My dog sleeps in my bed with me, as well as on the couch, and although she just began a Sentinel regimen, I notice she scratches a lot and I also found a flea on the side of my face when I was laying in bed yesterday. I have DE FLEA by natural chemistry, which it says can be used on pet bedding, but can it be used on people bedding too? What about the couch? Thank you for your time.

It is not so much the fleas you have to worry about it it is the flea eggs. These cannot be seen by your eye and will hatch for years to come and keep flea infestations coming back.

Take all your bedding and wash in hot water and dry on high heat as previously mentioned. Spray the bed. Wash all your clothing and pajamas in hot. Repeat this every few days as while the fleas are dying off, more eggs (thousands) are being laid.

As far as the carpet - I would actually call a professional to come and carpet clean. Be sure to tell them about the fleas as they can specially treat for that.
