I second Bev's advice.  I have a straw filled Honiton pillow, where tiny
little insects made their way out of the holes after I took the pins out.  I
wrapped it in polythene and stuck it in the freezer for 2 weeks - a Honiton
pillow is big and dense so I figured it would take a long time to get cold
right through to the middle.  Never saw the insects again.  

So find a huge plastic bag Jo and put that pillow in the freezer quick while
it's empty.
