Borax vs. Salt for Fleas

We are infested with fleas, I guess lots of other people are having this problem this year. it's VERY frustrating and driving us NUTS. We've got more flea bites than the CAT! I guess they're called "sand fleas" or something like that. They come in from the grass outdoors on our clothes and such.

Anyway... I've seen posts about 20 Mule Team Borax and also about SALT. We've tried the Diotamaceous Earth - it works a little bit but the fleas are still here.

We have a very old house with pine wood floors as well as area rugs. Do you recommend Borax or salt and how should we use it?

Thanks so much in advance for a prompt reply from anyone who knows.
