You need to get flea powder and put it on your carpet. Get spray that you usually put on the animals and put it in the door jams. Fleas are a pain in the butt. The flea has a life cycle that is about 8 weeks long. You are probably only killing the adults and not the flea eggs. So you need to make sure that you are doing the carpet maybe even bombing about once a week at least. This way you can kill the newly hatched fleas before they have a chance to lay eggs. If you can do that then you are good to go.

GO to your local CO-OP if you have one, or your Vet , some feed stores, Some pet stores . And ask for { happy jack flea spray} Spray all over the inside of house and your yard, drive sidewalk. People don't know, but they can carry into the house themselves on there shoes, clothes, If you can not get this ask a vet or local exter. What to use.

I like using a product that I can only get from my vet. Killed the fleas off completely. It may take you a couple of treatments over a two week period if the infestation is that bad.
This is the product and worked like a charm when I took in a flea infested foster dog (without knowing he had fleas. :( )
Siphotrol Plus II Premise Spray / Fast-Acting Formula 16oz. (454g) (http://www.petrx.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=558)

Are you changing out your vacuum cleaner bags? You have to do that every time you vacuum them up. Throw them away outside of the house into a close off plastic bag that you throw into your trash bin. They can easily survive the vacuuming and it is probably the reason why your problem hasn't diminished.

I had the same problemonce. Vacum your real good also furniture.Take pillows off furniture and baum the house with Black flag ( 3 cans in box ) .Set off be sure to follow directions. repeat in 2 weeks. When you are through get rid of vacumn bag
Ps. My vet says to put flea collar in vacumn bag.

Be careful if you put anything on the kittens because if the medicene is too strong they can get sick and die. This happened to my cat. We used Bio Spot and It worked when our dogs had it. You have to make sure you break their cycle though.

U said that no one else is getting bit but you. And it is when you go to bed? U should make sure that you don't have bed bugs. They can be similar to fleas, but a hell of a lot harder to get rid of.

Many of the suggestions above are good, but none of them mentioned a product that kills the eggs too. Check your labels. I don't suppose the vet would demand proof of owning a pet to see you the good stuff.

Once established, fleas are a big pain. 5 years ago, my sister's cats shared their fleas with my dog, and I never really wiped them out until fall set in and the dog went away to school.

Labman, the Siphotrol Plus that I mentioned, does get rid of the eggs too.

Lilmonica-All have giive you good answers;.The kind I named will also kill the eggs, and spraying the house and that is not susposed to be harmful to your dogs or csats, this is what the vets tell me . But this is your decision to make on what you use ,(TALK TO YOUR VET:">) F.B.E.

Flea bombs work well but I couldn't use one because of a cat and a big fish tank. Someone on another post suggested Raid flea spray so I tried it and now I'm flea free. I know what it's like, I really feel for you.
