Hoover! The hoover needs to be your best friend for the next week; also keep changing the bags so fleas don't simply hop back into the house. Freeze things like slippers (I know it sounds mental) but freezing kills them. I sympathise because they are complete bastards.

You do actually have one advantage: it's January so they aren't as widespread/ active. We had on outbreak in the middle of a hot summer a few years back and it nearly drove us mad.

So keep hoovering, washing, etc best you can- eventually they'll subside but (promise!) in the interim they will be totally infuriating. Try not to let them get to you.
