Insecticides are the only real way. I have tried the pans of water on the floor (fleas are supposed to jump into them and drown at night. Not.) Salt in the rug (tears up the backing of the rug.) And some home concoctions I was given years ago. None of them worked.

Good luck in the never ending fight against fleas.
