Frontline is great, but it only kills the fleas when they bite the cat or dog, so getting the out of the carpet sounds like what you need to do.
Actually, with frontline and other topical treatments the flea does not have to bite your dog, it just has to come in contact with them. However, it's different with revolution and other pills, then the flea does have to bite them for it to work.

you may want to go to Advantage until you know they're off the dog. I found Advantage works great for getting rid of fleas. Hope this helps!
I too feel that advantage is the way to go if you are just having a problem with fleas. I had my dogs on frontilne and I still had fleas, but now they are on advantage and no fleas. I know others have had good luck with frontline tho.

I don't have any personal experience with bug bombs. I know my friend used them once and it worked well for her. She did have to use the first bomb and then did a follow up bomb a week or two later, but that worked for her. I'm sure there are many factors that play a roll in how well they work. The size of your home, the number of fleas, how well your home is sealed, stuff like that. You should ask your landlord if you are allowed to bomb or spray before you do anything.

I'm sorry for your misfortune. Good luck.
