How do i get rid of the sand fleas that have invaded my indoor plants?

looking for a safe way so the plants aren't harmed

Mist them with rubbing alcohol, take outdoors to do this..get them underside of the leaves also...If you don't have any on hand..use soapy water ( like dishwater) can drizzle it on and hold plant upside down to get the underside of the leaves also..won't hurt to get some on the soil...good luck.

- isolate the plants, so they don't travel back-and-forth.

it's my guess that they like the wet dirt. if so, then as dry as you can keep them w/o killing the plants would be good.
