      They can't climb smooth plastic surfaces. You can use strips of the smoothest shipping tape to keep them from climbing furniture. Think of that when designing and setting barriers. At some point they can't get to you and will eventually die off without much other effort.

    I rented some heaters. Sprayed the edges of the room to make a barrier. Thank goodness we had mattress covers that stop bugs. Put all laundry in trash bags. It was kids room. Bought a steamer and 2 space heaters. Turned the car onto an oven w space heaters(cooked all couch cushions) steamed most of carpet and all furniture. Its been about a month. No signs yet

      That's almost what it sounds like.
      Diatomaceous Earth food grade. Powder duster to make a fine mist.
      Grab yourself a dust mask, spray the fuck out of whatever room one at a time. Let it settle before breathing normally.
      Vaccum and clean up 2 or 3 times a week and repeat. You'll see less and less overtime. The easiest way without having to excessively use your spare time is you're like me and work many hours and days and don't really have the money for more expensive stuff.

    I'm catching the bed bugs, sticking them in a piece of tissue putting them in a metal trash can and lighting the tissue on fire. While this may not get rid of them in their entirety, it is extremely satisfying to do. I only wish the bed bugs would scream in pain and horror as they start to burn. Oh well. I will just continue to imagine the screaming while I smile and giggle as I look down on their burning corpses. (It should be obvious at this point to see that I have a rather severe hatred of bed bugs.)

      My friend you have to change your way ofI was in a freaking wheelchair and they got me from the thunder thighs and that really hurts is short they all over but really they hide in the in the wall that's where they are really at that's why professionals always come in and turn on heaters that gets up to a hundred something degrees he is not their friends an apple that you just take out the vacuum go to work but there's another way to get them out the microwave 😒 radiation there's no defense against it there's no way to avoid it since they are creatures of flesh and blood their little bodies will pop like popcorn. I seen this done with TV show 40 years ago in Memphiswhere the extermination company willing to our house so bad that had roachesdid the company you the very new revolutionary technique that I never heard about over again involving microwavethe family left the house for two days the company went in and start setting up little generator like radarall over the place the basement you-name-it the attic they turned off the electricity they set up cameras inside they wouldn't do a van hit the switch and they waitedwhen they were done after 8 hours or so they check the cameras there was nothing but big roaches all over the damn place to a crisp tender texter someone literally popped out exploded because theythe company put on hazmat suit with in with vacuum cleaners and started to go to work. Did it went back in a van started watching the cameras after another 8 hours be even placed out plate of food to see if they'll come outnephenee that house was a damned insolent apocalyptic doesn't do them they did exist they were gone and that's the way we like it. so I've been searching for that particular company or whatever companies might use that technique and I ain't heard no more about it ever. No extermination company usesit's like that company was driven out of business by the professional exterminator who like to use chemicals.

    I literally starved them. I wore vicks vapor rub all over every night for about 6 months (they can go for about 5 months without feeding) and then i stopped just to see what happened and I never got bitten again. It's really so simple. They will not come near you if you are slathered in vicks vapor rub lol It is a 6 month commitment but it works to starve them to death and it's way easier and cheaper than doing all that other stuff! Hope this helps!:)

      The only facts I need to worry about is the FACT that my method worked for me. You can starve them to death. I doubt they can go a year without feeding and still live. It's probably a website that is geared toward fear mongering in order to help the pest control business. I went to several sites that ALL said the average time a bedbug can go without feeding is 3 to 5 months. And given that my method of using vicks for 6 months ended EVERYTHING, I tend to believe those sites that I used. You look really stupid trying to argue with someone who tried something that WORKED. IT WORKED. PERIOD.

