Best Flea Traps That Work for Dog's Fleas?

Best flea trap reviews from people like you, people tested each product and tell us the truth that trap's Manufacturers won't.
Actually you and me want the flea trap works and it removes fleas with out the deadly chemicals and with 5 dollar solution. 

The 3 most used flea traps in the market based on:
Light attraction to flying fleas then electric shock. for instance, Victor Ultimate Flea Trap
Scent attraction and kill fleas by arresting fleas on adhesive material until they die. e.g. Springler Paper trap
All are built to be used as indoor flea trap.
Personally I've not found any product of them can do a good job as outdoor flea trap and they're not doing well in areas with heavy flea infestations. I think we must come up with an integrated solution.

In San Diego for example, you have to deal with a super flea infestation, and some people may use foggers than paper or electric traps, anyway, the flea sticky papers are used as a guide to how far the flea population has diminished after treating for them, not as an eradication tool.
