A couple of years ago you walked me through treating my sons wood bunk beds, while my husband was deployed. I will never forget how much you helped us. I used a old baby bottle to measure out crossfire. It worked amazingly. I also used the same one for treating my moms home and again worked great. I followed the directions on the lable, read them over and over. Thank you again for helping me in one of the hardest times of my life. Still donate to your patron to this day.
I have a kid's wooden bunk bed I'm trying to treat right now and there always seems to be more of them even after I swear I got every nook and cranny. Is there a video on treating wooden frame bunk beds specifically like that? Do I need to disassemble the bed or something? I've sprayed it down 2 times now, been through 3 of the small Crossfire bottles in total, and I just don't understand how they're surviving. I'm about to do another spray of it with my 4th bottle, and I'm just at a loss here. And yes I watched the whole video, I am mixing the entire bottle into a 1 gallon pressure sprayer (the cheaper one on your Amazon affiliate link), so I know I'm mixing it right like you said to. Anyway, I've been awake all night, so sorry if this has been poorly written.
@@Will_Forge I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with the bugs. I know 1st hand how frustrating it can be. I know this is a month old and hopefully you have finally rid yourself of those little demons, but I would highly recommend taking the bunk beds apart and spraying every inch with the crossfire. I was absolutely amazed at the tiniest cracks they can live/hide in. Take the furniture apart and spray. I found them in the screw holes on my daughters bed frame. I hope you got rid of them and you are finally sleeping.
I’ve used it with my pest control company in Iowa and absolutely love it! I’ve had phenomenal results and thus far, no call backs. I’ve been doing this business for 23 years and love the business! Keep up the great work!
I am doing my second treatment of crossfire and will be treating all furniture as well and if i have left over i will be doing my car as well. You are a heaven sent thank you so much you have saved my sanity and my son. We are both diabetic and he is autistic. This has helped us so much!! Many blessings to you and the amazing work you do for your customers and those of us who gotta do it ourselves cause we are low income!! Ty so much ❤
I am autistic and we have a group home next to ours. One day they moved out over night and it was extremely odd. I emptied their trash next to ours that was old and mowed their lawn. We started getting bit and saw some. We treated the other day. Hopefully we are successful, our case was very mild.
Thank you so much New subscriber just had to pay $3,000 for one bed bug treatment crossfire and it got every single one of them they took off my light socket switches and sprayed into my walls and I never seen another one I thank you so much for all the information you have given me at the time I couldn't or didn't know I could buy crossfire I think you so much for leaving us with this information May God bless you in so many ways thank you again
That was my ? About the walls because I am dealing with a infestation that has been going on for years. The landlord intentionally move people I without telling them about this problem
Love the channel , keep it up . Pest controlling in UK. Bed bugs definitely on the increase . Had a difficult bed bug job at a commercial premises , bed bugs moving about after a treatment but not all killed. I used filter papers in a test tube , treated each filter paper with a different chemical we used , allowed to dry then placed each filter paper in a different test tube .. Placed some live bugs from site in the test tubes with the different treated filter papers , put tubes in warm environment and waited 48 hours. Some tubes with some chemicals didn't even slow them down there was a resistance issue. The tubes with dead bugs in after 48 hours where the the chemicals we then used ie no resistance . Resistance is a real issue now , not encountered before but certainly aware now . Worth trying if a treatment fails

The Concentrate WORKS. The aerosol version- not so much. I found the cans to actually be a waste of money, personally. I only need a half gallon but mix the full gallon and split it with the adjoining apartment. Fortunately this helps us both not to waste the product. The first time I dumped half a gallon. Then we had a chat and he was doing the same thing. We worked it out for preemptive applications at every 6 weeks or so. Thanks for all the advice- extremely helpful.
I went to my Dad's house in December, and he had a bad bed bug infestation. He fumigated, and I walked into his house for 5 minutes, and low and behold, I dragged some of those little devils to my home. So I went to the Home Depot and bought some Ortho bed bug killer, and so far so good. I don't want to speak too soon, but I all of the reviews are good. GOD bless!!
I also used the Ortho Bed bug and flea killer, in the gallon jug, with the battery operated wand. Did first treatment 10 days ago, and have only seen 1 live one since, but a dozen dead ones. Second treatment in 4 days, per the instructions on the Ortho. I pulled the dust covers off the bottom of the 2 boxsprings in the affected bedrooms, and totally doused all over. Then once that dried, I encased in bedbug protector encasements.
We have been dealing with these for months since my husband came home from a men's conference. A friend who has worked for pest control for 12 years told us to treat with tempo. We are no longer getting bit and do not see any signs of them anymore. We have been spraying weekly for 4 weeks, bought interceptors for our bed and sofa, and have taken all clothing and curtains out of the house. It gets washed and dried on high heat before coming back into the home each week when we spray. Buttttt I saw one today. What in the world are we doing wrong...?? We have decluttered, and do not even have our every day clothes in the house so they can't hide in them. We can't find where they're hiding.
