Need help getting rid of fleas

I don't know where they came from b/c I don't have any pets but my sister and SIL both have cats and they have each lived in my basement for a period of time.

In any case, I have them and I am so grossed out. I already bombed the house TWICE about 2 months ago and now they are back.

I don't really want to use the bug bombs again b/c I have 2 small kids and am not comfortable with all the chemicals so I've looked into natural remedies and am considering using baking soda plus salt. Has anybody ever done this? Did it work for you? Did you have to treat every square inch of your house?

Whatever treatment I end up with, do I have to do the whole house, or can I just do the rooms where I've seen them? I'm so afraid 1 little critter has made its way into my girls rooms. How often do I need to repeat this tedious process? I obviously didn't get them all last time so how many times will I have to do this???

I had a bad flea problem years ago and I used a product called Control. This product works great. I would treat all the rooms that have carpet on them and wash any fabrics you have, bed sheets, blankets and curtains.

Oh Good God!! It's gonna take me forever! Do I use the Control before washing everything or after? Where do I get this?
