I have had success with "Strike Flea-Enders" spray.  This product not only
kills the existing fleas, but prevents their eggs from maturing.  Normal
bug bombs kill the fleas, but the eggs that they have already lain in the
carpet will hatch in a short time.  If you use a normal flea spray on your
cat at the same time you use "Flea-Enders" on your house, your flea problems
should go away for at least several months.
