Put all dolls, stuffed animals that cannot be washed in garbage bags tied shut for at least 2 weeks.  Make sure and wash pillows, blankets, bedspreads, combs, brushes, hair bows, clips, barettes, pony tail holders, etc.  Wash any jackets they've recenty worn.  Spray all upholstered furniture and mattresses and air out, then vacuum thoroughly!  Vacuum carpet.  Spray and vacuum your vehicle, too.  The little critters are tenacious!  Been there, done that, shoulda had a T-shirt!!!  I feel for you!!
