How to quickly get fleas or other bugs out of items you can't wash in hot water: leave them in the back seat of your car in 90° weather for the day. Fleas don't like that much more than dogs or babies (lemmy.ml)

Anyway my patient had bedbugs how'd y'all's weekend go?

(Works best for fleas since they're usually a summer pest, when that 90° weather is avaliable, but works for other things if the opportunity arises.

Putting the items in the oven at 200f for a few hours should do the trick.