I tried crossfire after watching your last video on it and all I can say is that it's a godsend! Before using crossfire I tried DE, I had powder all over my apartment and I was still getting bit, not to mention how ugly it is having white powder all over your home. Since using crossfire I haven't had one bite.... Thank you ❤️
Great video and explanations! Unfortunately, there are some cases where it doesn't work, like mine. I have asked the supplier and they advised me to apply it every 2 weeks, if I still get bites. I have been doing this for the past 2 months and there is no improvement. I am not brining them from anywhere else and I have mixed it as per your instructions, applying it on furniture, bed and cravices. Not sure why it is not working :( I feel defeated at this point :(
Unfortunately, now - none :( . At the beginning, a few months ago, I was seeing 3-4 per night (on the bed, in the pillow case and going behind a painting). I brought an exterminator, who used a substance called Foval (based on Cipermetrin) 2 times and then I didn't see any of them, but the bites just continued. This is why I decided to use Crossfire on my own.
I actually used crossfire today for my apartment. I got the 13 oz. bottle and a gallon sprayer. I knew I wasn’t going to use all of it. So I was going to mix half. Then I said nah. I better mix the whole bottle . After watching this video I’m glad I did. And didn’t do half.
Day 2 had 1 bug crowl across me but I did spray again once waiting for Day 3 so far have not seen any yet this is Tom I'll let you know how good day 3 has done
I'm in a apartment and they coming tomorrow to use aprehend, not my choice I would opt for the crossfire after watching some of your videos. So I'm stuck with what they use, I did mention crossfire to them. On another note, in apartments I don't know what my neighbors are doing or bringing in. I take off my shoes at the door, keep slippers on hand for any guests. I don't flush toilet paper it goes in a bathroom trash can but most people I have noticed don't take those measures. Guess what I'm trying to say is being in a apartment, and I'm not dissin this apartment, it's one of the better ones I have been in much worse but any apartment puts one at a disadvantage of sorts.
This is one of the best instructions on Crossfire I've ever heard. What you said does make sense. I have a neighbor that refuses to use the right stuff. He tries Hot Shot, Harris, alcohol, witch hazel, borax, and other homemade concoctions. I snuck in and actually used some of my stuff in his house. Now Crossfire is out of stock alot. Can Tempo SC, Wisdom TC, or Bedlam work that's easier to find?
been in the industry for 28 yrs and going. the biggest drawback is customers shaking their heads up and down that they understand they will see a few bedbugs after treatment. you have given them all the paperwork and walked them by hand as they google every word you say. they swear on a stack of bibles they understand only to get a call about 7 pm that they saw two and not happy.
Hi everyone. Did you know BB’s bite dogs and cats? I found the answer by accident. Many flea and tick medicines don’t work. Revolution does work. Please treat your animals as they are drawing the BB’s into all areas of your home. The bites are also extremely painful. My hope is that the word goes far and wide. The idea of animals getting tortured by these bugs is so upsetting. I also think this would be a great idea for a video!
I work at a place that has bed bugs, i found one crawling on me one day ,i showered and dryed my vlothes immediately and when i hot home i went to my back yard and stripped off my clothes and left them outside ,will any bed bugs crawl into my house from the vlothes outside ? Im freaking out over finding one on me ,also its been less than 2 weeks since this happened ,how long before i notice any beds in my house if i fid bring one or more home
Do you still recommend only mixing a gallon of crossfire? I thought I heard a more recent video where you say it’s ok to mix half. Can you explain how this can be done correctly? I’ve been splitting up the mixture and worried now this is causing the product to be less effective… still dealing with bites after two treatments (1/2 gallon each) approximately one month total since using crossfire. How long before I should re-treat? I have a small 80 sq ft one bed single family home. Thanks for the info!
I’ve just been using crossfire first 2 weeks a dramatic drop in bites then into week 3 started to get bitten again not on the same level but not 100% gone should I Jason give it another go ?
@@GreenAkersPC hi Jason thanks for your reply to my question it’s much appreciated I will do just that your doing a fine job on here helping others thank you
Love your channel sooo much. I know your not a dermatologist or anything but i’m almost 80% sure all my bed bugs are gone since crossfire. However, i’m getting hives that come and go away within 15 minutes. Where as the bed bug bites i had stayed for weeks until they went away. Could the pesticide being doing this or it’s probably still bed bug bites? like i said i know your not a dermatologist but if you know or have any idea to why i get these short term hives i would like to know.
Ive never heard of anyone having a skin irritation from the pesticides I use....I guess there is always a chance. Kinda how some people are allergic to peanuts while others have no issue
I had the same issue when I had bed bugs over a decade ago. I had been having the house sprayed by an exterminator every month for over a year because I still had whelps on me. I finally realized the rashes were no longer bed bug bites but hives. I began to suspect it was due to an allergy so I experimented with a long time medication I had been on. I would stop taking it and the hives would clear up. Then I would start taking them again and the hives would return. The doctor prescribed something else and the hives never returned. It is my theory that the bed bug bites set off my immune system until it began to recognize the medication I was taking as an enemy. Up until that time I taken that medication for years with no problem.
