Delores, I hate people who do that. There is one from Colombia living where I leave. He brought a couch from the street, and I have never put my ass on it. I will never put my ass in a couch that many other people sat on. Who knows who sat there.
@@linsanity1981.....and it will be hard for you to prove that the bugs came in the bed unless they were sleeping when you got the bed. I think you are telling us a lie.....you have those damn bed bugs before you bought the bed. Are you saying you did not check the bed at the store.....get out.
I had them in my bed when I was a teenager. The way I killed them was I got my iron and just ironed the whole mattress. I also pressed the steam button all over the bed and made sure the steam went into every little crevice in the bed. This method actually worked and they never bothered me again! :)
Yes! This will work,but you cannot assume you will get all of them.They are very prolific egg layers and you must be diligent in watching for them. They might crawl in from a neighbor's apt.,a bus,school,or ANYWHERE! Everyone must take responsibility to rid the world of these monsters who suck our blood.
Agreed. Of all the species that have gone extinct because of humans, bed bugs would've been one I would DEFINITELY be happy to see gone. Would not miss them at all.
The government stopped the use of D.D.T. that's why we have them again and this time I had them twice 😭😭😭😭 they are nasty little bugs that feed day and night. I only pray they are found to have a cure all for these nasty little things or bring back the D.D.T.
I remember the saying "Good night sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite" when I was a kid and I didn't know what a bed beg was into later in life.
"Sleep tight" is a reference to beds (pallets) that were supported not by box springs (not invented yet), but by rope. As the rope stretched, one had to take up the slack - aka: tighten.
One of our local shelters has an interesting way of preventing bedbug re-infestation: a heat room. It is a small room constantly kept at a temperature hot enough to kill bedbugs (and most other creepy crawlies). ANYTHING coming into the building for the first time goes into the heat room for 24 hours. New residents give up their personal belongings for a day, but when they get them back, they are guaranteed bedbug-free.
I won my war thanks to Jason Akers over on the Green Akers Pest Control page here on UA-cam! He's the Terminator when it comes to pest control and if you follow his advice, your bed bug days are OVER.
Totally had to deal with these things and didn't have the money to call a professional. Months of diligence and careful use of diatomaceous earth, heat, steam, vacuuming, patience, and little sleep. These things are the devil incarnate.
land lord luckily has the responsibility in calling pest control. I don't think Anchor (the exterminator company is that good though) so i'm doing the same stuff. what steam machine did you use?
Trillium: Wild Edibles diatomaceous earth doesn't work. You need to take all carpet out of your home. Get dawn dishwashing soap and tea tree essential oil in a spray and go to war. Worked for me.
It's a normal psychogenic response to hearing about parasites, psychogenic experiences spread incredibly fast from mind to mind, so coming back to this thread will make you itchy over and over again
I heard a pest control expert in MN put some in a jar and left them in truck entire winter. They froze solid. Unfroze in spring and came back to life. Like many parasitic organisms can and do.
You should still check your matress once or twice a month. I would even get a spray to treat your luggage and guests when they come in your home. You can't trust anyone. It doesn't matter if they are a very clean person. These bugs don't discriminate.
Boone Park no..... Never had. Never will. Its more like.. people who get them and dont care, and people who get them and freak! HYGIENE PEOPLE.. If ur washing ur house daily as u should, u will spot anything before it becomes an infestation!
See MJ's comments. USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH OR BAKING SODA EVERYWHERE ON A REGULAR BASIS, ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. IT KILLS ALL CRAWLING BUGS. DO NOT BREATHE IT IN. VACUUM UP WITH A SHOP VAC!
Upper middle class neighborhood. Spotless clean house that my friends refer to as the HGTV house. We got them from a relative that stayed over for a holiday, he had stayed at a hotel the night before and picked them up. Because we run a tight ship, we caught it early on, but still spent $6000 in treatment, tossed thousands more in goods straight in the trash. It's been well over a year, and so far so good. My wife has severe PTSD about it and stills gets up in the middle of the night and searches. It can happen to anyone.
I understand your wife's PTSD. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown over it. That was 6 years ago and I STILL think about them when I'm out and about. We went to the movies the other day and I would not take my purse (or any bag) inside and I used a flashlight to check the seats. I dont ever want to go thru that hell again!!
O Simmons yeahhh I had one bite me there before and I mistook it for a pimple.. but then it took the shape similar to a mosquito bite that’s when I knew it was a bed bug
Those things have anything covered and they don't discriminate they accumulate clean, new, nasty or old. Wet or dry. Only thing they can't stand is heat, powered products. Alcohol full blast. Plastic, especially the covering things up with it and the sound. They do not like greasy things. Otherwise they show up anywhere in any nook or crany. The thing is they like to be in the dark and nest under warm humans. Or in carpets the most after they suck your blood. Why are they called BUGS? When they are not. Grandma did say don't let the bedbugs bite because people had micro bugs and boweevels. Those were real bugs like fleas that just accumulated and bite. But Dust mites and ( Bedbugs) are not Bugs they are Parasites. They only exist due to the way they feed off your blood or skin flakes. They are mights. Now real bugs like boweevels and micro bugs and. roaches and fleas. You use pesticide and bug spray. The parasites need that special stuff. Plus it has nothing to do with how dirty you are it just depends on how well they can nest and accumulate. Alcohol 91% usually dry them out. Baking soda and vacuum cleaning. Plastic smuthers them. Dryer sheets it's something about those they just don't like them. With anything you do if they are on you then you will see the bites. They look like pimples and they itch. Which means they are getting your blood. They appear clear when they are born and they only appear to look like bugs after they have sucked your blood and then they go off and hide. Usually they are worst than mice because it you are in bed or sitting on furture and you happen to see one? Most likely behind your unprotected pillow or. bed clothes. Or clothes that you wear and it's doesn't matter how clean you are. These things only purpose is to suck your blood. The worst thing is you could sit somewhere over somebody's house or at a vehicle, theater, hotel. School church any place that has material they can cling to from tiny floor cracks to rugs especially base boards, people own places now and have that problem with them being invested in the walls. Look like brown tears rolling down the wall. This would be places invaded that were not treated and they be ready with somebody elses blood those are the darker ones. They say you can't smash them because they mutante if you do. You can find them in just about any crack or any place in doors or out like that and. somebody has them and you don't, if it's on the furniture or place. Like back in the 1990's they never exist. Nobody ever heard of these things. So lots of people were shocked to get them. They were said to have been brought over from somewhere out of America and people would bring them to hotels and motels and they would accumulate behind base boards and the works. People don't even realize they are being bitten. Still it use to get so terrible because people didn't know how to get rid of them. All of a sudden they started to appear everywhere. It was like they were created in a science lab in secret to bite be attractive to human blood like mosquitos when at first they didn't do that they were known to attack farm animals and stuff like that. One day they took a flock. Train looads of birds and and let them lose because birds carry them too so watchout for that. Yes infact the best way to find them is to get a FLASH LIGHT and do a very close inspection this is how small they are tiny tiny tiny untill they bite you. So check anything tith that light that you occupy. Beds clothed shoes hair. Esx. When you are around. Other people Tell people to check themselves, they could sit on your stuff and poooow you could get them just from on being on them. So before they walk in your house and be careful where you lean or sit. Like on seats or elevators and stuff like that. If you find yourself in contact with them. The most embarrassing thing yo do is pretend they are not there because that won't make them disappear. The best thing is as soon as you see any. It's Miller time!! Go to war and collect all the heat plastic Alcohol and powder but powder can be too messy and makr your house look dusty. Remember these are parasites not BUGS. I call them Beddy Byes. They are creepy but the creepiest tthing to do is ignore them. Good luck.
The man is correct bedbugs are much worse. The problem with mosquitos its the body of water they come from if you raised them in a glass of water no effects bedbugs will bankrupt you. As far as health they sent me to the ER. Are you ready. I had 100 bites in 10 minutes and didn't see one of them so when people spout out the ass try livin
Sweetpea, that’s the worst idea ever. Fumigation does little more than to drive them deeper into crevices. Methodical attention and good ol’ hand to hand combat is the only option.
I was bitten by bedbugs at a bed and breakfast, and those fuckers are NOT cool.. They are pretty fast for their size, their only active a few minutes at night, it seems like they know when you sleep, and you`ll have to freeze all your clothes and fabrics, -20C or colder, then wash them at 50C or more. And some eggs might still be ok, and the little bastards can live for month without feeding. Their bites are like 5 mosquito bites in the same place and if you scratch it it bleeds and leaves a sore. Got bedbugs? NUKE YOUR HOUSE!
Jan Christian Frodahl that's how I feel, my friends boyfriend moved in with just clothes but her whole house including the wood furniture got infested, her and her daughter went on steroids because they became ill. I've seen some documentaries too where the family exhausted their savings trying to save their home but bed bugs won and they left it all behind.
bad news.... i'm very nearsighted and when i take a shower i take my glasses off....I was in the shower one morning and thought i was seeing things because i was seeing small dots moving around.... on closer inspection, i wasn't seeing things that weren't there.... There were dozens of babies on the walls of my shower.... i later found out by tracing the fecal trails that they had come into my apartment from my new neighbors, via the space between the wall and the pipe under the sink.... I put 2sided tape on the ceiling walls and floor around the door and I completely eradicated them 2-3 times but they kept appearing in my bathroom... I ended up having to move because the landlord wouldn't do anything to get my neighbor to fix the problem.
I had bedbugs in college. It was awful. Not only were they all over my mattress, but they got into my bag and would bite me in class. I felt tired and itchy all the time, and oh, that smell! I will never forget the way they smell!
Bed bugs are bad. But incompetent landlords are worse. *edit* For those of you saying it isn't the landlord's problem: It is, by law, their problem. I took it to court and I won. My complaint is with the fact that I actually had to take it to court. (Which was a long drawn out process) If you're charging some $1200 a month for rent it's expected you can save some money for an emergency. If not, you're just a slumlord looking to make a quick easy buck.
These people complaining about the landlords are just "blowin in the wind" There is no point blaming anyone! You can get them in a cab,on a bus,in a hotel,a casino,or ANY place. Do not even try to move,blame someone else,or spray some worthless bug killer. IT WILL NOT WORK! It takes research on all the methods,diligence,and time.... I know! Get busy!
Fun fact. I did landscaping and gardening for a while, and we use this fungus to kill aphids, called Beaura Bassiana (I don’t know how to spell it exactly) and it would infect and kill aphids. Well, I had a bed bug problem a few months ago and did some research, turns out it can be used to kill bed bugs. So, one night I captured about 3-4 bed bugs and I created a small mixture of the fungus in a jar and exposed the bugs to them, then I let the bugs back into my room. 3 weeks later and not a single bite. Just a little advice, to anyone having problems (The spores germinate in the bugs as quick as 24 hours, but it can take a while to rid an infestation but I’ve helped my friends out too and the spores have never failed me)
Question: You "made a small mixture of the fungus." Do you know the proportions of fungus to water that you used? I ordered a small quantity of this stuff but it came with no mixing directions.
Yes the fungus will kill them and they are gone forever... I had them and found the right exterminator that used it and its been 3 yrs and counting & not a one !!
4 years since I had bedbugs and the PTSD. Still stands. I can't sleep normally without looking all over my bed at the slightest weird feeling on my skin.
I experience similar symptoms. No one ever talks about the psychological damage they can do in addition to the financial and bodily harm. I still have scars from the bites that blistered on my arms and legs.
Another thing that works... hitting them with a shoe... Being sarcastic a bit lol but point is alcohol only kills on contact. the ones you see are the tip of the iceberg the real army is in hiding waiting for you to doze off to feast once again
Damian Thompson it doesn’t work it drys there shell and they spasm for a couple mins then they run it’s like using a taser on a person it stuns for a second...
Okay here’s the fix. Clean up any clutter in your house Don’t take anything outside to sit it will just spread the bedbugs to neighbors and keep them coming back to you Wash all of your clothes, covers, and curtains and dry them with the hottest setting for 45 minutes. When they’re done bag them up in a trash bag and seal it with a rubber band or better yet get some air tight bags to seal your stuff in. Keep one of the bags for clothes you will be using. Buy bed bug spray that kills them on contact. Spray your bed and any other place like under cushions of couches and the bottom of your bed and box spring. Bag up your dishes and utensils and food in the cabinets. Open all of the cabinets and doors in your home Buy bed bug bombs and put them all through your house. Use as directed you’ll usually have to leave for several hours Buy diatomaceous earth and put it around the base of your walls and in backs and in shoes and everywhere that you couldn’t spray. Put it under your bed and in between your box spring and bed. Make sure it’s food grade diatomaceous earth Put your pillow cases and beds in a covering that is bed bug proof. Keep everything that’s bagged, bagged, and repeat the process after two weeks (with the exclusion of washing your clothes since they are already protected in an air tight bag I think you can buy a steamer from Lowe’s for $45 to apply heat to places like your bed. To kill them. You should do all of these steps. Don’t invite anyone over during this time. Don’t give anything of yours to anyone. You should probably put diatomaceous earth in your car as well
And also make sure to burn everything that you can/are willing to give up no reason in keeping stuff you don’t use it just provides hiding spots and protection from chemicals and stuff for the bugs
Invited a friend to live with us when she got kicked out of her apartment. Found out a few weeks later she had bedbugs, brought them right into the house. Absolute nightmare to deal with. Eventually we moved out of that house and managed to kill all the bugs in our stuff before we got to the new place. I wouldn't wish bedbugs on anyone, its a major pain to deal with and their numbers quickly become uncontrollable.
Patrick Matheson I had to use DE when what I thought was just a bad case of fleas for my two dogs turned into an outright infestation. Thankfully, it was mainly contained to my room, where they slept, but it was a harsh battle. I had to pull everything out of the closet and sprinkle powder there too (I'm grateful I kept most of my things in sealed plastic totes). The house was old and had wooden floors that weren't varnished it anything so there were more cracks for them to hide in. I covered the entire floor for up to a week at a time and would vacuum at the end of the week and repeat the process. At night, I'd place a lamp on the floor with a shallow dish of soapy water (The soap helped to ensure they couldn't jump back out and the fleas were attracted to the light; I'm saying that more for anyone else's benefit since you already seem pretty knowledgeable about these pests, lol). That worked quite well and I'd wake up with a hundred or so fleas in the water. However...we realized we weren't able to keep the puppies and gave them to our shelter, sadly, but it allowed us to focus more on the cleanup. In the end, I'm not sure if it worked completely. We moved about two months into the process. I was terrified they'd follow us to our new home but surprisingly, they didn't. We didn't clean the DE off the floor when we left and this was during the winter time. They don't like the cold and can only go a few weeks without food, I think. Considering in my experience, many places aren't immediately cleaned by the landlord, the place should be free of pests for the next person that lives there. The DE can easily be vacuumed and mopped up. Anywho, I too was wondering why he hadn't mentioned using this stuff in the video.
I had them. Worst experience ever! I got rid of them by sleeping on my stripped mattress with double sided tape all around it. I'd wake up and they were stuck to the tape. Did this for 2 weeks straight and they were all gone. I slept with no sheets or anything though. Not the best experience.
