How can I get rid of fleas from my carpet and floors?

rep asked:

I recently got rid of our 2 cats who were flea-ridden, about 5 weeks ago but we are still having problems with fleas left in the house. I am also 6 months pregnant, so chemicals are out of the question. How can fleas survive without a food source for over a month? I would like this problem resolved before our baby comes. Any advice?
We have vacuumed the whole house twice now, but we have a hepa filter vacuum that is bagless and you just dump it out. Could the fleas be living in the filter and inside the vacuum?

Also, we have NOT noticed any flea bites on ourselves. What are they surviving on?

Is there any safe (non-toxic) and effective way of getting rid of fleas in the home?

My cat picked up fleas and I cannot seem to be able to eliminate those buggers. I tried giving my cat a flea bath, using Frontline Plus, vacuuming very frequently, and had the yard treated for fleas and other bugs, but the fleas still persist.

Are there any other options for dealing with these pests?

I have been hesitant to use many of the flea chemicals because they are toxic and I have small children in the home.

I appreciate all the answers but many of the advice is for those living in houses… I live in an apartment and have no plants… thanx!
