- Information on the internet is not always right. In fact, it's oftentimes completely wrong. Here are 5 perfect examples. Josh Erdman, Erdye's Pest Control, shares with us the top 5 worst ways the internet tells you how to get rid of bed bugs.
Nah diatomaceous earth works wonders if applied correctly. Its keeps killing indefinitely as long as it is dry. There is way more ways than heat. I literally got rid of a gaint infestation of the entire house without heat
How did you do it?
Yeah please say how
@@floatinginsomniac 1) Use diatomaceous earth everywhere you reasonably can. Most often it's around the walls, especially behind all beds. Take special care not to wash it away when doing your regular floor cleanings. Also, diatomaceous earth can be of a bit different types. It's best to use the one that is specifically said to be useful against crawling insects, and not the one for aquariums or outdoor use etc.
2) Clean up the mess in your bedrooms - go through all of your stuff near the beds and check them for infestations. Use a magnifying glass. Have a spray with a detergent ready to be used at the moment you accidentally discover a bug colony. Pack the clean items in plastic bags (make sure they don't have holes). You should store as much as you can inside those bags for at least a year, if possible. Only after about 2 years you can be sure all the bugs and their generations have been starved to death if any of them were inside a bag.
3) Use a steam cleaner to go thoroughly trough all your beds, sofas, seats, matresses. Pay special attention to seams and crevices - that's where they like to hide. Turn the bed over - they might hide there. Heat gun is useful to go through all the wooden parts of the bed, but be careful, some things can melt or be damaged by the heat.
4) Put traps-monitors under the legs of all beds. You can buy them or make yourself, RUclips has lots of tutorials. Then move the beds away from all the walls and furniture and make sure your bedding does not touch anything when you sleep. The main idea is to use yourself as a bait and make bed bugs fall into the traps and starve. However, some of them might still reach you - sometimes they crawl up to the ceiling and drop down at you. If you don't see any bugs in the trap for a month - congrats, your home is very likely clean! But don't rush to relax, keep the vigilance, there might be some eggs in some stuff you have. That's why keep the stuff in plastic bags for a while.
5) Wash all your bedding often. Pay attention to bed bug spots on your bedding - if you notice any, your bed traps have been compromised and you have to inspect your bed for the infestation again.
6) Be careful when you go to visit someone. You don't want to spread the bugs around, they might infest your relatives, friends, neighbors and then come back to you when you have got rid of them.
7) If you live in an apartment, the bugs might come from your neighbors. It has to be a shared effort to get rid of them in the entire building. Look under the baseboards and inside electric sockets, put some diatomaceous earth there. Seal all the crevices in the walls. They can come also through ventilation and the cravices around your water and heating pipes - anywhere. Sometimes people have to move if their neighbors are irresponsible and don't help the fight.
Good luck!
@@camelCased I love all you ideas and Im going to use them . Right now Im sleeping in a damn tent in my bedroom. Its funny because when I wake up the bugs are on my screen of the tent wanting to get me. LOL
@@lgnrome oh no how do you get out in the morning that would totally creep me out get a good bed bug spray and spray your tent inside and outside
He endangered himself with all that d.e.powder. Ask the tin man how he ended up in the hospital in the wizard of oz.👀
Diatomaceous earth works. A little goes a long way, you just have to be vigilant and be sure to get the corners of your floors. I put it under my mattress and under the cushions of my furniture and it worked for me.
What this man was trying to explain is that most of the off the shelf products like liquid pesticides and dust products like Diatomaceous Earth are only effective if place strategically at locations where the bugs move across. The video itself is an over exaggeration to those who don't know how to use those products in the PROPER way. Lastly, I would like to point out that the Man in the video is NOT a entomologist and also the company itself doesn't have a single entomologist, which means they have about the same level of knowledge about pest as much their costumers do. Funny video though 😂
How about what appears to be pool grade de he threw all over the place.. inhaling that isn't a good idea.
Diatomaceous earth works but I applied it just like that. Oh well $10 vs $1500 heat treatment. You do the math.
Silicon Dioxide (DE) causes a cancer called Silicosis, so you do the math if your life is only worth $10. And he just inhaled way too much of it.
Dude you really sold me on the petroleum jelly and the white powder lol
Better question...... Sir where the hell you get that pail of vaseline.😂😂😂 I'd never need to buy one again
I don’t think my family of 5 could even use that much in a lifetime. We’d have to pass it down to our grandchildren
Did he just breathe in all that earth. No good for him.
