I think it has more to do with the itching and the mental stress that happens when it doesn't stop.
Your videos helped me a lot. One of my brothers friends brought these pests into our home and following your advice over 6 months has made them essentially gone, no heat treatment of the home. You probably saved us a lot of money. I'll continue to treat my home probably for the rest of my life since I never want to deal with these bastards again.
I think (at least for me) they are numerous like roaches, but roaches generally try to leave you alone and avoid you.
Those bugs messed with me to the point I would wake up every morning at 4 to kill off the bugs that were feeding on me .
After using crossfire and getting rid of them I still woke up at 4 a.m. for a couple weeks to make sure that they weren't
feeding on me . I'm not afraid of them I just don't like getting bit by them , they make my skin dry out and break out .
And I didn't want to give them to anyone , but scared , no
Anyways thank you again for helping us get sleep again
Yeah, you get conditioned to keep looking for about another 6 months. And to the point that any small spec of dust, dirt, food that may be on the floor or furniture, you make sure it is not a bed bug. Then your heart calms down once you find out it is just a sesame from that burger you had from Burking King last week. No other insect leaves such an imprint.
@@nathanlamont9920 Yup, I was doing that for many months after I got rid of them 10 months ago. I was even noticing my eye floaters again. And any bug in the garden - I'd have to see what kind of bug it was. I'd just recently stopped looking for them. and then, a few days ago, one of the little buggers crawled across my bed. I had a fit. It's all the work involved in getting rid of them...
Jason,
By following everything you said, I have now gone more than a month and a half with not one bed bug in sight, no bites, no trails or stains or anything. It's like a miracle and I can't thank you enough. I think I've gotten rid of them for good, but if they do come back, I'll go right back to what you said. I have a spare crossfire standing by. Thanks again, you're a lifesaivor.
How did you spray? And what did you use and how did you do it? I want to buy. I'm also looking to get rid of bedbugs
Update
same
Unfortunately I’m one of those people that’s allergic to BB. I’m a walking alarm for my family anytime we come in contact. The bites swell and are so painful for me. I’d take any other pest over them.
Me too. I have an over exaggerated allergic reaction. I got huge welts and blisters.
Ditto, I am the early warning system for my household.
They keep waking me up at night to scratch where they bite. If they didn't interrupt this insomniacs sleep I wouldn't have cared.
I watched every single one of your videos in one night! I ordered the crossfire with the pump from your amazon affiliated video. I will apply it when it arrives. I just want to say thank you for all the honest information you are providing! I have seen other great reviews on crossfire! Thank you for giving us a peace of mind!
What pump/sprayer did you use?
At this point I am just trying to do whatever I can to prevent getting them. I'm terrified of getting them. I don't want to deal with the hassle and expenses with it. I'm not worried about health issues or anything like that with them, I just feel gross and filthy thinking about having them.
Thank you so much for all that you do. I really needed to see this. I brought bedbugs home from work (mental health case management) last year that laid eggs, and I brought one in two weeks ago. And I just can't stop thinking about it. I laid Crossfire down and it's been a week and a half since I've seen any evidence. My body doesn't react to the bites, so I've spent every morning since the first time checking all of my sheets for blood and when I saw it again my heart sank. While I know I'll never have an infestation in my apartment, it really feels like I have one in my brain. So thank you again so much for this reminder. You're really out here doing the good work.
Any update…are they gone
You are a hero in my book. You saved me thousands of dollars. Crossfire is so effective I still can't believe it.
France needs to hire you
I haven't seen a video of you reviewing Cimexa. What is your take on it?
I am currently in this situation -
We had one treatment done already with K-Othrine Partix, with the active ingredient
Deltamethrin. Do you have any insight on it?
Unfortunately two weeks after we still found bedbugs living and I got bitten. I am right now looking for probably a different pest controller then the previous one. Im treating the matraces with a small steamer and we are doing laundry everyday but we don't have the funds to fight this....its a paralyzing feeling and knowing that my 5 month old baby girl might get by bitten is awful....
I cannot stand it.
I'm trying to use a product called EcoRenger. Got great reviews where I live in Germany but who knows....