Yea that's me rite now at 2:34 am....😢 I got up to use the bathroom and I found two just chilling on my blanket smfh so now I'm tearing my whole house apart
Woke up at 2:11am because of a freakin tornado. Ran to get my child and saw one in her bed by her face! Can no longer sleep through the night. Constantly getting up checking. Hired exterminator, thought they were gone, five weeks later got up early to check on child, saw another one!!! Bought diatomaceous earth, Ortho bed bug spray with the sprayer, & Bedlam Plus residual spray, spray beds, baseboards, floors, headboards, dressers, curtains, window seals, behind wall art, wash comforters, sheets, & pillows every week, ...no more bedbugs
They have to be in high heat for a minimum of 60-90 minutes, or alternatively, for things you can’t heat, seal them in a bag and put the items in the freezer for 2-4 days.
Here's some advice: look at your bed, more specifically your bedframe. If it's made of wood, they seem to prefer that, and hang out mostly in the cracks and crevices of the wood. You'll see blackish little spots, almost like black paint splatter/spotting. That's their feces. If you have a metal/black bedframe, it will be very difficult to even see that, so look at any wall outlets near the bed or even in the corners of the wall and ceiling.. More than likely you'll never see them, unless the infestation is really bad or you agitate their hiding spots with pesticides or moving stuff around.. They typically don't live on the mattress and THEY DON'T attach themselves to you. They will, however, hide in clothes, dressers, mattress seams, pillows, or even shoes if that provides meaningful protection from you during the day.
Sprinkle baking soda everywhere. Do it often. The crystals are actually quite sharp to a bed bug. It's also dehydrating if they come into contact with it and don't get cut. And when I say cut it gets into their exoskeleton joints and jacks em up. Sprinkle the stuff everywhere. Sweep or vacuum and reapply.
@@krissifadwa the absolute best way is to get the room to about 130 - 140° F for about 8 to 12 hours. It’ll kill all hatched and unhatched bugs and your problem will be OVER!!! Bed bugs die over 115°. Keeping the room(s) at 140° for at least 8 hours will ensure it gets hot enough in every crevice and hiding spot they take refuge in killing your infestation. You might be able to rent a heater that can keep and maintain a room that hot. If not… get a steamer (they look like a big tea kettle that blasts out steam) and just steam the hell out of EVERYTHING! Paper spontaneously catches on fire at about 480⁰F. You might want to check what other flammable things that burn or might melt but maintaining a room at 140⁰ isn't terribly dangerous.
NO CHEMICALS! USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH AND SPRINKLE/DUST EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE WITH IT. DON'T SIT ON PUBLIC CHAIRS, HAVE VISITORS WHO YOU THINK MIGHT HAVE THEM, FREQUENT DIRTY PLACES. WASH ALL YOUR CLOTHES IN HOT WATER, DRY 20 MINUTES ON HIGH IN DRYER. TAKE A SHOWER AND PUT FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH ON TOP OF DIRTY CLOTHES. EVERY HOLE, NOOK, CRANNY, CREVICE BLOW FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH IN THERE. DON'T BREATHE IT IN. DO THIS ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE. SPREAD THE WORD!
Daracaex so you don't notice IF they're there; and even if they are they're not carrying sny diseases; you don't get itchy, you don't have bitemarks. For all you know, they're not there, even if they ARE there. ...So what does it matter if you have them or not?
+Daracex That's a pretty selfish outlook. These little bastards can hide in your clothes meaning you end up carrying them to another persons house and they get infested. Even inf you don't, most people will react to bed bugs, some people are even allergic to their bites, I'm talking full blown anaphylaxis in their sleep. The bigger the infestation the bigger the risk of you spreading them around, the longer you leave them the more they breed and spread through your home; every crack, nook, and cranny. If you live in a rental property like an apartment, kiss your deposit good bye, maybe even pay some penalties, because you failed to report them. If you live in a house and are ever looking to sell, enjoy spending thousands of dollars on extermination because no one is going to buy until they're gone. So if you do notice them do something about it, and do so early.
Daracaex ikr i feel like they where going into my mouth and out without me feeling it :( its so disgusting i dont have them but ughh , by the way you can get your bed warm all the time so they hate it and dont go in it the first place if you haven't seen them but scared of them ..
Daracaex i was reading this comment as the video talked about that so i didnt hear anything he said. Well, now i know to not rewatch he vid. And im sleeping on the carpet tonight...
There are now bed bug vaccume cleaners and vaccume cleaner extensions that use UV LIGHT AND VIBRATION. I use them on my furniture and I have been bed bug free ever since. Mine is made by the company " Dirt devil".
ScrubLordAnjoo my brother did kind of the same thing. He would catch a cockroach remove their legs and antennas, watch them suffer for a while then step on them. He was a weird kid
20 years back, bedbugs used to trouble everyone in my hostel but me. I was immune, i never felt or realised any bite. Now I'm in my 40s and I get itchy every time i get bitten by bedbugs. This is the strangest thing. Either the bugs have changed or my body has changed !
I lived in a half way house for a time (I was homeless) that had a bedbug problem and they brought in a company that sealed the windows and doors and heated the apt. to 150 degrees for five hours. It took three days for the apt. to cool down so the AC would work, but hey no bedbugs.
My brother and sister in law did that. It cost them 3000.00. All new beds and they were even behind the switch plates and electrical socket plates. My nephews room walls looked like major crime scene there was so much blood on them. It was horrifying!!!
Nah... Just take all your cloths off, drop them on the bed. Walk outside and burn the house down at dusk, standing in front of it screaming "SATAN CLAIMS THY DOMAIN. YOU WERE ALL WARNED. NOW PAY WITH THINE DAMNATION!!!!" Laughing like a madman. When the neighbors call the police simply say there was a spider. :)
I wouldn't wish bed bugs upon anyone. They're worse than every other pest in my book. Hell, I'd rather move into a place with a wasp nest in the front porch awning than another apartment with a bed bug problem.
Yes they are a menace the only insects that mess with you're sleep I went days with sleep because I found out they were in my couches bed and sometimes the chairs too
Anruwe - I am actually thinking that is what I need to do. I thought I got rid of them last year after a visitor dropped some off and now I just found out my couch is infested with them.
Use food grade diatomaceous earth or baking soda under furniture and rugs, in doorways and closed window sills, in the nooks and crannies, in closets, cabinets, car, shed. Leave for a week. Vacuum with a shop vac. Do it every month for at least three months of every year.
A couple of years ago I had a run in with bed bugs... it was terrible. My boyfriend at the time had a daughter and she had one of her friends over for a sleep over. Her friend brought over her pillow and blankets and spent the weekend with us and as she was gathering her things at the end of the weekend she nonchalantly said that her family had bed bugs. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time and chalked it up to "things kids say", but after about two weeks I started getting these strange welts all over my arms and legs and waking up feeling things crawling on me. My boyfriend thought I was losing it until one night I couldn't take it anymore and started ripping the sheets off the bed and pulling the mattress off the frame like a mad person... Low and behold I found the little monsters wedged in the seams of our sheets, pillowcases, mattress, and the wood bed frame. We tried everything to get rid of them but to no avail, finally out of desperation I bought this stuff call Vets Plus Flea and Tick spray made out of peppermint and clove oil after talking with my father and he had told me about an old timey trick of using peppermint oil to get rid of bed bugs. The Vets Plus did the trick. After about 2 weeks of spraying everything down every 2 days we eradicated them from our home.
I know it seems like bed bugs aren't that harmful, but let me tell you a story. A long time ago when I was around 5 or 6, me and my family went to stay at a shabby hotel for some reason or another, and me and my sister had a separate room. Our mom tucked us into bed, we left the lights on bc we were small and scared of the dark, and we started to go off to sleep. All was well. Until the sheets started moving. I opened my eyes and there were millions, MILLIONS of bugs crawling all over us, the bedsheets, the walls, the floors, literally everywhere. I don't think I screamed that much in my life. We were both standing on top of the dressers on the other side of the room by the time our mom and grandparents burst in. It was a nightmare. Pretty sure my sister's legs were bitten all the way up to her thighs. TRUST ME. You want to get rid of bed bugs.
I learned the hard way that I have a TERRIBLE reaction to bedbug bites. One broke the skin and pushed bacteria into my system and I contracted a bacterial infection that made its way into my bloodstream. The bugs cannot make you sick themselves, but if you have bacteria on you, which we ALL do ALL the time (even after a shower), their bites may lead to something worse. #TheMoreYouKnow
No one ever talks about the psychological damage they can do. If you do find you have them, it will be ok. Don’t skimp on treatment, call a professional and make sure they identify and eliminate them entirely. It’s not your fault if you get them, it could happen to literally anyone. And you’re not unclean or disgusting if they infest your home, they could have come from literally anywhere. If you’re dealing with the psychological fallout of an infestation, seek out a counselor to work though it. Speaking from personal experience.
I had a bad bed bug infestation a few years ago, any time we sat on our couch, 10 minutes later, they would come out and bite the shit out of our legs. After a little online researching, I found out that rubbing alcohol kills bed bugs. So I went to the store, bought 6 bottles of rubbing alcohol and spread that shit all over the living room. Few hours later and all the bed bugs died. We even kept the couch up until a few days ago because it's falling apart.
FIVE YEARS AGO and I still have PTSD. Not exaggerating. My info said only about 10% of the population is immune to their bites. I am not part of that 10%. For 6 months I thought I was allergic to the bed or the detergent or the blanket or the stuffing or even my bf. My bf and his mom said it was all In my head and hives are a mental induced reaction so I was "crazy". I have no problem with blood or guts. I avoid drama if possible. I rarely cry. But after this experience, I freak when I see fuzz cuz it might be one. I cried this summer when I first saw a tick because I thought it might be one and it was on me. If I get a mosquito bite, I can't sleep and check myself daily for three weeks to be sure it wasn't a bed bug. If I have a hive I frantically try to prove to myself what the allergen was so I can tell myself it wasn't one of them. The thing was on my bed and came RUNNING AT ME a hell of a lot faster than you reported they can move! You also didn't mention that their eggs are about the same size and appearance of common table salt. I went over everything in my home with baby wipes and alcohol spray, heat AND diatomaceous earth-which I applied using a 1/2" paintbrush to every nook,cranny, groove and crack those flat little f@ckers hide in as well as along all of the baseboards where rugs meet walls. I did that in addition to the exterminator and the bug-proof bed protectors. I had not only every single inch of everything I own to clean to ensure they never returned, but also four kids and all their toys and my lazy bf's stuff too. Every spine of my 500+ library of books had to be inspected and shot with alcohol and covers wiped. Every video case had to be wiped down inside and outside. Anything electric had to be sprayed and bagged. Every stitch of clothing for a family of six, including anything packed away, had to be washed and dried and bagged to prevent reinfestation. Paper products had to be inspected because they hide there. I threw out about 5 grand worth of electronics because they had casings in there and I couldn't get them apart enough to get them clean enough to ensure they were disinfected. The list is so ridiculous. To this day, the clothes in my bureaus are still in plastic bags "just in case". I cried when I got home from my job at a hotel because they reportedly had them there, not where I was, just there in the same building. I sprayed myself with alcohol, including bottom of my shoes, to make sure I didn't bring any home with me. I am so thankful I no longer work there, it is truly a relief mentally. My bf's uncle moved 6 states away because he had gotten them (10 years earlier and before we met) and couldn't get them out of his house even after numerous treatments. This is not a normal bug. These things are hell on earth. I thought the things I read on line were written by overly dramatic super sensitive people until it happened to me. Like an extreme germs phobic person would, I dread all the things I used to love: flea markets, movie theaters, going anywhere-even to other people's homes, because these bugs could be anywhere and that's how people usually get them, from these places.
A M Brown Oh my god same. People will never understand what it's like to go through this until they go through it. They act like you're just crazy. It definitely changed me... in the worst way possible. People get annoyed with how obsessed I was talking about bed bugs. They don't get how it was waking up to millions of terrible red huge bites and blood stains In the middle of the night. I had to throw 16 full bags away of perfectly good things because I simply didn't have the time nor the energy to search and clean everything before my spray. For me as well trying to go to the places I used to love I don't anymore. Haven't seen a movie in months . Simply because I don't trust anything anymore... People are careless and don't care about spreading them which makes me mad. It changed my life for the worst. I completely understand .
It’s been two years since I got them from a neighbor next door at my first apartment I got with my husband. I found one on my foot when I was watching my new born daughter sleep on the bed. It was horrible I ended up with horrible postpartum depression and quit my job. I ended my lease and left everything we had in our room. Her baby clothes, bags, shoes, dresser, bed, and electronics. We had to sleep in the living room for two weeks and it was hell. Finally my mom stepped in and told us to move in with her. All our other things were sprayed and steamed by a exterminator and put into storage. I haven’t been able to move out my moms house for fear of going through that experience again. I never want anymore children because my first experience was horrible always checking myself and the room with a flashlight. Instead of enjoying my baby when she was tiny. They ruined my life. I also only go to drive in theaters because of fear.
I completely understand the fear of bed bugs, me and my kids went through the same hell in 2013, I did my research on them and we left everything behind, clothes, toys, furniture and left, to this day I cringe when I hear people talk about them, that was the worst experience of our lives, the place I'm renting now had them in it last year with previous renters and I'm scared to death that the bugs are going to come back, I never want to go through that again!!! 🙁
We had bedbugs and we got rid of them with diatomaceous earth. We covered the mattress with a painters brush, on the edges, and box spring. Then we put a fitted sheet on so we weren't sleeping on powder. We also put diatomaceous and the edges of the walls. With in a week 1/2 they were gone. I keep a bag of that stuff in my pantry just in case they come back.
Well none of what i mentioned go in your ear... one goes up your butt and another in your brain while another spreads all kinds of nasty diseases. sleep tight.
I had them and it was absolutely horrifying! I still have problems sleeping and I no longer wear gowns to sleep in. I wear long pajamas and socks. I was highly allergic to them and I was treated for bites 3 times last summer. I am way more cautious about people in my house and I watch what I bring home. I kept my alcohol bottle with me for months. It gave me a weird sense of security. Thank God they are gone!
Bed bugs are the worst pest. I lived with them for about two years at my parents house. I had always heard the "don't let the bed bugs bite" thing and never really acknowledged them as being a real thing. I remember waking up with mosquito-like bites each night confused about what was going on. Then I started wondering if we had fleas or if I had an allergy to something. Then I discovered one of the bugs and searched the internet and discovered what was going on. I was sorta oblivious to the infestation because I mainly was in my own room most of the time. Then one day I ventured into the living room and saw them absolutely fucking everywhere. Behind picture frames, all over every piece of furniture it was a god damn nightmare. I took a bunch of measures to isolate my room from them, but it's hard to stop them all. I did manage to get only bit once or twice a week and when I did I would wake up and immediately search between my mattress and box springs near creases and find a fat ass bug. I'd kill it and my own blood would splatter out of it. I moved out of there almost ten years ago and went to great measures to stop from bringing them with me. I washed and dried every piece of clothing on high heat, inspected every possession thoroughly and didn't bring my bed or any furnishings with me. I still get freaked out if I see any sort of oval brown looking shape. The worst thing is that if you have bedbugs, nobody wants to come to your house and they don't want you to visit their house either. Because they can travel with you in your shoes, clothes, purse or other things depending on how careful you are. After washing and drying my clothes I would put them in trash bags and tie it shut so nothing could enter.

