As a school bus driver I can definitely agree we recently got them doing extra route towards the end of school yr (lots of beat down apartments for stops) I treated my bus along with my home and car we have been free and clear going on 4 months next month. We used cross fire and keep an extra couple bottles and spray monthly to be on safe side. I been a driver for 7 years and never got in contact of bugs
What else did you use to treat your home besides crossfire? Did you call exterminator did you use steam? What was the process for treating your home details please If you dont mind
It’s been almost 3 weeks since I used cross fire and I followed your instructions and the label and laid in my bed as bait lol and yes I was bitten like crazy but they crawled through the cross fire and the adults died and then I saw babies and they bit me too , 2 wks in in and the coast two days no bites , I bought another bottle and will do it agsin this week end. Thank God what a night mate these little guys are , looking foward to being bed bug free
Hi! Just started watching your videos! How long must I wait to do Crossfire if I sprayed with Ortho Bed Bug? Thank you so much for all the help you put out for everyone!!!
My gf works in a boat factory and they found them in the carpet and and vinyl.. Now we have bed bugs and I'm super upset about it. I bought a gallon of the cross fire and hope to get rid of them. Even if I spray the whole gallon in this 90 day time frame. Wish me luck
Hi, Im in a van with drawers... can I just spray ALL the cracks/entry/exit areas only and not have to empty the drawers of cloths and gear and wash them, etc?
If I have had a boxspring cover on for 9 years and mattress zipped up cover, where are they hiding? Do i need to take the boxspring cover off to apply crossfire or can I spray the cover?
I have a question. I have Chiggers in my car. I have seen the adults. I currently trying Sevin dust 5% and Sevin Sulphur dust. But it doesn't seem to be working. Can you recommend something?
Jason you are god sent. Learnt a lot from you. Currently trying to buy some stuff and fight in Australia 😢. For the past two months, I have been experiencing severe skin rashes, which I recently discovered were caused by bed bugs nesting in my headboard. I have already discarded the headboard, bed frame, and mattress and thoroughly vacuumed the area. Set an insecticide bump (clearly didn't work) Despite all my efforts, after assembling new furniture. I still discovered 3 adult and one baby bed bugs before I go to sleep at the same night ! . I'm writing this message at 5:00 AM and too paranoid to sleep, i ended up staying in the livingroom. My bedroom is very small It really puzzle me where do they come from after i got rid of the headboard. We dont have crossfire here. I bought "surefire insectigone" off Amazon. I hope it works. 😢
Can carpet beetles live in mattress? Cause i found a bug in my mattress but i thought it was bed bugs but it was a adult carpet beetle and when i killed it it had crust and i didn't see any blood and i saw a carpet beetle worm shell underneath the killed bug
I do but that's just me trying to get live ones out first. From what I understand from him is that eggs are harder to find so with this stuff the babies will die when they first come out. I just noticed them last night before bed so now trying to find a permanent solution. Sick of these every couple years. My apartment building sucks for them
I treated my house 30 days ago, followed all your treatment techniques including dismantling the couch, spraying in the recliners, flipping the couch over, Bed, boxspring spring, moldings, etc. At 30 days, I have no bites or signs of them or eggs. Do I need to retreat?
I know you don't recommend Crossfire in in Aerosol can. But if I plan a family vacation, I want to treat my suitcase luggage. Can I use Crossfire Aerosol to spray the entire luggage and bring it to the hotel and spray the area?
First of all, we live in a infested house in upstate New York and on a fixed income and can’t afford a Exterminator and hopefully you can help us out , Tried all kinds of spray s Alcohol, and dust going on 12 years trying to kill them Blood sucking Vampires and my dog keeps eating them nasty things They did so much damage to the walls wooden furniture thanks for your help like your videos they make a lot more sense
Go to a local pest supply store and get a sprayer along with Crossfire spray concentrate. Ask them to walk you through it -they will be more than happy to explain how to properly apply it. It costs about $80 to ge the sprayer and a small bottle of concentrate instead of hundreds or more with hiring a pro. This stuff works so incredibly well -they were all gone after 2 treatments over a week and a half. Also, it's safe for pets and humans after it dries, and will still kill them after they walk theough the dried spray for up to a month.
Could someone provide a link for crossfire, I’m in the Uk and struggling to find it. Also a question so you spray this directly on to the mattress? But if I apply the bedding on top after does this negate the effects of crossfire or will it still work? Or am I ment to spray it on the mattress and then sleep on a bare mattress? Is this product safe for people to sleep on? I’m guessing these are silly questions, but if you don’t know then ask those that do
How are you making out? You treat the mattress directly and after it dries you put your bedding back on it. When you treat every surface of the bed they will come into contact with it for sure and die. I treated the entire carpet under and around my bed, too. The box spring is very important along with the mattress.
