How can I repel fleas in my home safely?
Question by Purple People Eater: How can I repel fleas in my home safely?
We have a 6 year old boy and 3 cats. We've put flea medication on the cats, but there are still fleas living in the house. I've seen (and caught) a bunch of them. What can I do to make the fleas go away? I suspect they're in our bedsheets because every morning I wake up with more bites. Any home remedies that are child safe? I can't take it much longer!

I understand your dilema...........
Advice i was given (while I worked in nonchemical pest control) is to get tons of table salt (apparently fleas love it and eat it but the iodine kills them) and sprinkle it all over your carpets, mattresses, blankets and any soft surface..........let it sit for 24-48 hours (this will not hurt the kids or the cat unless you let the kids lick the floor 
The fleas will die and then vacuum them and change the vacuum bag so any eggs that you vacuumed are gone from the house.
Hope that helped
