Get an old Parmesan cheese shaker and fill it with Borax laundry powder then just sprinkle all over you yard. All the fleas will leave your yard and go to neighbors. As for the inside of your house do the same to all carpeted rugs, let it set for a couple of hours, and then vacuum. It is safe for your dogs and children. Go to the Borax website for many other uses for your home.

Borax: They do NOT recommend their product to kill fleas. From their website: U.S. Borax does not sell any product into the borate/borax flea control or carpet application businesses. In keeping with our product stewardship commitment to our customers, we recommend against the use of borate products for carpet applications. These applications include boric acid, borax or other borate-containing products intended for use on carpets as deodorizers or flea control agents.
These carpet-use patterns are different from all other borate product uses in that they present the opportunity for small children or pets to ingest borates directly from the carpets. It is not feasible to assess the extent of exposure to children and pets under all possible scenarios, due to the variety of parameters that determine exposure from carpets (e.g. variation in carpet type, borate product type, application method and rate, vacuum efficiency and frequency, and individual behavioral patterns of children or pets). Without adequate exposure information, U.S. Borax cannot determine the level of risk that may result from carpet-use patterns; therefore, we do not support the use of borate products for carpet flea control applications by anyone, especially consumers.