I’ll bet it was flour. 😂
I live in a highrise apartment building. I have never had bedbugs but when I hear someone in my building does I use DE at my front door with leads to common hallway. I also put it around bed post and have bedbug covers on mattress and box spring. I spray bedbug killer on rugs and my shoes when I come home. Doing laundry in building is scary.. I don't dry everything I wash so now I'm adding things in wash in case washing machine has anything. That could be a waste of time.. I don't know
I've been using a steam cleaner but i was still seeing about 1 a day so along with my homemade spray and I've just ordered some DE and a puffer for the baseboards.
What are the ingredients of the homemade spray?
@@thenewdislikebutton5074 partly fill a spray bottle with water then add 2 tb spoons of washing powder then 3 cap fulls of detol and 1 t spoon of bicarbonate of soda or baking soda in the US. shake and spray it will kill on contact. they literally do a death stretch when you spray them. it does work without the soda but takes about 10 more seconds.
@@anymonkey70 Which Dettol exactly? They have lots of different products with different ingredients. Some of them are just light antibacterial sprays and do not contain the ingredient that helps to kill bed bugs.
Dude just lied.
I hope that was flour
"Theres a pretty good chance Im going to burn my house down with my salamanders"? Huh?
Forced air, radiant and several tiger torches coupled with fans and yet to burn anything short of melting some plastic blinds. Im probably rocking about 10 million BTU if I were to add everything up. Hell, maybe even get the BBQ's in on the action too seeing no one is sleeping in the house or survive the heat for more than 10 min.
With the diatomaceous earth I toss some down the intake of my leaf blower (both gas and electric) while they shoot out a beautiful misty cloud and lightly dust everything in 2 seconds flat while I flee the house until it settles.
In a situation where I move into an apartment not knowing that the entire complex has a bed but issue and I don’t find out until a month before I move out what is the best way to prevent bedbugs from coming into my Unit or coming with me to my next unit. My landlord doesn’t seem to care and will not allow me to hire someone externally to come in and do it they won’t let him on the property.
Take garlic capsules. If it doesn't work, double the dose. Bed bugs will leave you alone, and go bite your neighbors. If you love your neighbors, you can share your secret with them. Start the video at the beginning: ruclips.net/video/fHFfBtJL_3U/видео.html
You might also barricade your apartment with thinly applied food grade diatomaceous earth around doors, windows, electrical connections, baseboards, Plumbing and other connections so the bed bugs will get killed coming from other apartments or leaving yours. If it stays dry and undisturbed, it will kill bed bugs for years.
Lol this was good! You had me laughing man.
As we speak, 15 July 2023, I've been using diatomaceous earth for the past 3 days. I'll keep you in touch if I succeed. (the past 3 days I was bite free, by the way)
Don’t listen to this guy. It works, and many people can verify. This guy just works for a company and tries to convince people the only way to get rid of bbs is to use expensive heat treatments. You have to use DE strategically for it to work, not how he shows in the video. He’s also a major idiot for dumping it all over himself, because it can damage your lungs inhaling it, unless he knows that and it’s actually something else, and in the case he should give a warning in the video for other idiots that might try it.
Did the DE work out for you? Are the bed bugs gone?
Let us know, I hate when people do this and bail
@@toonghost3 To be frank, it worked for a while. It worked so well that after 10 days there were no more to be found (and trust me, you should have seen me at 2 in the morning with a lantern, checking for bed bugs under the furniture, that's how well I've checked). Then I transformed into a complete idiot and decided by the 20th day, to quit and clean my room of all the white dust (my room looked as if I've spread cocain all over the place). bad move. They appeared again. Now I've tried the second time and will stay with white dust in my room for 1 year. I'm already in my third week.
Other info: the first and second time, I had no bed bug bites on me, even though sometimes I found blood spots on my pillow.
This man is a genius comedy makes people hire and I’m in oregon.
I can't afford a professional 🥺 can I just use heat?
Don't buy proffesionals they are a scam. Just use heat and try other methods!
cymexa and sew an isolation garment for sleeping. If the bugs can't get to you to feed they go away
Where do I buy heat
To be fair, the tape is more of a temporary solution, it keeps them away while you wait for a professional
Here's how a good and effective way to kill bed bugs use a flamethrower.
I second this
I use the diesel heater everything okay .
