Most freezers run at around 10F which I've always found to be adequate. According to what I just now looked up on google (to make sure I was right) fleas will die at 44F....so as you can see, they're quite vulnerable to freezing. I buried a flea loaded cottontail in a snowbank over night and the next day many of the fleas were alive and kicking.