    Apprehend is the only thing besides heat that will kill them. Of course you have to call an exterminator. Usually $325 per room. De Clutter De clutter De clutter.
    They like to get in box springs the best if in bed room, living rooms they infest couches, love seats etc.
    Take ALL your clothes and put them in the dryer on high heat for At Least 45 minutes
    Take clothes out put them in large lawn size garbage bags... twist twist twist top than tie it in one solid knot very tight solid knot. Do not drag it and puncture the bag.
    Just get a new cheap laundry basket put ur cleaned laundered Straight outta the dryer clothes and towels ur gonna use for a couple of wks in the new basket Store it in ur bath tub for at least a month. Do NOT sit it in the floor when bath tub is n use. Sit it across the sink or top of closed toilet lid.
    Take and wash all curtains store n the a sealed trash bags after treatment
    Just clean clean clean
    Dont forget you may suck up the eggs in the vacuum cleaner.
    Purses
    Jackets hanging on the living room hook etc
    Clean everything
    Then call an exterminator that carries Apprehend
    Go on their site n theres a link for all exterm that are certified to use their product
    Go to the Apprehend web site and read Duke university discovered the natural fungal spore that kills them in 4-10 days and the spores survive for 3 months
    BB crawl through it n get them on them also the bb then spreads it to other bb and kills em all. Cool ck it out.
    My daughter got BB and we found out and RESEARCHED it on their site and also clicked on their site to locate an Exterminator that is licensed n qualified to apply it. It wasnt cheap BUT it wasnt to expensive. AND it killed them. So just ck it out and make an informed decision before spending a penny bc so many “claims” are out there. Best of luck to everyone fighting them. Its awful to bring one home.
    Ps theaters are becoming infested also
    Look it up.

    I had bedbugs. I treated them. I saw dead bugs in the corner of a kitchen counter. Humm, interesting. I had carpet beetles too. The house is wall to wall shag carpet. Had tropical rat mites in the past. Looks like all of that is finally gone. Tempo SC ultra and Permethrin 10 took care of all that. I live by myself. The fumes of this stuff was horrible. It actually made my eyes and cheeks burn for a couple of days. I did leave for 6 hours and do several rooms at a time. The whole house was done in 4 days. Tempo doesn't recommend floors being treated, but all the carpet was sprayed. It suggests crack & crevice only. I have sensitive electronics and musical instruments. I did not want to use any type of foggers. This worked, but it irritated me for about a week. Follow ups if necessary can be done at half strength. So far, I haven't seen any returning bugs.

    She's not saying "don't" use, she's saying, don't "use" incorrectly! Firstly, what works in Florida wont work in Michigan, as well as, apartment complexes versus a house. I've never even seen one until a person came to stay and 2 weeks later (I have a dog who went back and forth from their room to mine) I saw a bug crawling on my bed. I covered it, had him come identify what it was, and i won't go into detail any further as to what took place regarding that incident! I research everything, first needing to know everything about this bug, everything about what kills them, and finally, where I was regarding infestation. I know getting whigged out would cloud my rational thinking but take it from me, not whigging out is the hardest part of a bed bug problem. By whigged out I mean, creepy crawly feelings, imagined itching and the very few instances that send your ass whirling out of your mind, seeing one. I have seen 4. I have not looked for them on my matresses after intuitionally knowing to get the covers. I wouldnt go there. Whether you look or not, COVER your matress' period. Every matress. I bought matress covers for my couch and loveseat. Duct tape the zippered end! That my friends is step one! (IF YOU HAVE AN INFESTATION WHERE YOU SEE THEM WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK, YOUR SCREWED, CALL AN EXTERMINATOR) Until you know the schedule of your bed bug (which they mostly come out in the dark, hence bug 2, they can and will adapt to your schedule. I am on third shift as you can tell by the time stamp! By now you should know what rooms are harboring these bloodsucking ****ers cause your vacuuming at least 2 times a day immediately disposing of the canisters contents. If you dont have a bagless vacuum, I suggest that be the next item to spend your money on! Continuing on, foggers and sprays. I bought black flag bed bug aerosol spray and Adams mist spray (only at Walmart) and Adams foggers. I have not used the foggers again knowing the bugs you'd know that they'll pretty much stay where they are comfortable and can feed. Foggers I deduced would make them go into the walls and scatter hiding where they can hide. You dont want that. This is what she means by "dont" use. Bug 3 and Black flag. Yeah, it killed on contact after dousing it and leaving a wet circle of spray that made me cough, couldnt spray it all over like on carpet and around baseboards, on furniture..... the smell makes you cough, not good at all for your pets! Don't "use" aerosol Bed bug sprays. And finally, still vacuuming 2 times a day (yes, you have to make it a second job and diligence is control) Adams mist spray, is by far the best I have used. Before going to bed I do a vacuum and I am down to 5 days before I get a bite if at all, I will do a complete spray of carpet and around baseboards, inside closets for good measure, etc. I cant say they are gone cause bug 4 was so tiny, but it bit me for its first and its only time before I killed it. Bugs 1 and 3 were almost adults, bug 2 was a teenager so to speak, and bug 4 as I stated above. That my friends is where Im at today. Her don'ts she explained as best she could. As a person who has them, I think I explained better!?! I hope my comment is helpful.
    And one more thing, sometimes we cant get to the dtore right away..... baking soda around the bed, alcohol for immidiate spray, and they cant stand tea tree oil, lavender oil, peppermint oil any of these you can line the outer edges of your matress' and on your feet cause they will live in carpets, hence the vacuuming, and I have put oils on my foot and ankles and rubbed it on my dogs! Dollar tree! Good luck!

