About 10 yrs ago I moved into a place that had fleas from previous tenants. The landlord replaced the carpet... but was not smart or knowledged enough to not also spray or remove all the stages of fleas before putting the new carpet in. 

After a long battle the only thing that helped and to my knowledge got rid of them was putting down tons of Morton salt and vacuuming a week after putting salt down. Do this 4 times.  Then throw your vacuum away.

I moved out after living there for about 6 months but I believe they were completely gone. Didn't see a flea again and I lived there for months after.

Oh Friday, fooled me again.

I seriously doubt that any insecticide treatment of the house will damage comic books.

 

Public Service Announcement:

 

On the other hand, most flea infestations can be controlled by treating household pets with a quality product such as Frontline, Advantage or Capstar.

 

Fleas have to take a blood meal from an animal in order to reproduce. If they are unable to do so, they will not reproduce. Treating pets in the household should accomplish this.

 

In general, treating all household pets, washing their bedding and vacuuming carpeting, etc. (being sure to throw out the vacuum bag afterward) is sufficient to take care of most flea problems.

 

End PSA

That's we do with my wife's cat and we've never had a problem with fleas even though she goes out nearly every day during the warm weather months.  I think my wife has to apply it every month.