Its hard, no sleep - worries and working and being a dad trying to protect my family...its rough man.
Thanks for trying to help us out there.
Any suggestion on what else I could do?
It took two days for me to completely clean the upstairs of my apartment. For reference I have a loft style apartment, two floors, 780 sq ft. Carpet everywhere except kitchen and bathrooms. When I kept getting bit by something I thought I was crazy. On my shoulders, neck, all exposed areas when I sleep. My boyfriend however never got bit. On Saturday I checked the headboard and lo and behold I found one. Squished it, blood came out. When my boyfriend came home we found another. So we threw out the headboard (it was cloth) completely. Moved bed from wall. I got to vaccuming, bagging everything up, and sprinkling diatomaceous earth in the corners. Washed and dried the curtains & sheets. Sprayed bed and bed frame with hotshot bed bug killer. Saw a crawling bug on the curtain but couldn’t quite tell if it was a baby bed bug or something else. Vaccumed Saturday and Sunday. It took FOREVER, two days, to just clean and spray upstairs. Today I worked on the loveseat, vacuumed every corner, saw things that could’ve been eggs but I couldn’t tell. Sprayed, dusted the d.earth on the legs, and washed cushion covers. Found what I thought could be one in the crack of a portable cooler that was on the floor but again couldn’t quite tell. Threw out anything we didn’t need (mostly cat scratch posts and a little cat castle) and sprayed down the cooler & threw that cooler outside to bake in the 102 degree Houston heat. I order crossfire and it’s suppose to be delivered today. I am praying that this works, because I have no idea where they came from or how bad the infestation is. Like I said we only saw 2 for sure on the headboard and I squished something on the wall by the bed that could’ve been one but again wasn’t sure. I’m tired y’all! This is hard work! Three days so far of vacuum spray dust wash dry repeat! And my boyfriend has cloth gun cases and I have no idea how to handle those so for now they’re just in trash bags taped up so nothing can get in or out. Please pray for me while I try to get rid of these annoying critters!
What pump or sprayer will you use for crossfire? Also please tell me the results after 1week of using crossfire I want to buy but I'm scared it wont work.
Update
@@ygbodybuilder3023 update, I’m bed bug free !
@@Lyanali-ju1wh I used a $20 one gallon sprayer from Lowe’s. It did work.
@@alleyohmalleyHi, could we get a update? Still bug free ?
I needed this. Going through this right now. Thankfully I caught it early enough before it got out of control. It’s been rough on my mental health to say the least. But you know what…I GOT THIS! I won’t let these nasty things destroy me. 1/3 chemical sprays by exterminator down plus things I can do on my own. Gotta do this and stay patient for myself and my cats.
I feel a bit better watching this, as i think i have b bugs. Im scared of all creepy crawlies.
Thanks so much for your information.
Hello, love your info!
I have a few questions. I have purchased crossfire for my small apartment for prevention purposes. I don't currently have bed bugs.
1) Can I use just a regular spray bottle for spraying crossfire? I have a small apartment, so I won't be spraying a large area. Just my car and parts of my bed frame. For example, the same kind of bottle you might use to spray a cleaning solution? (Just the bottle I won't be mixing
2)I plan on using it every month. I wont use the entire bottle that it came in. For the chemicals I dont use on the first spray, is it ok if I leave that in the original crossfire bottle for next time or will it go bad?
Thank you!!!! Very much appreciate all your content!
