First, choose a product that has the ingredient IGR that will prevent fleas to reach the reproductive stage.  Also, be sure to purchase enough that will cover the entire house. Check the directions on the product because many are designed to cover a certain amount of space within a house. If you are wondering where to buy flea bombs, they can be found at hardware stores and pet stores.

Tape shut all of the cabinets or move anything used to prepare food from the home. Be sure all food is properly wrapped and stored. Move all furniture to uncarpeted areas. All carpeted areas should be exposed to the chemical because fleas tend to live in the carpets. Make sure that all of the windows and entrances are shut as well.

Remove all pets and pet items such as litter boxes, toys, cages and tanks from the home. Most importantly, make sure all people are out of the home as well.

Place the bomb, or bombs, in the intended areas. Following the instructions of the product, release the bombs and leave the premises immediately. Stay out until the listed time has elapsed.

Once you have returned, give the treated area a good cleaning as guided. Typically you will need to vacuum all carpets and dust all surfaces that have come into contact with the insecticide. Wash any dishes, pots, pans, linens, pillows and counter tops.

One of the most important things to remember is to always follow the instruction on the product. Another thing to consider is to flea-dip your pets right before the house is bombed and straight away remove them. While fleas can be a nuisance, a flea bomb can restore your home to a pest free state very effectively.
