  I just spread the powder on the carpeting  and  dogs bedding   and left it 
there,   Next week did the same thing.    Once  the fleas were gone  I swept it 
all up.   They never came back.

  If you are allergic  then  why not  stay with friends  until this job is 
finished?

      Borax  does kill the fleas  but not the eggs  which is why you have to do 
it again  in a few days.     Twice was all I needed to get permanent riddance.

           I've also heard it's good for fleas? Is it? i"ve tried 
Everything..diatomaceous earth works some but not very fast and i am allergic 
to them.

        I don't know about that but the herb pennyroyal works great for fleas. 
I don't think it kills them but they hate it so if you manage to get rid of 
them, it keeps them away. We used to regularly get flleas until i discovered 
it, as the cats would bring them in. After that, I always spread some dried 
pennyroyal on the mattressess under the sheets and this kept the beds free. I'd 
also sprinkle some on the floors and then sweep it into the cracks in the 
floorboards (we had varnished floors).

        I'd then rub the herb over myself and take the cat outside and rub 
pennyroyal through it's coat. The cat didn't mind but you could literally see 
clouds of fleas leaping off it.  

        good luck
