How is fleas harmful?
Fleas suck bloody from animals, similar to mosquitoes. Upon injection they inject an anti coagulant into the blood, making it easier to suck. This anti coagulant is what causes the itching and the swelling involved with a flea 'bite'. This in itself is not really harmful, more irritating. However fleas can transmit very harmful blood borne diseases like bubonic plague or malaria. Instead of the bite being harmful, it is what the bite can transmit that we need to worry about.
Do talcum kill bedbugs?
Might be possible. I know for sure that by means of a very fine talcum-like powder (based on silica) you can kill fleas. The powder acts dehydrating both onto living fleas and their eggs, they dry out. It also cloggs the breathing orifices of the fleas. I use such powder from time to time for my cats (occasionally fleas are "leaving the sinking ship" and move from a mouse to the cat just eating the mouse...). It is no poison, but acts biologically - so I prefer it. The powder is applied both onto the cat and its favourite sleeping place. Just ask a veterinary, whether you can use it also against bedbugs.
