With tears in my eyes I’ve been dealing with this for a year buying treatments I came across your channel ordered crossfire and I’m feeling less and less of them I wish I had came across sooner I threw out mattress dresser everything thank you you are a blessing
mr akers sir, youre doing very good work out here posting these youtube videos. :) i applaud you for doing what most exterminators won't; offer an at home DIY solution. and we know that job security is important for everyone, even exterminators, but for those of us who were not lucky enough in life to come into a large sum of money, or have a good job, in order to be able to work an exterminator into the budget, you are coming here and doing the WORK, the advice, the help- basically for free! and on your own time between jobs. that is amazing. i know it doesnt mean much to have a random stranger say they are proud of you, but i'm very proud of you and very thankful. you're a good man, mr. akers. rock on. 🤘
Bought a box spring encasement . Watched your videos. Treated 3 times with cross fire and a follow up with bedlam. Fingers crossed I’ve not noticed bed bug activity for 3 weeks . Thank you for your guidance
Omg thank you. I have hopes that is not bed bugs. I have been itching a lot. Seems to be like I’m getting bitten but have not seen any bugs, or really nothing noticeable of bites similar to the ones on your video. I was about to call a professional. I work in a school and exposed to bedbugs. I don’t want it to get out of control with infestation.
After we got your spray and treated all three houses I owned no more bugs. After they were gone we still felt itchy. We got 91 percent alcohol and put it in spray bottles. We used it a couple of times and no more problems. Your product is awesome.
was bitten by chiggers when enjoying the outdoors in Spain. The bites just didn't match with bedbugs, but it hurts mercilessly especially when you have more than a dozen bites. I flew back to scandinavia where it was thirty degrees colder, when walking into a heated surrounding the pain almost made me faint. I didn't sense until after returning, and you will see these weird clusters of tiny punctured blips. Apparently they are able to get slightly under your trouser legs as well.
I would like to know about more bugs that can bite you. When you're sleeping, my granddaughter has been getting bit when she's at my house. But I am not don't understand
You saying that people show you their bites as an exterminator reminds me of when people find out their friend is a nurse and start showing them all their ailments
Oh yes I even had an elderly woman give me her underwear once and swear she had mites in them…I told her that that’s for a doctor to determine not me lol
@@GreenAkersPCJason when I read about the submarine crew tormented for well over a year or years, I thought you had been the one to finally prove all those wrong that told the crew, they were imagining it. That there was NO WAY there were bedbugs, on that submarine. And so it went on. Finally someone decided to put down d dust in locations. Well the trail went from sleeping quarters into an air ventilation shaft. There were in fact bedbugs, and traumatized sailors living under the surface of the ocean getting bit. Finally someone had believed, them. Then there are elders and younger with cataracts and other eye afflictions that may not be able to find them. Then there are homes that could be unfinished due to circumstances out of the owner’s control. Or maybe even ventilation in homes. How about when the black grease is found on a box spring or slat of a bed, the person/persons are bitten, but can’t find the nest? What other kind of blood sucker could do that? Are fleas that elusive?
This video explains that you need somewhat of a sign like fecal matter or casings or some sign that bed bugs are there. In that sub there were signs of bed bugs
@@GreenAkersPCi have gotten bit twice, on my lower back, in a triangle but just two. they were red, blister looking, and had a blood dot in the center of both; is this common with bedbugs
I keep getting one bite the size of a dime on my arm just above the elbow so I insist on going to bed with long sleeves .. Jason what is biting me ?I don’t have pets .. trees .. open windows or grass I don’t garden .. the “ bite “appears about 4:00 a m and bites under the shirt .. the last time 1.5 months apart ..I take a picture each time so that I can time the duration since last bite also document to show a dermatologist..😢 Sometimes I’ll get one bite on my chest ..or behind my ear I don’t see any signs of BB This is so perplexing I use Neem oil on my arms religiously to deter them The last time I got bit I didn’t have on the Neem I thought I was cured The Neem oil for me is a must But it doesn’t kill then Sprayed with Alpine Wsg granules about 30 days ago This is exhausting !
I bought some cowboy boots one time that broke my ankles out. The cows were lying in a poison ivy field and gotten absorbed in the hydes, or someone tried them on that had psoriasis.