DID THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAYOUT? THAT MEME WAS HILARIOUS‼️ “THEY’RE DEAD NOW” 😂😂😂😂
I hate these parasites due to how allergic my skin is to the bites. They leave blisters that turn into holes once it pops open then it looks like a cigarette burn. I don't know why my skin is so sensitive to them. My son gets horrible hives and welts. He still has scabs on him from June 6th when he stayed at a friend's house and came home with several hundred if not a thousand bites on him. Not even joking!! I had to take him to urgent care as soon as I picked him up . He's 17 and would not normally go to the doctors for much but he was miserable itchy and in pain from so many bites covering his body from head to toe. Only area not biten was his boxer area. That house is Soo infested and we had no idea. I ended up getting bites on my leg the next weekish so they must have hitch hiked on him into my house .. Luckily put two and two together and figured out what was biting me super fast. I bought cross fire immediately. Knock on wood I haven't been bitten since nor did I ever find anything other than one female on the couch that looked lost. I ripped my couch apart and didn't find any other ones. I took that female and put her in a baggie and sprayed hot shot BB killer on her.. I checked her a week later and she was still alive and laid 8 eggs and hatched out 8 babies. Luckily I never sprayed that crap in my house. It's definitely junk. I'm so glad I found out about crossfire before I made that mistake. So a pregnant female hitched a ride on him. We never ever had bed bugs before this time frame so I know it came from the infested house. I'm still pist off that they knew they were infested with bbs and still let my son stay there without ever making mention of it to us then my son comes home and I have to run him to urgent care. His neck was so swollen actually his entire body was swollen from the BB bites. The doctor said they must have smelled the different hormones my son put off and just liked him a lot. I was flabbergasted as to how many freaking bites he had covering his body. It was disgusting! I pray none are hiding . That's why I am so freaked out by them. I'd rather deal with fleas than bbs
I also Have bb to but what pump or sprayer did you use?
@@Lyanali-ju1wh you can use any garden sprayer. Yes Crossfire does work.
The same mindset helped me immensely going through a flea infestation..kept telling myself these are little bugs just like a mozzie and they wont stop me living my life.
Jason, you're a savior. I have dealt with these bugs on and off for over 2yrs bc of my apartment neighbors and property management/pest control incompetence. I'm so glad I found your channel, only wish it had been sooner. I will refer anyone to your channel. I received my crossfire yesterday and will apply this weekend. Giving folks hope, facts, and empowerment is a blessing. Thank you for all you do! I will report back when I've been clear/no evidence after my own second treatment round💪🏽
UPDATE: Since my first application 4 weeks ago I've had no evidence of bed bugs whatsoever. My property management let me move into a new unit (after only one of their applications this time, and with no follow up inspection--shows how unknowledgabel they are). Sure enough, I move some bugs over to the new unit. So, I am doing a 2nd application of Crossfire today for peace of mind.
One thing I am curious of though, is how everyone is handling the disposal of the chemical once done and they still have leftover. I know it is not active 24hrs after being mixed. Jason, could you address this in future videos because I think it is important.
Safe and proper disposal of chemicals/pesticides is so important for the environment (not harming pollinators, keeping our water systems clean, etc).
Most people should have a local chemical/hazardous waste disposal place that will take in commercial and household waste. That said, I live in a 700 sqft. apartment and I wish I had known sooner that I would not need to mix the entire bottle/gallon. This time I plan to do 50% or 25% even, I just dont need it all. The trick is to do the math to make sure your ratios are still accurate. Half mix would be 6.5 oz Crossifre with 57.5oz water. A quarter mix would be 3.25oz Crossfire and 28.75oz water in case anyone needs to know! Best of luck all, stay strong, you CAN do this!
It works like a charm! I sprayed my apartment/whole complex. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure I got them from traveling on the subway in Brooklyn… even better measure, spray again in six months. I can’t believe I was quoted like over a grand for heat treatment. They should be gone within a week or so granted you cover every square foot
Ditto 👍🏽
@@rosebudrezzer743hi did crossfire work for you?. Did you apply it only once?
i fear all the consequences the is created from bed bugs. it’s really hard to clean all the bed bugs and hide somewhere u dunno and keep coming back with all those scary dirt they they made. i can’t afford to lose all my beloved stuff animals as i got tons of them. i can’t put chemical and wash them with heat.
Hi Jason. In December last year (before I found your page) I treated with hotshot quite a few times. I moved and wasn’t getting bit. As soon as the weather got warm in VA I started getting tore up but never seen anything. Just the bites. I found out about Crossfire and first sprayed it in May. I have sprayed it about 5 times now and followed your directions to a ‘t.’ Could they be resistant? I’m still getting bit occasionally, but the bites are tiny now and they can never make three, mostly two. I’m a disabled veteran and just want these things gone. Thanks for your help.
