If you are going to do a bomb/treat your home, make sure you kill all the fleas on your pets first. Capstar will make sure nothing is left on your pet for 24 hours. I only have experience giving it to dogs and cats, so ask your vet regarding the bunny if he gets fleas.
(Every time my pets are borded, they're given Capstar by the vet techs so they know the facility is clean as well.)
I was going to suggest this, but the only problem is OP is saying they're seeing eggs, and Capstar works on adult fleas only.
But yes! You can buy it OTC now. On Amazon too!
Giving flea treatments to a cat that doesn't actually HAVE fleas is fairly pointless. As far as good flea treatments, stay away from seargents, frontline ect. They can be very dangerous to cats causing cancer, liver problems ect in the long run. When my long haired cat gets fleas I use these two products one called "Capstar" (I know it says for dogs but it doesn't really matter if you get the dogs or cats one) and another called "Program" its a two part treatment that the cat takes orally (I mix it into wet food so they don't know) and one of them kills all existing fleas and one of them keeps any eggs from hatching and its done through some sort of enzymes that only harm the fleas and not the cat. I have great success with this and it doesn't make my cat sick like the gel products do.
The collars and powders don't work. There is a pill called Capstar which will kill fleas... my vet uses it when we had to board our dogs:
"You can safely use Capstar Flea Tablets for Pets on cats and dogs older than 1 week and weighing more than 2 pounds. Capstar for fleas is also safe to use on pregnant or nursing cats and dogs. Capstar flea pills are great for welcoming home new pets, sending pets to kennels or pet boarders."
The effects last for 24 hours, so you need to start topical flea treatment within that time. You can use the capstar once a day until the spot treatment kicks in... which can take a day or two. Then, if you keep using the spot treatment monthly you should not have issues with fleas.
The Advantage II is the spot treatment I'd use. You apply the medication between the shoulder blades, and it does the rest.
Capstar, you can buy it on Amazon here: http://smile.amazon.com/Capstar-Flea-Tablets-Cats-Single/dp/B005Z6UL1M/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1449439763&sr=1-1&keywords=capstar
Use with a topical like Frontline, as a preventative, which is also available on Amazon from the manufacturer. http://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_6_3?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A2619533011%2Ck%3Afrontline%2Cp_89%3AMerial%2Cp_6%3AATVPDKIKX0DER&keywords=frontline&ie=UTF8&qid=1449440129&rnid=2661622011
I recommend starting an Amazon wishlist.

Since you've already treated with topical flea killer, Capstar is a Godsend!
I also spray all bedding, carpets, furniture, etc. with Zodiac. That shit gets the job done! 👍🏻
After that, it's just a matter of breaking the fleas' life cycle by continuing to administer topical flea treatment.
Good luck! 🍀
