Okay how do I get rid of them. I'm this close to removing everything from my room and fumigating it. I can't lay in my bed anymore. I can't even walk on the floor or they bite my legs. I've stopped allowing pets access to my room but it seems to have actually gotten WORSE. Help.
Sprinkle diatomaceous earth on pretty much everything. All over the mattress.

Before doing this, vacuum twice. Then, empty out the vacuum's bag/canister.
Also, get your pets some Frontline. Even if they're not allowed in your room, fleas will still get in there if they aren't treated.
Lastly, use the diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle it everywhere, especially along the edges of walls and baseboards, in your windowsills. by your doorframe and under your door.
Vacuum and empty the vacuum at least once a week. Re-apply the diatomaceous earth every month for 3 months.

Pets have been washed and applied with flea medicine already. Will follow instructions.

If this doesn't work, get yourself some Insect Growth Regulators made specifically for fleas. This will disrupt their life-cycle, and prevent the eggs and larvae from maturing into adults.
7 monthly treatments of IGR is the most I've ever had to recommend, and that was for a severe flea infestation that had been building up for months.
If the IGRs don't work, then call in a professional and have them fumigate the place. Stay out of the room for 24 hours.
Be sure to cover up anything that you use regularly (plates, laptops, desks) before fumigation. Leave your bed/mattress uncovered, then wash it in hot water twice before sleeping on it again.

maybe actually clean your room for once and you won't collect so many
