No products from pet stores work - so don't waste your money on ANY flea bombs! Get a spray from a vet.
I would think the Frontline didn't work because you bathed the cat - spot-ons can't work if you bath within 48 hours of using it, because baths wash off the natural oils of the skin and Frontline needs these in order to work. If you put Frontline spot-on on the back of a cat's neck, they can't lick it off.
Frontline and a decent housespray. Sorted.

Only use stuff approved by your Vet. Frontline adhears to the oils on the hair of your cat, so wait a few days after bathing to apply. Also, if the house if heavily infested you can apply the fronltine every 3 weeks as opposed to every 4 weeks. Vacuuming helps, wash all bedding etc. It may take a while but you have to keep up with it. Flea bombs are not safe for you or the cat. Also, try Borax....it's powered detergent. Sprinkle it on the carpets, etc. Good luck!

the best brand i found for fleas is Zodiac. Get the spray for your cat, use it after you bath her while she is still wet(yes she will hate it), there is also spray for your furniture and floors. The spray will work on your cat for two weeks. After they are gone a zodiac flea collar will probably keep them off of her without the fight that goes along with the spray.
