Getting Rid of Fleas in a Flat?

There's been a flea infestation for many months. We've got 3 flats. Pros have done flea bombs and spray of some type. The 2 empty flats were successful, but the one I'm living in wasn't. I'm so stressed because they're in my towels and clothes. My house is spotless, as well. It is very disturbing. I tried Staykill twice, to no avail. Please advise me. Thank you.

Try a different product. Do it once and again 3 weeks later.

One thing that fleas do not like is eucalyptus. You could use the essential oil in a diffuser, or even place sachets throughout your dwelling. I find that the smell of eucalyptus is a lot more pleasant than dealing with fleas, but that is my own personal preference. They also do not like black walnut leaves. When other products did not work, my mom would find someone with a black walnut tree and get some leaves, placing them in strategic locations throughout(like under couch/sofa cushions, in cupboards etc.) We never had flea trouble as long as we used these methods and they are a lot less toxic than sprays and bombs.
