Probably more practical for smaller flea issues but we use flea traps at night.
Get a shallow dish or saucer filled with water with a little washing up liquid, put an egg cup or similar in the middle with a battery tea light on top and leave the tea light on in a dark room. The fleas try to jump to the light but drown....

Get proper treatment from the vet, which will protect your house as well as your pet.

Presumably there are areas of your house that are more flea rich than others. I have found that a shallow dish of water with a little bit of fairy liquid, and an angle poise lamp to be very effective at drawing out the fleas.

They do go, eventually.