AfonsodelCB random black dots on blankets & stuff around places you sleep. Those are pheromone trails. That's how they get back, its left in a previous feeding spot so they can come back & feed again. They leave them right after they eat. Also, look for little brown-black things scurrying accross things. They are tiny but fast.
I’m so obsessed with bed bugs that I’m actually going to try to find solution to wipe them out! I got very sharp to their bite and my sense to their bite is very strong and I tend to wake up instantly to the bite! I just wake up and start killing them and soaking bed covers in hot water! So basically you need to put up fight to wipe them.
I never feel them bite. And I know they are near my bed but I can't find them! I've gotten rid of them about three times over the past several years but this time it's not working. I wonder are they getting immune to the Hot Shot bed bug killer I've been using.
This is how to get rid of them without using toxic chemicals or paying a boatload for pest control, Make sure you follow the instructions. You will be glad you did: Vacuum everything (including between mattresses, every day until they are gone, and then once a week after that. Wash clothes and sheets in lavender pine sol. And the thing that will actually get rid of them is to use food grade diatomacious earth (DE) - it is sold in 15 pound bags at Tractor Supply for about 15 bucks - get food grade, which, by the way, do *not* eat - and a wall-duster (it is like a small tool that blows the DE in a fine powder, costs about 15 bucks also. If you just chunk it around, the bugs walk around it, and it won't kill them, so you sprinkle it in a fine dust using the duster tool). Instructions below. If you have pets, I don't know what breathing it in will do to them, but, when I have used it, I dust it around before I am ready to leave the house for a few hours, and I stay away so it can settle. I have not had any breathing issues with this, but if anyone in the house has asthma or COPD or anything like that, I would only do it when they are gone for the whole day, and maybe not even then because I don't know how it might affect them. It basically makes the whole house a bit dusty for a few hours. Anyway, you take off your electric plates (off the walls and light switch plates) and use the duster to blow it into the walls, and also between your mattresses, under the bed, and around all the edges of all the walls in the entire house. Re-dust just like this once a week for a few weeks, then once a month, even after you don't see any more bugs. It also kills roaches and spiders. If it gets in a clump on the carpet, do *not* rub it in or swipe it up, you will make a stain - just vacuum it up.
MJ SpeakLife Very good info! And as with anything involved in getting rid of these horrible things: a ton of work, but well worth it to be free of them at last!👍🏻
Use food grade diatomaceous earth or baking soda under furniture and rugs, in the nooks and crannies, under your bedsheets, in closets, cabinets, car, shed. Leave for a week. Vacuum with a shop vac. Do it every month for at least three months of every year. Every month is better.
USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH OR BAKING SODA EVERYWHERE ON A REGULAR BASIS, ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. IT KILLS ALL CRAWLING BUGS. DON'T BREATHE IT IN. VACUUM UP WITH A SHOP VAC!
Diatomaceous Earth, something that could be found at any plant store, can kill the bugs easy. Find some and spread them in the area you know holds them. The earth becomes a barrier where you spread it.
DDT also caused shell thinning in various bird species including Bald Eagles. It nearly drove Peregrine Falcons and Brown Pelicans to extinction. DDT is no joke.
This has been the most entertaining video about bedbugs. I haven’t seen them in person yet, but my dermatologist said that she suspects my bites to be bedbug bites. After hearing that yesterday. I couldn’t sleep well at all. And when I started to fall asleep I woke up looking to see if I can catch the blood suckers. I’m hoping she was wrong. I have tore up my whole house literally cleaning everything twice. I feel like a leper, how do I visit family without being afraid I’m gonna give it to them. I have a child and baby birds. I’d rather be diagnosed with a disease (a minor disease) that I fight myself, that won’t affect my family. I’m hoping beyond hope she was wrong. But looking for ways to identify and hopefully stop them before it becomes a major problem.

