How do you get fleas out of a bed?
Only way that helped me years ago, was to go and buy a few cans of bug bombs. CAUTION!! If you do this, make the necessary precautions before you set these off. I don't know where your pets kennel is so here goes for in the home: Get all children and pets out the house, make sure you have everything you need with you before you do this, you do not want to go back in your house once you set these off. Then after so many hours you can go back into your house, all the bugs should be dead, including any spiders or any other bugs. Make sure you wash all your glasses and dishes, or put what you use alot into a plastic bag Inhaling this is LETHAL!!!!!!!!

Do boll weevils bite humans or are they poisonous?
Do Boll Weevils Bite Humans! I will begin by telling the story. Recently I few days ago I returned from a hunt in Amarillo Texas to my home in Tennessee. Leaving my equipment bag on a chair in my bedroom for a few days. For about the past three nights I have been waking in the mornings with new bites each night. Thinking it to be a flea since our Labrador sleeps with us, I inspected her very closely. No fleas! This afternoon while inspecting the bed for the evening, "guess what I found"! Yes a small Boll Weevil in the center of the bed under the covers that had been injured probably by the dog jumping on the bed. I identified it via the Internet as confirming it was a boll weevil. Assuming that he had to be the culprit! It would seem that due to a lack of possible moisture or food he chose me as a host and left some nasty bites looking like the worst mosquito bite or flea bite you have ever had, not to mention the itch unmercifully. Even after using after-bite and other remedies. Can't advise about the poisonous section of this question, guess I will find out! However the itch is tremendous! LT.
Bed Bugs cannot get INSIDE a water bed or else they would become dead bugs. However they can thrive in the cracks and spaces between the sheets and the bed and the bed and the frame. Not to mention throughout the room.
