Do Fleas die in the winter?
Fleas thrive around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and it’s around this temperature when they complete their entire life cycle within just a few weeks.
One adult flea can lay many eggs in this short time. But cold temperatures don’t kill flea eggs they just slow down the life cycle. Fleas can hatch all through the winter.
The most common flea species, typically overwinters on hosts or in protected areas (carpet, bedding, etc.), provided temperatures are mild.
Adult fleas can be found on pets and wildlife throughout the winter.
As temperatures rise in the spring, immature stages of fleas are able to survive in the environment, allowing for adult flea populations to rapidly increase.