I still don't understand why in most stories about Bed Bugs , no mention is made that Diatomaceous Earth kills them. It is available in the Home Depot Garden Department. It is non toxic to humans. All you have to do is to place it around the feet of your bed and take a new paintbrush and wipe it over the bedframe. In 2 weeks all bed bugs are gone. It sells in a giant bag for about $8. You can put it around all the baseboards in your house or apartment. The only down side is it requires a shop vac to clean it up as the fine powder blocks the filter system of a regular vacum . There is no need to pay an exterminator $1,000's.
It didn't have much of an impact at my last apartment. I used a few quart sized bottles of it, mattress encasements, sprays, hot washing of clothes, and more.
I’ll never forgot going to a friends house and I saw one bit me while he was asleep , it was around 2 oclock so I stayed up till 7 ( sun comes out ) and ran home , took a shower and threw EVERYTHING in the washer, I still haven’t stayed the night at his house in over 4 years
There are now bed bug vaccume cleaners and vaccume cleaner extensions that use UV LIGHT AND VIBRATION. I use them on my furniture and I have been bed bug free ever since. Mine is made by the company " Dirt devil".

We've had good results killing bed bugs using heat. Fire Departments are extremely susceptible to getting bed bugs. We are in a lot of different houses and are busy with other things besides making sure bed bugs don't hitch a ride on us or our gear. And then we go back to the station and, at night, back to bed. We use radiant heater to bring the temperature up to 130 degrees F for a few hours in a sealed up room and the radiant heat warms the " things " in the room to 120 degrees or so, killing the infestation. We have to seal cracks and otherwise prepare the room but it works well. We can use this on our trucks and gear as well ( after all it is designed to be hot ).
Wow I never thought about the exposure from entering people’s houses as a firefighter. I guess one assumes the building is burning but that’s not always the case. That stinks that you have to treat on a regular basis.
I was blessed with them by a relative. I googled how to kill bed bugs with essential oils. I immediately pulled up lavender. I had some lavender spray, by Avon. Imagine that. I immediately sprayed. The next day I found dead bugs on the floor on the other side of my bed. I also steamed my mattress around the outside top. Bed bugs lay eggs and they hatch in 3 days. So, it is daily spraying here. Their lungs cannot handle the lavender. It is too strong. I can attest to that. I have also run the sweeper around the top seam of the bed. I also have diamiticulus earth. I haven't opened the bag yet.
Wounded Guy seriously they tried to Come back around June & the only reason I knew because they was biting My Friend. So I put bleach in a lysol bottle & sprayed My boxspring! Fucking Annoying.
BlackJohnnyCage keep spreading DE everywhere. Put paper plates coated with petroleum jelly under your bed frame legs to catch any that remain. Keep your bed from touching the wall.
A few tips: 1) They're small, about the side of an apple seed, but you can find them if you have them. 2) They're easier to get rid of in a house rather than a multifamily home/apartment. 3) Heat treatment is often the most expensive and doesn't have a residual effect. 4) The larger companies are often the most expensive by a lot (i.e. when he said "thousands"), call a local family owned professional, they're a fraction of the cost and do great work (check their reviews of course). 5) You *can* treat your own home with professional grade products if you don't want to hire an exterminator by purchasing products online... however, please read the label on how much to apply and on where you can apply the product. In my experience, the products you get at hardware stores often times make it worse because it just pushes many of the bedbugs into the walls.
Not all mattress encasements (for bedbugs) are loud crinkly plastic. The ones I got for my mattress and boxsprings (LinenSpa), I can't tell are there at all and are very high quality. I'm surprised he didn't touch on the easiest way to control the little buggers in this day and age - Diatomaceous earth. That + hand steamer + encasements + interceptors(Black Out) = job done quickly. Not a sign of them in 5 months and saved tons vs. pest control. Bonus points for not being a harmful pesticide and can be used around food, pets and children.
How did you keep your uranium plates separated until detonation?!! Hillary gave me this uranium but Im about to run out and she says she cant give any more! Something about the Trump train being all up her ass or something.

Don't bring that gorgeous couch that someone put near the dumpster into your apartment, they threw it away for a reason.
Tell my parents that lol 😂 whenever they see something useful on the streets they always gotta take it
Lol
Delores, I hate people who do that. There is one from Colombia living where I leave. He brought a couch from the street, and I have never put my ass on it. I will never put my ass in a couch that many other people sat on. Who knows who sat there.
we got a new bed from a store. spend 1k. now we got bedbugs for first time ever.
@@linsanity1981.....and it will be hard for you to prove that the bugs came in the bed unless they were sleeping when you got the bed. I think you are telling us a lie.....you have those damn bed bugs before you bought the bed. Are you saying you did not check the bed at the store.....get out.
I had them in my bed when I was a teenager. The way I killed them was I got my iron and just ironed the whole mattress. I also pressed the steam button all over the bed and made sure the steam went into every little crevice in the bed.
This method actually worked and they never bothered me again! :)
That is a WONDERFUL idea dude. I've never had them but if I do..... I'ma so do that. Best idea so far.
Great idea.
Yes! This will work,but you cannot assume you will get all of them.They are very prolific egg layers and you must be diligent in watching for them. They might crawl in from a neighbor's apt.,a bus,school,or ANYWHERE! Everyone must take responsibility to rid the world of these monsters who suck our blood.
Yes im sure some of them migrated to another part of the house you cant iron the whole house
I told you not to bug me when im ironing my bed mom!!!!!
It's a shame that bedbugs weren't made completely extinct back in the 1950's globally.
Agreed. Of all the species that have gone extinct because of humans, bed bugs would've been one I would DEFINITELY be happy to see gone. Would not miss them at all.
I know
Were the fun in that ?
Listen, I know DDT was really bad for a lot of reasons, but HEAR ME OUT, mayybe we could bring it back- *dies of cancer*

I’m gonna build a time machine and go back to when they are almost extent and get the job done
The government stopped the use of D.D.T. that's why we have them again and this time I had them twice 😭😭😭😭 they are nasty little bugs that feed day and night. I only pray they are found to have a cure all for these nasty little things or bring back the D.D.T.

