I have a dog who is just now getting over a case of fleas (she got 'em from the dog run), and I used no powerful chemicals. I DID use baking soda, though, among other things (constant laundering of bedding, frequent dog baths, etc.). I doused the carpets with baking soda, a whole box per room, and left it to sink in there for an hour or two, then vacuumed it all up and threw out the bag. It works on fleas and it also works on odors.

I think this approach probably works as well as the vacuum bags (or possibly better - I don't really get how vacuum bags can work either) to remove odors and allergens, and is probably much cheaper.
