Yeah, the fleas will die in the cold. The eggs won't though, and come warm weather next year, you will eaten alive. Worse than this year. You need to bomb again. Flea eggs are almost indistructable and new babies are constantly hatching into your previously clear house.

You also need to treat all your pets as well. Get them all on Frontline or Advantage. They will prevent new infestation, but you still need to get rid of all the fleas currently living in your space.

Vaccum. Twice a week for 2 weeks. That has proven to be the most effective method for me. Bomb then vaccum if you want.

You also need to treat your yard. You and your pets can "track" them in just like mud on clothes and fur. Bummer if you just treated, now you've been infested again. There are sprays at pet and hardware stores. Follow package directions to the letter!! That's very important. Pay close attention to the "re-treat" directions. (on the house bombs too) Like I said, you gotta treat everything a few times to kill all the new babies.

Oh dear!

Unfortunately, those in your house will not die. And those outside will probably only go dormant.

I've never tried foggers: The visions I have of the residue getting on stuff that my pets and I use gives me the willies. But there is a way to get rid of fleas. Unfortunately, it does take a huge ammount of effort. But it will be worth it.
