Dark matter subhalos, predicted in large numbers in the cold dark matter scenario, should have an impact on particle dark matter searches. Recent results show that tidal disruption of these objects in computer simulations is over-efficient due to numerical artifacts and resolution effects. Accounting for these results, we re-estimate the subhalo abundance in the Milky Way using semi-analytical techniques. In particular, we show that the boost factor for gamma rays and cosmic-ray antiprotons is increased by roughly a factor of two.
