Bath them in Dawn dishwashing soap. It's the only thing I know of that will kill fleas and can be used on pups less than 6 weeks old. It want keep them off but it will kill everyone on them when you bath them.

you can use frontline on the mother and it will keep the flees and ticks away. i had a pit bull that was covered in flees and was afraid to use any thing on her but the vet gave me some front line and it didnt hurt the pups and it got rid of the flees.

I would be careful bathing very young puppies. You need to make sure they either can generate their own heat or for you to provide an alternate heat source to prevent very young puppies from hypothermia. It doesn't have to be cold outside.

had that problem a few years back with pups and fleas. took some fells napha soap and made up a solution then used a fine toothed comb and combed the pups with the solution. took the fleas off them without hurting them or the mother.
don't know about the dog house with the pups in it but about twice a year we treat the yard and the kennel with hydrated lime. this kills the fleas in the ground. have very few flea problems.

My experience with cedar chips is -- fleas love it. I had a flea problem on mom and pups one time and this female vet that many of us use to know -- and I have great respect for -- told me in private to go ahead and use frontline. I did and had no problems. I'm not telling YOU to do this however. Do it at your risk.

Yeah, it goes without saying, you have to clean out the box and put in new bedding.
