   ok, so I have fleas AND bed bugs. how awful. Well, I saw a large fecal stain on my mattress today and got bitten the past two nights at dawn, once on my face, and know a flea couldn't leave something so big. Yo u would think I live in squalor. I don't! omg. So a question. I think they are in my bedframe and I am not up for using chemicals on it constantly. Is there a way to isolate an encased mattress on the floor? Like lay it on plastic and put carpet tape around it or something? I am afraid, I know they are lieing in wait on the floor, but it is too risky my bed frame. I cannot isolate it properly with my dog and laundry being so far away, etc., no money for box spring and pillow encasement. Someone gave me a mattress encasement. Besides it's an awful metal bed frame that has a million places for the encasements to tear. Please advise.

   thank you-
   Amy

   If you want to treat the bedframe then you should have it steam treated. and hepa vaced.