I remember the saying "Good night sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite" when I was a kid and I didn't know what a bed beg was into later in life.
Same
If they do, do a poo, stick it in a cornish stew.
"Sleep tight" is a reference to beds (pallets) that were supported not by box springs (not invented yet), but by rope.
As the rope stretched, one had to take up the slack - aka: tighten.
My mom said that when I was like 4 and my dad called it a “lullaby” XD
Same here
They suck your blood. They share your bed. They like to watch you sleep... still a better love story than Twilight.
Master Therion Agreed.
Then I guess I'll watch Twilight so I don't hate these fuckers so much by comparison.
Master Therion hahahaa
No way. I hate bed bugs and most bugs in general. I'd much rather deal with Twilight. Anyway, why are you even bringing Twilight up in 2016? Lmao
Master Therion loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
One of our local shelters has an interesting way of preventing bedbug re-infestation: a heat room. It is a small room constantly kept at a temperature hot enough to kill bedbugs (and most other creepy crawlies). ANYTHING coming into the building for the first time goes into the heat room for 24 hours. New residents give up their personal belongings for a day, but when they get them back, they are guaranteed bedbug-free.
It’s crazy you’re literally at war in your own home
Breanna Sumner lol yeah
I won my war thanks to Jason Akers over on the Green Akers Pest Control page here on UA-cam! He's the Terminator when it comes to pest control and if you follow his advice, your bed bug days are OVER.
I tourture them for not letting me go to sleep
Agree
It’s a gross feeling thinking something may be feeding on you while you sleep. The life span is what creeps me out the most. What are they, immortal?
Totally had to deal with these things and didn't have the money to call a professional. Months of diligence and careful use of diatomaceous earth, heat, steam, vacuuming, patience, and little sleep. These things are the devil incarnate.
land lord luckily has the responsibility in calling pest control. I don't think Anchor (the exterminator company is that good though) so i'm doing the same stuff. what steam machine did you use?
diatomaceous earth is a myth according to what I have read.
weenisw idk if it works or not but my mom put it on our beds to try to avoid parasites and it kicked up my asthma so horribly I almost died.
I feel you
Trillium: Wild Edibles diatomaceous earth doesn't work. You need to take all carpet out of your home. Get dawn dishwashing soap and tea tree essential oil in a spray and go to war. Worked for me.
So, who else got itchy while and after watching this video?
Duarte Marques I am itchy... I have them aaaaahhhhhh

Duarte Marques me :'(
It's a normal psychogenic response to hearing about parasites, psychogenic experiences spread incredibly fast from mind to mind, so coming back to this thread will make you itchy over and over again
OMG YES, sooo itchy!
Oh my god.
Lying in bed while watching this video makes me uncomfortable.
Sleepy Kitty same

Why? Don't you keep your bed clean?
Oh. I just saw the end of the video. ...fuck.
Sleepy Kitty Same. I'm uncomfortable now. And informed
I heard a pest control expert in MN put some in a jar and left them in truck entire winter. They froze solid. Unfroze in spring and came back to life. Like many parasitic organisms can and do.
There are only two types of people in the world "Those who have bedbugs and those who are going to have them".
Wtf noooooo. I've never had them. I got a rash on my back and I decided to read up on this. I checked my mattress tho and I don't see anything.
You should still check your matress once or twice a month. I would even get a spray to treat your luggage and guests when they come in your home. You can't trust anyone. It doesn't matter if they are a very clean person. These bugs don't discriminate.
Boone Park no..... Never had. Never will.
Its more like.. people who get them and dont care, and people who get them and freak!
HYGIENE PEOPLE..
If ur washing ur house daily as u should, u will spot anything before it becomes an infestation!

Upper middle class neighborhood. Spotless clean house that my friends refer to as the HGTV house. We got them from a relative that stayed over for a holiday, he had stayed at a hotel the night before and picked them up. Because we run a tight ship, we caught it early on, but still spent $6000 in treatment, tossed thousands more in goods straight in the trash. It's been well over a year, and so far so good. My wife has severe PTSD about it and stills gets up in the middle of the night and searches. It can happen to anyone.
Lol
I understand your wife's PTSD. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown over it. That was 6 years ago and I STILL think about them when I'm out and about. We went to the movies the other day and I would not take my purse (or any bag) inside and I used a flashlight to check the seats. I dont ever want to go thru that hell again!!
Do bedbugs bite your face??????? Please answer Asap! Thank you
Mr. Alan , I hate public transportation ! That's where a lot of those demonic bugs thrive
O Simmons yeahhh I had one bite me there before and I mistook it for a pimple.. but then it took the shape similar to a mosquito bite that’s when I knew it was a bed bug
I think I’m just gunna sleep on concrete for the rest of my life. Thanks.
Same
🤣🤣🤣
they'll crawl still.
from bed to concrete where you are.
they have a radar detector for warm blood. 😬
Those things have anything covered and they don't discriminate they accumulate clean, new, nasty or old. Wet or dry. Only thing they can't stand is heat, powered products. Alcohol full blast. Plastic, especially the covering things up with it and the sound. They do not like greasy things. Otherwise they show up anywhere in any nook or crany. The thing is they like to be in the dark and nest under warm humans. Or in carpets the most after they suck your blood. Why are they called BUGS? When they are not. Grandma did say don't let the bedbugs bite because people had micro bugs and boweevels. Those were real bugs like fleas that just accumulated and bite. But Dust mites and ( Bedbugs) are not Bugs they are Parasites. They only exist due to the way they feed off your blood or skin flakes. They are mights. Now real bugs like boweevels and micro bugs and. roaches and fleas. You use pesticide and bug spray. The parasites need that special stuff. Plus it has nothing to do with how dirty you are it just depends on how well they can nest and accumulate. Alcohol 91% usually dry them out. Baking soda and vacuum cleaning. Plastic smuthers them. Dryer sheets it's something about those they just don't like them. With anything you do if they are on you then you will see the bites. They look like pimples and they itch. Which means they are getting your blood. They appear clear when they are born and they only appear to look like bugs after they have sucked your blood and then they go off and hide. Usually they are worst than mice because it you are in bed or sitting on furture and you happen to see one? Most likely behind your unprotected pillow or. bed clothes. Or clothes that you wear and it's doesn't matter how clean you are. These things only purpose is to suck your blood. The worst thing is you could sit somewhere over somebody's house or at a vehicle, theater, hotel. School church any place that has material they can cling to from tiny floor cracks to rugs especially base boards, people own places now and have that problem with them being invested in the walls. Look like brown tears rolling down the wall. This would be places invaded that were not treated and they be ready with somebody elses blood those are the darker ones. They say you can't smash them because they mutante if you do. You can find them in just about any crack or any place in doors or out like that and. somebody has them and you don't, if it's on the furniture or place. Like back in the 1990's they never exist. Nobody ever heard of these things. So lots of people were shocked to get them. They were said to have been brought over from somewhere out of America and people would bring them to hotels and motels and they would accumulate behind base boards and the works. People don't even realize they are being bitten. Still it use to get so terrible because people didn't know how to get rid of them. All of a sudden they started to appear everywhere. It was like they were created in a science lab in secret to bite be attractive to human blood like mosquitos when at first they didn't do that they were known to attack farm animals and stuff like that. One day they took a flock. Train looads of birds and and let them lose because birds carry them too so watchout for that. Yes infact the best way to find them is to get a FLASH LIGHT and do a very close inspection this is how small they are tiny tiny tiny untill they bite you. So check anything tith that light that you occupy. Beds clothed shoes hair. Esx. When you are around. Other people Tell people to check themselves, they could sit on your stuff and poooow you could get them just from on being on them. So before they walk in your house and be careful where you lean or sit. Like on seats or elevators and stuff like that.
If you find yourself in contact with them. The most embarrassing thing yo do is pretend they are not there because that won't make them disappear. The best thing is as soon as you see any. It's Miller time!! Go to war and collect all the heat plastic Alcohol and powder but powder can be too messy and makr your house look dusty. Remember these are parasites not BUGS. I call them Beddy Byes. They are creepy but the creepiest tthing to do is ignore them. Good luck.
Concrete has holes.
Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nopedy-Nope-Nope-Nope.

bed bugs are much much much and much worse than mosquitoes.
Aside from humans, mosquitoes are literally the most deadliest living thing on earth. Food for thought...
Jennifer Webb that mad true😂 it’s low key sad
The man is correct bedbugs are much worse. The problem with mosquitos its the body of water they come from if you raised them in a glass of water no effects bedbugs will bankrupt you. As far as health they sent me to the ER. Are you ready. I had 100 bites in 10 minutes and didn't see one of them so when people spout out the ass try livin
Agreed
Fact
*sees a bed bug crawl across my floor*
Me: *starts fire*
Get that lighter ready honey 😂
I killed a bed bug while watching this vid. I'm not kidding
Alex do you need any help ot more information? You can find it on my site on my YT profile.

*7 things you wish you didn't know about bedbugs*
*one good thing*~
they dont transmit diseases like mosquito do.
I was bitten by bedbugs at a bed and breakfast, and those fuckers are NOT cool.. They are pretty fast for their size, their only active a few minutes at night, it seems like they know when you sleep, and you`ll have to freeze all your clothes and fabrics, -20C or colder, then wash them at 50C or more.
And some eggs might still be ok, and the little bastards can live for month without feeding.
Their bites are like 5 mosquito bites in the same place and if you scratch it it bleeds and leaves a sore.
Got bedbugs?
NUKE YOUR HOUSE!

Jan Christian Frodahl that's how I feel, my friends boyfriend moved in with just clothes but her whole house including the wood furniture got infested, her and her daughter went on steroids because they became ill. I've seen some documentaries too where the family exhausted their savings trying to save their home but bed bugs won and they left it all behind.
I hate the thought of me providing my own sacred beloved blood to some insignificant worthless pest without my consent

spider: helo
bad news.... i'm very nearsighted and when i take a shower i take my glasses off....I was in the shower one morning and thought i was seeing things because i was seeing small dots moving around.... on closer inspection, i wasn't seeing things that weren't there.... There were dozens of babies on the walls of my shower.... i later found out by tracing the fecal trails that they had come into my apartment from my new neighbors, via the space between the wall and the pipe under the sink.... I put 2sided tape on the ceiling walls and floor around the door and I completely eradicated them 2-3 times but they kept appearing in my bathroom... I ended up having to move because the landlord wouldn't do anything to get my neighbor to fix the problem.
I'm thinking like you think.
But I'm at someone else house where I'm visitinggggg😱😭
NO CHEMICALS! USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH EVERYWHERE.
I had bedbugs in college. It was awful. Not only were they all over my mattress, but they got into my bag and would bite me in class. I felt tired and itchy all the time, and oh, that smell! I will never forget the way they smell!
Bed bugs are bad. But incompetent landlords are worse.
*edit* For those of you saying it isn't the landlord's problem: It is, by law, their problem. I took it to court and I won. My complaint is with the fact that I actually had to take it to court. (Which was a long drawn out process) If you're charging some $1200 a month for rent it's expected you can save some money for an emergency. If not, you're just a slumlord looking to make a quick easy buck.
Bulkbs it's not always the landlords fault when the tenant gets bedbugs.
That is where misplaced blame gets support from judges who are also realtors.
These people complaining about the landlords are just "blowin in the wind" There is no point blaming anyone! You can get them in a cab,on a bus,in a hotel,a casino,or ANY place. Do not even try to move,blame someone else,or spray some worthless bug killer. IT WILL NOT WORK! It takes research on all the methods,diligence,and time.... I know! Get busy!
How's that the landlords fault? Incompetent tenants who are lacking on cleanliness & hygiene infesting rental properties with bed bugs are worse.
@@elizabethkelley5260 I've even seen a news story that said movie theaters & furniture stores had bed bug infestations.

