There was a hoarder house in my town that got infested with bedbugs, roaches, and probably a multitude of other bugs so badly that the city and fire department actually did do a controlled burn to get rid of it.
Bedbugs aren't a matter of cleanliness. You can have the cleanest house and still end up with bedbugs. There are decently cleaned hotels that you wouldn't think would have bedbugs. Bedbugs actually are infestations is er infestations from people who would bring in things that they feel are useful. There's a reason why you have to cut into mattresses before you throw them out. Cut into old couches. Make them unusable.
@@lalaland962 Just wanted to say the same. There are matress covers with zippers for different uses, like keeping allergens away from the human, or mites or bed bugs. The ones against bed bugs usually have a special zipper which is encapsulated.
I have been a pest control tech for over 20 years. First, the “German” cockroach infestation at the beginning of this video CAN be avoided. This type of infestation is due solely to uncleanliness and filth in someone’s home. German cockroaches are mainly looking for a food source, whereas other outdoor roaches such as, American, Smokey Brown and Brown Banded cockroaches are generally looking for a water source. This is why you see these big roaches outside under moist areas like straw beds and moist soil. Ants, no mater how large the infestation, can be controlled and eliminated, you just need to terminate the source which is the colony and that can take time and several applications of insecticide. Termites are generally silent destroyers until noticed due to home damage. Bed Bugs can be extremely difficult to eradicate fully and they are probably one of the main insects that I hate the most. Stink bugs can be guided elsewhere and should be handled gently to avoid the secretion. One thing that isn’t pointed out in this video is the fact that lady bugs are a protected species and if caught killing them it can result in major fines. We don’t kill lady bugs at all. It’s the same as bats, it is a $10,000 fine PER bat if you harm them. Law was passed in 1972 to protect them. You can relocate them from someone’s home, but never kill them. Yellow jackets are very annoying and their stings are very painful. Thankfully, I’ve never seen a nest like this one. Honey bees can cause a serious sting as well and it swells pretty bad if not treated. Carpenter bees don’t generally sting, they just eat wood but they can be controlled rather easily. Mosquitos are everywhere here in the south, just use repellent. Most of these insects can be controlled rather easily, you just have to know what chemical is best for what pest and then find the source, eliminate it, and continue preventative maintenance.
Thanks for the very informative answer. Coming from a pest control agent, I am glad to know that these infestations can be controlled or minimized. I am ready to buy cans of RAID to get rid of those pesky insects, though.
I don’t have to worry about any infestation, my dad is extremely experienced in infestations, mainly termites. He used to be an inspector at Terminix but is now a sales man. Gotta be grateful for him he studied for YEARS! My dads awesome.
I have dealt with 3 bedbug infections. 2 in my mom's house. My bf at the time and I were gonna move in together. So we threw our clothes in the washer and dryer on high heat and place them in bags that you can use a vacuum to shrink them. As an extra precaution we left those bags in the car for 4 days when we got to our new place since it was summer. By some miracle the bed bugs didn't come with us. When we found out the place we moved to was in foreclosure we had to move again. When we moved into the new apartment we found out the whole apartment complex had bedbugs. When my bf and I broke up I stayed in the apartment. When I met someone and it got serious I moved again and did the same wash and drying clothes with the bags vacuuming down and leaving them in the car for a week in the heat before bringing the clothes in to the new apartment and again by some miracle the bed bugs didn't come with me into the new place and thankfully this place had no bedbug infestation prior too moving in and is still bedbug free. Sadly I lost over 95% of my things cause of these bugs. I had to get new clothes and new things it was frustrating and expensive but it was worth it
As a pest control technician I've run into both roach and bedbug infestations worse then the first two on this list. The worst bedbug one I've ever seen had bedbug carcases 2 inches deep along the baseboards and carpet of the home. The mattresses and linens were soaked in bedbug frass and blood. It was.... Unpleasant. Lol
I used to work in home health as a house cleaner, errand runner and companion. We would get special projects like cleaning homes that would otherwise be condemned. One of the worst homes we cleared was roach infested and covered in dog urine and poo. On my 1rst walk through to see if I could handle the job I was shocked. The urine soaked shag carpet would stick to your boots adding a layer to every step. I was so distracted by the floor I didn't see the roaches at first. The roach dirt was several inches thick on and in every cabinet, the refrigerator and all of the drawers. The refrigerator was still plugged in and running while it was filled with dead and live roaches. The roaches were dripped from the ceiling and came from everywhere including the outlets. Everything was covered in speckles of roach crap. Not long after that house I was called in to do a regular cleaning for an elderly woman that lived alone. She didn't have a vacume so I grabbed a broom to sweep the carpet halls and living area. After a minute I noticed the floor was looking worse like I was pulling stuff out of the carpet with my broom. On closer inspection I realized it was maggots. I immediately stopped and talked to the old woman about what I found. She was no help with what to do or how long this was a problem. I did notice she had several bandages on her arms and my heart heart sank. I took one off and there were maggots in her wounds. I notified my company and cleaned her up while waiting for the ambulance or the family to show up, which ever happened first.
When I was a child growing up in So CA, cockroaches seemed to be a common thing. One time my mom decided to get the house fumigated before we moved so we didn’t “take them with us”. When we came home afterwards, we had to sweep up dead roaches by the dustpan full. It was so gross.
@@sunnydrop7766 Yup. Had a real horror show going on :/, and the landlord as an aside said when I wanted an exterminator, (was a duplex, other side EMPTY!) "NO, people like YOU deserve to live like this". Also forbid us to lay traps even with the door wide open on the other side.
I once had a marmot get into the crawl space and get trapped in the ducts. About a week after we removed it, hundreds and hundreds of flies started coming out of the crawl space and into the house. It was like a miniature plague of flies. It was hard to even prepare food without flies getting into it. Take it from me, if you suspect some animal has taken a dump in your crawl space, clean it out immediately or you may find yourself in a similar situation.
I once had a bedbug infestation after coming back from a beautiful vacation in Florida. Me and my family were greeted with hundreds of bedbugs. Trust me, that sucked. The house is and has been bedbug free ever since the bedbugs were exterminated. There was one that even crawled Inside my moms ear and bit her there as well. Luckily we got an exterminator to get rid of the bedbugs. I also had to sleep on the couch because my bedroom was not safe for me to sleep in during the infestation. I really hope that they don't EVER come back again.
First, you probably brought them back with you. Bedbugs can't breed like crazy if you are not at home to help them. They would not have bred in solitude while you were gone. Sleeping on the couch was also stupid since bedbugs can smell your CO2 and sense your body heat, and would have just spread to the couch before long. They follow you. A reliable exterminator would have told you to sleep in your bed to prevent the infestation from spreading until it was dealt with. You could have lost your house all the damned furniture in it. :/ Yeah, sorry it happened to you though, dude. Had it happen once myself. Bye bye sanity.
I have had the same situation, it freaked me out because I clean everyday. The cost for the exterminators was where it hurt, they charged me $1400 I had to do a payment plan. Luckily after that we haven't had the problem again. They came from a furniture store that I bought my daughter and I bed, I sued them and won
I had bed bugs so bad once I was covered in hundreds of bites. It was so bad that I was afraid to step in the house, let alone sleep or sit on anything
I bought these ultrasound pest devices. They are supposed to send out sound waves that only pests can hear and drive them crazy and they end up leaving. These devices seem to work on every pest except bed bugs. Bed bugs seem to be special pests.
Im dealing with that now and too ashamed to call pest control because my place isnt clean and it probably could've been avoided if i cleaned better and had diligence. But i ignored it and now i feel like i cant clean more because the ants are everywhere and im terrified of them running up my arms and legs. I just found hundreds more today all over my stove, i guess taking grease and food crumbs. Im so stressed. The ants have been here for over a year, ever since i moved in so it was already an issue. But due to my neglect it has gotten severe. Especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Shower, sinks, toilet sometimes. And all over the floors and kitchen. They are different sizes, and the trails they have in the kitchen is a couple inches wide, several rows of ants that never stop walking.
@@BusinessCazual Hello there! I'm sorry to hear about your ants. Have you tried borax mixed with sugar? Borax is toxic to ants. Find yourself some "20-Mule Team" brand borax (usually in the clothing detergent section of the store), and mix it with some plain white sugar. You might need to grab several boxes but borax isn't very expensive. Put little piles all over your house, especially where the ants are the worst. They will pick up the sugar, looking for a sweet snack, and take it back to the nest. When they pick up the sugar, they also pick up some of the borax. They take it back to the nest to feed the other ants, and the borax will kill whoever eats it. Also pour lines of the borax and sugar mix all along the baseboards of your rooms, and on your windowsills. At the bases of your doors, outside, too. Anywhere you can think of. Put little dishes of it all over your house, for due diligence. This seriously works. You can Google it if you don't believe me! Hope this helps!
In rural areas ladybugs are actually bred and dropped by planes because they get rid of bugs that will eat trees and crops and farmland. I lived in southern Virginia for a year and about once a week in the summer planes (crop dusters) would fly overhead and you could see them dropping baskets of lady bugs, it was like rain.
coming from someone who once lived in a home infested with bed bugs, they are notoriously hard to get rid of because of how resilient they are. It took 7 treatments over the course of 9 months to finally be free of them. Always be wary of bringing in any second hand furniture into your home and inspect thoroughly if you don't have the option to buy it brand new.
