$8.50 for a 4 lb bag of diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle liberally in your carpets, then vac up in a day or so. Although it is the consistency of powdered sugar to us, it scores fleas' shells and kills them.
Make sure the get Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth so there are no toxins in it that can harm your precious baby.
It will take a few days, then you will be flea free. Make sure to take the vac bag out to the dumpster after vaccuming, then reapply the diatomaceous earth.
Humidity will render this product useless because it soaks up moisture like crazy.
(Sorry to say so, but the cheapest source I've found online is Hellish Home Depot.)
I hope this is helpful!
PS - You and Patches will not even notice it's in the carpet unless you can see white powder. It flies everywhere so when you apply it, get close to the carpet. Sort of like an artist working with charcoal. LOL But, IMO, it sure beats paying an exterminator to spray poison in your home.
Hugs to you & Patches!
