Thanks. I'll try this first.

BTW, it's not just my confort that is the issue. I have a hairless dog and
it gets covered in them while doing her business outside. At last count she
has 32 current bites.

Try elemental sulfur on the site at 5 lbs. per 1,000 square feet.

I have spread sulfur dust on a number of occassions and it has worked
well, mostly for fleas. You need to exercise a little care though.
Sulfur dust breaks down to sulfur dioxide and will stink. Use old
clothes when you spread it and wash and dry them separately. Also,
stay out of the area treated for a day or so.

Sulfur dust is also flammable so avoid ignition sources while you are
applying it.
