So What Happened?

Thanks everyone! I ended up going to Creature Comfort Animal Clinic like Brandy recommended and they were so helpful. I got the stuff they recommended. It is safe for the family and lasts a long time. I can already tell a difference and it has just been one day.

Treat your yard with nematodes and diatomaceous earth, as they are probably outside too.

Then you can use diatomaceous earth on your carpets as well- it's all natural and non toxic. Call around, but a landscaping/feed store will most likely have it. Try Nicholson Hardie if you don't get anywhere as I'm pretty sure they carrry it.

table salt and borax
spread it all over and vacuum up with moth balls in the vacuum cleaner.

You can also get the diatomaceous earth at any pool supply store.
