Fleas are extremely hard to get rid of. they lay eggs in places you wouldn't think of. you have to constantly vaccume your home in each crack and crevis. Using dawn dish soap will kill the fleas but it is also very harsh on your dogs skin and hair. spraying vinegar or lemmon around the house before and after using your sweeper everywhere will help out a lot. In my opinion, I would not bomb because of the danger to my furbabies.

I took this directly off of the frontline web site under their FAQ's.

Fleas and ticks do not have to bite your pet for FRONTLINE Brand Products to work. FRONTLINE Brand Products kill fleas and ticks if they simply come into contact with your pet's hair coat. The fleas will die within 18 hours of contact with your treated pet, and ticks will die within 48 hours.

we have only had a problem with fleas once. and boy were they hard to get rid of.
while the fleas are still alive they still bite you and your dog. even if they die in a few minutes after comming in contact with a treated dog.
