Child Friendly Flea Killer/Bombs

My house is having issues with fleas. We have tried DE (DIAMETRIOUS EARTH), a safe natural flea killer. It worked while my cat was still alive, but now, not so much. We also bought a spray from the vet that hasn't worked at all. I was wondering if anyone knew of the best way to get rid of these horrid creatures. I would appreciate names and specifics of the foggers/bombs, etc. We have been working on this since summer started. Thank you all for your input!
update: We have carpeted floors in a rented house and no pets at the moment.
We have tried Diametrious Earth. It isn't working anymore.

What can I do next?

I was soooo there! It was when we were between pets too and only had a kitten (it couldn't be treated with Frontline because it was to young). I swear they took over the house. I tried every thing borax, salt, and used those Foggers (I bought at Wal-mart) nothing seem to work! Like someone else posted vacuum! I would vacuum at least 2 times a day some times 3x's!! After each time you vacuum you need to take it outside and dump what you vacuumed straight in the trash...OUTSIDE. I would dump mine in a grocery bag outside and you could see them jumping around in the bag!! They are so annoying because once you think you have them gone the eggs hatch and they cycle starts over!! It takes a good month and I know it can be so frustrating but just stay on it!! Good luck!! My heart hurts for you because when we had fleas it was one of the most horrible times in my life!!!!

Vacuum Vacuum Vacuum...that is the BEST natural way to get rid of a flea problem. Also buy some borax in the detergent aisle and lay it on the carpets and let it set for 30 minutes to an hour and then vac it up...dries out the eggs and kills the larvae and damages the living fleas too I believe. I have never used a commercial chemically laden product in my house.