Have a dilemma. My daughter has been getting bit for 2 months. never saw a single bug anywhere. finally last week saw the first bed bug. took the entire mattress and box spring and threw it away. have still only found about 8 bugs in total . have used cross fire and have not seen a singe dead bug anywhere. For the lifecycle and eggs , shouldnt I have seen alot more at least on the mattress or in her room? I have done everything in her bedroom, removed outlet covers, heated every piece of clothing, blankets dried on hot heat. No bugs in the dryer trap and still no dead bugs anywhere. Mattress in gone, I can only think that thats the only place they were? what am I missing? also nowhere in the entire house either. Should I expect more to come out? I am stumped. Would love your opinion!
It's likely that unless the future being taken out deposited eggs/bedbugs somewhere along it's journey out of the building if the issue was persistent. It could also be the lasting psychological effects as well if no bugs were found months after treatment.
Hello. I have a question. First of all, great vid!! Now question. After I treat the full bed, how long do I have to wait to lay down on the bed. Also, I have a boiler room outside my house. Is this cross fire highly flammable??? Last question. I have fitted sealed while zip up sheets on my bed. Wen I use cross fire, should I take off the sealed rubber sheets or leave them on??? Again. Great video. I'll be passing this on to others.
You can just not for elimination…they are for the protection of your investment not to eliminate bed bugs. They don’t. Work to eliminate them. It’s impossible to starve them using mattress encasements
@@GreenAkersPC and thank you btw, for the insight... as well as the expertise you share so generously, I think it speaks highly of your character that you do this- countless others are quick to make a buck simply by charging for the advice they may have for people
Hey.... Two part question.. I just bought a 13oz of crossfire and applied it the way you mentioned. Can I still use alcohol at night until the bedbugs walk across it to die or am I a bait until then? And you mentioned that the bedbugs have piercing parts that can still bite me through a mattress cover/casing... What should I use as a barrier?.. Thanks
Oh.. And how would I know if I have a mild or severe case of bedbugs. I found one under a hanging picture in my bedroom, and a couple at night on my wall
I hired an exterminator that sprays crossfire about 2 weeks ago. No bites on the bed, but we see them on the couch still. Most are alive, but can’t move. I can flip them on their back and you can see their legs kicking, but when I flip them back over, they can’t move. Is that normal? We killed them and vacuumed the couch, but more came out a few days later behaving the same. A few could still move though and some are dead. Is this normal?
It has been 7 days since applied crossfire to all the places instructed in your video but in addition I spayed my clothes including t-shirts and socks, bed sheet and pillow cases. Now I am itching all the time, day and night. My scalp, face, back, shoulders. Etc. I don't see any bed bug biting or crawling on me but I am always itching. When the top of my hand itches I look and do not see anything there. Could this be the contaminated clothes and bed sheet with Crossfire? Or can this be a baby bed bugs which I can't see. Please help. Thanks
@@GreenAkersPC isn’t it amazing that we get customers who will spray themselves, and their clothing without even questioning it. I’ve done thousands of bed bug jobs over the past 15 years and to see grown men and women still do this blows my mind.
Straight to the dryer high heat be careful wen handling . Dry before u wash everything wen dealing with bedbugs in your linens hope it works out for ya
Hi. I’m in California. I have tried to buy crossfire from different websites but the state does not allow it because is considered a carcinogen. I have heard that mixing paraffin, salt and detergent can kill them too. Have you heard of this? It has been a week of nonstop itchy at night … I want to sleep!!! Please advise me!
does the movie American History X bother you badly? I would cry every time Edward Norton says "don't listen to that yahoo he kills bugs for a living" lmao =)
I've noticed something in your videos that's odd. You seem like a good honest guy and even speak of helping low-income people that can't afford a professional. Probelm is you never agree with using any method(s) but Crossfire? You're against heat, rubbing alcohol, raid or other chemicals, etc. I suppose if we had an actual home remedy that worked it would put pro's out of business.
Crossfire is able to be bought over the counter. It isn’t something illegal for the consumer. The problem with “home remedies” is they don’t truly work to eliminate the issue and if you can’t eliminate the problem 100% then you’re just frustrating yourself for no reason. I recommend crossfire because I use it in my business. I am not a paid spokesperson for MGK or any company that produces any pesticide. I’m a business owner who uses pesticides and I’m very transparent to everyone on what I use. If you can’t buy crossfire it will be very difficult to eliminate bed bugs because they have become resistant to nearly everything otc. Trust me if there was a home remedy that worked I would be the first to tell you.
It’s because home remedies don’t work. I’ve done thousands of bed bug jobs and always explain to people, if the home remedies worked so well, us professionals would be doing them and making a killing
A very honest man rare nowa days!
I use your advice and bought crossfire. I bought 3 bottles of crossfire and use it over two months. They are gone thx
Thank you I am feeling slightly better. I keep thinking I. Am not clean or cleaning enough.

How long do you recommend leaving the car sealed/unused when you treat?
Just until it’s dry…maybe a couple hours? Leave the windows down to speed up drying time
What should we do with the pillows? Is there the posibility that bed bugs hide in pillows?
You can usually put the pillows in the dryer to get rid of any bugs just to be safe
Can BB live in the foam of mattresses or more so cracks and crevices?? Crazy question
Not so much in the foam itself but in the fabric seams yes