The one and only time my house had bedbugs, apparently the exterminator was extremely impressed. The moment one was found, we put EVERYTHING that we possibly could, into garbage bags (we had 87 garbage bags of clothes, stuffed animals, pillows, etc.; anything that would fit) and the item that we found the one on, was my daughter's wicker laundry basket, which we promptly put into a garbage bag and took outside. In the chilly rain, we saw a bunch emerge... we just tied that bag up and said bye to that laundry basket. I called the exterminator that afternoon told them all of the things we did and they sent someone out a few days later. The exterminator checked and treated every room, every bed, couch, chair, baseboard, and closet. However, he stated that he only found evidence in ONE room, which was my daughter's bedroom... where we found the one in her laundry basket. He also commented that there was very little evidence of them, even in her room... which means, we found them VERY quickly. Any time any of my kids go somewhere to stay the night [with a few exceptions], they know that they're required to come home, go to the bathroom, strip and put their clothes in a bag, take a shower, and do their laundry immediately... we have a basement bathroom next to our laundry room. That might be paranoid, but I never want to deal with that ever again! I was lucky the first time. It only cost me $350 and I have a [including the basement, because he treated that too] 1900+ square foot home. Spray AND HEAT TREAT is necessary. Heat will kill them every time.
Depending on the size of the infestation, steam treatment might also be an option if one's infestation isn't too far along. My apartment house had it start upstairs (the people there often were in and out and had friends over) and it spread to me because neither of them reacted to bed bug bites. I'm a very allergic person, so I DID. It didn't take me long to recognize the problem for what it was and react immediately. Landlord is a good guy and the exterminator had some profound laurels. He made use of both chemicals and steam treatment, and everyone in the building cooperated instead of fighting and pointing fingers, so it was a very rare "in one fell swoop" type of deal. Second treatment was done as a precaution, but according to the exterminator, they'd actually gotten it all the first time. I nearly lost my sanity but did everything I could figure would help, and he was impressed.
@@ZeoViolet Yeah... steam also = heat. It's my understanding that if no heat is applied, it's VERY difficult to get rid of them all. So... you got lucky just like I did. Good that everyone cooperated.
@@MsAubrey Steam heat is best for localized application though...you'd need a professional steamer for that. Heat needs to be evenly distributed if one goes the heated-house route. Exterminators will make you spread everything out so no cool spaces can form. This is why I was concerned with something that you were relying on for heat...bundling everything in there could have heated up the outer areas very well, but left the inside too cool for it to happen. Both methods are best backed up with chemical application. The third apartment wasn't hit yet, but the place was checked and a barrier system of chemicals applied anyways, to prevent it from happening. Using just chemicals is what causes so much more money in the long run. Many bedbugs have developed resistances to it. Bug bombs and such don't work because they can't reach where bedbugs hide...in nooks and crannies. All you do is drive bedbugs into wall voids, and if they get in there....yeah once you are there, that is the point of no return. A very, very expensive act of wrapping the house up and fumigation is your last hope after that. Otherwise wall voids are unreachable. Just be sure that if anyone does DIY, they do it smartly. Unless done after research and in the early stages, it usually causes the problem to spiral thousands of dollars out of control. I did my homework back in 2014 when it happened, but I was so traumatized that I can recite all the do's and don'ts (a list far longer than this!) to this day.
@@MsAubrey Sorry if that sounded like a lecture...I didn't mean it that way. My mind just went into flashback and facts mode. A lingering issue from that traumatic few weeks.
@@ZeoViolet No. I understood. I too am one all for facts for sure. : ) It is pretty awful to go through, no doubt. That's why my kids know that if they stay somewhere else that they are to shower and start their laundry immediately after returning. I NEVER want to deal with that ever again!!!
While standing in line for the Antiques Roadshow we were attacked by Asian Lady Beetles for hours. Every few minutes you'd hear someone scream as they were bitten. It was stressful since you didn't know when your turn would come. They're taking over from other species of similar lady bugs and we see them quite often now.
@@FlattychasersNSW yes they bite. Last summer I got an infestation where they were coming in cracks in my doors. I took a wet/dry vac and sucked them up then taped up the cracks so they couldn’t get it. It worked.
We had bedbugs in my apartment building. The manager paid for extermination the first time but then made us pay half if there was a second time and the full amount any time after. What she didn't realize was that they can move from one apartment to another so the only way to completely control them would be to tent the whole building and get rid of them all at once.
I work for an apartment complex. I used to see this all the time. Now I work at a nice one. But once I walked in to an infested apartment with flees. I was in for 3 seconds. I literally walked 3 steps in, felt them and 3 steps out. I was completely covered in them. My boss was 10 times worse. We stripped to our draws lol…
We had a bad bug infestation for months. It took forever to get rid of them and we still get freaked out whenever someone wakes up with a bite on their leg
Raid? Try giving corn meal to ants. It will swell up in their little bellies and it kills them. They'll also take grains of the corn meal to their nests where others will also eat it.
@@orlandojohnson5742 mashed potato flakes and a bowl of water for a chaser will take care of rats and mice. The flakes swell in their bellies after they drink the water.
I had a fly infestation for a year and that was the worst. They'd wake me up in the morning or middle of the night landing on my face or buzzing around my ears. Then when I was awake, they were constantly landing on me or buzzing in front of my face while I'm trying to do something, and it just made focusing on anything impossible. They were an absolute nuisance and I never want to see a fly again. Each time I killed one that was landing on me or buzzing around my head, another one would just replace it immediately. I couldn't figure out where they were coming from.
I have experienced the stink bug & lady bug bombardment. Every year, at least in my area, we seem to have a new bug that takes over everything every year. The first year we ever had the stink bugs was the worse. They were EVERYWHERE-both inside & outside, and I never thought we’d be able to get rid of them. The next year, I prepared & brought the mini ShopVac upstairs to start sucking any up that I found. Instead, we ended up getting a ton of lady bugs pouring in through the ACs in our windows. We still get stink bugs here and there, but not anywhere close to that very first year we had thousands of them.
The “locust” house in St. Clair Shores is more likely covered in Mayflies….as is most of that area in the spring. They truly cover the houses and streets, and it’s a buffet for the fish in the nearby lake and river!
Omg, I have video from the early 90s of a ladybug 🐞 infestation in the home of my recently deceased grandmother-in-law, it was insane. I hadn’t thought of that in ages. We had cathedral ceilings with windows that actually angled with the roof line. There must have been some sort of gap up there cause all the sudden, for a week or two, there were thousands of ladybugs crawling up there both inside and out. I hated doing it but I had to vacuum them up. Ladybugs do not smell good when they’re vacuumed en masse. It’s been 30 years and I can still remember how awful that smell was. I can pick up on it when even just one ladybug releases it, it’s seared in my olfactory memory forever.
I witnessed Army worm infestation while growing up. You couldnt even play outside. Those guys were everywher on the grass like a wave of small caterpillars moving from one direction to the next. On the plus side they passed by in a week or two but can never forget the experience. Sam from Kenya
There are actually caterpillars of genus Thaumetopoea who are known for traveling by walking in a conjoined line. The caterpillars are hairy and very dangerous as the hairs easily fall of and cause irritation also when being breathed in.
The coackroach video remided me of a similar situation. A day my dad and my 2 sisters and i were visiting my old sister's house. Everything was alright but when it was time to sleep, we laid on a bed that was there only to be tickled by a cockroach on our hairs. When we looked at the corner of the bed, we were terrified because they were a LOT of them there hiding between the wall and the bed. We all screamed and called dad to do smtg about it. Turns out they weren't only in that bed they were EVERYWHERE. Behind the bathroom's door, the kitchen, on the floor. Literally EVERYWHERE. Thankfully my dad was brave and sprayed petsicide and closed every door. We waited for a few moments and opened the doors to find out that most of them died. Just a few of them were alive, my dad killed those who were alive and we all sweeped them away. We counted them and we have found out they were 20+ of them almost 30. All of this just because the house was closed for a mere 2 weeks. The memory still haunts me till this moment.
Nobody can. Those that deal with it without doing anything do so because of a strain on their mental state that comes with dealing with the horror of those fucking bloodsuckers...or they are disabled and ignored. :/
Cleanliness is next to godliness! The lack of responsibile people that do not keep a clean environment is disappointing, And to the ones who moved in to the fifth and didn't clean are just as guilty.
Infestations are so sickening and it's awful if you're trapped. When I was homeless I was sleeping in an abandoned drug house in South Georgia. Some of the windows were busted out and others were stuck open, so you could imagine all the pests that got in. There was literally a wasp nest inside the room I slept in. I was sleeping on a nasty mattress on the floor, which was at least 5 inches thick with food garbage and random stuff. At night I could feel the roaches crawling around on me and I just had to force myself to get over it, there was nothing I could do. Sometimes I'd wake up covered in ants too. I wouldn't wish any of that on my worst enemy
Man that bedbug infestation wasn’t that bad, I used to work for Bugs B Gone in indianapolis, poor old blind woman had no idea she had bedbugs or what they were. I am not ashamed to say that i she’d some tears for this lady, no one wanted to help her or inform her of what was going on, I am not lying when i tell you as soon as i opened the front door which was on the opposite side of the house where her bed sat, as soon as i walk in the bedbugs greet me at the front door crawling and nesting on the door frames, walls and baseboards, this lady was blind so her house was not the cleanest, she had boxes and clutter pulled up to about your shoulders, these bedbugs were nothing like i have seen before, not afraid or worried of any pretense, these things usually hide and run from you, the ones i found stayed put and were almost all full of blood! Big o chunky ones, thousands of dead bedbugs pulled and piled on top of eachother ranging from the size of a hand all the way up to almost the size of a shoe, thousands of even more live ones, this lady’s skin was the type to not be affected much by a big bite, though you can still see that something has been biting her on almost anywhere you look at her skin, man i hope no one that is blind or unaware of bedbugs ever has them as bad as this lady, no only were they in the bed but in every box and just about thing that sat next to her bed was loaded including the ceiling!
