friend told me to not bathe my dog before I put on the flea drops. The drops need the skin oils to spread properly. She said to put the drops on then do a bath a couple days later to remove the dead fleas and eggs and flea droppings. This year, I have strictly been bathing or dipping twice a week and it is helping but I agree they are worse than usual. I also did the Martin house and have tons of them, They are most active when I mow my grass. I bought some flea killer for the grass but haven't used it yet. My yard is so large I figure it would take a ton of the stuff and my dogs go all over it. But I will treat the areas they use most. I definitely don't think the guineas would make fleas worse, they eat so many bugs I would think they would help. It's just a bad flea year. Plus if you have the dogs in the same areas all the time, the soil would be more infested in that spot. I would move the dog area and see if that helps some.
