You don't have to have a pet to get fleas. Drop a mothball or vacuum up some moth crystals in your sweeper bag to prevent any 'buggies' you may pick up in your sweeper. This will prevent them from 'nesting' in your sweeper bag.

Put a flea collar in your vaccum bag.

I used to sell top of the line vacuums. Few have any way to trap fleas or other bugs, so an even wiser solution is to tie the disposable bag up immediately and toss it...THEN add a mothball or two to the NEW
bag. Pray that you don't have to vacuum them up
too many MORE times, but repeat the tie/toss if you
DO! Never assume the critters will be eradicated by
the moth balls, only chased out of the vacuum IF you forget to tie/toss them, BELIEVE ME, PLEASE, FOR
YOUR OWN SAKE. FLEA EGGS ARE MICROSCOPIC AND VERY DIFFICULT TO GET RID OF, SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FOR SEVERAL REGULAR WEEKLY
VACUMINGS/TIES/TOSSES AND YOU'LL NOT REGRET IT, EVEN THOUGH IT WILL ONLY "REDUCE" IN MOST
CASES. REMEMBER THAT THE FLEAS GET INTO ALL
CRACKS, CLOTH, FIBERS, PAPERS, DUST, BEDDING, PILLOWS, DIRT, POT PLANTS, SILK PLANTS, DRAPES, ETC., SO DON'T CONCENTRATE ON JUST THE FLOORS. I'D HAVE EXTERMINATION TWICE WITH SOMETHING ORGANIC IF IT WERE BADLY INFESTED. REMEMBER ALSO TO DIP THE PETS REGULARLY AND TO SPRAY THE YARD V E R Y WELL, ESPECIALLY WHERE THE PETS REST.

I'M CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL KEEP AT IT AND KEEP
PRAYING, TOO. GOD BLESS YOU.

PLEASE be aware breathing in vapors from mothballs/flakes is harmful.