How long after treating s mattress woth crossfire and you put the sheets and sleep on it? Do you have to vaccum the mattress to scoop up any dead bed bugs before adding your sheets and sleeping on it?
When can I steam clean again after using crossfire? Would steam cleaning clean off the residue??? Also, can I use a regular spray bottle crossfire or does it have to be a b&g sprayer?
@@GreenAkersPC Hey Jason, your channel is amazing- I'm in the UK and was in the process of doing a makeover at my moms place for her getting out of hospital- painted and laminate floored the living room, and only when started decluttering and cleaning the upstairs bedrooms I discovered she has bedbugs, very mild AFAIK though I need to set up traps.... the walls need sugar soaped and painted so should I just crack on and do this- take off ceiling roses, sockets and switches, blow them out and once the painting has been done treat with CF which is on order from Amazon? These damn things have screwed my already tight schedule.... It's been double edged as she has furniture I wanted to ditch and now I can justify doing so....
I dont really have crossfire in India. I am using diatomaceous earth but came across multiple of your videos asking not to because of health concerns. Could you please provide a suggestion for a good pesticide?
Just bought a home but can’t move in because of roaches and bedbugs smh. I was told temprid and merit will kill both…is that true? Or just get crossfire? This empty house almost ruined me! Plz help bc you seem to be the goat
I kept getting this rash during the night and 10 or 15 mins after I would be up it would go away, that night I'd go to bed and the same thing then it started to skip a night or 2 so I didn't think it was bed bugs but then that only happened about 3 or 4 times then I was getting bit just sitting on my bed so I ripped everything off my bed and checked my box springs and I'll be damned if I didn't have bed bugs so don't let anybody tell you that the bites don't come and then go and then come right back bc they do, I thought I was going crazy but no, it really does happen.
@@GreenAkersPC Yes agreed. I was just thinking of getting a half gallon container, putting in 6.5 oz Crossfire, and then fill with water. But, damn!...thank you for actually responding. I see you respond to folks a lot. I'm really amazed.
After professional treatment, when can you spray for a preventative treatment. Is there a time frame so that spraying doesn't interfere with the professional treatment?
I have been watching your vids religiously. My first bottle of crossfire was delivered this week. Not cheap for UK customers. I had to convert US measurements to UK measurements but no biggie. I sprayed yesterday. You probably have answered this question before a mil times but could you just confirm when I should do the next treatment, is it 3 or 4 weeks? Did not get bitten last night. But the wife found one on her today. Another question, how long can I use crossfire for. I have no issues spending the money. My father lives with me as he very elderly and in his bedroom the signs of bedbugs are more obvious. But it is difficult to treat his room. As he is set in his ways and it does not effect him at all.
I had a terrible, itching, burning, blisters after bites. And I'm a 4th generation logger and I get poison all every year. In places where you don't want and shouldn't have poison ivy, oak and sumac and I'd take that over all of my body over these fukkers bites any day of the week. They last for almost 2 weeks and only thing helped was Benadryl and Ice to numb it. I tried tech nu oak and ivy for forestry workers, ivy rest everything and nothing works at all but ice and Benadryl. It cause so much stress and no sleep for days at a time. I had to take way more of it than I should just to get a few hours sleep wrapping ice packs around my legs and arms with Ace bandages like a mummy. And others don't even know they got bit. Idk how but it happens. My immune system does not like it at all. I'll get ivy and be fine in a day or 2. Wash with bleach and alcohol and ok. And if I get on face, privates, butt I get a shot and that helps so much. I feel for anyone who has this issue. And we had to do all this work 2 weeks before Xmas with 2 lil ones. It was very hard. But Jason told me what yo do and I did it exactly, and another tip is to check the cracks and crevices in your place. I had quite a few and after sealing them up with foam or caulking it was alot better, then spray crossfire and it's gone. Hang in there and stop all from coming over and going over yourself until you know exactly where and who has them. It's not worth the BS over family or friends. Sorry but until it's gone I'm gone. If not it'll be a long lasting issue.
I have sand fleas I believe that resemble a jigger flea that I didn’t know was supposed to be in North America especially in Minnesota were I am having trouble there cocoons are hard as rocks and the borrow in to every thing they seem indestructible what do I do
Hi, I have bedbugs and I can't kill them. I washed all bedding, steamed with an iren steam and sprayed with the bedbug killer. They keep biting me. I have animals in my studio, I won't like to use chemistry, could I kill them just by washing and steaming? I couldn't find even one of them but they kept biting me . Please help.
It really just depends on the level of prep the customer has made. I have two tomorrow and I figure on adding at least 3 hours to the route for the work
I ordered a leather jacket from Etsy. It was used. All I had to pay for was shipping. They started appearing a month later. Needless to say, I torched that jacket. Now I only buy new. I saw one today that hadn't fed for so long that the blood was black when I mashed it. The last time I saw a bedbug was a month ago. Should I retreat just to be safe?
