Dont know if anyone else does this but I dont "flea" mine over winter. The little beggars seem to be dormant during cold weather. I stop applying from about november til about march and I have never had a problem with mine.

I use frontline but Combo not spot on as the combo kills any beasties where ever they may hide in bedding and such

Same as sami , we don`t use frontline in the winter , just to give them a break really , never up to now had a problem ,although cass had her first tic of the year a couple of days ago , on the top of her head  so will start the frontline again as it does kill tics
