I hate to be the bearer of bad news but flea dirt is a sign of live fleas - if there were no fleas on her.... you wouldn't see any 'dirt' at all...

Also - you may never see any fleas on you or in your house... but if she had 4 that you did see - then I'd def treat her bedding - your home - and anything else you can treat -

flea eggs dont live on the pet - they drop off and hatch in the surroundings -
