Will bed bugs drown with water?

Question by bluejordann:
Will bed bugs drown with water?

I have bed bugs. If I buy a new air bed, set it on the floor, and create a barrier of water (unsure how to do this yet) will the bed bugs drown?

Best answer:

Answer by Don
I don’t think an air mattress can support bed bugs (well, maybe in the bedding?). But no, insects are really, really hard to drown in water. I’ve seen them survive more than 20 minutes in water that was being tumbled vigorously.
