This will depend upon whom you want to talk to, and how much risk you are willing to accept in terms of flea and tick infestation.
The closer to the equator you get, the more likely you'll need to apply flea/tick preventive (such as Frontline) to your pets. This is because locations closer to the equator have less distinct temperature differences throughout the year, so it is more likely fleas and ticks will be active throughout the year.
Also, the more active your pet is outside, the more likely you'll need to apply Frontline throughout the year to prevent a flea or tick infestation. Even in the dead of winter, if you get a few warm days in a row some ticks may emerge and attach to your pet.
The company certainly recommends applying Frontline year-round. This boosts sales for them, as well as helps to protect against liability suits for treatment failure. It also takes into account the typical human behaviors of forgetting to do something when you take a break from it - a fair number of owners will intend to start applying Frontline again on March 1, but may not actually apply it until May 15 because they keep forgetting about it until they see a tick on their dog.
However, veterinarians in temperate zones may recommend only applying from the start of spring through the first hard freeze of the fall, unless the pet will be traveling to a warmer climate over the winter months.

How long is frontline good for?
I worked for a Vet some years ago. Of course, Frontline's packaging says it is a ONE MONTH dose. And since the packaging notes that, then the Vet must tell the client that it is a one month dose and needs to be reapplied each month. However - the Vet told us technicians that it really works for up to 3 months! but if you live in an area where fleas are more prevalent, then you would want to apply every 6-8 weeks. I live on the Mid - East Coast. So in the winter I apply every 3 months, and in the spring-fall, every 6-8 weeks.
