Borax and baking soda into the carpeting; leave for two weeks and then
vacuum.
Diamacetous (sp) earth in cat's fur is good but I don't know about for
kittens!!!!
You have to be VERY CAREFUL with kittens....good luck.

If you decide to use diatomaecous earth, make SURE that you use FOOD
GRADE, and not pool grade.

Is this earthblends safe for cats? I never heard of it. I would check
with your vet just to be sure, although I'm sure you probably already
did. It's the over the counter preps you have to really be careful
about. I know the Hartz brand has caused serious problems, and even
death in cats. Anyway, good luck and let us know how it goes.
