- An update and more in-depth explanation on how I got rid of a small bed bug infestation from my last video where I talked about using CimeXa insecticide powder. I got a request for a video and I thought I would make a video so others dealing with bed bugs could learn from what I did to help themselves.

This was great! My family had bedbugs sometime back, and it was hell getting rid of them. I know about diatomecious earth and looked to see if CimeXa was just... that, but apparently it's even more effective for bedbugs! You can catch them from library books even, so it's great to know there's good options out there!
Great explanation, also thank you for showing how you applied it.
A good way is to oil the walls put it on the cracks of the floor of your room and put it on your bed and then sleep on plastic for 3 months… and you can live with thousands and they won’t be able to bite you…
I moved into an apartment with 100,000 of them and I heavily oiled my walls.. immediately removed my carpets and bleached the floors.. oiled the walls put new carpet down. Put this power on my new carpet and then plastic on top and then my bed and I put that on my bed and plastic around it. I made an oil spray to the side of the bed.. and by the time I finished my lease I had no bed bugs…
I had so many in that place I would find and sweep dead’s ones off the plastic all the time.
I also washed my laundry daily and dried my bed sheets every night. I also never put a couch in there and I powdered ever floor and put plastic on top of it. I was afraid to have more furniture than I needed.
But by the end of my lease I was honestly ready to stay there and about 2 months before I took the plastic down… and vacuumed my floors and I didn’t have a new infestation by the time I left.
Now everytime I get a new place. I powder all of the carpets and I sleep on an air mattress for a few weeks before I bring my stuff in… I got PTSD from that nightmare
Like mineral oil?
@@TheGrubbFamily1 I used olive oil lightly.. bed bugs would crawl on my ceiling and drop on me..
So I lightly oiled the walls so they couldn’t climb them.
@@TheGrubbFamily1 I think a mineral oil would dry to quickly. I would go for olive oil, or any oil that’ll make the walls slippery
@@TheGrubbFamily1 another option is 2 sided tape around the wall but it looses its sticky pretty quick and it’s hard to keep tearing off and put back up
@@TheGrubbFamily1 put it this way I wrapped my bed in plastic oiled the sides powdered the floors and inside my plastic and washed my blankets and pillows everyday. I bagged all my clothing only kept out what I needed. I mean.. I did what I had to do. It’s a lot of work and it takes renewing the powder, renewing the oils on a weekly basis.
You can not give them an inch of room to be anywhere. They will live anywhere they can in the entire house.
I also used an insecticide called Hawker and it's very good.Also spread Diatomecious earth
Thanks for this video! I like your non hysterical approach. I don't like the bites I'm getting but I know it's really no big deal. I'll try your method to see if it works.
good luck, hope you solve your bed bug problem soon
thanks for this video - just bought some cimexa and about to use it on my mattress, was looking for something that will explain how to use it and if it's safe and your content explained that. Hopefully it'll help! thanks again
Hope it works for you
How did it work out? Can you give update please?
Just purchased, man I hope this works.
Did it work for you? I'm going crazy getting bit up every night!!
@@blahhblahh3684 it didn’t work for me! After using this I started getting bit bad after a few days! I tried mattress covered too, so not waste your time and money. The product CrossFire is the only thing that ever worked for me and it worked so fast. Just follow the easy instructions, you just mix the whole bottle with 1 gal of warm tap water and put into a spray bottle. I sprayed my entire home, bed, couches, baseboards, closets, etc really spray everything good and damp and let it completely dry. I did this over a month ago and I’m telling you I haven’t been bit since. I purchased off Amazon but don’t take my word for it, check out this products reviews! It works so well, even exterminator companies use it. 🩷 I pray you get rid of them!
@@blahhblahh3684I used it. It's very effective. And fast!
update?
HEAT is very effective, 115 F, KILLER POINT
Not if it forces the bugs to hide behind walls to escape the heat and travel to other rooms our dwelling units. I got my next door neighbor's bugs scampering over to me because she had her apt heat treatment.
Edit: But I will agree that using steam heat from a steam cleaning machine on infested furniture is an effective killing method, yes.
I've used it, 👍
I read somewhere that you’re apparently not supposed to put Cimexa on your bed sheets. Did putting it on your sheets cause any damage or staining?
Nope, washed off just fine even after multiple applications.
how did you get rid of the bed bugs when you found them in ur pillowcases?
