Answer 1

Put down large plates with milk in them, the fleas jump in and drown. Leave them out overnight. This really works good.

Answer 2

go get stuff to spary on the sides of the wall sand cracks from home depot not the bombs they aren't too good. keep spraying for several weeeks and spray the yard also if you have animals you need to get them fixed up with fornt line plus also take care.

Answer 3

I've had this problem before and the thing that really helps is boric acid.  It sounds horrible but really it is pretty harmless to humans and pets.  I got something called Borax from the grocery store to sprinkle on our carpets I let that sit for about an hour then vacuum it up (you can find it in the clothes detergent isle).  I do this once a month now.  Also I have boric acid that you can use around baseboards and tight corners (it comes in a bottle with a pointed cap you can find this at Home Depot or Lowes), you can put this around them and leave it, it will also help to get rid of other pests.  It works really well.  Also if you do have any pets that come inside wash them in Joy it helps to get rid of the fleas and is a lot cheaper then regular pet flea shampoo.  I also put Frontline on my cat after she drys out.  I do this also once a month.

Hope this helps you as much as it has us.
