Answer 4

If the temperatures get cold enough for long time, fleas will go dormant and many will die. However, if the temperatures do not get very cold, fleas will stay active.
Pets can still get fleas during the winter, even if its really cold. Fleas can live in people's homes, in the carpets, bedding, etc.
Keep your pets on flea preventative all year long.

Answer 5

In the winter, fleas hide out in warm places, i.e your home. Outside, their eggs lay dormant until it's warm enough for them to hatch.

Yes, cats and dogs still get fleas in the winter. When you turn your central heating on it provides a haven for them! Fleas are not seasonal as once believed. You can avoid this by treating your animals the year round - do be sure to only ever use veterinary products for your house and animal, like Frontline, because pet store treatments don't work.

hi i had a flea infestation in my house2 years ago from animals.No matter what product i tried and despite treating all my animals and keeping the house clean no joy, i was getting bitten nearly every day! I decoded to call a pest control agent who specialised in fleas found locally in the local yellow pages directory.He told me to get all my floors vacumed and furniture etc off of carpets. He came early in the morning and sprayed the whole floors in every room in under 20 minutes with an insecticide ,it left a wet look to everthing but he assured me it would dry out. he advised me to remain out of the house for a minimum of 4 hrs which was easy as i work full time. he advised that fleas love fabrics such as carpets,rugs etc so can easily live in a warm house through summer to winter. They even like to live under wooden floor boards little buggers!When i returned home all carpets and floor boardswere dry and and no horrible whiff .I swear to this day even after 2 years i have not( touchwood )had a flea problem since,fantastic and it only cost me £50.00!!! Add up the amont you spend on flea products over the year??? Ca Problem cann be resolved in 1 day by 1 spray. Go for it you will be glad you did hun. Good luck.

yes animals can still get fleas in the winter but once the fleas are in the house nice and toasty they probably will not leave you have to wash your pets down leave them outside for about 30 min and they should be good as gone.

Answer 9

I won't say your pet CAN'T get fleas in winter, if there are some hiding in a relatively warm place. But otherwise they go dormant in winter.
