Put some water into a cookie sheet

Drizzle a bit of dish soap through the water

Place a table lamp in the middle of the room floor where the fleas are

Place the cookie sheet right next to the lamp.

During the night, the fleas will jump at the heat of the lamp – fall into the water and because of the soap, they will drown.

I swear it works like a charm.

Need to do this a couple of nights in a row then repeat every three days until fleas are gone.