So what happens if ur exposed to them everyday and can't get away from it for instance u don't drive and have no choice but to allow ir kids to use the bus or u work with a company who refuses to belive there is a problem and won't treat but u need the money like is there a way to keep them from coming into ur house or can u just continually use crossfire cause we tried it all the alpine wsg the cross fire even general which I know isn't for bed bugs but it was a thought
We are currently dealing with them and I asked a pest control guy what to do with the remainder-- he said to only mix half because the area we are treating is small.... is it REALLY that hard to mix it correctly doing only half? We cannot afford him to come treat so thats why im asking...
hi! i was wondering if using hotshot foggers works or if it makes it worse? ive seen some people saying it makes it worse. i plan on using crossfire soon. another question i have is should i quit the diatomaceous earth treatment if i am using crossfire?
Can i use a spray bottle to spray crosefire or do i have use a pump spray? How long do i have to wait before it is safe to enter my home after using crossfire? Would one 13 oz bottle of crossfire work on my 2 story house? What is your live skype number so i can ask questions? Thank you
Cold or warm water to mix crossfire? Reason I ask that question because something’s you mix with water. For example Like warm water will help activate certain things
I would look at other possible infestations that aren’t bed bugs…if you have actual live bed bugs captured then I would assume you’re bringing them somewhere pretty regularly. Maybe a friend, family member or even work.
We work from home, house came with them. We have caught many. Just not for a while. No guests. Bites are same so assumption is they are same. Could we chat less publicly?
How soon can you let pets and children back in the house after a treatment. Should I do anything after a treatment to make things safe for kids and pets
What do you do if your don't see the bed bugs? I liked everywhere for 2 weeks I cannot find the nest. I only seen a few bed bugs in the last 2 weeks doing crossfire this week, but I cannot find the nest to eliminate it
I’ve used crossfire followed your instructions I used bedlam and cimexa and nothing is killing them. I can’t afford to hire someone for apprehend so how can I use it? I think these bedbugs are super bugs and it’s just not killing them, I even broke down and got a steam machine and used it on the whole house. I haven’t seen one but only evidence of them but it feels like a horrible infestation. I am going to do a second dose tomorrow. I know they are in my car too but I sprayed my car too. I don’t know where they could be coming back from. I truly need help I’m in hell
I was told that mixing pesticides can have a chemical reaction. You can have 2 products that'll kill bedbugs used by themselves, but hardly do anything if mixed. Permethrin 10 & Tempo SC is a good example of this. Also, if you spray a chemical on top of what a professional has put down, what they sprayed can be less effective.
I used it last year it work but i had 1/4left from it so can i still use it cuz i gt bit agaonn last week i no it bugs again but where they come from or did they not kill all ?
No cannot use it after a year as label indicates within 24 hrs. It's questionable if it would still be effective. As for them coming back after that long then it's a reinfestation and not the same initial ones.
Not a professional. But if mold is all through the house then you need to find out where the moisture is and stop that. Then if it’s done structural damage that will have to be replaced. And if it’s just superficial then you can clean/kill it with bleach or white vinegar. Don’t mix them. Just pick one. And wear gloves and a mask. And throw everything that was used to clean up the mold away
I have a question Jason. I live in a double wide mobile home, ( I dont know the square footage), for sure, do you think I may need two 13 oz bottles instead of one, to completely treat my house? Just want to make sure I have enough for the job. Thank you so much for all of your great information.
I can treat a 7 bedroom house with one finished gallon of crossfire pesticide. You don’t treat the whole floor or walls or anything like that you just treat furniture and cracks
I am trying crossfire today before calling anyone. We have them in one room and have cleaned top to bottom, thrown out mattress and have seen a few stragglers. But today we are going to spray with the crossfire exactly as Jason said. Fingers crossed.
After I seen bedbugs on new clothes at a Walmart I shop for clothes with sealable plastic bags for the clothes and go hot wash and extra dry them before it goes home besides no visitors no deliveries nothing comes inside without being cleaned now we need a global day for bedbug treatment Globally United Against BedBugs make it a Global Health Solution Effort 😢 these things are a Absolute Nightmare 😢 😭 ☠️
Unlike most of you, i wish i had bed bugs. my friend think i have them too but there is no evidence of any. i have had bed bug covers on mattress, box spring and pillows for many years. i just purchased crossfire and willing to give that a try. i hope it works for something other than bed bugs. Come August, i will be one consecutive year of being bitten.
@@GreenAkersPC this scared me. This was my last resort and it was a God sent. I have a question. Are there scientists/people trying to find a way to eliminate them permanently? Do you think there will be a day that happens, since they're so adaptable? 🤔

I tried crossfire after watching your last video on it and all I can say is that it's a godsend! Before using crossfire I tried DE, I had powder all over my apartment and I was still getting bit, not to mention how ugly it is having white powder all over your home.
Since using crossfire I haven't had one bite.... Thank you ❤️
Yes DE is nasty stuff and doesn’t even work. Glad crossfire worked out for you!