*Trying to sleep
Fun fact. I did landscaping and gardening for a while, and we use this fungus to kill aphids, called Beaura Bassiana (I don’t know how to spell it exactly) and it would infect and kill aphids. Well, I had a bed bug problem a few months ago and did some research, turns out it can be used to kill bed bugs. So, one night I captured about 3-4 bed bugs and I created a small mixture of the fungus in a jar and exposed the bugs to them, then I let the bugs back into my room.
3 weeks later and not a single bite.
Just a little advice, to anyone having problems
(The spores germinate in the bugs as quick as 24 hours, but it can take a while to rid an infestation but I’ve helped my friends out too and the spores have never failed me)
Can you mail me a spore print please
Daaaaaaannnng i love thiiis, did you also continue to sleep in the same place or did you move out and let nature run its course to their nest?
Question: You "made a small mixture of the fungus." Do you know the proportions of fungus to water that you used? I ordered a small quantity of this stuff but it came with no mixing directions.
@Ryuuma Springfield I was wondering this same thing 😬
Yes the fungus will kill them and they are gone forever... I had them and found the right exterminator that used it and its been 3 yrs and counting & not a one !!
4 years since I had bedbugs and the PTSD. Still stands. I can't sleep normally without looking all over my bed at the slightest weird feeling on my skin.
I experience similar symptoms. No one ever talks about the psychological damage they can do in addition to the financial and bodily harm. I still have scars from the bites that blistered on my arms and legs.
Rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. The rubbing alcohol kills them on contact. You're welcome.
Damian Thompson thank you so much dude.... They haven't bothered me since, came back to thank ya
Another thing that works... hitting them with a shoe... Being sarcastic a bit lol but point is alcohol only kills on contact. the ones you see are the tip of the iceberg the real army is in hiding waiting for you to doze off to feast once again
Damian Thompson it doesn’t work it drys there shell and they spasm for a couple mins then they run it’s like using a taser on a person it stuns for a second...
Okay here’s the fix.
Clean up any clutter in your house
Don’t take anything outside to sit it will just spread the bedbugs to neighbors and keep them coming back to you
Wash all of your clothes, covers, and curtains and dry them with the hottest setting for 45 minutes. When they’re done bag them up in a trash bag and seal it with a rubber band or better yet get some air tight bags to seal your stuff in. Keep one of the bags for clothes you will be using.
Buy bed bug spray that kills them on contact. Spray your bed and any other place like under cushions of couches and the bottom of your bed and box spring.
Bag up your dishes and utensils and food in the cabinets. Open all of the cabinets and doors in your home
Buy bed bug bombs and put them all through your house. Use as directed you’ll usually have to leave for several hours
Buy diatomaceous earth and put it around the base of your walls and in backs and in shoes and everywhere that you couldn’t spray. Put it under your bed and in between your box spring and bed. Make sure it’s food grade diatomaceous earth
Put your pillow cases and beds in a covering that is bed bug proof.
Keep everything that’s bagged, bagged, and repeat the process after two weeks (with the exclusion of washing your clothes since they are already protected in an air tight bag
I think you can buy a steamer from Lowe’s for $45 to apply heat to places like your bed. To kill them.
You should do all of these steps. Don’t invite anyone over during this time. Don’t give anything of yours to anyone. You should probably put diatomaceous earth in your car as well
And also make sure to burn everything that you can/are willing to give up no reason in keeping stuff you don’t use it just provides hiding spots and protection from chemicals and stuff for the bugs
Invited a friend to live with us when she got kicked out of her apartment. Found out a few weeks later she had bedbugs, brought them right into the house. Absolute nightmare to deal with. Eventually we moved out of that house and managed to kill all the bugs in our stuff before we got to the new place. I wouldn't wish bedbugs on anyone, its a major pain to deal with and their numbers quickly become uncontrollable.
No good deed goes unpunished.🤣
Bed bugs should go extinct

Patrick Matheson I had to use DE when what I thought was just a bad case of fleas for my two dogs turned into an outright infestation. Thankfully, it was mainly contained to my room, where they slept, but it was a harsh battle. I had to pull everything out of the closet and sprinkle powder there too (I'm grateful I kept most of my things in sealed plastic totes). The house was old and had wooden floors that weren't varnished it anything so there were more cracks for them to hide in.
I covered the entire floor for up to a week at a time and would vacuum at the end of the week and repeat the process. At night, I'd place a lamp on the floor with a shallow dish of soapy water (The soap helped to ensure they couldn't jump back out and the fleas were attracted to the light; I'm saying that more for anyone else's benefit since you already seem pretty knowledgeable about these pests, lol). That worked quite well and I'd wake up with a hundred or so fleas in the water. However...we realized we weren't able to keep the puppies and gave them to our shelter, sadly, but it allowed us to focus more on the cleanup.
In the end, I'm not sure if it worked completely. We moved about two months into the process. I was terrified they'd follow us to our new home but surprisingly, they didn't. We didn't clean the DE off the floor when we left and this was during the winter time. They don't like the cold and can only go a few weeks without food, I think. Considering in my experience, many places aren't immediately cleaned by the landlord, the place should be free of pests for the next person that lives there. The DE can easily be vacuumed and mopped up.
Anywho, I too was wondering why he hadn't mentioned using this stuff in the video.
RICH!
I had them. Worst experience ever! I got rid of them by sleeping on my stripped mattress with double sided tape all around it. I'd wake up and they were stuck to the tape. Did this for 2 weeks straight and they were all gone. I slept with no sheets or anything though. Not the best experience.
Kirsten Flake the absolute worst experience ever
Kirsten Flake great idea thanks
Thank you for the idea!

They have to be in high heat for a minimum of 60-90 minutes, or alternatively, for things you can’t heat, seal them in a bag and put the items in the freezer for 2-4 days.
Here's some advice: look at your bed, more specifically your bedframe. If it's made of wood, they seem to prefer that, and hang out mostly in the cracks and crevices of the wood. You'll see blackish little spots, almost like black paint splatter/spotting. That's their feces. If you have a metal/black bedframe, it will be very difficult to even see that, so look at any wall outlets near the bed or even in the corners of the wall and ceiling.. More than likely you'll never see them, unless the infestation is really bad or you agitate their hiding spots with pesticides or moving stuff around.. They typically don't live on the mattress and THEY DON'T attach themselves to you. They will, however, hide in clothes, dressers, mattress seams, pillows, or even shoes if that provides meaningful protection from you during the day.
I'm facing flood levels of infestation
Sprinkle baking soda everywhere.
Do it often. The crystals are actually quite sharp to a bed bug. It's also dehydrating if they come into contact with it and don't get cut. And when I say cut it gets into their exoskeleton joints and jacks em up. Sprinkle the stuff everywhere. Sweep or vacuum and reapply.
Thanks for the tips
@@krissifadwa the absolute best way is to get the room to about 130 - 140° F for about 8 to 12 hours. It’ll kill all hatched and unhatched bugs and your problem will be OVER!!! Bed bugs die over 115°. Keeping the room(s) at 140° for at least 8 hours will ensure it gets hot enough in every crevice and hiding spot they take refuge in killing your infestation. You might be able to rent a heater that can keep and maintain a room that hot. If not… get a steamer (they look like a big tea kettle that blasts out steam) and just steam the hell out of EVERYTHING!
Paper spontaneously catches on fire at about 480⁰F. You might want to check what other flammable things that burn or might melt but maintaining a room at 140⁰ isn't terribly dangerous.

You just HAD to throw that last part in, didn't you. I'm going to have so much trouble sleeping tonight...
Daracaex so you don't notice IF they're there; and even if they are they're not carrying sny diseases; you don't get itchy, you don't have bitemarks. For all you know, they're not there, even if they ARE there. ...So what does it matter if you have them or not?
+Daracex That's a pretty selfish outlook. These little bastards can hide in your clothes meaning you end up carrying them to another persons house and they get infested. Even inf you don't, most people will react to bed bugs, some people are even allergic to their bites, I'm talking full blown anaphylaxis in their sleep. The bigger the infestation the bigger the risk of you spreading them around, the longer you leave them the more they breed and spread through your home; every crack, nook, and cranny. If you live in a rental property like an apartment, kiss your deposit good bye, maybe even pay some penalties, because you failed to report them. If you live in a house and are ever looking to sell, enjoy spending thousands of dollars on extermination because no one is going to buy until they're gone. So if you do notice them do something about it, and do so early.
Daracaex ikr i feel like they where going into my mouth and out without me feeling it :( its so disgusting i dont have them but ughh , by the way you can get your bed warm all the time so they hate it and dont go in it the first place if you haven't seen them but scared of them ..

