    I worked at a pet store and one or the big problems with many flea sprays or bombs is that they kill the fleas and leave the eggs. Make sure you get a product that states "kills flea eggs". Vacuum afterwards. You may have to repeat this depending on the infestation. But if it does not state that it kills eggs you are wasting your money.

  • Use a Insect powder first then vacuum away the eggs then if there fleas in the carpet get the carpet cleaner and vacuum up.

    Then get a carpet cleaner and clean the floor to see if you missed any but, after you washed the carpets with the carpet cleaner they should be all gone.

    No, the eggs fall below the level where the lint roller will reach. You'll get some, but not all. Vacuum daily and toss the bag, or wrap it tightly in heavy plastic and freeze it between vacuums. You don't want those eggs hatching in the vacuum bag.

    bomb the house then vacuum. The bomb will kill the fleas and eggs everywhere and vacuuming will get them up. After they are dead they cant clinch on to anything.
