You can find flea treatment sprays for you household furniture and carpets at any store such as walmart, Home Deopt or Lowes which can help get rid of them in the house and are not harmful to you or the furniture. Also you will want to check your local pet store for flea treatment for you dog, such as flea collars, one-spot treatments and bathing products.
Adult fleas cannot survive very long without an animal host, but flea eggs and larvae can live for many many months in carpets, between floorboards and possibly down the cracks of sofas. If you believe you have a flea infestation, be sure to treat all the furniture with a vacuum cleaner and flea spray.
Use a proprietary flea-collar, or use a spot-on treatment as well as using a flea comb at least once a day to get rid of any adult fleas. If your cat has fleas, you need to treat the house, too. Wash all bedding, carpets, and other fabrics in the house frequently. Be sure to vacuum clean carpets, also. Eggs and larvae can live in carpets (and the vacuum cleaner bag) for months at a time, so vigilant cleaning is a must. Be sure to put a flea collar in the vacuum cleaner bag or replace with a new bag after each use. This ensures the bag doesn't become a place where eggs and larvae can grow and hatch!
Flea bites are small red dots that itch. Cats or dogs can bring them in from outdoors and they can multiply in carpets, bedding etc. My cat brought them in, and I had small bites all over my ankles and that's how I discovered the fleas. I used a flea bomb insecticide that can be bought at any pet shop and worked very well.
One of the most effective things you can do is to vacuum daily. Vacuum the carpets, furniture, mattresses, and other soft places they can hide. You can also try getting flea killing sprays. Set traps for fleas. Buy flea killing machines.
