Does steam cleaning the carpet work?
If you're just trying to get rid of fleas, adjectives you need is a big box of baking soda. sprinkle it everywhere and let it sit over darkness, then vacuum well. Do this a couple times. Spray near a mixture of peppermint oil and water, smells great and kill fleas naturally.
You could have a carpet company come out and steam it beside a "pet treatment" additive in the solution..

If you are going to own a pet, yourself, make sure it has some topical flea treatment close to Frontline. Buy this from the VET and not the store. The stuff at the store is crap.
Answers:    You can buy a can of Raid Flea Fogger, flea bomb, or similar product, and it does a legitimate good job of massacre the fleas. I would just let the house nouns out for a while afterward because you don't want to breathe this stuff and limit exposure as much as possible. After you bomb those fleas, sprinkling Borax over the carpet and letting it go and get down to the carpet pad is a method that interrupts the breeding cycle of fleas. So you're bloodbath them and not allowing them to reproduce. Bang. You're done. The borax thing is something a professional exterminator would use and then charge you 40 bucks for it, and the borax individual costs about 3 dollars. And no, steam cleaning does not kill fleas. They are intensely resilient insects.