Have you gotten rid of them. I’ve sprayed several times and still have them. Have you sprayed your car?
do the chemicals sprayer tanks fumes bother you since their in the cab with you? But I’m pretty sure you have them sealed and smell proof
How to clean kids toys is my question. We have pest control coming but would rubbing alcohol work on toys? I know it doesn’t work in the long run because it dries
Hope you have gotten rid of them by now, but you can put your kid's toys in the freezer
I’m waiting for my order of Crossfire. I had a severe reaction to the bites, and am on oral/topical steroids and an oral antibiotic/antihistamine. Regardless I know I still have to be bait after I treat with Crossfire, and that makes me more determined because each time I’m bitten the site swells like a boil and feels like it’s on fire besides the raging itch! I can’t wait until it’s over so I can heal 😢
Hello Jason, been watching your vids and trying to learn how to kill bedbugs. I had a question My father is bedridden and has lung issues and also have 2 babies in the home. I was wondering if it would be safe to stay on one side of the house while I spray with crossfire and then complete the other half of the house on the next day or does everyone need to stay outside while it dries? If so about how long till its safe to enter areas. Thanks for all the info you've shared on your page has been very helpful
Hey man what’s better, Crossfire or Aprehend?
there is a crossfire version on amazin rhat s deliverable to California. but i womder if it s original ? packagung looks diffrent and despite they used rhe same black and orange colors, the lqbke seems a little off. It 's sold by usa supply compmay and unlike the orgunal one from mgk store, is 10 dollars more right no2 at 49
Hi Jason! Do you know an exterminator in South FL who uses Crossfire? My elderly aunt needs help and I haven’t been able to find one who uses this
Can anyone explain that we need to apply crossfire once? How was your plan of implementation? I have carpets and they are troubling my mom..
After this I feel much better after finding a couple bed bugs!!
But cockroaches still freak me out!!
So grateful for you and your channel.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for this, I've bought so much product on account of these stupid things but after getting the Crossfire, I'm officially done. No more of my hard earned money is going towards these things.
I really think there's a heavy stigma surrounding them because they're associated with poverty, and no one wants to be considered "poor" in our society (which is another problem). At this point, I'll treat my stuff as I see fit (since I have have several products at this point lol), and that's all I can do.
Thanks for the reassurance 🖤
Jason is an everyday hero 😊
I live in a small place, about 30 square metres. Do I still have to use the whole bottle of Cross fire?
Thanks!
Hi Jason, I've been dealing with fleas in my house. Just wondering if I hire a pest control person will we have to leave the house for 2-3 hours with the cat or how would that work?
Does temprid sc work ? I can't get crossfire in my area
How much of crossfire can you mix if you trying to spray just your car?
David killed Goliath. The reason bed bugs give me the hebe geebees is that they are so hard to get rid of. They are harder to get rid of than headlice and I live in my Honda crv the majority of the time and in that car they hide really really easily. And some people do have life threatening reactions to insect bites. Cross fire kinda scares me too. It was what I had to end up using to finally get rid of them after a year of the stupid things. And your videos helped make it possible but no bed bugs are not easy.
People SAY they are hard to kill but I have never had that issue
I just bought the crossfire in the spray can. Applied it about 3 weeks ago. Me being the bait is easy as they don’t really bite me, but the third or fourth week, I will go check my bed before I go to sleep, and I’ll will actual will see the bbs crawling around on the surface of the mattress, adults and babies. I’m trying to be as patient as possible, but is it weird that they come out before I get out the bed, early in the morning, I’ve seen them being active as hell, is this normal????Since the I’ve did a second treatment and awaiting results. Please help I’ve sprayed the entire can in 2 treatments 3 weeks apart, what else can I do?😢
Aerosols aren’t as effective
Please help 😩I have temprid sc in my area does it work?