I have an infestation to share, my mom’s bathroom used to be infested with ants (not nearly as big as these infestations though), and she would freak out whenever she saw one of the little dudes (I would often kick into guard dog mode until realizing it was just a harmless little ant, these guys don’t bite). She seemed to hate them so much, but wouldn’t call pest control due to it being inconvenient, despite everybody’s suspicions that there was an anthill in the walls. Finally, I managed to pressure her into calling pest control (though it took a bit of drilling to make her give in). She finally called them, but I don’t really know the details on what happened after (pretty sure the ants are gone). If you’ve reached the end, thank you for your patience, this video just reminded me of that story. Edit: I asked my mother about the ants and she said that while there was no evidence of an anthill in the walls, the ants haven’t shown up since.
You mean to tell me, after all this typing, that you don't know the outcome? It's your mother for God's sake, not some stranger. How is this even possible?
@@snakedoktor6020 I know that the ants are gone, but I don’t really know if there was a hill in the walls or not. Besides, my mom just doesn’t really like talking about bugs. Edit: You should try being a little bit nicer.
When I was a kid in Des Moines, Iowa we had a ladybug infestation. It was winter so we think they came into the house for warmth. We came home and ALL ceilings of our house were coated so heavily in ladybugs that we couldn't even see the ceilings anymore.
I’ve had 2 massive swarms First one I had was a lady bug infestation that went to the point there was so many ladybugs on my porch i couldn’t even see my porch My second one was when a horse died and millions of flies flew all over the place, it essentially had so many flies that some areas i couldn’t even see anymore because it was pure flies and note i have a bug phobia, so it was hell
I have dealt with cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas, mealybugs and fruit flies all by myself for years. I am a single woman, now 62, and have rid them all myself between my home and my mom's and a couple of friends. What the first thing to do is 'fog' the house with raid. One can per room. Make sure the drawers are open along with all the other things it says. Wash the sheets etc. Then you steam the house and furniture. You make sure you do the baseboards, cracks and crevices. I even removed them from the furniture with spraying and steaming. No, it cannot be done in one day. But you keep cleaning, steaming and spraying daily. Then put down Diatomaceous Earth. There is also a night light that has sticky paste paper in it. They are atrackted to the light. Another thing is put down a bowl of water. When they jump in the water they drown because they cannot get out. Why waste money on the expensive terminators when you can do it yourself allot cheaper. Same thing with bees and fly nests outside. You get a bucket of water, put a peice of wood with either peanut butter, cat food or something they are attracked to on the bottom of the board. Then when the bees or flies go under to eat it, from them going up and down, they hit the water and again drown because they cannot swim. Good luck.
My parents noticed a dark patch in their bedroom and it was a beehive 10 times bigger than the one shown in Brisbane...we are 100 klms north of there...They had honey dripping down every wall and the whole roof was infested. The room had to be rebuilt. Never seen so much honey in my life!!
I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with bedbugs! I’ve heard they’re next to impossible to irradiate. Last summer my cat got fleas, and that was bad enough. Took months to get rid of
bed bugs can only be killed and controlled and solved as long as you catch them before the problem gets so out of hand to the point there everywhere and you can see them right in your view like roaches between roaches and bed bugs they hide and are hard to see when the infestation is small but when they get so out of control you can see them clear as day without needing to even look in the small hiding spots they start out in then you might have a problem getting rid of them
@@colynman i can refute that claim it actually can be handled if it gets out of control it just costs alot more me and my family had it bad once real bad maybe 1000 in the house but my stepmom paid $5000 usd in cash too get the house sprayed they did the carpet walls everything hot steamed the house and we had too put these mattress covers on our beds they go over the mattress and zip up but they did that for about 3 months but the problem was already gone about 2 but we had too also throw away all paper all our school items anything they could of been on so yea
My father had an bedbug infestation in 1990s when he was in college. He lived with 3 other siblings and his mother. they waited for 10 days without calling pest control. They killed them with poison and with hands for 10 days.
HEAT HEAT HEAT! Or... if you can't put extreme heat to the item, put it in the freezer for several days. Anything that can be washed in the washing machine, wash on HOT and dried at the highest setting. Our exterminator used a heat gun and sprayed pesticide and I am SO GLAD to say that they were eradicated. We found them early though.
I live in Minnesota and in the summertime by bodies of water you can get infestations of mayflies. At night they're attracted to light so they'll cover the entire window on the outside if there's a light on on the inside. So many on the sidewalks that you couldn't avoid stepping on them. There have been times they were so bad that they've used snow plows to remove them off of the bridges so that the cars won't get in accidents. I kid you not
Fun fact: mayflies emerge from their larval state with no mouths and don’t eat as adults. They use what energy stores they had from eating as larvae to fly around and mate, then the male dies while the female dive bombs into the water to die as she releases her eggs.
@ 2:55 when he said "bluhht" I laughed out loud. You don't expect that from such a serious voice 😂😂 in the midst of a video like this but it was absolutely fitting, and perfect lol
Me and my siblings stay with our moms house for the week, and we go to dads for the weekends, but for a few years, we had to deal with bedbugs at both places because dad got bedbugs first, but managed to get into our stuff when we go back to moms, we had to unfortunately deal with that for 2 years before they were all gone... so try to remove every bedbug as quick as possible before they infest your entire home.
Those stink bugs get EVERYWHERE here in MI. The apartment I used to live in wasn't sealed well at all so we always had stink bugs floating around. They'd die in the lights and collect, appear three inches from your face in the middle of the night, and my roommate said she had one fall into her mouth one night... They are so gross. Nothing you can do about it much either cause they're looking for the warm here, so they're auto-drawn to houses.
One of my housemate few years back brought Bed Bugs into our apartment. She thought it was a good idea to host someone who have his own apartment infested by bed bugs... Yea you too find its dumb dumb, but she thought it was nice. I didnt knew about all of this obviously. When I first discovered, I was watching a movie on my bed late at night just having a good time before bed, when all of a sudden I saw a freaking bed bug on my sheet. I knew by the look of it that a nightmare did started. I knew how a bed bug looked like, and I knew it was one. In a panic mode, I flipped my bed over just to see a freaking family of those stupid bugs full of blood. Thanks god, not at the extend of what we saw in the video. ( I would have pass away probably of heart attack ) I didnt knew what to do on the spot I was panicking... I couldnt do nothing because it was past 12h00am... So on the spot, I learned that when you kill those stupid bugs, it stink badly. I knew it because I killed all of those that I could saw, but I knew I could not killed them all. I wrapped my mattress of plastic bag and sealed it completely. (dont think it was that helpful tho lol) The thing was I couldnt go somewhere else either because the last thing I wanted is to bring those nasty thing into a friends house or family member house. Well thats what normal people do, but not my housemate... This was the worse night I had. In the morning of the following day I called the exterminator and called my parents crying. When I knew the situation was over, I moved away from that housemate as fast as possible, not knowing what the next chapter it could be. I didnt wanted to know either. Turns out my housemate knew about the situation since the beginning. But she didnt thought it might be a good idea to notify me of the situation... She told me that she thought it would resolve by itself... lol Neither her nor the man that was sleeping with her that brought the bugs with him took responsibility. I had to take the situation into hands myself being obviously the only normal person there. I had to call the exterminator and pay all of it. She never excuse herself to me nor the owner of the apartment. A complete useless person. It was my last experience with a housemate. My trust just disappeared from this point. Now I live alone in my apartment. No trouble, no bugs, no BS, no noise, no problem. Its paradise. I still have nightmares about bugs and sometimes I might feel a hair and I have to look to confirmed its not a bug... I hope no one has to live this because it stays in your head for a long time.
15:10 I dont have words to describe the beauty of that beehive its wonderful these guys sjould be lucky because real honey is hard to come by. Funnily enough european bees are so tame and just entranced in their work with flowers you can even touch them whie theyre sitting on flowers and most of the time they wont give a fuck. Did it many times and only saw one bee so far that began pulsating its back to warn me. Probably its because we only hjave Bees that people kept for hundreds of years and trimed them on productivity and peacefulness
My friend in Patoka Indiana (it was on the news you could probably find the footage) had such a bad bee infestation that honey was dripping down the walls. I would go over there and we could watch honey pour down the walls like some horror movie, but instead of blood running from the walls it was honey. I'm also allergic to bees and wasps so I didnt realize how close I was to becoming the actual movie "my girl" until the experts tore into it. a 2 story building with the whole left side of the house becoming one honeycomb.
I moved into an apartment with them and they were the most hellish thing I’ve ever dealt with. And actually they can live up to 18 months without eating, not 5.
As a former rent a center employee i can say ive delivered to many many filthy bug infested hoarder houses couldnt even take a step with out roaches crunching under my feet
If you have a ant infestation you need to put boiling water on them you can put the boiling water on the trails of ants of the nest . You should probably put the boiling water on the nest so you should take them out for good.
For anyone interested in a low maintenance,small and cheap pet,Stink Beetles make surprisingly good pets if you don’t startle them.I prefer the bright green variant.
I've seen the ladybug swarms a couple of times in Muir Woods. I'm a bit weird in that it didn't creep me out--it was fascinating. I got tons of photos, too. They gather like that for two reasons, preparing for winter, they gather by the tens of thousands to keep warm under leaf litter. The other reason is mating.
I live in Georgia and when it was still cold, we had a large LadyBud problem. More or less, it was just a lot more then I I was comfortable with. They weren't that bad since the only Stade on the corners of my house and never really going anywhere other then that. I still find Laby bug corpses when I clean and it's been like a month and a half since they started coming
8:40 And this is one of the reasons why I'm planning on selling my current home and building a new one to move to... The new home I'm designing will have concrete floor, walls and roof...no wood will touch the outside soil so no Termites will be able to infest and eat my home... It's also HIGHLY Fire Resistant, so my Home Insurance Premiums should drop...WIN-WIN-WIN... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
When my daughter was in the hospital there was a huge bug infestation of grasshoppers i believe or something... It was crazy they were everywhere i could not walk normal going in and out because i couldn't step on one... The feeling is so creepy!
I have had a yellow jacket infestation. I walked into my bedroom and it was like a horror movie, yellow jackets covered the walls. They had made a nest in the second floor bay window. We had to remove the entire window and seat area.
