Can I kill fleas with 15 degree weather?

Kiersen Mather asked 6 years ago

We have a flea exterminator coming this week, and they asked that we wash and dry all clothing and linens. I understand that this would kill fleas and eggs effectively, the bugger is that this is just a massive task. It gets down to about 10-15 degrees here at night, and up to about 30 degrees during the day. If I were to simply put my clothes in bags and leave them out for a couple of days, would it be cold enough to kill the fleas and eggs?

They say 5 days in the freezer will kill them. So long as the temp doesn’t go above freezing for 5 days it should work. Keep the bags small so they have max exposure to the cold is my thought
