A simple flea trap I use. I never use sprays anymore.

Take a small piece of wire fencing like I use, 2x4 welded wire fencing. 10 inches wide, eight inches long. Bend two inches of the edges down to create a three sided cage, no bottom or ends.
Place inside face up a paper glue trap, Tomcat or Catch Master glue boards. On top of the wire cage place a night light as used in a baby’s room in an extension cord. 7watt bulb works better, 4 watt will do. Shut off all the lights except the night light, close the doors to make the room dark.

OR you can plug the light into an outlet, underneath the outlet place the cage with the glue board in it.
Next morning the trap will be loaded with caught fleas. Use it for several weeks to catch other fleas as they hatch.

The wire cage is to prevent you from stepping on the trap and keep the light off the glue board.
