I just went through this and it just about drove me NUTS!!! I was allergic too and was miserable!! I did lots of research on home remedies to try, from vacuuming daily to putting Borax in the carpet and I think I tried them all...and nothing was working.
Then I went to Tractor Supply and found a indoor flea spray by Enforcer. It comes in a gallon jug with a spray nozzle so it's easy to use and has no fumes like others I had tried. It kills the live fleas immediatly and kills the eggs, too. You have to spray frequently because when the fleas are in the cocoon stage they cannot be killed and they will continue to hatch out. I just wore white socks every evening when I got home so that I could see any new ones that might jump on (they like white). If I saw even one flea I would treat all the carpeted areas, uncarpeted areas where my cat frequented, and all soft funiture where I had noticed them before. I was very diligent about this and usually ended up treating the carpet and funiture about every other day. Finally, no more fleas!!! I went through about a jug and a half, but I only have 2 carpeted rooms. If I remember it was about 15 bucks per jug.....much less than a visit from the exterminator would be!!
Don't wait!! The longer you wait to start treatment the more fleas and eggs and cocoon stage fleas you will have to deal with and the longer it will take to get them all!!
Good Luck!!

Definately treat all your animals with Frontline. We've used it and it works great. There are other good options as well. With the house you will most likely have to use a flea bomb. Send the pets and kids away to a friend or realitive and then bomb. The directions are very simple and this works. also make sure that you clean up well afterward. There really isn't much mess.
my son brought them home from his bio dads a few years ago and we used the bombs and the frontline and haven't even had a sign of them since. Our dog is an outside dog and the vet has always told us he has never had a flea. The stuff really works.
Good luck. Oh and a good way to see if they are gone. lay a clean white sock in the middle of the floor and wait. if they are around they will jump on it. Don't ask me why but I've seen that happen many times.
Good luck!!

OK I use to have the same problem because I am allergic to them to
1st of all if u have any pets that u suspect to have flees give them a flee bath and a flee collar then go to your local WalMart and ask if they have the flee killer u spray on your floor or carpet u also might want to consider taking her to the Doctor so they can give her some antibiotics
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

First of all you must treat any animals in your home with Frontline or something like it. Secondly you have to bug bomb your home. You may have to do this twice because of the eggs fleas lay tend to hatch again 30 days after. Twice ought to do the trick.

Bug bomb your entire house. Its the easiest and cheapest way once you have an infestation like that. Just get some raid bombs and set them off according to the directions. Once you are able to come back inside you need to vacuum them all up. You may need to bomb more than once. I also suggest washing EVERYTHING you own after you bomb the house. If there are any alive...hot water will kill them...and it also washes off any dead animals and the residue from the bug bomb. GOODLUCK!