Jason, do you mix any kind of IGR with your crossfire? I think gentrol might be one of the only ones labeled for bedbugs but just curious if you have used it for bed bug applications. Thanks for everything you do brother! Great info
How likely would bed bugs crawl under the clothes? I found bites on my thigh despite wearing long pants with elastics at the ankles. I have other exposed skin that bugs can feed on but nothing there. I have found no bugs, no casing, no blood spot, no eggs whatsoever, and believe me, I turned over the furniture and used interceptors...
This is me except I've never gone more than a month without getting bedbug bites since we found our infestation (and found about 100 bedbugs)... and I'm getting tiny blood spots on my bed and I think I might be finding casings... but can not find bedbugs ANYWHERE
I have been dealing with bites and rashes for 4 1/2 years. I had companies come and inspect and they refuse to do the treatment because they can not see signs, but i know 100% i have bed bugs, i know it. is it possible never see one in so long? but the rashes are there and the bites?
Not fully true, everything depends on situation. I had bed bugs and on the beginning I had singular bites e.g on my foot - one single bite, but very very itchy and painful. After few days one single bite on finger - very red, swollen painful mark. Then after a week I noticed 6 bites on my leg and I was 200% sure what I am dealing with. Another thing for me, bite marks lasted over 2 weeks, even if they stopped itching they were still very visible for long time. Don't waste time and order professionals.
in my case its jus tstarting winter and I am still finding some adults but more little ones plus apparently a few people in this building have them so I think they are coming up the walls and older atr heat pipe heating systems and also I found one at the entrance of my door the other day I have a 1" gap[ under my door to the apartment hall way so I think that maybe some people are mistaking BBs but some also are not
Had to stop wearing sweat pants to bed, becaue something kept crawling up sweats and biting me. I can feel it when they bite, painful, and theres never anything there. i can feel them crawling on me though. i will get bit on the couch with light on and still dont see whats biting me. just very tiny hardly noticeable red bumps. i woulnt care exept bites are painfull when they happen, when i rub biten area pain completely disappears like i was never bitten. cant put a blanket over me on couch, they always find a way under to bite. Any thoughts from an expert would be appreciated.
Jason i have a crazy fear of bedbugs. Whenever something bites me multiple times and i cant explain it i freak out. I woke up yesterday and later in the day i noticed i had 8 bites. Most stretched across my back, 2 on my hip, and one on my neck. Im hoping a flea got caught in my shirt or something, they itch like crazy. No blood spots in bed. Do you typivally always find blood spots? Or not always?
Hey all I have right now is alpine wsg so I need to do it every two weeks for bed bugs or once a week don't have crossfire right now😢 3 times in row in one stop its bed bugs they bite in 3's These bites are thighs Upper leg
Not always, it depends. If you move around a lot in your sleep like me, the bites will be scattered, and sometimes they hit a good spot for blood snd don't need a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th bite.
Hey this isn’t related to bed bugs, but do you ever mix Alpine wsg with anything else for a more potent mix on bad roach jobs or do you just use it by itself? I haven’t used Alpine before but just purchased some because of your video and was curious how you mixed it for bad roach infestations.
You could a non repellent pyrethroid. That's basically what Temprid is (a non repellent that's a mix of a pyrethroid and neonicotineoid), but Temprid can be costly.
I have an empty rental property. I have had it sprayed along the baseboards. The problem I’m told is that with nobody in the house, the bedbugs will not come out and cross over the chemical threshold. I’m told there are products that produce CO2 or mimic people breathing? Is there a product I can put in the centre of the room to draw some of these bed bugs out?
Co2 trapping is a scam. You might try a house cat or find someone willing to sleep there lol. They do eventually die off if treated monthly for 6-9 months
I'm still finding bugs occasionally but no eggs, nesting, hiding spots on ANY mattress or furniture. I wash bedding twice a week hot water high heat. I treat with crossfire and a heavy duty high heat steamer (before crossfire). Baseboards, furniture. Everything. Double treatment like this shouldve worked I thought? No clutter. It's driving me nuts!!! How are they here but no eggs, no nymphs, no markings. I don't get it !!!
With tears in my eyes I’ve been dealing with this for a year buying treatments I came across your channel ordered crossfire and I’m feeling less and less of them I wish I had came across sooner I threw out mattress dresser everything thank you you are a blessing
The psychosomatic itching all night is driving me nuts!