Use food grade diatomaceous earth or baking soda under furniture and rugs, in doorways and closed window sills, in the nooks and crannies, in closets, cabinets, car, shed. Leave for a week. Vacuum with a shop vac. Do it every month for at least three months of every year.
A couple of years ago I had a run in with bed bugs... it was terrible. My boyfriend at the time had a daughter and she had one of her friends over for a sleep over. Her friend brought over her pillow and blankets and spent the weekend with us and as she was gathering her things at the end of the weekend she nonchalantly said that her family had bed bugs. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time and chalked it up to "things kids say", but after about two weeks I started getting these strange welts all over my arms and legs and waking up feeling things crawling on me. My boyfriend thought I was losing it until one night I couldn't take it anymore and started ripping the sheets off the bed and pulling the mattress off the frame like a mad person... Low and behold I found the little monsters wedged in the seams of our sheets, pillowcases, mattress, and the wood bed frame. We tried everything to get rid of them but to no avail, finally out of desperation I bought this stuff call Vets Plus Flea and Tick spray made out of peppermint and clove oil after talking with my father and he had told me about an old timey trick of using peppermint oil to get rid of bed bugs. The Vets Plus did the trick. After about 2 weeks of spraying everything down every 2 days we eradicated them from our home.

I know it seems like bed bugs aren't that harmful, but let me tell you a story. A long time ago when I was around 5 or 6, me and my family went to stay at a shabby hotel for some reason or another, and me and my sister had a separate room. Our mom tucked us into bed, we left the lights on bc we were small and scared of the dark, and we started to go off to sleep. All was well. Until the sheets started moving. I opened my eyes and there were millions, MILLIONS of bugs crawling all over us, the bedsheets, the walls, the floors, literally everywhere. I don't think I screamed that much in my life. We were both standing on top of the dressers on the other side of the room by the time our mom and grandparents burst in. It was a nightmare. Pretty sure my sister's legs were bitten all the way up to her thighs. TRUST ME. You want to get rid of bed bugs.
I guess Planet Earth feels the same way about us. Horrible.
I'm seriously never sleeping in a hotel or anywhere again and I'm burning my house
Horrible mate

I learned the hard way that I have a TERRIBLE reaction to bedbug bites. One broke the skin and pushed bacteria into my system and I contracted a bacterial infection that made its way into my bloodstream. The bugs cannot make you sick themselves, but if you have bacteria on you, which we ALL do ALL the time (even after a shower), their bites may lead to something worse. #TheMoreYouKnow

How do you get the stain from their feces out?
No one ever talks about the psychological damage they can do. If you do find you have them, it will be ok. Don’t skimp on treatment, call a professional and make sure they identify and eliminate them entirely. It’s not your fault if you get them, it could happen to literally anyone. And you’re not unclean or disgusting if they infest your home, they could have come from literally anywhere. If you’re dealing with the psychological fallout of an infestation, seek out a counselor to work though it. Speaking from personal experience.
I had a bad bed bug infestation a few years ago, any time we sat on our couch, 10 minutes later, they would come out and bite the shit out of our legs. After a little online researching, I found out that rubbing alcohol kills bed bugs. So I went to the store, bought 6 bottles of rubbing alcohol and spread that shit all over the living room. Few hours later and all the bed bugs died. We even kept the couch up until a few days ago because it's falling apart.
FIVE YEARS AGO and I still have PTSD. Not exaggerating. My info said only about 10% of the population is immune to their bites. I am not part of that 10%. For 6 months I thought I was allergic to the bed or the detergent or the blanket or the stuffing or even my bf. My bf and his mom said it was all In my head and hives are a mental induced reaction so I was "crazy". I have no problem with blood or guts. I avoid drama if possible. I rarely cry. But after this experience, I freak when I see fuzz cuz it might be one. I cried this summer when I first saw a tick because I thought it might be one and it was on me. If I get a mosquito bite, I can't sleep and check myself daily for three weeks to be sure it wasn't a bed bug. If I have a hive I frantically try to prove to myself what the allergen was so I can tell myself it wasn't one of them. The thing was on my bed and came RUNNING AT ME a hell of a lot faster than you reported they can move! You also didn't mention that their eggs are about the same size and appearance of common table salt. I went over everything in my home with baby wipes and alcohol spray, heat AND diatomaceous earth-which I applied using a 1/2" paintbrush to every nook,cranny, groove and crack those flat little f@ckers hide in as well as along all of the baseboards where rugs meet walls. I did that in addition to the exterminator and the bug-proof bed protectors. I had not only every single inch of everything I own to clean to ensure they never returned, but also four kids and all their toys and my lazy bf's stuff too. Every spine of my 500+ library of books had to be inspected and shot with alcohol and covers wiped. Every video case had to be wiped down inside and outside. Anything electric had to be sprayed and bagged. Every stitch of clothing for a family of six, including anything packed away, had to be washed and dried and bagged to prevent reinfestation. Paper products had to be inspected because they hide there. I threw out about 5 grand worth of electronics because they had casings in there and I couldn't get them apart enough to get them clean enough to ensure they were disinfected. The list is so ridiculous. To this day, the clothes in my bureaus are still in plastic bags "just in case". I cried when I got home from my job at a hotel because they reportedly had them there, not where I was, just there in the same building. I sprayed myself with alcohol, including bottom of my shoes, to make sure I didn't bring any home with me. I am so thankful I no longer work there, it is truly a relief mentally. My bf's uncle moved 6 states away because he had gotten them (10 years earlier and before we met) and couldn't get them out of his house even after numerous treatments. This is not a normal bug. These things are hell on earth. I thought the things I read on line were written by overly dramatic super sensitive people until it happened to me. Like an extreme germs phobic person would, I dread all the things I used to love: flea markets, movie theaters, going anywhere-even to other people's homes, because these bugs could be anywhere and that's how people usually get them, from these places.
A M Brown Oh my god same. People will never understand what it's like to go through this until they go through it. They act like you're just crazy. It definitely changed me... in the worst way possible. People get annoyed with how obsessed I was talking about bed bugs. They don't get how it was waking up to millions of terrible red huge bites and blood stains In the middle of the night. I had to throw 16 full bags away of perfectly good things because I simply didn't have the time nor the energy to search and clean everything before my spray. For me as well trying to go to the places I used to love I don't anymore. Haven't seen a movie in months . Simply because I don't trust anything anymore... People are careless and don't care about spreading them which makes me mad. It changed my life for the worst. I completely understand .
It’s been two years since I got them from a neighbor next door at my first apartment I got with my husband. I found one on my foot when I was watching my new born daughter sleep on the bed. It was horrible I ended up with horrible postpartum depression and quit my job. I ended my lease and left everything we had in our room. Her baby clothes, bags, shoes, dresser, bed, and electronics. We had to sleep in the living room for two weeks and it was hell. Finally my mom stepped in and told us to move in with her. All our other things were sprayed and steamed by a exterminator and put into storage. I haven’t been able to move out my moms house for fear of going through that experience again. I never want anymore children because my first experience was horrible always checking myself and the room with a flashlight. Instead of enjoying my baby when she was tiny. They ruined my life. I also only go to drive in theaters because of fear.

I completely understand the fear of bed bugs, me and my kids went through the same hell in 2013, I did my research on them and we left everything behind, clothes, toys, furniture and left, to this day I cringe when I hear people talk about them, that was the worst experience of our lives, the place I'm renting now had them in it last year with previous renters and I'm scared to death that the bugs are going to come back, I never want to go through that again!!! 🙁
I had to take Benadryl at night to control the swelling
We had bedbugs and we got rid of them with diatomaceous earth. We covered the mattress with a painters brush, on the edges, and box spring. Then we put a fitted sheet on so we weren't sleeping on powder. We also put diatomaceous and the edges of the walls. With in a week 1/2 they were gone. I keep a bag of that stuff in my pantry just in case they come back.
I have sensitive skin and when I had them, it seemed like I was the only one getting bit. I didn't sleep well for a while.
I'm going through that right now 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Well I am going to clean my room and never go to sleep now.
And I thought I only had to worry about spiders going in my ears. GREAT.
dont forget about ring worms and Toxoplasma gondii if you have cats. Oh and ticks and fleas of course.
sugibudder Yeah my cats and dog sleep in my bed so flees are a worry but I get used to it...Unless it feels like something is in my ear.
Well none of what i mentioned go in your ear...
one goes up your butt and another in your brain while another spreads all kinds of nasty diseases.
sleep tight.

NO CHEMICALS! USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH EVERYWHERE.
I had them and it was absolutely horrifying! I still have problems sleeping and I no longer wear gowns to sleep in. I wear long pajamas and socks. I was highly allergic to them and I was treated for bites 3 times last summer. I am way more cautious about people in my house and I watch what I bring home. I kept my alcohol bottle with me for months. It gave me a weird sense of security. Thank God they are gone!
It scared the frick out of me when he said they might live in your leg...
Bradley Bruno Analeah love: a prosthetic leg
Gonna remove my legs and replace them in a prosthetic leg instead
NO CHEMICALS! USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH.
Bed bugs are the worst pest. I lived with them for about two years at my parents house. I had always heard the "don't let the bed bugs bite" thing and never really acknowledged them as being a real thing. I remember waking up with mosquito-like bites each night confused about what was going on. Then I started wondering if we had fleas or if I had an allergy to something. Then I discovered one of the bugs and searched the internet and discovered what was going on. I was sorta oblivious to the infestation because I mainly was in my own room most of the time. Then one day I ventured into the living room and saw them absolutely fucking everywhere. Behind picture frames, all over every piece of furniture it was a god damn nightmare. I took a bunch of measures to isolate my room from them, but it's hard to stop them all. I did manage to get only bit once or twice a week and when I did I would wake up and immediately search between my mattress and box springs near creases and find a fat ass bug. I'd kill it and my own blood would splatter out of it. I moved out of there almost ten years ago and went to great measures to stop from bringing them with me. I washed and dried every piece of clothing on high heat, inspected every possession thoroughly and didn't bring my bed or any furnishings with me. I still get freaked out if I see any sort of oval brown looking shape. The worst thing is that if you have bedbugs, nobody wants to come to your house and they don't want you to visit their house either. Because they can travel with you in your shoes, clothes, purse or other things depending on how careful you are. After washing and drying my clothes I would put them in trash bags and tie it shut so nothing could enter.
NO CHEMICALS! USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH AND SPRINKLE/DUST EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE WITH IT. DON'T SIT ON PUBLIC CHAIRS, HAVE VISITORS WHO YOU THINK MIGHT HAVE THEM, FREQUENT DIRTY PLACES. WASH ALL YOUR CLOTHES IN HOT WATER, DRY 20 MINUTES ON HIGH IN DRYER. TAKE A SHOWER AND PUT FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH ON TOP OF DIRTY CLOTHES. EVERY HOLE, NOOK, CRANNY, CREVICE BLOW FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH IN THERE. DON'T BREATHE IT IN. DO THIS ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE. SPREAD THE WORD!
what are the signs of having bed bugs? that would be a fucking useful thing to know now wouldn't it!
AfonsodelCB Tiny hood-like stains on bedding. small, red itchy bumps in series of threes.
*blood-like
April St. Thomas yeah that hood-like was confusing me :P thanks!
AfonsodelCB black dots around electronics, or on your mattress,
AfonsodelCB random black dots on blankets & stuff around places you sleep. Those are pheromone trails. That's how they get back, its left in a previous feeding spot so they can come back & feed again. They leave them right after they eat.
Also, look for little brown-black things scurrying accross things. They are tiny but fast.

