Had a problem years ago when I a) had a cat and b) lived in a neighborhood essentially built on sand dunes which were full of fleas. They were everywhere in the carpet. My live-in girlfriend at the time was organic/natural/everything, so we couldn't use poisons. We bought diatomaceous earth (at natural food store), put it in the carpet and left it there for several days. (we even powered the cat). Then we vaccuumed it up. It was a mess, but that did it.
Later on, living on my own with the cat, we had a flea problem again and I again treated the carpet with a spray. Worked, but I felt like hell for a couple of days after. And it was a "natural" product. Depending on what you use, you may want to sleep elsewhere the night after you spray/bomb/whatever.
