Backstory: Dog and cat have fleas. I'm taking them to the vet Friday night to be boarded and while there, they are getting bathed and flea treatments. I was planning on flea bombing the house and H and I would stay elsewhere for the night.
I was reading the instructions on a flea bomb and it says to turn off any open-flame source (pilot light) or electric items that kick on (furnace, fridge). It makes me nervous to turn the furnace off at this time of year because I don't want our pipes to freeze and burst.
So to my question- is it worth it to bomb the house, or should I just vacuum, spray the stuff the vet gave us (Knockout and it works pretty well) Friday night and vacuum again Saturday morning? I've never had to flea bomb a house, so I'm a newb at this stuff.
ETA: I meant to add people who have had to do this, is it worth the trouble?
