1. treat the yard
2. spray around the foundation and all entrance ways
3. flea bomb the house including the garage
4. wash ALL laundry, including tennis shoes
5. vacuum thoroughly including your car(s)
6. flea bomb again in about 7-10 days. This is important to kill any remaining eggs and next generation buggers.
It's a lot of work but you will be successful. I know this sounds like overkill, however, having applied this technique I know it definitely works.

This is the strategy I used.
#6 is critical as the eggs in the carpet can survive the first flea bombing. If you wait longer than 7-10 days, you run the risk of the new generation maturing long enough to lay more eggs.
