Fleas live in the shaded, humid corners of a yard and ride indoors on pets. Clearing them takes hitting the yard, the home, and the pet together.
Outdoors, fleas concentrate in shaded, humid, protected spots - under decks, in tall grass, along fence lines and pet resting areas - not in open sun. Targeting those zones, rather than blanket-spraying the lawn, is what reduces the outdoor population.
Fleas have a stubborn life cycle, with eggs and pupae that survive a single treatment, so the yard work pairs with treating pets through your veterinarian and handling the indoor side - washing bedding and vacuuming where pets rest. Hitting all three breaks the cycle that re-infests if you treat only one.

Eggs and pupae survive one treatment, and an untreated pet or indoor area re-seeds the yard.
Store products help, but the stubborn life cycle usually needs a coordinated yard, home, and pet approach.