Wow! I thought I had seen it all. When I was a little kid I had an infestation of ladybugs that had accumulated on all four of my walls in my bedroom, I have told my parent that there is a bunch of ladybugs in my room and of course oh, my parents did not believe me. Until she came in herself and had never seen that many ladybugs in her entire life.
I veeeery much appriciate the heads up about the spider infestation. While it may not be the most disgusting one, I think I'd die of fear having to face that lol
I lived in a 99 year old apartment building up until 18 months ago, and we had roaches everywhere. I moved in, had no food, and still they came to eat the adhesive in my moving boxes. They came through the drains, through the power outlets, everywhere. And the stupid maintenance department would drill holes around the baseboards and below the fixtures and cabinets, supposedly so they could spray poison in there, but it was just creating more big access holes. It was amazing incompetence combined with the fact that the bugs probably had been breeding there in the dirt floor basement for a good 30 years. And then they had their bedbug issues, not me, somehow when all neighbors above below and next door had them, I didn't see a one. Godawful.
These stories were absolutely SHOCKING and scared the daylights out of me. I cannot handle any bug whatsoever. I am glad I live in a house that was brand new and in an area that's cold (did I seriously just write that) most of the year if that's what it's like to live in warmer or swampier areas. (guessing) That's the stuff nightmares are made of. Thank goodness these exterminator guys exist!! Sorry, I would never date or marry one of these guys are anyone who lived in these places. 😱🤮
About 40 years ago when I lived out in the country my home was infested with biting fleas. They were everywhere and on everything. I got a bag of Sevin dust and sprinkle it all over the house and left it for a while, vacuumed it up never had another flea or any other bug in that house again.
i have the most irrational fear of daddy-long legs and i have since i was a child, theres just something about the way they move and how quick and thin they are that terrifies me, seeing them in clumps like that on my playhouse as a kid always made me SHRIEK! and when i was much smaller i watched my mother peel up my older brothers batman posters to reveal HUNDREDS of stinkbugs piled together and *VERY* alive. nowadays im an entomologist enthusiast so when i find stinkbugs or anything like that of the sort that im certain arent poisoned, i just hold my pet mantid up to it like how you hold a cat up to a bug on the ceiling.
@11:30 Finding lady bug infestations are much more common, because usually they are the Asian beetle "lady" bugs. They are more orange in color than normal lady bugs (which are redder).
Has anyone noticed that almost every segment of this video has its title be an alliteration. (e.g. Bee Brave, Ant Attack, Cockroach Calamity, etc.) the only real exception is “The House of 100% Nope!”
Bed bugs are EXTREMELY difficult to get rid of! I was staying with my boyfriend who had both roaches and bed bugs and it was awful.. we ended up throwing everything into a metal garage because if bed bugs get to hot they die, and it was in Arizona which is up in the 100s during summer anyway
Hey love your videos, but the St Claire Shores locus aren't locus, they are Fish Flies, I work at an Orthopedic Surgical office, and I have to use snow shovels to remove them from our doors and entrance ways each year around the same time, thanks!, that house was barely covered with the pics I have!
I hate the misconception that bed bugs are ALWAYS caused by the person being dirty. Those things come straight from hell and they can live practically anywhere
I used to have a infestation of fleas in my home. We had an outdoor cat who we’d let back inside but she must’ve gotten fleas from the outdoors and soon it traveled to our dogs and then to us. I hated it so much, I’d have to fucking drown them and rip them apart. They bit me so hard that I had itched my whole body and some parts had started to bleed. Eventually we moved out and our cat was outside whilst we moved so we never got to see her again. It’s likely that she’s dead or in a lovely home. I miss you, cocoa beans.
Any cats outside will bring in pests. Cats do not need to be outside. They are perfectly happy indoors. Terrible things happen to them or they kill song birds. Not taking the cat with you was just plain awful. He came home and wondered why everyone left him! They don't know what's going on. All they know is they are alone. He probably suffered A horrible death due to your irresponsible behavior. Shame on you.
every year during fall we get a bunch of stink bugs. Particularly in my old bedroom (i've moved to the basement) and it was horrible. I'd have them fly into my hair, i've had them under my pillow when trying to sleep, etc. Luckily it was mostly only in the fall tho
In Kansas in my back porch window, I had an window infestation of the orange Japanese lady bugs,I think they wanted the warm, once I opened the window they left, but there were hundreds it was cool to see
One infestation that happened every few years in my hometown of Winnipeg (in Canada) was Tent Caterpillars (sometimes called Army Worms). They're moth larva, & swarm by the billions some years, eating anything leafy in sight, covering entire trees & bushes with their webbing like something out of a horror film. Looks eerie & amazing. The plants surprisingly get through the experience with little trouble & just regrow their leaves once the invasion is done in a couple of weeks.
I always try to spare a hunting spider when I see one cause they keep insect and other spider populations in check so long as you only see one or two. Venus flytraps help too. I had one where a hunting spider apparently tried crawling over the leaves and that was all. Though you do need to clean the exoskeletons around the plant from time to time.
I let a spider stay in my moms bathroom corner above the mirror for a few weeks and then one night, I went in and saw a bunch of baby spiders everywhere😭
I have made great experience with Pinguicula if you want a carnivorous plant that isn't too picky to care for. Drosera also works with sticky leaves, but it a bit more tricky in care. With Pinguicula you basically only water them that much they always have 'wet feet' and give them high sun. They don't need more. When placed at a window in the kitchen for example, they will catch flies, moths, fruit flies and small bugs.
5:48 just a small observation, Spiders (and all other Arachnids) are Arthropods, not Insects. and for me, personally, are much better to deal with than insects. i get very uncomfortable near any insect (to the point that even the most beautiful and colorful butterflies make me uneasy around them), but spiders are completely fine by me, i just go about my day as if they weren't even there. i would much rather deal with 10 spiders a day than a single cockroach every week.
We have quite a few stinkbugs around all the time, but never like in this video! We used to live where we'd get swarmed every single fall by thousands of lady bugs. They eventually disappeared (under the siding, probably), but we'd find groups in corners of our ceilings.
Every time I see a ladybug in my house, I gently scoop it up and bring it outside on a plant with aphids. And there's always plants with aphids. If I go to look after them a few hours later, the ladybugs are most often still there munching on the aphids and often also stay for a few days if the weather allows.
There was a hoarder house in my town that got infested with bedbugs, roaches, and probably a multitude of other bugs so badly that the city and fire department actually did do a controlled burn to get rid of it.
Burn the whole town
Yes.

Bedbugs aren't a matter of cleanliness. You can have the cleanest house and still end up with bedbugs. There are decently cleaned hotels that you wouldn't think would have bedbugs. Bedbugs actually are infestations is er infestations from people who would bring in things that they feel are useful. There's a reason why you have to cut into mattresses before you throw them out. Cut into old couches. Make them unusable.
My waste disposal company requires that anyone getting rid of a mattress buy a zippered plastic mattress cover before they'll take it.
@@lalaland962 that's how some might be. Bedbugs don't like heat.
@@lalaland962 Just wanted to say the same. There are matress covers with zippers for different uses, like keeping allergens away from the human, or mites or bed bugs. The ones against bed bugs usually have a special zipper which is encapsulated.

I have been a pest control tech for over 20 years. First, the “German” cockroach infestation at the beginning of this video CAN be avoided. This type of infestation is due solely to uncleanliness and filth in someone’s home. German cockroaches are mainly looking for a food source, whereas other outdoor roaches such as, American, Smokey Brown and Brown Banded cockroaches are generally looking for a water source. This is why you see these big roaches outside under moist areas like straw beds and moist soil. Ants, no mater how large the infestation, can be controlled and eliminated, you just need to terminate the source which is the colony and that can take time and several applications of insecticide. Termites are generally silent destroyers until noticed due to home damage. Bed Bugs can be extremely difficult to eradicate fully and they are probably one of the main insects that I hate the most. Stink bugs can be guided elsewhere and should be handled gently to avoid the secretion. One thing that isn’t pointed out in this video is the fact that lady bugs are a protected species and if caught killing them it can result in major fines. We don’t kill lady bugs at all. It’s the same as bats, it is a $10,000 fine PER bat if you harm them. Law was passed in 1972 to protect them. You can relocate them from someone’s home, but never kill them. Yellow jackets are very annoying and their stings are very painful. Thankfully, I’ve never seen a nest like this one. Honey bees can cause a serious sting as well and it swells pretty bad if not treated. Carpenter bees don’t generally sting, they just eat wood but they can be controlled rather easily. Mosquitos are everywhere here in the south, just use repellent. Most of these insects can be controlled rather easily, you just have to know what chemical is best for what pest and then find the source, eliminate it, and continue preventative maintenance.
Its just a video bruv chill
You got full history text book with you!
Nice info though
Wow, thx for the knowledge
@@RaviTeja-rv8eg yea we definitely read it hahahah
@Michael what makes stink bugs attract to a home
Thanks for the very informative answer. Coming from a pest control agent, I am glad to know that these infestations can be controlled or minimized. I am ready to buy cans of RAID to get rid of those pesky insects, though.
I don’t have to worry about any infestation, my dad is extremely experienced in infestations, mainly termites. He used to be an inspector at Terminix but is now a sales man. Gotta be grateful for him he studied for YEARS! My dads awesome.
Be honest about ants though have you had them before?
