Borax in the carpet. It's that easy. I have 4 dogs and a cat. Every
year we would have a terrible flea problem and would spend big bucks
on chemicals, etc. It was awful. The fleas bit the dogs and us too!
THEN we read (on the wonderful Internet) about putting Borax (regular
Muleteam Borax) in the carpet. So we tried it. You just sprinkle it on
(we brushed it around with a broom) and vac it up. Haven't seen a flea
since and this was three years ago. We do this about 2-3x a year now.
I think the companies that make and sell all those flea products,
chemicals would like consumers to think that controlling fleas is
difficult or impossible without their products. But it's really just
as easy as putting Borax in the carpet.
