Well, natural stuff is worth a try to avoid side effects by chemicalflea treatments which in my opinion (from what I have seen) is MUCH WORST than the fleas themselves.
HERE are some suggestions....
CITRUS REPELLENT: Cut a lemon into quarters and place in a pint jug. Cover the lemon with boiling water and let it steep overnight.
Next day you have a flea repellent that you can use in a spray bottle. Spray over your dog remembering especially behind the ears and around the head generally (careful of eyes), around the base of the tail (once again keep away from delicate bits) and under your dog's armpits".

Apparently Lori got the above from here which also mentions other natural flea repellents.
More here, including garlic and how much to use.

And maybe a change in diet?
Commercial dog food is bad and maybe your dog is telling you she doesn't like it. If you can, try giving her freshly made homemade food. After a while you won't need any flea control coz when dogs eat homemade diet they have no odor inside or outside so no fleas find them interesting enough to come around. I have 5 dogs and all of them eat homemade and are all vegan. I give them brown rice with bunch of beans and veggies and they love it! No surprise NONE of them have fleas ever or any health or skin condition.
Maybe make Kimo some chili :)
