Should I wash my clothes after spraying for fleas?

Question: Orkin was here yesterday to spray our house for fleas. We washed linens and clothes in hot water, but what about items in closets and drawers? Should these clothes, linens, towels and coats that are folded or hanging in closets and drawers be cleaned as well?

Answer: You should not have to wash any clothes that were in the closets and drawers.
