Found flea dirt!! *edit*

 You can wash the pets with original dawn soap. be sure to get under the tail and between the toes (they like to hide) everywhere just not in the eyes. Let it sit on the skin for a min or 2 it will kill the adult fleas almost instantly. Makesure to wrinse really really really well leaving soap on your pets skin can cause more harm than good. Itchy loose hair ect... But a bath will only get rid of the fleas, and sometimes not all, on the pet at that moment as soon as they are out the fleas in the carpet or out side will jump right on no consequences. Flea collars only protect the immediate area of where they are.

you can bug bomb the house (needs to be repeated in 2 weeks due to larva hatching), or use talcum powder. After either one of those treatments vacuum really well and dump the bag or bin outside in the trash since they could crawl out again. Wash all of your bedding and anything the pet has slept on really well. don't forget to washout kennels if there's flea dirt there's flea eggs (they are the white specks you see mixed in the dirt)

Using a flea comb on the pets, dip the comb in the soapy water to remove the fleas. But the eggs hatch in a couple weeks.

Fleas can also come in on shoes, even when the household doesn't have pets.

I'd say shake out your clothes before moving them. Fleas like to stay near the floor- so I doubt you'll carry any to your new place on your clothes. Maybe on any rugs that you move. Before you move make sure the fleas are off of the pets- even take them for a flea bath as you are moving.  I might not take rugs, or wash those that you can. Or what I might do, which probably isn't the best, I'd put rugs in garbage bags and  spray with flea spray and seal up the bags. Then air them out when getting to the new place. Advantage or frontline will help keep the pets free of fleas, although you said that was out. And we paid the money and had the house exterminated and finally are flea free.

It is tiny black dots, about the size of a comma.  I keep a light colored sheet on my bed so that when the cats sleep on the bed that I can see if there are little black bits on the sheet. There aren't. But years of fighting fleas have made me wary.

I'm kind of curious to know what "flea dirt" looks like, and what it did when you put water on it to see if it was flea poo

I'm a vet tech & have been for the past 10 years. Def wash all the pets with Dawn dish soap. You can use Pet Armour Plus, it's the same ingredient as Frontline & is alot cheaper (they sell it at Walmart). Don't use any other flea products on the pets but that (no shampoo's, powders or other flea meds). And vacume, vacume, vacume. You can buy a flea collar, cut it up into a few pieces & put it in your vacume cleaner bag or canister & vacume the whole place atleast once a day. If you don't see any live fleas on the pets you will probly be ok. Good Luck.

 You can also sprinkle rugs and furnature with borax powder (dirt cheap on the laundy isle).... ththen vaccum

for my cat, I just buy BioSpot at PetSmart or through Dr's Foster adn Smith online.

for dogs you could add garlic to their food (which I do in additon to biospot as with small children I am not willing to spray my yard)

The best thing to do to prevent an infestation is to use the Pet Armour Plus on the pets. That will kill all the adult fleas & whatever fleas hatch from the eggs will then die & whatever fleas are in the house will jump onto the pets & then die. Besides that just keep vacuming. That's all you really need to do. Don't worry about calling an exterminator, all of those bombs & insecticides are very bad for you & the baby. Good Luck hun.
