I recieved a cat condo from an unknown source that had a cat. I want to be sure it is not harboring fleas before I bring it in.. Other than spraying it with a flea /tick spray, will leaving it in my garage where it is below freezing (Minnesota winter) help kill any chance of fleas? If so.. how LONG would I need to leave the thing in freezing temps to be sure?

I'm not sure the EGGS of the fleas will ever be killed by freezing but there are some sprays that will kill eggs and larvae and are still safe for the cat. Vets have them.

A thorough cleaning should remove any flea eggs, larva or pupa. The pupas can live a long time in the ground when frozen. The eggs and larva should die. I would still clean thoroughly.

I agree w/Julie......but it wouldn't hurt to give it a GOOD VACUUMING!!