I’m so obsessed with bed bugs that I’m actually going to try to find solution to wipe them out! I got very sharp to their bite and my sense to their bite is very strong and I tend to wake up instantly to the bite! I just wake up and start killing them and soaking bed covers in hot water! So basically you need to put up fight to wipe them.
Look up the CO2 and Diatomaceous Earth trap. It works.
I never feel them bite. And I know they are near my bed but I can't find them! I've gotten rid of them about three times over the past several years but this time it's not working. I wonder are they getting immune to the Hot Shot bed bug killer I've been using.
MonaVN I wouldn’t use poison. See the other comment I left you. 😊
This is how to get rid of them without using toxic chemicals or paying a boatload for pest control, Make sure you follow the instructions. You will be glad you did:
Vacuum everything (including between mattresses, every day until they are gone, and then once a week after that. Wash clothes and sheets in lavender pine sol. And the thing that will actually get rid of them is to use food grade diatomacious earth (DE) - it is sold in 15 pound bags at Tractor Supply for about 15 bucks - get food grade, which, by the way, do *not* eat - and a wall-duster (it is like a small tool that blows the DE in a fine powder, costs about 15 bucks also. If you just chunk it around, the bugs walk around it, and it won't kill them, so you sprinkle it in a fine dust using the duster tool). Instructions below.
If you have pets, I don't know what breathing it in will do to them, but, when I have used it, I dust it around before I am ready to leave the house for a few hours, and I stay away so it can settle. I have not had any breathing issues with this, but if anyone in the house has asthma or COPD or anything like that, I would only do it when they are gone for the whole day, and maybe not even then because I don't know how it might affect them. It basically makes the whole house a bit dusty for a few hours.
Anyway, you take off your electric plates (off the walls and light switch plates) and use the duster to blow it into the walls, and also between your mattresses, under the bed, and around all the edges of all the walls in the entire house. Re-dust just like this once a week for a few weeks, then once a month, even after you don't see any more bugs. It also kills roaches and spiders. If it gets in a clump on the carpet, do *not* rub it in or swipe it up, you will make a stain - just vacuum it up.
MJ SpeakLife Very good info! And as with anything involved in getting rid of these horrible things: a ton of work, but well worth it to be free of them at last!👍🏻

Bed bugs dont only stay in beds, there are plenty of bed bugs in my chair, desk and even backpack.
Use food grade diatomaceous earth or baking soda under furniture and rugs, in the nooks and crannies, under your bedsheets, in closets, cabinets, car, shed. Leave for a week. Vacuum with a shop vac. Do it every month for at least three months of every year. Every month is better.
Hm, vampires in bug form...
RustyTube was thinking that too
Wrong my friend day are Satan's Children on this Earth this little spawns of hell
Oooh, *OOOOOHHH* I GOT AN IDEA! We dip our beds in Mercury!
it is pretty and shiny
Glorval MacGlorvas We have to get to Mars first
USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH OR BAKING SODA EVERYWHERE ON A REGULAR BASIS, ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. IT KILLS ALL CRAWLING BUGS. DON'T BREATHE IT IN. VACUUM UP WITH A SHOP VAC!
@@maecarpenter6735 Why are you necro posting on a barely upvoted five year old comment on an eight year old video
Diatomaceous Earth, something that could be found at any plant store, can kill the bugs easy. Find some and spread them in the area you know holds them. The earth becomes a barrier where you spread it.
how about empty out a few containers into a pressure sprayer and cover the whole room?
It's the only thing that works, and it's like $10 and non-toxic. That stuff saved me from burning down my house.
@@RagingInsomniac I used an empty baby powder bottle.
DON'T BREATHE IT IN!
@@maecarpenter6735yes it’s bad to breath it. Careful when sitting down on furniture etc because it will puff into the air but I hear it works

DDT also caused shell thinning in various bird species including Bald Eagles. It nearly drove Peregrine Falcons and Brown Pelicans to extinction. DDT is no joke.
Ya know, I could've gone without knowing the last fact actually.
This has been the most entertaining video about bedbugs. I haven’t seen them in person yet, but my dermatologist said that she suspects my bites to be bedbug bites. After hearing that yesterday. I couldn’t sleep well at all. And when I started to fall asleep I woke up looking to see if I can catch the blood suckers. I’m hoping she was wrong. I have tore up my whole house literally cleaning everything twice. I feel like a leper, how do I visit family without being afraid I’m gonna give it to them. I have a child and baby birds. I’d rather be diagnosed with a disease (a minor disease) that I fight myself, that won’t affect my family. I’m hoping beyond hope she was wrong. But looking for ways to identify and hopefully stop them before it becomes a major problem.

I still don't understand why in most stories about Bed Bugs , no mention is made that Diatomaceous Earth kills them. It is available in the Home Depot Garden Department. It is non toxic to humans. All you have to do is to place it around the feet of your bed and take a new paintbrush and wipe it over the bedframe. In 2 weeks all bed bugs are gone. It sells in a giant bag for about $8. You can put it around all the baseboards in your house or apartment. The only down side is it requires a shop vac to clean it up as the fine powder blocks the filter system of a regular vacum . There is no need to pay an exterminator $1,000's.
THIS a million times!!!!
It didn't have much of an impact at my last apartment. I used a few quart sized bottles of it, mattress encasements, sprays, hot washing of clothes, and more.
I’ll never forgot going to a friends house and I saw one bit me while he was asleep , it was around 2 oclock so I stayed up till 7 ( sun comes out ) and ran home , took a shower and threw EVERYTHING in the washer, I still haven’t stayed the night at his house in over 4 years
I'm going through the motions as we speak, thank you.
Theres a cleaner/disinfectant at Walmart called Odoban..it works and they hate it.
Right.....
Were can i find it at Wal-Mart i meam what department
Brenda in the same section as the febreze
There are now bed bug vaccume cleaners and vaccume cleaner extensions that use UV LIGHT AND VIBRATION.
I use them on my furniture and I have been bed bug free ever since. Mine is made by the company " Dirt devil".

We've had good results killing bed bugs using heat. Fire Departments are extremely susceptible to getting bed bugs. We are in a lot of different houses and are busy with other things besides making sure bed bugs don't hitch a ride on us or our gear. And then we go back to the station and, at night, back to bed. We use radiant heater to bring the temperature up to 130 degrees F for a few hours in a sealed up room and the radiant heat warms the " things " in the room to 120 degrees or so, killing the infestation. We have to seal cracks and otherwise prepare the room but it works well. We can use this on our trucks and gear as well ( after all it is designed to be hot ).
Recke
Wow I never thought about the exposure from entering people’s houses as a firefighter. I guess one assumes the building is burning but that’s not always the case. That stinks that you have to treat on a regular basis.
So the Fire dep- can come and heat the house
I was blessed with them by a relative. I googled how to kill bed bugs with essential oils. I immediately pulled up lavender. I had some lavender spray, by Avon. Imagine that. I immediately sprayed. The next day I found dead bugs on the floor on the other side of my bed. I also steamed my mattress around the outside top. Bed bugs lay eggs and they hatch in 3 days. So, it is daily spraying here. Their lungs cannot handle the lavender. It is too strong. I can attest to that. I have also run the sweeper around the top seam of the bed. I also have diamiticulus earth. I haven't opened the bag yet.
Thanks so much ❤
I was renting a room in a house that had them very bad! Woke up with bites every morning. Needles to say, I didn't stay there very long!
I had a battle with bed bugs earlier this year.... I think I won the war.
BlackJohnnyCage 6 months later ..... "Bed War 2" the uprising of the bed bugs super power
Wounded Guy seriously they tried to Come back around June & the only reason I knew because they was biting My Friend. So I put bleach in a lysol bottle & sprayed My boxspring! Fucking Annoying.
BlackJohnnyCage I just took mine out in the yard poured gas around it in a complete circle then on top of it and lit it up.
Michael at KY Oh shit!! 😂
BlackJohnnyCage keep spreading DE everywhere. Put paper plates coated with petroleum jelly under your bed frame legs to catch any that remain. Keep your bed from touching the wall.
Had a crazy infestation last winter and was absolute hell but there’s 2 solutions; Eucalyptus oil spray and a steam mop!
A few tips:
1) They're small, about the side of an apple seed, but you can find them if you have them.
2) They're easier to get rid of in a house rather than a multifamily home/apartment.
3) Heat treatment is often the most expensive and doesn't have a residual effect.
4) The larger companies are often the most expensive by a lot (i.e. when he said "thousands"), call a local family owned professional, they're a fraction of the cost and do great work (check their reviews of course).
5) You *can* treat your own home with professional grade products if you don't want to hire an exterminator by purchasing products online... however, please read the label on how much to apply and on where you can apply the product. In my experience, the products you get at hardware stores often times make it worse because it just pushes many of the bedbugs into the walls.
There great gifts for your in-laws🤭
Not all mattress encasements (for bedbugs) are loud crinkly plastic. The ones I got for my mattress and boxsprings (LinenSpa), I can't tell are there at all and are very high quality. I'm surprised he didn't touch on the easiest way to control the little buggers in this day and age - Diatomaceous earth. That + hand steamer + encasements + interceptors(Black Out) = job done quickly. Not a sign of them in 5 months and saved tons vs. pest control. Bonus points for not being a harmful pesticide and can be used around food, pets and children.
Instructions unclear, I set off a nuclear bomb to get rid of bed bugs
You mean instructions very clear
How did you keep your uranium plates separated until detonation?!! Hillary gave me this uranium but Im about to run out and she says she cant give any more! Something about the Trump train being all up her ass or something.
