Hi Tracy,

	It has to freeze, at least, and it seems that it must list a bit in
order to really kill the little buggers. I'm going to research this
question, as it is a good one, as I know most of us want to use as little
medicating as possible to do the job.
Darla & hardworking  Huck

I guess flea season around here ends around the end of October.  It depends
on the weather.
Anyone actually know at what temperature fleas become inactive?
