You are an absolutely life saver! Vincennes is infested! At some point in the towns history, authorities couldn't legally stop businesses, but they highly encouraged shut downs until the bed bug problems are resolved. I was the victim of a fold couch i bought at a local 2nd hand store! They goyt in my music equipment to! Gretsch , fender guitars, banjos and even my bass instruments! With your advice, im 3 weeks in and NO BITES! I WAS GETTING BIT EVERY NIGHT! MY DUFF SIG SERIES BASS, I FOUND BED BUG YUMMY WHERE THE NECK BOLTS TO THE GUTAR BODY! THAT INSTRUMENT alone is 1300 dollar guitar! I wouldn't have made it without your videos! I still get PAINFUL GHOST ITCHES, from bites that already healed months ago! Oh my lord! I would NOT wish bed bugs even on my worst enemy!
I'm commenting in case any one is in a similar situation. We started seeing bites on one of my kids towards the end of January. We tore the furniture apart trying to find something, but never saw anything but bites for weeks on end, and it started happening to our other child (and me once). We dusted Cimexa because we simply didn't know what we were dealing with (we also assumed fleas because of the wildlife in our yard all the time). Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, we see an adult bug on the couch. Crossfire was ordered and applied on the 14th of this month. While applying the CF, we found a dead nymph on our sticky trap under the couch. Since then, we have found a few very dead 🎉 bugs. We plan to re-treat around the four week mark just in case. All this to say-sometimes you can have them and they not harbor in furniture anywhere. We assume they're harbored in our baseboards in the living room. Even our box springs were all devoid of any signs when we treated. Sneaky little effers. I hate them 😂
I'm a poverty-stricken poor man who has been hit with disaster. I might get evicted, become homeless and loose everything. Because I've got a very strict and mean apartment manager. If anything goes wrong, I get the blame as if everything is my fault. I admit that my apartment gets dirty and I have lots of clutter. But anybody can get these evil things. It has nothing to do with how clean or dirty you are. Also has nothing to do with how cluttered or uncluttered you are. People have all sorts of false myths about bed bugs and want to blame you for it all.
STILL Battling bed bugs going on 2 years. One exterminator was coming out and the guy was NOT inspecting or spraying under the box springs. After 3 or 4 months of NOT doing what he should have, he showed us underneath the box springs and there were over a thousand under the mattress. I got rid of this exterminator and told them why. What a waste. I am so frustrated, and am going with a very well known exterminator company. WE Shall see how it goes, so tired of these damn things
What is worst when you live with others who don't trust ake it seriously and have people coming and going day and night. All too poor to do anything and a landlord that ignores it and is protected by the law to be a slumlord.
Hi Jason! I’ve been watching all of your videos on bed bugs and I feel confident about how to tackle the treatment however, how should I prepare for treatment? Should I vacuum the mattress and box spring, baseboards etc. before treatment or after? How frequently?
The part i don't understand is how insect develop resistance. If a product is effective that means it kills all the bugs. So, then, how can they reproduce insects on which the product no longer works? Thanks in advance, Jason.
If you spray a pesticide and it kills 80 out of 100. It doesn’t mean the 20 weren’t exposed it means genetically they were born with a resistance to the pesticide. People develop resistance to various things too like penicillin. So the 20% that live pass on that genetic resistance to their babies and after a few generations they become completely immune to the chemicals used.
There's a house next to me that had bedbugs. No one has lived there since September 2023. The heat is set to 59°. A mix of borax, baking soda, and DE was left on the carpet. How soon would you say it's safe to rent out without any bedbugs living in there? No air conditioning will be on this summer.
I'm in Canada and can't get crossfire anywhere here, I've used DE and RAID and 90% of the bed bugs are gone, but I'm still getting bit, is there anything that works just as well or am i screwed?
@@banzaiiTreeX Nope, pretty much the only thing that doesn't require a license are a bunch of different types of pyrethroids both natural and synthetic, DE and Cimexa (not the same brand but the same active ingredient). 99% of the actually effective insecticides (like crossfire) are banned in Canada for no reason. The last thing I'm trying is Beauveria bassiana, it's the same active ingredient in Aprehend but it's a much weaker strain because it's the only one that's legally allowed without a special license and training. Aprehend/bedbug treatments from companies are $1,200+ per treatment per month on a yearly contract :(
Hi there. I really hope you see this and can give me some peace of mind. I've been follwoing your videos for almost two weeks now and you even covered my reddit post on a live. We sprayed crossfire on Tuesday and im pretty sure ive been getting bit since then. And for the first time ever today i found blood spots on my sheets. Please, is this normal? Its really been effecting my mental health and i can't stop stressing. I know it's only been a few days but the problem seems worse since spraying even though we haven't found anything but two dead bugs last week.
I finally got hit with the bug in my 400 sq ft studio apartment. It’s getting treated on Tuesday with a follow up two weeks later. I have a trip planned the day after my second treatment. Should I reconsider or should I be alright as long as I heat treat all my clothes I’m taking and bag it up night before or morning of my trip? Been mentally debating this all week
Hey Jason! I commented on a video from a couple months ago but I'm not sure if you saw it. My peat control guy said to only do a half mixture because the space we are treating is small. I saw your response to someone that 57.5 oz water is "half" and I'm confused how it wouldn't be 64? He is trying to avoid us wasting SO much since he recommends a re-treat in a few weeks. Can you help me with this confusion please?
It’s 115 oz of water + 13oz of crossfire = 128 oz/1 gallon final mix. Half of 115oz water is 57.5oz water. Also just make a whole gallon to avoid confusion with mixing.
I have only seen a bug in my car my friend has them and she gave us a fan and soon after we saw one on our car this was about a month ago we vacuumed the whole car 4 times since absolutely I wiped the seats down with alcohol after this was about 4 days ago two days ago I saw what looks to be a baby one in my car I ordered crossfire It’s coming today I want to treat the house and the car today..But the Orkin came to spray for roaches will that stop the treatment of crossfire
Jason, i hope you see this. I cant buy crossfire. It says , on amazon link, that it cant be shipped to my sddress. The same this happened with walmart. I dont understand why.
I'm in Asia. Couldn't get hold of crossfire anywhere. Amazon doesn't allow me to ship over so I went eBay .... I ended up paying $80+ USD for a 13oz crossfire (including shipping) but I would still think it's worth it.

That is true. They do not evolve out of thin air.

I have one room, my university room. I don’t have the budget to buy the sprayer. Can I still use a cheap sprayer? Will it still work?
Most people use a cheap sprayer
_Use the cheap sprayer, but find a good carburetor guy to adjust the spray nozzle pattern._ 💦💦💦 - j q t -
If i have bed bugs in my apartment will my neighbors get them? If my neighbors get them will i be able to get rid of them.
Looking forward to Thursday, I have a question about the 7 dust label, have a customer sprinkling it on her fruit/vegetable garden

That form of pest control will kill nothing at all

It can take up to a month or so for all the bed bugs to die from the pesticides
@GreenAkersPC Whats funny is I know that, but these things have a way of making me feel defeated. Thanks so much for responding and the peace of mind.

Will Crossfire stain the mattress and void the warranty?
Bed bugs will void a warranty
You have to do this a least monthly if not weekly good stuff but I still did D earth I dont see anything now but I am OCD and do it all the time

It's because some states don't let you buy it, same in England and Canada.

@@wapos88 its expensive but worth it !
Do you recommend treating your car as well with crossfire? Could they be harboring there as well with fabric seats
