No they don't. It's like the pass out and then get up again after a few minutes. I pulled one off my dog when I was giving him a bath and I put the flea in the jar. It looked like it was dead. I went back to finish my dog's bath and when I went back to the jar the flea was moving. I used bleach to kill it.
There's special flea shampoo for it, and you can find it at petco, petsmart, etc.

How long does it take for a flea to drown?
Fleas will stay alive on the surface of a cup of water for days. Most often they will crawl out and escape. They can even escape from the sink when you run the faucet on them. Push them down into the bottom of a cup of water and they will die within seconds due to the pressure of the water on their little flea lungs.
Will fleas jump off a dog after flea drops are applied?
Yes. They jump off and into the carpet, etc. furniture. One way to eliminate fleas on the dog is to bathe them, neck down, then do the head. You may see the fleas going down onto the nose or into the ears. I use Eucalyptus soap, but as long as you use soap and water it will drown the fleas. Vacuum a lot, and dispose of the bag immediately to the trash. Soap works faster and more safely than pesticides with fleas. Be sure to lather up the dog or cat and don't hurry to rinse off... let the fleas absorb into the lather, then rinse. Shampooing will eliminate the live fleas, pesticide will not; it weakens them (and your dog).
Can dial soap kill fleas?
When I was little my mom always used Ivory bar soap. My sister-in-law swears by dial bar or liquid. I think its the soup changing the density of the water and drowning the fleas. I'm sure some kinds of soap drys out the animals skin though. Dish washing liquid mixed with water, about 1/2 inch of in a pan will drown the fleas also.
How long can fleas live underwater?
If you are refering to washing your dog to rid it of them it depends....you can use a tub half full of warm water a cup of white vinegar and and two cups of dawn soap.The souloution will cause the fleas to abandon ship because they do not like the smell of vinegar and the soap creates a break on the suface of the water creating the fleas to sink and drown in a matter of seconds. trust me im doing it now on a stray puppie i found this morning..litterally thousands of fleas were on it and now almost gone.
Will dawn dishing washing liquid get rid of fleas on cats?
Yes, I got a kitten a year ago, and the poor thing was infested with fleas! The kitten was too young for flea shampoo, so we decided to try dawn dishwashing liquid and it worked. If you do research on fleas, you'll find that if you put a candle in a bowl with dish wash water on the floor at night, fleas will go to it and drown in the water. This is because it cuts the tension in water and they will drown. Same principal applies to putting it on your cat, it will kill them. I washed my kitten in water with dawn dish washing liquid and then comb the fur with a comb.....regular one from the dollar general store made for humans :) and they would fall right out, all dead! My kitten had no skin reaction. We did have to take him to get dewormed. When cats have lots of fleas they may accidently ingest some when cleaning their fur. This causes cats to get worms.
