You aren’t using the right kind of bombs. Insecticides kill the adult and larval fleas, but eggs are unaffected. You need to get bombs or spray that have insect growth regulator (IGR). This coats the surfaces in your home and the larvae ingest it as they eat the dirt they live on (dried blood particles, skin flakes). It prevents them from maturing and they die as juveniles, preventing them from laying eggs and continuing the cycle. A treatment is good for from 4 to 6 months. I was plagued with bites for months, and one right-kind-of-bomb treatment got rid of them.
