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.

Fleas can survive underwater for up to 24 hours, so it may take some time for them to drown. However, drowning is not the most effective way to eliminate fleas.