Thank you Jason. As always, your videos are extremely helpful and appreciated.

Can you please do some videos on mites. Bird, dust, paper, oak etc. its hell.
I would like to know about more bugs that can bite you. When you're sleeping, my granddaughter has been getting bit when she's at my house. But I am not don't understand
I want to know too
Benedryl helps so much on psychosomatic itching. We had carpet beetles too.
What if you don’t have pets and it’s winter so no mosquitoes but still can’t find bed bugs
Having the same issue!!! We have had them in the past. Now my son is getting bites again. Ughhh
You saying that people show you their bites as an exterminator reminds me of when people find out their friend is a nurse and start showing them all their ailments
Oh yes I even had an elderly woman give me her underwear once and swear she had mites in them…I told her that that’s for a doctor to determine not me lol
thank you
I was the opposite. I was so sure I had everything but bed bugs until I found the bed bugs.
So many people believe in their heart they have them and it’s exhausting trying to explain they have something else

Sometimes I’ll get one bite on my chest ..or behind my ear
I don’t see any signs of BB
This is so perplexing
I use Neem oil on my arms religiously to deter them
The last time I got bit I didn’t have on the Neem I thought I was cured
The Neem oil for me is a must
But it doesn’t kill then
Sprayed with Alpine Wsg granules about 30 days ago
This is exhausting !
I bought some cowboy boots one time that broke my ankles out. The cows were lying in a poison ivy field and gotten absorbed in the hydes, or someone tried them on that had psoriasis.
I’ve been suspending judgement but now there’s blood spots on the pillow along with itching. It’s a reinfestation.
Jason, do you mix any kind of IGR with your crossfire? I think gentrol might be one of the only ones labeled for bedbugs but just curious if you have used it for bed bug applications. Thanks for everything you do brother! Great info
IGRs don’t work on bed bugs at all

Same! What can we do? Have you used the flashlight that supposed to glow when they flash over BBs.
Ok so how do we find and identify different types of bugs and treat for them?
I had bedbugs but after treating and everything I have never seen a big bedbugs only babies so please after treatment must I find a big one
Usually the big ones die off first
I have been dealing with bites and rashes for 4 1/2 years. I had companies come and inspect and they refuse to do the treatment because they can not see signs, but i know 100% i have bed bugs, i know it. is it possible never see one in so long? but the rashes are there and the bites?

Hey i mixed my crossfire up and use it and i stored the rest to use next month do you think its still effective
A lot of people keep it over a month and still use it and claim it works
in my case its jus tstarting winter and I am still finding some adults but more little ones plus apparently a few people in this building have them so I think they are coming up the walls and older atr heat pipe heating systems and also I found one at the entrance of my door the other day I have a 1" gap[ under my door to the apartment hall way so I think that maybe some people are mistaking BBs but some also are not
Hi: why do you think that pest control companies don't use cross fire, but they use other things?

For me, it’s bedbugs. I have all five stages in my bed. It’s summer now and I’m gonna have a hard time discerning mosquito bites from bedbugs
Hey all I have right now is alpine wsg so I need to do it every two weeks for bed bugs or once a week don't have crossfire right now😢 3 times in row in one stop its bed bugs they bite in 3's
These bites are thighs
Upper leg
Alpine WSG can me used once a month
Not always, it depends. If you move around a lot in your sleep like me, the bites will be scattered, and sometimes they hit a good spot for blood snd don't need a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th bite.
I have a video of a bug on the side of mattress no one can tell me what it is. Can I send it to you? My apt smells like I have Bedbugs or Roaches.

Country Bumpkin 😂 99% wrong
Think so? How many years of experience do you have researching and eliminating bed bugs? I have over 24 years in case you were wondering
wtf is this clickbait title?
What’s “click bait” ?
I'm still finding bugs occasionally but no eggs, nesting, hiding spots on ANY mattress or furniture. I wash bedding twice a week hot water high heat.

Probably coming in on someone have you checked your card
