Vacuum, vacuum vacuum. I put some flea powder in the vacuum bag. I actually threw out the bag after a few vacuums ,and I vacuumed every hour or so. I had a severe case of fleas in my house about 14 years ago. I almost had a nervous breakdown. My mom had just passed away and we were living with my dad, my daughter was only 11 mo old, and I was picking them off of her. I totally freaked. Sprinkle moth ball flakes on the carpets and then vacuum it up. Also place a pan of water at night in a hall with a lamp on the floor, in the morning you will see the fleas in the water. The light attracts them and they drown in the water. We did the bombing thing. My husband actually went and put on gray sweatpants and literally vacuumed thousands off of his legs. Finally we were forced to call an exterminator and he bombed the whole place and sprayed outside. I hate the bombing because them you have to take everything off of the kitchen counters and I just felt like the poison in the bomb stuff was all over everything. Totally creeped me out. To this day when I see a poppy seed on the counter my heart just sinks.
You really have to stay on top of them because each flea will produce many more. So like I started this post Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum.
Good luck!!!
