    mr akers sir, youre doing very good work out here posting these youtube videos. :) i applaud you for doing what most exterminators won't; offer an at home DIY solution. and we know that job security is important for everyone, even exterminators, but for those of us who were not lucky enough in life to come into a large sum of money, or have a good job, in order to be able to work an exterminator into the budget, you are coming here and doing the WORK, the advice, the help- basically for free! and on your own time between jobs. that is amazing. i know it doesnt mean much to have a random stranger say they are proud of you, but i'm very proud of you and very thankful. you're a good man, mr. akers. rock on. 🤘

    After we got your spray and treated all three houses I owned no more bugs. After they were gone we still felt itchy. We got 91 percent alcohol and put it in spray bottles. We used it a couple of times and no more problems. Your product is awesome.

    was bitten by chiggers when enjoying the outdoors in Spain. The bites just didn't match with bedbugs, but it hurts mercilessly especially when you have more than a dozen bites. I flew back to scandinavia where it was thirty degrees colder, when walking into a heated surrounding the pain almost made me faint. I didn't sense until after returning, and you will see these weird clusters of tiny punctured blips. Apparently they are able to get slightly under your trouser legs as well.

    Omg thank you. I have hopes that is not bed bugs. I have been itching a lot. Seems to be like I’m getting bitten but have not seen any bugs, or really nothing noticeable of bites similar to the ones on your video. I was about to call a professional. I work in a school and exposed to bedbugs. I don’t want it to get out of control with infestation.

      @@GreenAkersPCJason when I read about the submarine crew tormented for well over a year or years, I thought you had been the one to finally prove all those wrong that told the crew, they were imagining it. That there was NO WAY there were bedbugs, on that submarine. And so it went on. Finally someone decided to put down d dust in locations. Well the trail went from sleeping quarters into an air ventilation shaft. There were in fact bedbugs, and traumatized sailors living under the surface of the ocean getting bit. Finally someone had believed, them.
      Then there are elders and younger with cataracts and other eye afflictions that may not be able to find them. Then there are homes that could be unfinished due to circumstances out of the owner’s control. Or maybe even ventilation in homes. How about when the black grease is found on a box spring or slat of a bed, the person/persons are bitten, but can’t find the nest? What other kind of blood sucker could do that? Are fleas that elusive?

      I keep getting one bite the size of a dime on my arm just above the elbow so I insist on going to bed with long sleeves .. Jason what is biting me ?I don’t have pets .. trees .. open windows or grass I don’t garden .. the “ bite “appears about 4:00 a m and bites under the shirt .. the last time 1.5 months apart ..I take a picture each time so that I can time the duration since last bite also document to show a dermatologist..😢
      Sometimes I’ll get one bite on my chest ..or behind my ear
      I don’t see any signs of BB
      This is so perplexing
      I use Neem oil on my arms religiously to deter them
      The last time I got bit I didn’t have on the Neem I thought I was cured
      The Neem oil for me is a must
      But it doesn’t kill then
      Sprayed with Alpine Wsg granules about 30 days ago
      This is exhausting !

    How likely would bed bugs crawl under the clothes? I found bites on my thigh despite wearing long pants with elastics at the ankles. I have other exposed skin that bugs can feed on but nothing there. I have found no bugs, no casing, no blood spot, no eggs whatsoever, and believe me, I turned over the furniture and used interceptors...

    Jason i have a crazy fear of bedbugs. Whenever something bites me multiple times and i cant explain it i freak out. I woke up yesterday and later in the day i noticed i had 8 bites. Most stretched across my back, 2 on my hip, and one on my neck. Im hoping a flea got caught in my shirt or something, they itch like crazy. No blood spots in bed. Do you typivally always find blood spots? Or not always?

I can feel it when they bite, painful, and theres never anything there. i can feel them crawling on me though. i will get bit on the couch with light on and still dont see whats biting me. just very tiny hardly noticeable red bumps. i woulnt care exept bites are painfull when they happen, when i rub biten area pain completely disappears like i was never bitten. cant put a blanket over me on couch, they always find a way under to bite. Any thoughts from an expert would be appreciated.

    Not fully true, everything depends on situation. I had bed bugs and on the beginning I had singular bites e.g on my foot - one single bite, but very very itchy and painful. After few days one single bite on finger - very red, swollen painful mark. Then after a week I noticed 6 bites on my leg and I was 200% sure what I am dealing with. Another thing for me, bite marks lasted over 2 weeks, even if they stopped itching they were still very visible for long time. Don't waste time and order professionals.

    Hey this isn’t related to bed bugs, but do you ever mix Alpine wsg with anything else for a more potent mix on bad roach jobs or do you just use it by itself? I haven’t used Alpine before but just purchased some because of your video and was curious how you mixed it for bad roach infestations.

    I have an empty rental property. I have had it sprayed along the baseboards. The problem I’m told is that with nobody in the house, the bedbugs will not come out and cross over the chemical threshold. I’m told there are products that produce CO2 or mimic people breathing? Is there a product I can put in the centre of the room to draw some of these bed bugs out?

      Not always, it depends. If you move around a lot in your sleep like me, the bites will be scattered, and sometimes they hit a good spot for blood snd don't need a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th bite.

I treat with crossfire and a heavy duty high heat steamer (before crossfire). Baseboards, furniture. Everything. Double treatment like this shouldve worked I thought? No clutter. It's driving me nuts!!! How are they here but no eggs, no nymphs, no markings. I don't get it !!!
