Did you know that fleas don't tolerate higher altitudes?  I live at 4200' 
and there
are absolutely no fleas here.  2 yrs ago I got a kitten from the "lowlands" and 
could
see the fleas running around on his belly.  2 weeks later, no fleas.  I surmise 
that
the lower air pressure interferes with something vital, like breathing.

How can that be applied to a house at say 2000' or sea level?  I don't know but 
if
someone figures it out, they could sell their service with a 100% guarantee and 
make
a dang fortune.  :)
