Actually they can live much longer than that without feeding. At my old employer an exterminator company had a cage with them and they have been alive for 3 years without feeding.
I have a friend who has just stopped trying to get rid if them and ive tried to get them to get crossfire, but they haven't done it and tonight is the 2and time ive had a bed bug in my home from them. I'm praying the crossfire works since it's the 1st one ive seem in months and I'm sensitive to the little bastards. I was sleeping on my couch when I got up and saw it running away and I swear to you I'm probably just going to throw the whole couch away.
Thank you so much for preaching Crossfire, it has done wonders for me! I have a small amount of it left in my sprayer and I was wondering if it has a shelf life and if so how do I discard it safely?
Hey Jason....still getting bites. Used everything possible. Crossfire! Why have I NEVER EVER SEEN NOT ONE LIVE BUG. CAN'T EVEN FIND DEAD ONES. WHY? WHY HAVE I NEVER EVER SEEN A BUG....GOING CRAZY ......
@@hplifestylelessonsandfun9131 quite often people just assume they have bed bugs because they have bites. It's not always bed bugs, and they are easy to spot. If you don't see any signs then it is something else like fleas...and I have seen cases of scabies and spiders.
My 16 year old now 17 was trading clothes with his friends, there would be a pic of three different people wearing the same outfit and then he would get it back, nephew stayed in his room and was eaten up, he brought the mattress pad down an holy hell they haven’t left since, don’t let your kids lend out their clothes cause u never know how nasty their friends are, my 17 year old isn’t the cleanest either. Good luck if you’re fighting these hell bugs
I think my son brought them home from camp when I had them, they did some of his laundry for him while he was there. I'm not sure if it was from camp or the laundry mat that gave them to him. you were a Godsend in helping getting rid of them. I have not seen them or had them since. I have sent the kids to camp and just been more diligent when they come home and wash everything right away. Thank you for doing what you do and informing people :)
I never had or seen bed bugs for 4 years in the apartment I live in but then in the 5th year I seen bed bugs coming from my bathroom and they came out of nowhere and I never seen them i don't know were they are came from and i see bed bugs every once in a while from my bathroom I think they probably came from my neighbors idk.
Hey Jason this is greg b my new account I wanted to apologize cuz I don’t think I’ll be watching your videos anymore. You see I’ve decided after 4 years of pest control I don’t want to do this anymore I want to do agriculture (which still involves pesticides) but anyway i feel I need to apologize cuz you’ve given allot of good info the past year or two I’ve Been watching you thanks and good luck in life
I dont know if you covered this, but what about ER rooms and hospital rooms, bathroom, etc. ?I was in an ER and every chair was filled. One guy had gotten bed bugs in his truck and had sores all over. Wanted to get up and run, but was stuck in the seat .
My best friend said she found one on the DRT bus here in Oshawa said because I started taking the bus more last year it may not have come from the rugs my neighbour gave me. My Local Library is awesome because they actually have pest control come in on monthly inspections anytime the pest control person finds any bugs any kind they have to by Ontario Law shut down put notices on their doors and website letting the public know. I started putting the DVD's I borrow from there in zip lock bags so none can be transferred from me to them and reverse. Thanks again for your advice Mr Akers. P.S you can also get them from Hospitals too. The bites can look like red rashes that do not itch. Vacuum helps I still need to do it. Phonophobia suck. Fear of loud noises if you have it use ear plugs or music and ear buds. Good hunting all. Oh and you can keep your cloths in extra large zip lock bags in your bathroom if you don't want to constantly throw em in the laundry. Yep go full Sheldon Cooper Big Bang on the problem. Stay safe.
I can never seem to get rid of them. They must have been here a few years back because I remember getting bitten on my legs. I used a steamer I had and weny everywhere with it. About 2 years back my son brought in stuff from the outside garbage. The bugs came out full force. I thought I had a skin reaction from something. I was going back and forth to the Dr. getting all different skin creams from getting large itchy blisters. I keep on using the steamer whenever I lye down somewhere. I think they also go condo unit to condo unit. Time to get the place sprayed again.
I feel better knowing other people didn't automatically think bites were bed bugs. I didn't either. But I hope to be rid of them or at least slowed down right away.
@@wendi2819 No it is hard to tell. I used to get big bites. I always use a steamer where I sleep so I have been ok. Your entire place may need to be sprayed. I am having him come in again to check.

what you forgot to say is what brings them into your home in the 1st place and if you've never had the problem and it suddenly happens to you and you dont know what caused it or how they came into your home in the 1st place then how can you stop them after treatment is done if your renting have disability a payee dont have alot of money for basic needs it suddenly happens in the building your renting your not told how or where it started from,but you get the blame for it when your not trying to do anything wrong,you are forced to get rid of most of what you own,have to leave and stay somewhere else with your pets so its treated,you come back home told its treated and safe,but your own family just abandons you and ignores you for almost a year because they think you still have them,they refuse to believe you but they believe a payee only and they claim that until the payee or a pest control tells and proves to them that if im back in their lives that it wont go into their homes etc they act like i dont exist and dont matter to them and on 1 other video i found before this 1 you said they are hard to get rid of once you have them well if thats true i lost my own family because of it and i know i didnt bring them in and havent been in alot of places where they are cuz of income and no way to travel far so IF they did start in my place and i didnt know about it i didnt do it on purpose it most likely happened because my payee refuses to give me enough money to live on and meet my needs and allow me access to credit cards and paypal so im covered to prevent stuff like this,i wanna work but its hard to this day to find any work if i keep being discriminated against because i cant show a high school diploma or GED,cant travel far cuz no car cuz when i had them i wasnt given the money to keep them running and or they are vandalized so i need a way to find out how mine started and if i'll ever be able to have a family again so they stop assuming they are still here and im not seeing any signs of them nothing so what can i do to fix this

What could someone do about a hotel that's absolutely ate up and the owners won't do anything about it? Sometimes we have no choice but to take the bus to work and people come out of this hotel and I've actually taken one home myself. Also, if someone in your family has bed bugs, why not help them get rid of them (if you're able to) instead of just telling them not to come over. Nobody wants bed bugs and I would hate to see my family suffering with them.
My son keeps on bringing dirty nasty people in my home. have bed bugs my whole apartment is infestes my face and my neck are all chewed up i keep telling this dude do not bring scum bags in my home.

this is true. depending on how clothes are stored they can have bugs in them. I see this all the time in beds with drawers under the bed.
Bed bugs don't just invade ppl who are nasty. That is not true. Nasty or clean a bedbug will get on you. They do not discriminate.
@@Beccamae75 you’re right, they do not discriminate. Hope I never have to deal with them again

I thought you were going to say laundromats, because if you go there and just wash your clothes and let them air dry at home you could pick them up.
Steve Jacobs that is true but surprisingly not in the top 3
Shouldn't the hot soapy water kill them?
I used vinegar N baking soda.

shouldnt everyplace now just assume there everywhere and treat everywhere
jonezy cones yes lol but do they? No
jonezy cones I wouldnt treat. Like you have them. Maybe have a regular exterminator

Probably so, tho I would be worried about them gaining a resistance to the insecticides that work.