I have dealt with 3 bedbug infections. 2 in my mom's house. My bf at the time and I were gonna move in together. So we threw our clothes in the washer and dryer on high heat and place them in bags that you can use a vacuum to shrink them. As an extra precaution we left those bags in the car for 4 days when we got to our new place since it was summer. By some miracle the bed bugs didn't come with us. When we found out the place we moved to was in foreclosure we had to move again. When we moved into the new apartment we found out the whole apartment complex had bedbugs. When my bf and I broke up I stayed in the apartment. When I met someone and it got serious I moved again and did the same wash and drying clothes with the bags vacuuming down and leaving them in the car for a week in the heat before bringing the clothes in to the new apartment and again by some miracle the bed bugs didn't come with me into the new place and thankfully this place had no bedbug infestation prior too moving in and is still bedbug free. Sadly I lost over 95% of my things cause of these bugs. I had to get new clothes and new things it was frustrating and expensive but it was worth it
As a pest control technician I've run into both roach and bedbug infestations worse then the first two on this list.
The worst bedbug one I've ever seen had bedbug carcases 2 inches deep along the baseboards and carpet of the home. The mattresses and linens were soaked in bedbug frass and blood. It was.... Unpleasant. Lol
That's so gross
Geez lousie man,sorry you have to see that stuff
The word comes to mind is unpleasant lol
I’m scratching like a crazy person just seeing/hearing all this. I really don’t know how you do it. Lol
I used to work in home health as a house cleaner, errand runner and companion. We would get special projects like cleaning homes that would otherwise be condemned.
One of the worst homes we cleared was roach infested and covered in dog urine and poo. On my 1rst walk through to see if I could handle the job I was shocked. The urine soaked shag carpet would stick to your boots adding a layer to every step. I was so distracted by the floor I didn't see the roaches at first. The roach dirt was several inches thick on and in every cabinet, the refrigerator and all of the drawers. The refrigerator was still plugged in and running while it was filled with dead and live roaches. The roaches were dripped from the ceiling and came from everywhere including the outlets. Everything was covered in speckles of roach crap.
Not long after that house I was called in to do a regular cleaning for an elderly woman that lived alone. She didn't have a vacume so I grabbed a broom to sweep the carpet halls and living area. After a minute I noticed the floor was looking worse like I was pulling stuff out of the carpet with my broom. On closer inspection I realized it was maggots. I immediately stopped and talked to the old woman about what I found. She was no help with what to do or how long this was a problem. I did notice she had several bandages on her arms and my heart heart sank. I took one off and there were maggots in her wounds. I notified my company and cleaned her up while waiting for the ambulance or the family to show up, which ever happened first.
When I was a child growing up in So CA, cockroaches seemed to be a common thing. One time my mom decided to get the house fumigated before we moved so we didn’t “take them with us”. When we came home afterwards, we had to sweep up dead roaches by the dustpan full. It was so gross.
Lived in a nasty little apartment in Florida for a couple of years. I counted at least a dozen forms of roach...and some of them HISSED!
@@ekramer2478 its called a hissing roach people feed frongs snakes and others this type of roach
@@sunnydrop7766 Yup. Had a real horror show going on :/, and the landlord as an aside said when I wanted an exterminator, (was a duplex, other side EMPTY!) "NO, people like YOU deserve to live like this". Also forbid us to lay traps even with the door wide open on the other side.
Hissed?? Wow
Can we agree his voice is always so soothing lol!
I agreed
We can indeed

I once had a marmot get into the crawl space and get trapped in the ducts. About a week after we removed it, hundreds and hundreds of flies started coming out of the crawl space and into the house. It was like a miniature plague of flies. It was hard to even prepare food without flies getting into it.
Take it from me, if you suspect some animal has taken a dump in your crawl space, clean it out immediately or you may find yourself in a similar situation.
I once had a bedbug infestation after coming back from a beautiful vacation in Florida. Me and my family were greeted with hundreds of bedbugs. Trust me, that sucked. The house is and has been bedbug free ever since the bedbugs were exterminated. There was one that even crawled Inside my moms ear and bit her there as well. Luckily we got an exterminator to get rid of the bedbugs. I also had to sleep on the couch because my bedroom was not safe for me to sleep in during the infestation. I really hope that they don't EVER come back again.
First, you probably brought them back with you. Bedbugs can't breed like crazy if you are not at home to help them. They would not have bred in solitude while you were gone. Sleeping on the couch was also stupid since bedbugs can smell your CO2 and sense your body heat, and would have just spread to the couch before long. They follow you. A reliable exterminator would have told you to sleep in your bed to prevent the infestation from spreading until it was dealt with. You could have lost your house all the damned furniture in it. :/ Yeah, sorry it happened to you though, dude. Had it happen once myself. Bye bye sanity.
This is my worst fear with traveling.
I have had the same situation, it freaked me out because I clean everyday. The cost for the exterminators was where it hurt, they charged me $1400 I had to do a payment plan. Luckily after that we haven't had the problem again. They came from a furniture store that I bought my daughter and I bed, I sued them and won
I had bed bugs so bad once I was covered in hundreds of bites. It was so bad that I was afraid to step in the house, let alone sleep or sit on anything
I bought these ultrasound pest devices. They are supposed to send out sound waves that only pests can hear and drive them crazy and they end up leaving. These devices seem to work on every pest except bed bugs. Bed bugs seem to be special pests.
Unfortunately, that ant infestation happened to my room at my lowest point of depression. Very very humiliating, glad I no longer have that issue!
I'm proud of you that you got out of that situation!
Im dealing with that now and too ashamed to call pest control because my place isnt clean and it probably could've been avoided if i cleaned better and had diligence. But i ignored it and now i feel like i cant clean more because the ants are everywhere and im terrified of them running up my arms and legs. I just found hundreds more today all over my stove, i guess taking grease and food crumbs. Im so stressed. The ants have been here for over a year, ever since i moved in so it was already an issue. But due to my neglect it has gotten severe. Especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Shower, sinks, toilet sometimes. And all over the floors and kitchen. They are different sizes, and the trails they have in the kitchen is a couple inches wide, several rows of ants that never stop walking.
@@BusinessCazual Hello there! I'm sorry to hear about your ants. Have you tried borax mixed with sugar? Borax is toxic to ants. Find yourself some "20-Mule Team" brand borax (usually in the clothing detergent section of the store), and mix it with some plain white sugar. You might need to grab several boxes but borax isn't very expensive.
Put little piles all over your house, especially where the ants are the worst. They will pick up the sugar, looking for a sweet snack, and take it back to the nest. When they pick up the sugar, they also pick up some of the borax.
They take it back to the nest to feed the other ants, and the borax will kill whoever eats it. Also pour lines of the borax and sugar mix all along the baseboards of your rooms, and on your windowsills. At the bases of your doors, outside, too. Anywhere you can think of. Put little dishes of it all over your house, for due diligence.
This seriously works. You can Google it if you don't believe me!
Hope this helps!
@@BusinessCazual bro what
@cutmass LMAOOO yeah that shit was insane i was going through a lot
In rural areas ladybugs are actually bred and dropped by planes because they get rid of bugs that will eat trees and crops and farmland. I lived in southern Virginia for a year and about once a week in the summer planes (crop dusters) would fly overhead and you could see them dropping baskets of lady bugs, it was like rain.
I've never heard of that. It doesn't cause a lady bug explosion??
The first story is a rare example where arson would be legally considered a public service.
coming from someone who once lived in a home infested with bed bugs, they are notoriously hard to get rid of because of how resilient they are. It took 7 treatments over the course of 9 months to finally be free of them. Always be wary of bringing in any second hand furniture into your home and inspect thoroughly if you don't have the option to buy it brand new.
Buy metal beds. They don't do metal. Only wood and upholstery. They can go behind pictures, too. Look for 3 blood dots in triangle shape.
Anyone else suddenly feel some bugs crawling around on their back
Time to take a shower and then vacuum the entire house 😅
YES...OMG YES... 😱

Yay, eczena...

The one and only time my house had bedbugs, apparently the exterminator was extremely impressed. The moment one was found, we put EVERYTHING that we possibly could, into garbage bags (we had 87 garbage bags of clothes, stuffed animals, pillows, etc.; anything that would fit) and the item that we found the one on, was my daughter's wicker laundry basket, which we promptly put into a garbage bag and took outside. In the chilly rain, we saw a bunch emerge... we just tied that bag up and said bye to that laundry basket.
I called the exterminator that afternoon told them all of the things we did and they sent someone out a few days later. The exterminator checked and treated every room, every bed, couch, chair, baseboard, and closet. However, he stated that he only found evidence in ONE room, which was my daughter's bedroom... where we found the one in her laundry basket. He also commented that there was very little evidence of them, even in her room... which means, we found them VERY quickly. Any time any of my kids go somewhere to stay the night [with a few exceptions], they know that they're required to come home, go to the bathroom, strip and put their clothes in a bag, take a shower, and do their laundry immediately... we have a basement bathroom next to our laundry room.
That might be paranoid, but I never want to deal with that ever again! I was lucky the first time. It only cost me $350 and I have a [including the basement, because he treated that too] 1900+ square foot home. Spray AND HEAT TREAT is necessary. Heat will kill them every time.
Depending on the size of the infestation, steam treatment might also be an option if one's infestation isn't too far along. My apartment house had it start upstairs (the people there often were in and out and had friends over) and it spread to me because neither of them reacted to bed bug bites. I'm a very allergic person, so I DID. It didn't take me long to recognize the problem for what it was and react immediately. Landlord is a good guy and the exterminator had some profound laurels. He made use of both chemicals and steam treatment, and everyone in the building cooperated instead of fighting and pointing fingers, so it was a very rare "in one fell swoop" type of deal. Second treatment was done as a precaution, but according to the exterminator, they'd actually gotten it all the first time. I nearly lost my sanity but did everything I could figure would help, and he was impressed.
@@ZeoViolet Yeah... steam also = heat. It's my understanding that if no heat is applied, it's VERY difficult to get rid of them all. So... you got lucky just like I did. Good that everyone cooperated.
@@MsAubrey Steam heat is best for localized application though...you'd need a professional steamer for that. Heat needs to be evenly distributed if one goes the heated-house route. Exterminators will make you spread everything out so no cool spaces can form. This is why I was concerned with something that you were relying on for heat...bundling everything in there could have heated up the outer areas very well, but left the inside too cool for it to happen. Both methods are best backed up with chemical application.