      Thank you for being my only reply and question! I never had another bed bug. It's been over a year as I recall that nightmare, and I am proud to say, I have no bed bugs! Those were the only bed bugs I seen.
      After a year, I removed the covers from my furniture, vacuumed all the baking soda out while looking for any dead bugs and proud to say, I seen no bugs. Whether those were the only ones or there were more and they died elsewhere, I hope to never know! Of all the money I spent on foggers, sprays, oils, etc. - Adam's spray (non aerosol) and baking soda were the best weapons against bed bugs. Your timing, diligence and immediate action with the right weapons not only took care of the bed bugs before they could infest, but there's not an insect in my house! I still am at the same house obviously! The amount of soda, length of time it's left in your carpet, your mental and physical condition must be in control and fight mode cause you will be at war! I was the terminator for real! 😆 And I believe I really did have those 4 and I won! I also believe I was more anal than a normal person should ever have to be, but I don't have any bug problems. I recently had a pipe burst in the crawl space and I went into freak mode cause I envisioned an army of silverfish, ear wigs, centipedes, spiders, and any other damp dwelling bugs invading the inside of my house! Adam's spray is my go to! It lasts up to two weeks. I haven't had to spray twice!

    so i recently got bed bugs and been killing them with DE, i was looking all over the net how to get rid of them, i came across this one site where it says if you cover yourself like a burrito with a rather large blanket it could help them to not feed on you since they wouldn't like to do much work. I also put gloves on my hand's high socks and a beenie at night over my head. I tuck in my pjs and pants legs in my socks and i tie my hair back and rub Vicks and put de next to the couch while i sleep, it seems to work some nights. but Vicks does help with them not really biting but i pull down the beenie on my nose and it does seem them to not come to attack me as much as before we also got rid of the carpets but before i put de everywhere and it worked. I also went out to get those childproof outlet covers and put de inside so if they come out they would be covered in that stuff. I also painted the plate around the outlet so it can get stuck or they wouldn't be able to get out through those plate things. i got rid of my dresser and will get something with a medal so it would make things easier for me to catch them. i also warped my mattresses in a heavy tarp with shipping tape that is strong. the box springs and I inspect them each week i make sure they're not going on the seems of the bed. I put de on the frames of the bed and put the mattress on top so if they squeeze through they would have to go through that stuff. i will not rest till i have rest.. i have also painted my room, they hate the smell. and paint your furniture, i heard the first thing people do when they get a house is a paint, it kills germs and such because they don't like the smell and seels the bugs in the holes. if you have an apartment just paint the walls the same color and it could help

    Dr. Jones is definitely of wisdom; I really wish that I had her help in April 2019 when my ex-landlord wielded my mom as a mouthpiece to order me out of my apartment in Leon Valley. No written quit notice (which is REQUIRED by the Texas Property Code!!!), no moral objection, no legal objection, no ethical objection, no logistical objection . . . no nothing was done on my behalf. Among what I left behind was my Super Nintendo Entertainment System that I had since I was a kid . . . argh, I am so mad about this!!!
    I was working toward civilian motor authority so that I could hire a U-Haul truck to transport out my stuff in one fell swoop instead of making multiple trips through municipal transit because I knew that it was a matter of time before a treacherous landlord would chase me out. What really angers me is that my ex-landlord could have posted a notice for me to come to the office and talked with me like an adult about the problem. My ex-landlord could have called for a moving van and pulled some strings to lodge me at one of its sister complexes complete with the protocols to de-bug my stuff -- aka basic human decency. It goes a long way.
    Needless to say, I have a very frigid relationship with my mom and dad because of this; as soon as I find a smartphone that is at least a match for my Kyocera E6560, I am turning in my resignation letter to them both.