Great video and explanations! Unfortunately, there are some cases where it doesn't work, like mine. I have asked the supplier and they advised me to apply it every 2 weeks, if I still get bites. I have been doing this for the past 2 months and there is no improvement. I am not brining them from anywhere else and I have mixed it as per your instructions, applying it on furniture, bed and cravices. Not sure why it is not working :( I feel defeated at this point :(
How many bed bugs are you seeing a day
Unfortunately, now - none :( . At the beginning, a few months ago, I was seeing 3-4 per night (on the bed, in the pillow case and going behind a painting). I brought an exterminator, who used a substance called Foval (based on Cipermetrin) 2 times and then I didn't see any of them, but the bites just continued. This is why I decided to use Crossfire on my own.
I actually used crossfire today for my apartment. I got the 13 oz. bottle and a gallon sprayer. I knew I wasn’t going to use all of it. So I was going to mix half. Then I said nah. I better mix the whole bottle . After watching this video I’m glad I did. And didn’t do half.
Thank you for giving us this information.
Thank you for watching
Congratulations for the 20K !!!
Thank you. Only 5 years ago I had 1k lol
Day 2 had 1 bug crowl across me but I did spray again once waiting for Day 3 so far have not seen any yet this is Tom I'll let you know how good day 3 has done
I'm in a apartment and they coming tomorrow to use aprehend, not my choice I would opt for the crossfire after watching some of your videos. So I'm stuck with what they use, I did mention crossfire to them. On another note, in apartments I don't know what my neighbors are doing or bringing in. I take off my shoes at the door, keep slippers on hand for any guests. I don't flush toilet paper it goes in a bathroom trash can but most people I have noticed don't take those measures. Guess what I'm trying to say is being in a apartment, and I'm not dissin this apartment, it's one of the better ones I have been in much worse but any apartment puts one at a disadvantage of sorts.
Aprehend is great
This is one of the best instructions on Crossfire I've ever heard. What you said does make sense. I have a neighbor that refuses to use the right stuff. He tries Hot Shot, Harris, alcohol, witch hazel, borax, and other homemade concoctions. I snuck in and actually used some of my stuff in his house. Now Crossfire is out of stock alot. Can Tempo SC, Wisdom TC, or Bedlam work that's easier to find?
I’ve never run into a crossfire shortage
been in the industry for 28 yrs and going. the biggest drawback is customers shaking their heads up and down that they understand they will see a few bedbugs after treatment. you have given them all the paperwork and walked them by hand as they google every word you say. they swear on a stack of bibles they understand only to get a call about 7 pm that they saw two and not happy.
Yup, it’s like talking to a wall. So annoying
I bought alpine before I found your channel. So far, so good. If they make a comeback, I'll buy the crossfire
Hi everyone. Did you know BB’s bite dogs and cats? I found the answer by accident. Many flea and tick medicines don’t work. Revolution does work. Please treat your animals as they are drawing the BB’s into all areas of your home. The bites are also extremely painful. My hope is that the word goes far and wide. The idea of animals getting tortured by these bugs is so upsetting.
I also think this would be a great idea for a video!
I was told they don't bite animals
I have no bugs like that but thanks RUclips for my midnight listening material 😂😂👍
I work at a place that has bed bugs, i found one crawling on me one day ,i showered and dryed my vlothes immediately and when i hot home i went to my back yard and stripped off my clothes and left them outside ,will any bed bugs crawl into my house from the vlothes outside ? Im freaking out over finding one on me ,also its been less than 2 weeks since this happened ,how long before i notice any beds in my house if i fid bring one or more home
It sounds to me like you did everything I do to prevent them. You probably didn’t bring anything home
Dude with that title you had me nervous. I thought they grew an immunity towards it already.
Lol love the click bait
I thought the very same thing lol
An easier way to do it might be to buy a gallon of spring water and remove 13 oz of water. Pour that into sprayer then add Crossfire.
Great videos, you're fun to watch. Giving us the information to make it happen. Please continue🙂
Do you still recommend only mixing a gallon of crossfire? I thought I heard a more recent video where you say it’s ok to mix half. Can you explain how this can be done correctly? I’ve been splitting up the mixture and worried now this is causing the product to be less effective… still dealing with bites after two treatments (1/2 gallon each) approximately one month total since using crossfire. How long before I should re-treat? I have a small 80 sq ft one bed single family home. Thanks for the info!
I’ve just been using crossfire first 2 weeks a dramatic drop in bites then into week 3 started to get bitten again not on the same level but not 100% gone should I Jason give it another go ?
I usually tell people who aren’t professionals and trying to DIY to treat once monthly for 3 months
@@GreenAkersPC hi Jason thanks for your reply to my question it’s much appreciated I will do just that your doing a fine job on here helping others thank you
The best thing or way to spray your outlets?
Love your channel sooo much. I know your not a dermatologist or anything but i’m almost 80% sure all my bed bugs are gone since crossfire. However, i’m getting hives that come and go away within 15 minutes. Where as the bed bug bites i had stayed for weeks until they went away. Could the pesticide being doing this or it’s probably still bed bug bites? like i said i know your not a dermatologist but if you know or have any idea to why i get these short term hives i would like to know.