The third apartment wasn't hit yet, but the place was checked and a barrier system of chemicals applied anyways, to prevent it from happening.
Using just chemicals is what causes so much more money in the long run. Many bedbugs have developed resistances to it. Bug bombs and such don't work because they can't reach where bedbugs hide...in nooks and crannies. All you do is drive bedbugs into wall voids, and if they get in there....yeah once you are there, that is the point of no return. A very, very expensive act of wrapping the house up and fumigation is your last hope after that. Otherwise wall voids are unreachable.
Just be sure that if anyone does DIY, they do it smartly. Unless done after research and in the early stages, it usually causes the problem to spiral thousands of dollars out of control.
I did my homework back in 2014 when it happened, but I was so traumatized that I can recite all the do's and don'ts (a list far longer than this!) to this day.
@@MsAubrey Sorry if that sounded like a lecture...I didn't mean it that way. My mind just went into flashback and facts mode. A lingering issue from that traumatic few weeks.
@@ZeoViolet No. I understood. I too am one all for facts for sure. : ) It is pretty awful to go through, no doubt. That's why my kids know that if they stay somewhere else that they are to shower and start their laundry immediately after returning. I NEVER want to deal with that ever again!!!
While standing in line for the Antiques Roadshow we were attacked by Asian Lady Beetles for hours. Every few minutes you'd hear someone scream as they were bitten. It was stressful since you didn't know when your turn would come. They're taking over from other species of similar lady bugs and we see them quite often now.

We had bedbugs in my apartment building. The manager paid for extermination the first time but then made us pay half if there was a second time and the full amount any time after. What she didn't realize was that they can move from one apartment to another so the only way to completely control them would be to tent the whole building and get rid of them all at once.
I'm about 90% sure the landlord can't make you pay. I'd get a real estate lawyer...
I work for an apartment complex. I used to see this all the time. Now I work at a nice one. But once I walked in to an infested apartment with flees. I was in for 3 seconds. I literally walked 3 steps in, felt them and 3 steps out. I was completely covered in them. My boss was 10 times worse. We stripped to our draws lol…
We had a bad bug infestation for months. It took forever to get rid of them and we still get freaked out whenever someone wakes up with a bite on their leg
Which bug?
This is why I love winter and snow. It means no bugs! Well... for the most part. I've never even heard of snow-fleas before.
Bugs live in winter areas, but then are too fragile. Warm of your hand can overheat them and kill instantly
Raid? Try giving corn meal to ants. It will swell up in their little bellies and it kills them. They'll also take grains of the corn meal to their nests where others will also eat it.
Really? This is an interesting bit of ant genocide. I will try it one of these days.

I had a fly infestation for a year and that was the worst. They'd wake me up in the morning or middle of the night landing on my face or buzzing around my ears. Then when I was awake, they were constantly landing on me or buzzing in front of my face while I'm trying to do something, and it just made focusing on anything impossible. They were an absolute nuisance and I never want to see a fly again. Each time I killed one that was landing on me or buzzing around my head, another one would just replace it immediately. I couldn't figure out where they were coming from.
I have experienced the stink bug & lady bug bombardment. Every year, at least in my area, we seem to have a new bug that takes over everything every year. The first year we ever had the stink bugs was the worse. They were EVERYWHERE-both inside & outside, and I never thought we’d be able to get rid of them. The next year, I prepared & brought the mini ShopVac upstairs to start sucking any up that I found. Instead, we ended up getting a ton of lady bugs pouring in through the ACs in our windows. We still get stink bugs here and there, but not anywhere close to that very first year we had thousands of them.

Omg, I have video from the early 90s of a ladybug 🐞 infestation in the home of my recently deceased grandmother-in-law, it was insane. I hadn’t thought of that in ages. We had cathedral ceilings with windows that actually angled with the roof line. There must have been some sort of gap up there cause all the sudden, for a week or two, there were thousands of ladybugs crawling up there both inside and out. I hated doing it but I had to vacuum them up. Ladybugs do not smell good when they’re vacuumed en masse. It’s been 30 years and I can still remember how awful that smell was. I can pick up on it when even just one ladybug releases it, it’s seared in my olfactory memory forever.
I witnessed Army worm infestation while growing up. You couldnt even play outside. Those guys were everywher on the grass like a wave of small caterpillars moving from one direction to the next. On the plus side they passed by in a week or two but can never forget the experience. Sam from Kenya
There are actually caterpillars of genus Thaumetopoea who are known for traveling by walking in a conjoined line.
The caterpillars are hairy and very dangerous as the hairs easily fall of and cause irritation also when being breathed in.
The coackroach video remided me of a similar situation. A day my dad and my 2 sisters and i were visiting my old sister's house. Everything was alright but when it was time to sleep, we laid on a bed that was there only to be tickled by a cockroach on our hairs. When we looked at the corner of the bed, we were terrified because they were a LOT of them there hiding between the wall and the bed. We all screamed and called dad to do smtg about it. Turns out they weren't only in that bed they were EVERYWHERE. Behind the bathroom's door, the kitchen, on the floor. Literally EVERYWHERE. Thankfully my dad was brave and sprayed petsicide and closed every door. We waited for a few moments and opened the doors to find out that most of them died. Just a few of them were alive, my dad killed those who were alive and we all sweeped them away. We counted them and we have found out they were 20+ of them almost 30. All of this just because the house was closed for a mere 2 weeks. The memory still haunts me till this moment.
2:14 I screeched when he peeled that off
Bro I flinched so hard because I thought the cockroaches where moving by themselves.
As if some people can happily live with infestations like that. Makes my skin crawl
Nobody can. Those that deal with it without doing anything do so because of a strain on their mental state that comes with dealing with the horror of those fucking bloodsuckers...or they are disabled and ignored. :/
Cleanliness is next to godliness! The lack of responsibile people that do not keep a clean environment is disappointing, And to the ones who moved in to the fifth and didn't clean are just as guilty.
This is the exact motivation I need to clean my house
Bug Exterminator:
"Ah shit here we go again".
Infestations are so sickening and it's awful if you're trapped. When I was homeless I was sleeping in an abandoned drug house in South Georgia. Some of the windows were busted out and others were stuck open, so you could imagine all the pests that got in. There was literally a wasp nest inside the room I slept in.
I was sleeping on a nasty mattress on the floor, which was at least 5 inches thick with food garbage and random stuff. At night I could feel the roaches crawling around on me and I just had to force myself to get over it, there was nothing I could do. Sometimes I'd wake up covered in ants too. I wouldn't wish any of that on my worst enemy
I am so sorry you had to go through that 🥺
Man that bedbug infestation wasn’t that bad, I used to work for Bugs B Gone in indianapolis, poor old blind woman had no idea she had bedbugs or what they were. I am not ashamed to say that i she’d some tears for this lady, no one wanted to help her or inform her of what was going on, I am not lying when i tell you as soon as i opened the front door which was on the opposite side of the house where her bed sat, as soon as i walk in the bedbugs greet me at the front door crawling and nesting on the door frames, walls and baseboards, this lady was blind so her house was not the cleanest, she had boxes and clutter pulled up to about your shoulders, these bedbugs were nothing like i have seen before, not afraid or worried of any pretense, these things usually hide and run from you, the ones i found stayed put and were almost all full of blood! Big o chunky ones, thousands of dead bedbugs pulled and piled on top of eachother ranging from the size of a hand all the way up to almost the size of a shoe, thousands of even more live ones, this lady’s skin was the type to not be affected much by a big bite, though you can still see that something has been biting her on almost anywhere you look at her skin, man i hope no one that is blind or unaware of bedbugs ever has them as bad as this lady, no only were they in the bed but in every box and just about thing that sat next to her bed was loaded including the ceiling!
Not one person had the decency to tell her?!?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?! That poor woman ... I need to stop reading these comments ...
I have an infestation to share, my mom’s bathroom used to be infested with ants (not nearly as big as these infestations though), and she would freak out whenever she saw one of the little dudes (I would often kick into guard dog mode until realizing it was just a harmless little ant, these guys don’t bite). She seemed to hate them so much, but wouldn’t call pest control due to it being inconvenient, despite everybody’s suspicions that there was an anthill in the walls. Finally, I managed to pressure her into calling pest control (though it took a bit of drilling to make her give in). She finally called them, but I don’t really know the details on what happened after (pretty sure the ants are gone). If you’ve reached the end, thank you for your patience, this video just reminded me of that story.
Edit: I asked my mother about the ants and she said that while there was no evidence of an anthill in the walls, the ants haven’t shown up since.
Ants can be a real pain but easy to get rid of. Good thing you finally convinced her
@@Corrie-Lee I didn’t think they were too bad, but she hated them enough.
You mean to tell me, after all this typing, that you don't know the outcome? It's your mother for God's sake, not some stranger. How is this even possible?
@@snakedoktor6020 I know that the ants are gone, but I don’t really know if there was a hill in the walls or not. Besides, my mom just doesn’t really like talking about bugs.
Edit: You should try being a little bit nicer.
@@Z3r0_g You're probably right sir. Didn't mean to be un-nice, was just mystified. My sincere apologies.
When I was a kid in Des Moines, Iowa we had a ladybug infestation. It was winter so we think they came into the house for warmth. We came home and ALL ceilings of our house were coated so heavily in ladybugs that we couldn't even see the ceilings anymore.
2:25
I think a better joke would be, "Well that phone had quite a few bugs in it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like the original joke more...js🤷🤣
I’ve had 2 massive swarms
First one I had was a lady bug infestation that went to the point there was so many ladybugs on my porch i couldn’t even see my porch
My second one was when a horse died and millions of flies flew all over the place, it essentially had so many flies that some areas i couldn’t even see anymore because it was pure flies
and note i have a bug phobia, so it was hell
“Some say the bugs were provoked by the intrusion of humans into their natural habitat, that 'live and let live' is preferable to war with the bugs.”
