Yes. While you may never get rid of all the fleas in all life cycles you can do many things that will help you rid your home of fleas.

Adult fleas are the only stage of flea that bites and sucks blood.

If you have pets in your home, treat them first with Advantage or Frontline, some type of medical flea deterrent applied to the skin.

Frequently bathe your pet in warm soapy water. You can use flea shampoo but follow directions and be careful with this.

You should vacuum your carpet several times a week, paying attention to corners. this will kill the larvae and ovum stages of the flea.

Pet bedding and human bedding such as sheets in hot water and dry in the dryer.

This will kill all flea stages on your bedding.

You can use home flea sprays on carpets and bedding but be careful as some of these are very toxic. Follow directions to the letter to avoid toxic exposure. Do not inhale flea sprays or treatments.
