Sometimes, I see a flea on our tiles too. I am very worried that our house might be invaded by these frustrating fleas.
By the way, my dogs stay both indoor and outdoor. I have tried putting tick repellent collars on them and they ended up pulling it off.

I don't cover my mouth when sprinkling the DE, and I let it sit before I vacuum it. Somebody told me several days was necessary. Haven't researched. But nobody in my house has asthma. I would think flea bombing would be far worse for your asthma than DE though.
Here is a flea trap idea complete with using battery powered tea lights.

We don't even have fleas. I'm just terrified of getting them. All forces out!
