Help! I have a flea problem. What can I do to get rid of them for good after many attempts have been made?

Since my cat died June 30th, I have had a flea issue (probably had an issue before but not at this magnitude) my home is @750 sq feet, so it's small. I used flea bomb stuff last week Wednesday with two cans (according to the can, one should work in my whole house, but I used two cans) I still had issues. Sunday morning I vacuumed the whole house again, used three flea bombs in my house, and during that time I was at the laundromat washing all of my bedding and pillows in hot water. Last night I found a few more fleas. This is irritating me to no end.

I do not have any other animals in the home to worry about, by the way.

What can I do? I don't want to have to evacuate my home two or three times a week just to use that flea bomb stuff. I'm following the instructions on the container, too, so I don't know what else I can do.

Help me please!

    i also have a flea problem, what we do is take a bowl of soapy water and put it under a light close to the ground (nightlight will work). the fleas jump for the light and fall off the light into the water and drown. the soap makes them drown faster and sink. good luck!
