Q.
I am going to be bombing a bedroom in my house i have no pets but the people that lived there before me did.in the bedroom there are two closets that have no doors on them. My question is . . . .is it safe for the clothes and incase of any skin irrations for the people that wear them to leave the clothes still hanging to be bombed? I would take them out but I am afraid their may be fleas on them.

I am not a fan of bombing. There are aerosols that are easier to use, far more effective, and are kept on the floor so that the products do not get on your clothes, bedding, etc. Bombs and foggers go up in the air and land on top of things. They do not get under the bed, in the back of the closets -- and that is where the fleas are
I would suggest that you try Demize, since it is kept strictly on the ground, can be sprayed where it is most useful, and gets all FOUR stages of the flea, which no bombs or foggers get.

Q.
Whenever my animals get fleas, they always seem to like me best. We had an infestation once in my house and not one of the five people living there got bitten, yet I was just covered with bites. Is it my breath? Something I eat? My friend thinks it is because I have a high sugar diet.
