What to use to kill fleas?

[Humbertslawncare]

Hello, I need to know what is the best spray to kill fleas in my yard. I have a few dogs and fleas are getting bad and I want to know if there is something that I can buy that will work good. I have used once in done from Lowes, but I am looking to purchase a larger quantity that a quart. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance Lawn Site friends.

You can spray Sevin XLR or Crosscheck. Crosscheck is cheaper to use than Sevin. You can get Crosscheck at John Deere Landscape.

Sevin can no longer be used as a general application in residential areas. Only as a "spot treatment", which makes it useless for fleas.

Yea, that's true for trained professionals, but a homeowner can do what ever he wants.

Sevin is hard to get and the last time I saw it in Walmart, all lawn usages were removed from the label. I know there is Sevin granules, but that makes a better grub treatment than a surface and nuisance pest treatment. Apparently, the issue is possible human exposure to a liquid formulation. I read this in the RED for carbaryl.

Thanks guys for all of the answers. Just one more question, would granules be better than liquid spray?

If you can, use a liquid spray applied at a volume and pressure to penetrate into bushes and past the leaf canopy of grass. In most cases, that means 5 gallons per 1000 or more with some pressure behind it.