Ive never heard of anyone having a skin irritation from the pesticides I use....I guess there is always a chance. Kinda how some people are allergic to peanuts while others have no issue
i have the same issue
I had the same issue when I had bed bugs over a decade ago. I had been having the house sprayed by an exterminator every month for over a year because I still had whelps on me. I finally realized the rashes were no longer bed bug bites but hives. I began to suspect it was due to an allergy so I experimented with a long time medication I had been on. I would stop taking it and the hives would clear up. Then I would start taking them again and the hives would return. The doctor prescribed something else and the hives never returned.
It is my theory that the bed bug bites set off my immune system until it began to recognize the medication I was taking as an enemy. Up until that time I taken that medication for years with no problem.
Thanks for sharing this video crossfire work for me thanks blessed
Thanks for providing the link for the Amazon products I’ll make sure to buy it off of your Amazon store
Good info!
How long after treating s mattress woth crossfire and you put the sheets and sleep on it? Do you have to vaccum the mattress to scoop up any dead bed bugs before adding your sheets and sleeping on it?
When can I steam clean again after using crossfire? Would steam cleaning clean off the residue??? Also, can I use a regular spray bottle crossfire or does it have to be a b&g sprayer?
Don’t steam clean for at least a month and a gallon sprayer from Walmart, some people claim work.
@@GreenAkersPC Hey Jason, your channel is amazing- I'm in the UK and was in the process of doing a makeover at my moms place for her getting out of hospital- painted and laminate floored the living room, and only when started decluttering and cleaning the upstairs bedrooms I discovered she has bedbugs, very mild AFAIK though I need to set up traps.... the walls need sugar soaped and painted so should I just crack on and do this- take off ceiling roses, sockets and switches, blow them out and once the painting has been done treat with CF which is on order from Amazon? These damn things have screwed my already tight schedule.... It's been double edged as she has furniture I wanted to ditch and now I can justify doing so....
I dont really have crossfire in India. I am using diatomaceous earth but came across multiple of your videos asking not to because of health concerns. Could you please provide a suggestion for a good pesticide?
Just bought a home but can’t move in because of roaches and bedbugs smh. I was told temprid and merit will kill both…is that true? Or just get crossfire? This empty house almost ruined me! Plz help bc you seem to be the goat
Did you bring them with you? I’m in a similar situation…
I kept getting this rash during the night and 10 or 15 mins after I would be up it would go away, that night I'd go to bed and the same thing then it started to skip a night or 2 so I didn't think it was bed bugs but then that only happened about 3 or 4 times then I was getting bit just sitting on my bed so I ripped everything off my bed and checked my box springs and I'll be damned if I didn't have bed bugs so don't let anybody tell you that the bites don't come and then go and then come right back bc they do, I thought I was going crazy but no, it really does happen.
How do you know if it’s mixed correctly? What is it supposed to look like and how do you know if it’s correct?
Hey there, fantastic channel with so much helpful info. My question is if 13 oz to a gallon is good, why isn't 6.5 oz for half a gallon good?
57.5 oz water + 6.5oz crossfire would mix correctly but it’s difficult to mix in this way
@@GreenAkersPC Yes agreed. I was just thinking of getting a half gallon container, putting in 6.5 oz Crossfire, and then fill with water. But, damn!...thank you for actually responding. I see you respond to folks a lot. I'm really amazed.
My goal is to help those who need it lol if I don’t respond I can’t help anyone
oh no! I ordered so many door dashers over the last 2 years & gave people rides...ugh!
My company is cheap. We use 221L for bed bugs. For effective treatment, I use 221L with gentrol Aerosol and dust.
Sounds pretty cheap…as long as it’s effective
After professional treatment, when can you spray for a preventative treatment. Is there a time frame so that spraying doesn't interfere with the professional treatment?
as far as what someone can do on their own, crossfire works well for prevention
I have been watching your vids religiously. My first bottle of crossfire was delivered this week. Not cheap for UK customers. I had to convert US measurements to UK measurements but no biggie. I sprayed yesterday. You probably have answered this question before a mil times but could you just confirm when I should do the next treatment, is it 3 or 4 weeks? Did not get bitten last night. But the wife found one on her today. Another question, how long can I use crossfire for. I have no issues spending the money. My father lives with me as he very elderly and in his bedroom the signs of bedbugs are more obvious. But it is difficult to treat his room. As he is set in his ways and it does not effect him at all.
How's it going for ya?
