Carpeted floors, rugs, wood floors, and upholstered furniture should be vacuumed regularly.

Vacuum more frequently in rooms that your pets visits often, in high-traffic areas, such as doorways, and under furniture where pets spend time.

During periods of infestation, be sure to change your vacuum bag frequently, and seal it tightly before disposing.

During an active infestation, you may want to vacuum some rooms twice, since your first pass through may stimulate new adults to emerge from their cocoons.

Since fleas tend to stay close to ground, be sure to clear floors, including closets, before vacuuming.

Steam cleaning and shampooing is an effective method of eradicating eggs, larvae, pupae and adult fleas. The thicker the carpet, however, the more likely some larvae and eggs will survive.  Wash uncarpeted floors weekly is possible.

Remove carpet only as a last resort.