Thank you for this video sir💝
Love your video's, with the humor, thank you so much.
so basically I want to buy crossfire and I heard from watching your vids to treat your entire house but I also have roaches I want to deal with too [can I treat both at the same time? Also can I treat roaches with just a bait or do i need a pesticide to get rid of em? (Btw its German roaches) ] I plan on buying VIVOSUN 1.35-Gallon sprayer for the crossfire is is [1.35 gallon correct?] also what bait do you recommended from Amazon I can buy. (Also posting this again cuz I really need your answers)
@@nikkikimberly161 thanks for reply! Btw what sprayer will you use for the crossfire? And also do you think a bait by itself will work fo get rid of roaches by itself my roaches are an infestation by now i see like Hundereds of them every night.
How Do you dispose leftover unused mixed Crossfire? Please.
I would use it up. But if you’re wanting to dispose of it you need to call your local department of agriculture and ask them. Every state has different ways to get rid of it
How do you clean the sprayer in between uses to keep Crossfire residues from getting gooey?
What is harder to control, bed bugs or German Cockroaches?
Ants…
I tried to find your website that has your online courses but I couldn't see it. Thank you
www.udemy.com/course/how-to-eliminate-bed-bugs-like-a-pro/
Lol @ trying to kill it with a lighter
Thank you for this 😅
I’m gonna give cross fire a try but can I ask do I have to use the whole bottle in one go or can I adjust the amount? (Meaning half the bottle, half the water etc).
Also as far as I understand this is sprayed on the mattress directly, if I place the bedding back on mattress then will cross fire still work? Or does it need direct contact with the insects?
Apologies if these questions are silly but if you don’t know then ask those that do and you seem to know your stuff.
I thought they were gone but now its started again after my moms comes to visit what in the world is going on 😢
Update
This is such a great video ❤
Do I have to use a sprayer
Hey, I just came across your videos recommending Crossfire. I live in the UK and it is not available here. Is there an alternative here?
Their is probably you just need to watch his vids, comment on his lives, to find one or get a answer
I don’t honestly think there is an equivalent in the UK. I’m sorry
According to your instructions I will have to wait a week or 2 since I used ortho first but can I use diatomaceous Earth in the meantime before I retreat with the crossfire?
No
@GreenAkersPC please 🙏 read this and tell Me your all time favorite insect growth regulator 1 product for fleas and 1 more insect growth regulator product for roaches that you use for your customers and have great success
Great video. Ty.
❤❤❤❤
Dude I used crossfire for bed bugs but a month later they’re still around. Could these be resistant to crossfire?
Can you recommend any other treatments/pesticides that general public can buy? I’m from the UK by the way.
There are times where it takes more than one treatment
@@GreenAkersPC Thanks so much for the quick reply.
I’ve just reapplied Crossfire today, I actually saw a live bedbug and sprayed it. I remember you saying they die in 5 mins if sprayed directly with Crossfire. But this little bug kept on staying alive 30mins after spraying! Does this mean resistance to Crossfire or possibly my Crossfire is fake (got it off Amazon).
It’s relative. Some bugs take longer to die than others. It isn’t a sign of resistance. The fact that you’re in the UK is an even better sign that the bugs are probably not resistant at all because neonics aren’t even used in the UK
@@GreenAkersPC Thank you so much for reassuring me, I’m massively grateful for your advice and videos. Please keep doing what you’re doing 🙏
please keep us updated!
Do you recommend painting on crossfire to the legs of furniture or spraying it on?
Either way should work fine
@GreenAkersPC OMG! You answered. Appreciate you tremendously. Made my day. It's the little things.❤️🪳☠️🧭
@GreenAkersPC I'm not living in the house yet. Would putting out CO2 "traps" after spraying Crossfire coax them out looking to feed or do I have no choice but to literally offer myself up as tribute? Sorry, I got greedy with the questions.
Co2 traps don’t work on bed bugs and I try my hardest to respond but can’t to every comment. Hope this helps though
Can I ask you a question my house is infested by and by the way thank you for helping with the bedbugs I saved a lot of money and but now I have a roach
The main thing I'm asking is what do I do on roaches I'm infested with those
@@jameshart6001did you alap ussy crossfire for your besbugs? Also he saya apline wsg
Were u able to solve the bed bug problem? Did you apply crossfire once? How was your plan of implementation?
