fill little saucers with soapy water and leave with a lamp fixed on it, when the water warms up the fleas will be attracted to it, jump in the soapy water and die.
Hey it works, and it's cheaper than a bug bomb. plus no nasty chemicals.

When I moved into my new house the house was completely infested with fleas... The whole house is carpeted so I bought 12 lbs of baking soda ($5) and a 3 lb. box of iodized salt ($3) and mixed them together and sprinkled the carpets very well.. I let that sit overnight.. It's NOT harmful to pets/children.... I put a cheapie flea collar in my vacuum (canister). I also treated my dog with ZODIAC flea drops approx. ($13) for 4 month supply and gave her a bath with Dawn dishsoap, which kills fleas. Since the previous owners of the home smoked the baking soda/salt combo not only smothered and kills eggs/larve but, got rid of any smoke smell in the house and brightened the carpets ! I also used a couple packs of RAID foggers. Get one's with a guarantee in case they don't work you can get a refund from the company... You'll have to leave the house w/ your pet(s) but, it's worth it.. Just be sure to bomb all areas like the basement if you have one. You can check for fleas using a small bowl of dishsoap/water mixed with a light shining on it...Vacuum everyday for a couple months and empty the canister away from the house.. The fleas should be dead ! Just to be sure.... Good luck

Not a bomb. Fleas head for the corners. I recommend a RESIDUAL spray. Get the pets out of the house and anybody else and go around the inside perimeter of your house. This happened to us every house we've bought. Before anything goes in I do this. Works a hot damn.

I would recommend using Flea Bombs, such as the ones you can purchase at your Veteranarians office. the cheap ones dont work. You will have to leave the house and take your pets with you for about four hours and set your plants outside ,but this works really well. You should try the Once a month flea treatments for your pet to keep them from reinfesting your home.

Adopt a cat with no fleas let free inside the house and it will kill mice, mouse and fleas at the same time. Make sure to get a kitten.

Bengal brand flea and bug bombs. I haven't had anything in 3 years and this place was badly infested.

Deflea your pet first. Once they leave the animal the rest go away. Frontline is very effective.
