Default Fleas,fleas & more fleas!!!

In addition to five tree frogs and two fire belly toads we also have two dogs and three cats. The problem is we stared getting fleas earlier this spring, and out of fear of killing the frogs and toads we haven't known what to do to keep them under control but wash and treat the dogs and cats. The fleas have been multiplying in the carpet to the point that we need to do something quick. Any safe ways to kill fleas in the carpet but not harm our frogs?

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Atom
