My cat's returning. How do I prevent her bringing fleas back?

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 3 years and 11 months old | 8 lbs

My 4 year old cat has become infested with fleas. I have removed her from the home and bombed it. Now it's coming up for her to return. How do I ensure that when she returns she wouldn't be bringing any fleas with her?
