Yes, if you want to. Just don't expect it to work!
Fleas are not flies, or anything else that sticky traps might be used for. There's no point trapping the odd flea when the things lay hundreds of eggs round your home.
Listen up: people know how to treat fleas these days without having to resort to old wives tale methods. Just go to a vet for some proper treatment for your pets, and a proper housespray.

Get a good flea treatment from a recognised vet. Then apply as instructed, usually one pippette full on the back of the neck of the dog and this will clear the fleas on your dog and the dogs bedding. Because the treatments are so effective, they will clear every where the animal has been in your house, providing you give the dog the same freedom it had.
We use Frontline which is one of the top in its field.

okay, i have a couple solutions for you, first, spray your house with some sort of flea spray, i prefer the name brand "Adams" i found that it works the best, but is expensive. now after you have done that, get some eucalyptus ( maybe in the form of a wreath or just the stems in a vase, many ppl use it as a decoration) but this plant is a natural flea repellent. and if you have any animals with fleas, bath them with "dawn" dish detergent. lather it up really good and just let it soak on the animal for five minutes (the pet may not like it but they will feel a lot better) after five minutes, rinse it all off very thouroughly, because if there's even a tiny bit of soap left on them, it will cause them to have dry skin and scratch, but that's not uncommon. but try these techniques and let me know how they worked for you!! they did work for me. oh! and make sure you don't bath your animals too often! that will also cause dry skin and itchiensss, but also could cause skin cancer in many animals!

There are commercial flea traps,but if you have fleas in your home you have to bomb the crap out of it and keep vacuuming the carpets to get the eggs out. and change the bed linen's !

you could try placing a saucer of soapy water with a tealight candle in the middle on the floor in the dark and the fleas are attracted to the light and jump into the water and die.
hope this helps xx

You can build even a space shuttle, but for now, ask your vet for a prescription.