I had a terrible, itching, burning, blisters after bites. And I'm a 4th generation logger and I get poison all every year. In places where you don't want and shouldn't have poison ivy, oak and sumac and I'd take that over all of my body over these fukkers bites any day of the week. They last for almost 2 weeks and only thing helped was Benadryl and Ice to numb it. I tried tech nu oak and ivy for forestry workers, ivy rest everything and nothing works at all but ice and Benadryl. It cause so much stress and no sleep for days at a time. I had to take way more of it than I should just to get a few hours sleep wrapping ice packs around my legs and arms with Ace bandages like a mummy. And others don't even know they got bit. Idk how but it happens. My immune system does not like it at all. I'll get ivy and be fine in a day or 2. Wash with bleach and alcohol and ok. And if I get on face, privates, butt I get a shot and that helps so much. I feel for anyone who has this issue. And we had to do all this work 2 weeks before Xmas with 2 lil ones. It was very hard. But Jason told me what yo do and I did it exactly, and another tip is to check the cracks and crevices in your place. I had quite a few and after sealing them up with foam or caulking it was alot better, then spray crossfire and it's gone. Hang in there and stop all from coming over and going over yourself until you know exactly where and who has them. It's not worth the BS over family or friends. Sorry but until it's gone I'm gone. If not it'll be a long lasting issue.
what to do!? BURN EVERYTHING! :/ Start over... 😢
Do you recommend to apply crossfire every week until all bedbugs are gone?
I have sand fleas I believe that resemble a jigger flea that I didn’t know was supposed to be in North America especially in Minnesota were I am having trouble there cocoons are hard as rocks and the borrow in to every thing they seem indestructible what do I do
Great video, Mr. Akers! Keep up the good work!
So if I just split a bottle a did a half gallon then sprayed last week. Can I go ahead and redo it with a gallon right away?
Hi, I have bedbugs and I can't kill them. I washed all bedding, steamed with an iren steam and sprayed with the bedbug killer. They keep biting me. I have animals in my studio, I won't like to use chemistry, could I kill them just by washing and steaming? I couldn't find even one of them but they kept biting me . Please help.
No. My roommate was convinced she could kill them this way. But they get in your walls. The chemicals he suggested are safe to be around mammals.
So I'm sold on the product, but Amazon doesn't ship to me.
Where can I get a hold of it at this point? 🤦♀️
How long does it take you to go through a home to treat it for bed bugs on your route? Especially in terms of a severe infestation? One hour? Two?
It really just depends on the level of prep the customer has made. I have two tomorrow and I figure on adding at least 3 hours to the route for the work
I ordered a leather jacket from Etsy. It was used. All I had to pay for was shipping. They started appearing a month later. Needless to say, I torched that jacket. Now I only buy new. I saw one today that hadn't fed for so long that the blood was black when I mashed it. The last time I saw a bedbug was a month ago. Should I retreat just to be safe?
Yes you should treat your house
I have friend he said Hi yield will kill bed bugs. Is this true?
Please where can I buy the crossfire bedbugs spray in Canada
So what happens if ur exposed to them everyday and can't get away from it for instance u don't drive and have no choice but to allow ir kids to use the bus or u work with a company who refuses to belive there is a problem and won't treat but u need the money like is there a way to keep them from coming into ur house or can u just continually use crossfire cause we tried it all the alpine wsg the cross fire even general which I know isn't for bed bugs but it was a thought
You would need to treat at least once a month on a preventative basis to keep the bedbugs out of your house
I'm using a Bauer chemical fogger will that work as well as a sprayer
No just use crossfire
Thanks! The trail......!
We are currently dealing with them and I asked a pest control guy what to do with the remainder-- he said to only mix half because the area we are treating is small.... is it REALLY that hard to mix it correctly doing only half? We cannot afford him to come treat so thats why im asking...
And to follow up-- I just read your comment about 57.5 oz being half, why not 64?
How do I know I killed them all, how many weeks?
How do I get crossfire in Ny state? I cannot order the concentrate from anyone anywhere!
hi! i was wondering if using hotshot foggers works or if it makes it worse? ive seen some people saying it makes it worse. i plan on using crossfire soon. another question i have is should i quit the diatomaceous earth treatment if i am using crossfire?
It will only make it worse...
Can i use a spray bottle to spray crosefire or do i have use a pump spray?
How long do i have to wait before it is safe to enter my home after using crossfire?
Would one 13 oz bottle of crossfire work on my 2 story house?
What is your live skype number so i can ask questions?
Thank you
Cold or warm water to mix crossfire? Reason I ask that question because something’s you mix with water. For example Like warm water will help activate certain things
Luke warm would work or cold
@@GreenAkersPC Thank you
What should you do if you had 4 heat treatments, 12 months of apprehend and 4 months CrossFire, and various other items. And still having bites.
I would look at other possible infestations that aren’t bed bugs…if you have actual live bed bugs captured then I would assume you’re bringing them somewhere pretty regularly. Maybe a friend, family member or even work.
We work from home, house came with them. We have caught many. Just not for a while. No guests. Bites are same so assumption is they are same. Could we chat less publicly?
Happy to pay for the consult and happy new year. Ty for what you do. It’s a true horror.

I am in a similar situation. Did you ever get relief This is maddening! I hope your bb free.
