The eucalyptus idea sounds good too, but would just be for my dogs. I can't hold my 13 lb. Persian cat under water for two seconds, lol.

Someone told me to wash bedclothes with Borax. Has anyone heard of this before? (To use it to help kill fleas.)

I have used Borax in my carpet for many many many years to control fleas, and it really works extremely well!!! My vet recommended I use it years ago...However, I haven't used it since I got the yorkie, because her nose is to the ground, continuously, and it worries me...What you do is shake it all over the carpet and kinda walk it in...I think it smothers the fleas?...There are actually companies that do this for a living, but you can do it yourself...Maybe google "borax for fleas", I bet you get a bunch of reponses...If this frontline plus doesn't keep the job done, I'll probably go back to borax....