59% of homes have bedbugs but only one in five people deal with them that adds up
Yeah it is statistical bullshit in this case but it is a pretty bad problem regardless.
This guy has the best voice for these videos still ,glad he's back
4:56
Me as someone who is terrified of spiders, I would say screw the house and throw gasoline everywhere and light a match
I’ve cried after encounters with spiders. 🕷
I wouldn't say I love most spiders, but I appreciate them, so I don't kill them. If I find one inside, and I don't want it here, I toss it outside.
I have dealt with cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas, mealybugs and fruit flies all by myself for years. I am a single woman, now 62, and have rid them all myself between my home and my mom's and a couple of friends. What the first thing to do is 'fog' the house with raid. One can per room. Make sure the drawers are open along with all the other things it says. Wash the sheets etc. Then you steam the house and furniture. You make sure you do the baseboards, cracks and crevices. I even removed them from the furniture with spraying and steaming. No, it cannot be done in one day. But you keep cleaning, steaming and spraying daily. Then put down Diatomaceous Earth. There is also a night light that has sticky paste paper in it. They are atrackted to the light. Another thing is put down a bowl of water. When they jump in the water they drown because they cannot get out. Why waste money on the expensive terminators when you can do it yourself allot cheaper. Same thing with bees and fly nests outside. You get a bucket of water, put a peice of wood with either peanut butter, cat food or something they are attracked to on the bottom of the board. Then when the bees or flies go under to eat it, from them going up and down, they hit the water and again drown because they cannot swim. Good luck.
My parents noticed a dark patch in their bedroom and it was a beehive 10 times bigger than the one shown in Brisbane...we are 100 klms north of there...They had honey dripping down every wall and the whole roof was infested. The room had to be rebuilt. Never seen so much honey in my life!!
pooh bear would have loved that lol
I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with bedbugs! I’ve heard they’re next to impossible to irradiate. Last summer my cat got fleas, and that was bad enough. Took months to get rid of
bed bugs can only be killed and controlled and solved as long as you catch them before the problem gets so out of hand to the point there everywhere and you can see them right in your view like roaches between roaches and bed bugs they hide and are hard to see when the infestation is small but when they get so out of control you can see them clear as day without needing to even look in the small hiding spots they start out in then you might have a problem getting rid of them
@@colynman i can refute that claim it actually can be handled if it gets out of control it just costs alot more me and my family had it bad once real bad maybe 1000 in the house but my stepmom paid $5000 usd in cash too get the house sprayed they did the carpet walls everything hot steamed the house and we had too put these mattress covers on our beds they go over the mattress and zip up but they did that for about 3 months but the problem was already gone about 2 but we had too also throw away all paper all our school items anything they could of been on so yea
My father had an bedbug infestation in 1990s when he was in college. He lived with 3 other siblings and his mother. they waited for 10 days without calling pest control. They killed them with poison and with hands for 10 days.
HEAT HEAT HEAT! Or... if you can't put extreme heat to the item, put it in the freezer for several days. Anything that can be washed in the washing machine, wash on HOT and dried at the highest setting.
Our exterminator used a heat gun and sprayed pesticide and I am SO GLAD to say that they were eradicated. We found them early though.
Yeah the smoke bombs on each floor got my investation of fleas under control
I love this channel... And it's good to see that this channel is about to hit a great milestone of 10M. ❤️❤️
I live in Minnesota and in the summertime by bodies of water you can get infestations of mayflies. At night they're attracted to light so they'll cover the entire window on the outside if there's a light on on the inside. So many on the sidewalks that you couldn't avoid stepping on them. There have been times they were so bad that they've used snow plows to remove them off of the bridges so that the cars won't get in accidents. I kid you not
For real?? We here in texas just have a ton of mosquitos
Yes we have these in the upper part of Michigan in the summer time. They are disgusting 🤮
Fun fact: mayflies emerge from their larval state with no mouths and don’t eat as adults. They use what energy stores they had from eating as larvae to fly around and mate, then the male dies while the female dive bombs into the water to die as she releases her eggs.
I'm not gonna lie. That clip of the ants is oddly satisfying to watch
@ 2:55 when he said "bluhht"
I laughed out loud. You don't expect that from such a serious voice 😂😂 in the midst of a video like this but it was absolutely fitting, and perfect lol
Me and my siblings stay with our moms house for the week, and we go to dads for the weekends, but for a few years, we had to deal with bedbugs at both places because dad got bedbugs first, but managed to get into our stuff when we go back to moms, we had to unfortunately deal with that for 2 years before they were all gone... so try to remove every bedbug as quick as possible before they infest your entire home.
Those stink bugs get EVERYWHERE here in MI. The apartment I used to live in wasn't sealed well at all so we always had stink bugs floating around. They'd die in the lights and collect, appear three inches from your face in the middle of the night, and my roommate said she had one fall into her mouth one night... They are so gross. Nothing you can do about it much either cause they're looking for the warm here, so they're auto-drawn to houses.
Omg. Noooo. I doubt that the poor roomie would never sleep below a light fixture again.
same here, stinkbugs are the worst and they are so invasive!
I've actually been in a house that had both bed bugs and roaches just about as bad the infestations in those videos.
Seems like weird scenario since roaches prey on bedbugs. sounds like a double horrible whammy
Same, my boyfriends house was like that and I had to stay there for a month and a half. It was unpleasant
One of my housemate few years back brought Bed Bugs into our apartment. She thought it was a good idea to host someone who have his own apartment infested by bed bugs... Yea you too find its dumb dumb, but she thought it was nice. I didnt knew about all of this obviously.
When I first discovered, I was watching a movie on my bed late at night just having a good time before bed, when all of a sudden I saw a freaking bed bug on my sheet. I knew by the look of it that a nightmare did started. I knew how a bed bug looked like, and I knew it was one. In a panic mode, I flipped my bed over just to see a freaking family of those stupid bugs full of blood. Thanks god, not at the extend of what we saw in the video. ( I would have pass away probably of heart attack )
I didnt knew what to do on the spot I was panicking... I couldnt do nothing because it was past 12h00am... So on the spot, I learned that when you kill those stupid bugs, it stink badly. I knew it because I killed all of those that I could saw, but I knew I could not killed them all. I wrapped my mattress of plastic bag and sealed it completely. (dont think it was that helpful tho lol)
The thing was I couldnt go somewhere else either because the last thing I wanted is to bring those nasty thing into a friends house or family member house. Well thats what normal people do, but not my housemate...
This was the worse night I had. In the morning of the following day I called the exterminator and called my parents crying. When I knew the situation was over, I moved away from that housemate as fast as possible, not knowing what the next chapter it could be. I didnt wanted to know either.
Turns out my housemate knew about the situation since the beginning. But she didnt thought it might be a good idea to notify me of the situation... She told me that she thought it would resolve by itself... lol
Neither her nor the man that was sleeping with her that brought the bugs with him took responsibility. I had to take the situation into hands myself being obviously the only normal person there. I had to call the exterminator and pay all of it. She never excuse herself to me nor the owner of the apartment. A complete useless person.
It was my last experience with a housemate. My trust just disappeared from this point.
Now I live alone in my apartment. No trouble, no bugs, no BS, no noise, no problem. Its paradise.
I still have nightmares about bugs and sometimes I might feel a hair and I have to look to confirmed its not a bug... I hope no one has to live this because it stays in your head for a long time.
15:10 I dont have words to describe the beauty of that beehive its wonderful these guys sjould be lucky because real honey is hard to come by. Funnily enough european bees are so tame and just entranced in their work with flowers you can even touch them whie theyre sitting on flowers and most of the time they wont give a fuck. Did it many times and only saw one bee so far that began pulsating its back to warn me. Probably its because we only hjave Bees that people kept for hundreds of years and trimed them on productivity and peacefulness
My friend in Patoka Indiana (it was on the news you could probably find the footage) had such a bad bee infestation that honey was dripping down the walls. I would go over there and we could watch honey pour down the walls like some horror movie, but instead of blood running from the walls it was honey. I'm also allergic to bees and wasps so I didnt realize how close I was to becoming the actual movie "my girl" until the experts tore into it. a 2 story building with the whole left side of the house becoming one honeycomb.
Plot twist.. the bees had nominated her the QUEEN. They also let you live because they saw how you treated her.
On the plus side your friend could probably make a killing selling honey
I moved into an apartment with them and they were the most hellish thing I’ve ever dealt with. And actually they can live up to 18 months without eating, not 5.
Sir don't burn down your house. 5:02 Oh wait now you can.
As a former rent a center employee i can say ive delivered to many many filthy bug infested hoarder houses couldnt even take a step with out roaches crunching under my feet
If you have a ant infestation you need to put boiling water on them you can put the boiling water on the trails of ants of the nest . You should probably put the boiling water on the nest so you should take them out for good.
Boiling water doesn’t work! We had them in our window frame an tried everything the only thing that worked was ant killer
Add dishwashing liquid to that boiling water, and you can kill any insect..! I use it on ants and wasps..
They will go on their own stop killing
I like how all of his thumbnails are never clickbait this guy is the best!
3:04 so am I the only one that saw that post-it note move by itself?? Damn these bedbugs.
Bed Bug: If I use this as shelter, no pest control can catch me!
For anyone interested in a low maintenance,small and cheap pet,Stink Beetles make surprisingly good pets if you don’t startle them.I prefer the bright green variant.
Omg highlighted?!
I felt my ear, foot, and neck itch at least 15 times watching this video just to see no insects and I was just imagining them. Wow.
I've seen the ladybug swarms a couple of times in Muir Woods. I'm a bit weird in that it didn't creep me out--it was fascinating. I got tons of photos, too. They gather like that for two reasons, preparing for winter, they gather by the tens of thousands to keep warm under leaf litter. The other reason is mating.