What can I do if my neighbor has them and maintenance won't treat to get rid of them
How soon can you let pets and children back in the house after a treatment. Should I do anything after a treatment to make things safe for kids and pets
It’s safe as long as it’s dry
What do you do if your don't see the bed bugs? I liked everywhere for 2 weeks I cannot find the nest. I only seen a few bed bugs in the last 2 weeks doing crossfire this week, but I cannot find the nest to eliminate it
If you don’t see bed bugs don’t assume it’s bed bugs biting
But if it has a lasting affect wouldn’t it keep working to kill them when they bring them back in
Crossfire only lasts about a month or so
I’ve used crossfire followed your instructions I used bedlam and cimexa and nothing is killing them. I can’t afford to hire someone for apprehend so how can I use it? I think these bedbugs are super bugs and it’s just not killing them, I even broke down and got a steam machine and used it on the whole house. I haven’t seen one but only evidence of them but it feels like a horrible infestation. I am going to do a second dose tomorrow. I know they are in my car too but I sprayed my car too. I don’t know where they could be coming back from. I truly need help I’m in hell
It takes about 30-40 days for the bed bugs to die off from a crossfire treatment and may need a second treatment from a novice
Do you recommend mixing pesticides/ measures to get rid of em and keep them away?
I was told that mixing pesticides can have a chemical reaction. You can have 2 products that'll kill bedbugs used by themselves, but hardly do anything if mixed. Permethrin 10 & Tempo SC is a good example of this. Also, if you spray a chemical on top of what a professional has put down, what they sprayed can be less effective.
Hi Do you use at all Gentrol Concentrate IGR Insect Growth Regulator ?
Not for bedbugs. Roaches yes.
Will it work if you spray only the bed? Is it really necessary to spray the whole house?
Yes, they live EVERYWHERE
Can i use Crossfire again thats leftovers still im my sprayer?
I know a lot of people who do
I used it last year it work but i had 1/4left from it so can i still use it cuz i gt bit agaonn last week i no it bugs again but where they come from or did they not kill all ?
No cannot use it after a year as label indicates within 24 hrs. It's questionable if it would still be effective. As for them coming back after that long then it's a reinfestation and not the same initial ones.
Also what do you think about this BUG MD?
Hi. If i applied crossfire incorrectly, can i reapply correctly in the same places right away. It was mixed a little too diluted and wasn't shaken.
As long as it isn’t running into the floor or soaking anything yes
Can i used clover mite spray on bed bugs?
Most likely not
Can you spray the bed directly to the mattress?
The label of Crossfire requires the treatment of the bare mattress
I know you do pests, but would happen to know what a person might do for mold all in household.
Not a professional. But if mold is all through the house then you need to find out where the moisture is and stop that. Then if it’s done structural damage that will have to be replaced. And if it’s just superficial then you can clean/kill it with bleach or white vinegar. Don’t mix them. Just pick one. And wear gloves and a mask. And throw everything that was used to clean up the mold away
I have a question Jason. I live in a double wide mobile home, ( I dont know the square footage), for sure, do you think I may need two 13 oz bottles instead of one, to completely treat my house? Just want to make sure I have enough for the job. Thank you so much for all of your great information.
I can treat a 7 bedroom house with one finished gallon of crossfire pesticide. You don’t treat the whole floor or walls or anything like that you just treat furniture and cracks
I think i got mine from the gym 😅😢
I have spy a whole gallon.i get those back in a month
7:30. Sounds like the school bus company needs to be held liable.
Crossfire works but my grandkids have them but mom won't do anything about it
Is crossfire safe for pets?
If you follow the label
Have a initial bed bug issue ,my question is I call a big company they charge me 1555 aprox ,will you recommend cross fire before bring them?
I am trying crossfire today before calling anyone. We have them in one room and have cleaned top to bottom, thrown out mattress and have seen a few stragglers. But today we are going to spray with the crossfire exactly as Jason said. Fingers crossed.
Why would you want to kill ladybugs?
Because they swarm houses by the hundreds of thousands and they aren’t native species?
After I seen bedbugs on new clothes at a Walmart I shop for clothes with sealable plastic bags for the clothes and go hot wash and extra dry them before it goes home besides no visitors no deliveries nothing comes inside without being cleaned now we need a global day for bedbug treatment Globally United Against BedBugs make it a Global Health Solution Effort 😢 these things are a Absolute Nightmare 😢 😭 ☠️
Do you have a email?
Have you ever heard of humans getting infested with bugs and or worms?
Unlike most of you, i wish i had bed bugs. my friend think i have them too but there is no evidence of any. i have had bed bug covers on mattress, box spring and pillows for many years. i just purchased crossfire and willing to give that a try. i hope it works for something other than bed bugs. Come August, i will be one consecutive year of being bitten.
You want bed bugs?
Jason says CF does not work on other bugs.
😅😅😅😅😅 im scared😢
If you live with a hoarder it's impossible!!!!!!
WHY WOULDNT YOU JUST ENCASE THAT MATTRESS AND TOSS IT. THAT BED IS COMPLETELY INFEESTED
No, say it ain't so!
What?
@@GreenAkersPC this scared me. This was my last resort and it was a God sent. I have a question. Are there scientists/people trying to find a way to eliminate them permanently? Do you think there will be a day that happens, since they're so adaptable? 🤔
Bed Bugs and Cockroaches adapt to pesticides so well...