    My approach to bugs (ants, fleas, pincer bugs) has always been similar the photos at 10:12 and it has always worked spectacularly for me, using anything and everything, from baking soda, borric acid, flea powder to even bleaching cleanser. I've never have bugs return to one place a second time, since some of the powder that fell into the carpet, crevices, space under the appliances, etc. stayed behind and blocked their passage. Bed bugs are a different challenge, since they can hide in a convenient (for them) place and keep attacking the same host; blocking the path to said host would not be quite as easy with Comet cleanser. But I'll keep creating barriers wherever it's useful to keep them from spreading. I've saturated the one chair where I detected them with poison and put the cushions in my car, not to return until they've been baked in the sun. Seems that Vaseline mixed with various irritants (soap, bleaching powder, etc. ) is the most promising way of treating any hiding spots that can't be effectively dusted with DE. Hacking these things is what's worked for me in the past, and I'm not about to change if the alternative is a $1,500 heat treatment.
    PS: I started watching this as the foggers I set were finishing up, so the damage is done, but I didn't see any evidence of a big exodus, so it might not be a big deal in this case. I seem to have caught this early and maybe there wasn't a big population in the first place. The ones I've seen seem pretty dumb and easy to kill. Speaking of foggers, years ago when I used one on a wasp nest in an attic, my late father's vacant house was crawling with half-dead wasps for a few days, but when I came back at the end of the week, they were all dead, so the fogger seems to have done its job.

He says his stuff is much stronger and will kill BBs and other bugs much better. So, i wait...!

If you get another attack you have to deep clean and dust the places you sleep again. It's only when and where you sleep that you have to worry.

      Get checked for scabies. They are microscopic mites that burrow into the skin and trigger an allergic reaction that manifests as bumps, red dot trails and acute itching. They are usually spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact with an infected person.

    I know this is an old post but if anyone can tell me if bed bugs are noticeable when you have them in your home because my daughter keeps getting bit every night wakes up with bumps three in a row or in a zig zag but I can not find the bed bugs I've searched everywhere in my home. Do they hide underneath baseboards ? Because they are not on my mattress or any of the furniture if we sleep on our couch she doesn't wake up with the bumps on her skin. I feel like if they are hiding in the baseboards I would still see traces of them right ? Its literally driving me crazy

    • @warpet2011
      @warpet2011 4 роки тому +2

      If they are in the baseboards, which is possible, get some Climbups (bed bug interceptors) and place them under each bed leg. They will get trapped in the Climbups. If she is still is getting bitten then the bedbugs are hiding in the box spring or on the bed frame, you have to search more, they get into cracks and crevices that you would not think possible. Cimexa dust, Crossfire aerosol, Bedlam aerosol work well. Go To domyownpestcontrol, all one word and you can purchase products used by professionals.

      Bed bugs can stick to skin but so could any bug. Keep an eye out for red marks on the skin, and check on him at random times at night. Sadly, they are elusive in the early stages so it can get wors before you know what the problem is. Good

    I’m finding bites on myself almost anywhere on my body. It’s not very many, a few here and there, sometimes 2 maybe 3 around each other. Most of the time it’s only one. I’m pretty sure they’re bed bugs but I don’t know. I’ve tried looking up bites but I’ve seen so many different things. The bites on myself even vary in look. Sometimes they’re clearly some type of bite, sometimes it looks like a spider bite, and sometimes also small white head pimples. I’m a hairy guy, so it could just be in grown hairs, but I read that the bites can appear as small white head pimples. I’ve also scoured my mattress and blankets but haven’t seen ANYTHING. While I was looking I got something that looked like a bite, I can literally just be sitting there, and a bite appears and I see NOTHING. Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t think so.