The effers BITE now, just saying. The Japanese ones, I think do.
I live in Georgia and when it was still cold, we had a large LadyBud problem. More or less, it was just a lot more then I I was comfortable with. They weren't that bad since the only Stade on the corners of my house and never really going anywhere other then that. I still find Laby bug corpses when I clean and it's been like a month and a half since they started coming
Ladybugs are good bugs. I would happily live with a ladybug infestation.
The stink bugs are annoying
Yeah that happens here in South East VA in the fall as well
I don’t get any ladybugs or infestations but I get the stink bugs that just show up on my wall every week or month
8:40 And this is one of the reasons why I'm planning on selling my current home and building a new one to move to...
The new home I'm designing will have concrete floor, walls and roof...no wood will touch the outside soil so no Termites will be able to infest and eat my home...
It's also HIGHLY Fire Resistant, so my Home Insurance Premiums should drop...WIN-WIN-WIN...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
When my daughter was in the hospital there was a huge bug infestation of grasshoppers i believe or something... It was crazy they were everywhere i could not walk normal going in and out because i couldn't step on one... The feeling is so creepy!
Something like that happened to us I’m Vegas too they were everywhere
I want to clarify one thing: harvestmen are not spiders, though they are arachnids.
I have had a yellow jacket infestation. I walked into my bedroom and it was like a horror movie, yellow jackets covered the walls. They had made a nest in the second floor bay window. We had to remove the entire window and seat area.
Wow! I thought I had seen it all. When I was a little kid I had an infestation of ladybugs that had accumulated on all four of my walls in my bedroom, I have told my parent that there is a bunch of ladybugs in my room and of course oh, my parents did not believe me. Until she came in herself and had never seen that many ladybugs in her entire life.
I veeeery much appriciate the heads up about the spider infestation. While it may not be the most disgusting one, I think I'd die of fear having to face that lol
We got rid of our spider and tick infestations by buying chickens......were gone in a couple of weeks.
15:15 Wow! That's a lot of honey!!! I'd say it was at least the most useful of the insects in the list
The harvestman one would be awesome 🥰 they're adorrable and one of my all time favourite creatures!
Love them!
I lived in a 99 year old apartment building up until 18 months ago, and we had roaches everywhere. I moved in, had no food, and still they came to eat the adhesive in my moving boxes. They came through the drains, through the power outlets, everywhere. And the stupid maintenance department would drill holes around the baseboards and below the fixtures and cabinets, supposedly so they could spray poison in there, but it was just creating more big access holes. It was amazing incompetence combined with the fact that the bugs probably had been breeding there in the dirt floor basement for a good 30 years. And then they had their bedbug issues, not me, somehow when all neighbors above below and next door had them, I didn't see a one. Godawful.
These stories were absolutely SHOCKING and scared the daylights out of me. I cannot handle any bug whatsoever. I am glad I live in a house that was brand new and in an area that's cold (did I seriously just write that) most of the year if that's what it's like to live in warmer or swampier areas. (guessing) That's the stuff nightmares are made of. Thank goodness these exterminator guys exist!!
Sorry, I would never date or marry one of these guys are anyone who lived in these places. 😱🤮
I was happy to hear they removed the bee hive and relocated them all. I respect bees so much I would not want to puposely hurt one of them.
About 40 years ago when I lived out in the country my home was infested with biting fleas. They were everywhere and on everything. I got a bag of Sevin dust and sprinkle it all over the house and left it for a while, vacuumed it up never had another flea or any other bug in that house again.
That stuff is illegal to buy here and is very dangerous. Just a friendly warning...
i have the most irrational fear of daddy-long legs and i have since i was a child, theres just something about the way they move and how quick and thin they are that terrifies me, seeing them in clumps like that on my playhouse as a kid always made me SHRIEK! and when i was much smaller i watched my mother peel up my older brothers batman posters to reveal HUNDREDS of stinkbugs piled together and *VERY* alive. nowadays im an entomologist enthusiast so when i find stinkbugs or anything like that of the sort that im certain arent poisoned, i just hold my pet mantid up to it like how you hold a cat up to a bug on the ceiling.
Terrified of spiders most of my life but the Daddy Long legs I was told do not bite, so I was oddly fine with those.
@@ekramer2478 they do bite but don’t hurt a lot
@@sheer_coolness Never once bitten. Were all over at my grandma's as a little kid.
@@ekramer2478 I’ve been bitten by one before, I think bitten because my finger was close to its mouth and I felt a little stinging sensation
@@sheer_coolness Ouch nods.
@11:30 Finding lady bug infestations are much more common, because usually they are the Asian beetle "lady" bugs. They are more orange in color than normal lady bugs (which are redder).
Has anyone noticed that almost every segment of this video has its title be an alliteration. (e.g. Bee Brave, Ant Attack, Cockroach Calamity, etc.) the only real exception is “The House of 100% Nope!”
Bed bugs are EXTREMELY difficult to get rid of! I was staying with my boyfriend who had both roaches and bed bugs and it was awful.. we ended up throwing everything into a metal garage because if bed bugs get to hot they die, and it was in Arizona which is up in the 100s during summer anyway
Yeah that is very unlikely to work on its own. You have to distribute the heat evenly. No metal cage is going to penetrate the center in that manner.
Yea well Arizona heat doesn’t kill bedbugs I don’t know what will
The honeybees hive looked great!
The other infestations did not!
Especially the bed bugs!
12:55 the Yellowjacket also acts like an annoying fly, stealing meatballs from people’s foods and steaks
Your reactions to the bugs in these homes makes these videos fantastic😵😱😨😲😳
My house in my old town had a wasp infestation most of the backyard had a huge wasp infestation we had to use both a blow torch and a hose
Hey love your videos, but the St Claire Shores locus aren't locus, they are Fish Flies, I work at an
Orthopedic Surgical office, and I have to use snow shovels to remove them from our doors and entrance ways each year around the same time, thanks!, that house was barely covered with the pics I have!
And they're as slick as ice, aren't they?
Getting the content of this is like having to do homework
but actually fun
I hate the misconception that bed bugs are ALWAYS caused by the person being dirty. Those things come straight from hell and they can live practically anywhere
I used to have a infestation of fleas in my home. We had an outdoor cat who we’d let back inside but she must’ve gotten fleas from the outdoors and soon it traveled to our dogs and then to us. I hated it so much, I’d have to fucking drown them and rip them apart.
They bit me so hard that I had itched my whole body and some parts had started to bleed. Eventually we moved out and our cat was outside whilst we moved so we never got to see her again. It’s likely that she’s dead or in a lovely home. I miss you, cocoa beans.
Any cats outside will bring in pests. Cats do not need to be outside. They are perfectly happy indoors. Terrible things happen to them or they kill song birds. Not taking the cat with you was just plain awful. He came home and wondered why everyone left him! They don't know what's going on. All they know is they are alone. He probably suffered A horrible death due to your irresponsible behavior. Shame on you.
every year during fall we get a bunch of stink bugs. Particularly in my old bedroom (i've moved to the basement) and it was horrible. I'd have them fly into my hair, i've had them under my pillow when trying to sleep, etc. Luckily it was mostly only in the fall tho
I know people would find this stuff revolting, like most of my family, but is it bad that I find this stuff absolutely fascinating?
No it’s not
I find it fascinating to
It is but wait until it happens to you
you know it can be both fascinating and revolting
In Kansas in my back porch window, I had an window infestation of the orange Japanese lady bugs,I think they wanted the warm, once I opened the window they left, but there were hundreds it was cool to see
love the biggest bug sitting on the bear on the beach at 6:12
One infestation that happened every few years in my hometown of Winnipeg (in Canada) was Tent Caterpillars (sometimes called Army Worms). They're moth larva, & swarm by the billions some years, eating anything leafy in sight, covering entire trees & bushes with their webbing like something out of a horror film. Looks eerie & amazing. The plants surprisingly get through the experience with little trouble & just regrow their leaves once the invasion is done in a couple of weeks.
I always try to spare a hunting spider when I see one cause they keep insect and other spider populations in check so long as you only see one or two. Venus flytraps help too. I had one where a hunting spider apparently tried crawling over the leaves and that was all. Though you do need to clean the exoskeletons around the plant from time to time.
I let a spider stay in my moms bathroom corner above the mirror for a few weeks and then one night, I went in and saw a bunch of baby spiders everywhere😭
I have made great experience with Pinguicula if you want a carnivorous plant that isn't too picky to care for. Drosera also works with sticky leaves, but it a bit more tricky in care.
With Pinguicula you basically only water them that much they always have 'wet feet' and give them high sun. They don't need more. When placed at a window in the kitchen for example, they will catch flies, moths, fruit flies and small bugs.
Where I live we call stink bugs, shield bugs… and I honestly kind of like them.😌
Stink bugs are my phobia
I get 20 a day in my room in the summer omg do I hate them I legit have PTSD from them ughhh
everyone who has had a bed bug infestation knows with getting rid of them either takes awhile or alot of money or in some cases both
5:48 just a small observation, Spiders (and all other Arachnids) are Arthropods, not Insects. and for me, personally, are much better to deal with than insects. i get very uncomfortable near any insect (to the point that even the most beautiful and colorful butterflies make me uneasy around them), but spiders are completely fine by me, i just go about my day as if they weren't even there. i would much rather deal with 10 spiders a day than a single cockroach every week.
We have quite a few stinkbugs around all the time, but never like in this video! We used to live where we'd get swarmed every single fall by thousands of lady bugs. They eventually disappeared (under the siding, probably), but we'd find groups in corners of our ceilings.
Every time I see a ladybug in my house, I gently scoop it up and bring it outside on a plant with aphids. And there's always plants with aphids. If I go to look after them a few hours later, the ladybugs are most often still there munching on the aphids and often also stay for a few days if the weather allows.
