Good luck!
Plain soap and water will kill fleas. Bathe your pets with soap and water, and then rinse well. Keep a spray bottle of one part apple cider vinegar and one part water handy to spray pets periodically. It will help keep fleas off of them as well. You can add a bit of essential oil (Lavender, lemongrass, cedar) to the bottle to make it smell better and repels fleas even better.

Garlic. "Advantages of Using Garlic to Get Rid of Dog Fleas
Using garlic is a natural, inexpensive and safe way to get rid of the fleas biting your dog. When garlic is added to a dog’s diet, it enters the blood stream and the scent and taste of the garlic gets into the skin. Fleas hate the scent and taste of garlic and jump off the dog. An added advantage is that your dog won’t suffer from bad breath due to the ingestion of garlic. You can administer garlic to your dog in many ways. You can either add a quarter of a clove of garlic to the dog’s wet food, or add a garlic tablet to the food. Alternatively, dust your pet’s coat with small amounts of garlic powder or you rub garlic salt into your pet’s coat to rid your pet of fleas."
