    Vacuum, wash all bedding, get into every crack and crevis you possibly can. I use amonthly flea treatment called Revolution. It's cheap, but you have to get it from the vet. It treats all 3 stages of the fleas and also some worms. I find I don't need to treat in the winter months but spring and summer I do monthly doses. You can get household treatments from a pet store or walmart.

    Ditto, Stick to the products that you can get from your vet. The department store products, although less pricey, simply don't work as well.
