[Dailydrool] Help with fleas in home!

> I'm writing for a friend who is being eaten up by fleas in her bed!  Courtesy of her three adorable dogs (including one glorious big old hunk of bassetness), who apparently brought home a bunch of their tiny new friends.  She's been researching everything on line but can't find a solution that seems right.  She's obviously afraid to use anything that could hurt her dogs (who sleep with her).  Her elderly, frail mother lives with her, and she herself has asthma, which seem to rule out any flea bombs.

> She's washing her sheets and vacuuming every day, but does anyone have any other suggestions?  Any safe but effective sprays or powders for the bed and rugs?  Any traps or electric devices?  Any old fashioned grandma's remedy?  Any hope?  She's really despairing.  She took the dogs to the vet for flea baths, but the damage seems to be done, her poor legs are covered with bites and the fleas keep munching at night.
