Are flea bombs safe for my home and pets? What's the best way?

Question

Morning Petco Pet Education Center. Are flea bombs safe to use in a house please? 3 weeks ago pest control came in and today is the day i can start to hoover again. Yesterday i found a flea on my cat so i gave her her topical frontline 4 days early and a flea tablet. I used flea spray on the carpets and the couch. Even though i don't let her in my room,i sprayed my carpets as well. My washing will be going on a 60 degree wash today and now i can clean the non slip floors. How can i get rid of fleas altogether?

I personally do not recommend flea bombs, their safety is questionable as well as their effectiveness in some areas of the house. instead i would recommend to use a flea spray called Indoorex which is the safest and most effective one. i would also recommend using something else than frontline which is not very effective nowadays, try one of those: advantage, comfortis, advocate or bravecto.