Thank you soooo much.
Thanks for this update video! Checking in again to see if you're still BB free. Hoping so!!
yep still have not had anymore bed bug bites
Any updates?
im going to have to lock my cat out of my room at night if i do this. sigh
Thankyou for this video I don't know what to do I had it last year and it wasn't to bad. And they were killed well so I thought they were. But now again a year later and they're back and I think more now but I now see where they coming from and they are behind the baseboards and I'm sacred 😨😥 I feel like pouring boiling water to it but I have carpet and don't want to wet carpet and have them grow more bc of water. And I just bought last night the bed bug spray and the diatomaceous earth but don't know what to use 1st.
Should I spray on them 1st and then pour the powder on them. I don't know what to do
Not sure since I only used cimexa for my bed bug problem. You probably should use the spray first cause the diatomaceous earth doesn't work as fast.
3 months of bites cant find the bastards. vacuumed dt earth, sprays etc... wtf.
What is the name of the power you use
did you put it on your baseboards also ? and apply
in cracks in crevices
Yeah the first time I applied it to all the cracks. After that I just applied to the the bottom of the bed sheets every two weeks for a couple months
@@kookinit11 i saw 3 in my house in 3 years they must’ve straggled in from my work the dust my pest control people used they said it worked for like 7 years . they freak me out those creepy
little things
you can also buy repellent to spray on your clothes and suitcase if you travel a lot
I hardly have any reactions yet I’ve seen 5 bed bugs crawling on my bed different times.
Two I saw in one day were at 3 am and an 5 am.
Even though I did bomb my room 2 times.
I also when I get bit and I feel itchy there’s only one bite.
And it’s usually on my hands😭
If you can see them crawling on bed, you might have a bad infestation. For the 3 times I delt with them I never actually saw them crawling, only when I was trying to find them hiding in the pillow case. I never tried the bombs because they seem more toxic but I would give the cimexa a try since its cheap. Better to get bit on your hands, when I got bit on my neck I had to wear collared shirts to hide the big red welts on my neck. Good luck on getting rid of your bed bug problem.
@@kookinit11tbh I don’t think it’s bad, I only ever find them when it’s when they are exist active and I’m half asleep, my cat wakes me up when I’m half sleeping as she swats at them.
I’m giving that stuff a try I put it everywhere so much that my lungs hurt lol
@@cottonspixxes Yeah I used too much the first time and that stuff got everywhere and dried out my skin. I switched to applying it with just a paint brush and it was much easier to use.
@@kookinit11 mmm okay!
I did a lot of research on these damn things. They typically come out at night when you are sleeping. so that is why those times. if you slept at different times, they would adjust to those times you DO sleep. or they will be around where you maybe sit often, at the computer etc. that happened to me before. I had a time getting rid of them, but I finally did.
Where did you find the plastic covering?
Not sure what plastic covering you are talking about
How did you clean up the stuff?, i feels impossible to clean off
I just washed it off with soap and water. It dried my skin out so I had to put on some moisturizer after though
The feces?
I don't have no more powder can I leave it there for a long time and it work that's what I want to ask
I believe the site says if it stays undisturbed it will continue to work for 10 years
@@kookinit11 I made a mistake and put my water in is it still work please help me cuz I try to make it last
@@kookinit11 oh one more thing I still see white powder on a round of my bed when I put water in it
@@user-we1lt1fq7j should still work, there are instructions that say you can mix it with water for easier application
@@kookinit11 I put diamond tatious Earth downs and should death be enough for bed
Don't fleas bite in lines of 3? And yikes I'd rather have them properly exterminated vs spreading pesticides around my bed and sleeping with the bed bugs
I made this video for people that can't afford an exterminator with small infestations. If you have the money exterminator would be great, but last time I checked they don't cost $15
What about your clothes?
I went through my clothes and washed them. Never found any in my clothes or had issues with them in my clothes
Is this toxic for animals
not sure on that, from what I know, the powder dehydrates bugs so if you get it on your skin or your pets skin it will just give them dry skin and all you pretty much need to do is wash it off
no
Yes, it is toxic for animals and humans.
They’ll be back and you’ll pass them to your friends
if your bed bug problem is that bad you gotta be negative towards others for no reason, all I can say is good luck and I hope you solve your bed bug problem
@@kookinit11 LOL, he's satly bro
