THANK YOU for your videos. My son in-law just inherited his granddad’s 2022 f-150. He was a hoarder and had a really bad bedbug infestation. My son in-law’s family all turned down the truck because of the bedbugs. I told him if he wants? If it gives him the mental itches? Put on a hazmat suit and drive it to me and park it in the driveway away from the house. And I will spray it as many times as necessary and if needed I’ll do a deep cleaning steam treatment of the whole interior. It can set in my driveway untouched as long as it takes to get it right. But I told him DO NOT refuse an invaluable tool like a free inherited truck for him, my daughter and grandson.
I live in the Desert...We have triple digits in the summer 4+ months. I've put down Diatomaceous Earth in my bedroom and in the car on the floor and seats, I vacuum twice a month, then re- dust the car again. I am on my 3rd year of Bed bug findings. 2 heat treatment and now they want to use chemicals. No one should every have to live like this. There have been months after the treatments of no bites and/or sightings, I feel like throwing everything away and start over with a few possessions after steam treatment, because when I move I don't want to transfer any eggs or bugs. :( Also the Landlord is trying to charge me for this, which I am fighting with an Attorney. I've never had an infestation, 1 or 2 bugs and a professional exterminator looked in my bedroom and couldn't find any evidence, so I believe it's coming from adjoining neighbor/s. I live in a Quadplex and they have a lot of company staying with them. Thanks for the information in your video.
Sounds like what Ive been dealing with, and its carpet beetles, they lay eggs in your hair and on your clothes, car and house. I believe mold is the source or a dead animal/ birds nest... But I definitely have mold
I've had a bed bug infestation in my Prius taxi for several months now. Thanks to this video, I have a better idea on where they might be hiding during the daytime.
I’m watching this to learn between going out for the below zero temp, cleaning up my driveway from the (chem cloud ) winter, that could kill me. Only a few more feet to come,before this week. Thank you Jason, for educating us on so many pests. I now know how to treat for cluster flies.
Another place for fleas, my cat loves to post up in the back window for the duration of any car trips. So anywhere your pet hangs out of course should focus around that area
I drive my car each day. It's my only vehicle. I have a 2006 Chevy HHR. I saw one in back hatch area (behind back seat). They seem to come down onto feet and legs at night more than anything while driving. Do I spray Crossfire under seats as well as under dash area? How long to air out car before I drive it (if needed)? It will be 49 degrees today, Saturday. I need to try to do this before my apartment, as there is more activity being felt in car. Thank you for this video.
I’ve never seen a bug in my home or car yet i can feel them crawling on me they bite my back or the trunk of my body never my arms. How do i know what kind of bug i have.
My question about crossfire: since the focus is only on the areas around the seat that you mentioned, can I use half the bottle with half the water for one treatment, and save the other half of the bottle for the next treatment? Even though it’s been opened. I’ve used this + Cimexa in my apartment with success, but spraying an entire apartment vs just spraying the car seat area seems like a waste of product if I were to use the entire bottle of crossfire. Going on four months since finding out they were in my apartment, and now realizing they also have been in my car!! Ugh. Thank you so much for these videos.
Thankyou! I get what your saying with the sun breaking down the chemical but I also found the fleas in my sons car died because we parked it for a few weeks shut up in the direct Australian sun..it would have been over 60 degrees Celsius in there. I had them so bad in mine I would get eggs on my neck when I put my seat belt on and had worms on me so gross.
I have bed bugs in my car. They are in the head rest ports the fabric and under the caps. I have used contact spray and foggers . Then vacuum the entire car. You discouraged the use if foggers. I disagree. Just wipe down the surfaces. I used one the first time. It slowed them down. But in a day they were back. Smaller. This time I used 2. One in front & 1 in the .back. the other method I will be try to leave my car in the sunlight. Plus safely set up a touch to increase the temperature.
I see white bugs that are fast on outside of car and inside on dash. Are those bedbugs that died or hid over winter, I used DE and I got rid of them ,so what the heck are these fast white little bugs that are as fast as a bedbug?
The kitchen is the least of my problems with these bedbugs. But I want to treat the whole apartment. So how do I treat the kitchen properly? The bedbugs is it coming from work everybody’s passing them back-and-forth. I’m concerned I’m gonna have to leave the company to bring it to a stop I’ve never had bedbugs before and it is horrendous. Doing it all myself. Also the very same night I realized that I had bedbugs, there was a horde of some sort of black spider mite, with blackish purple bodies . They look like a false black widow with short legs. They have quite a sting. So where is small as a piece of lint and others A little larger. Within a week most of them are gone I just see one or two here or there.There’s so many different kinds of bugs and spiders in this apartment I have never seen anything like it. Beautiful apartment and it’s a nightmare. Help!
So I got my first case of bed bugs I ordered the crossfire and am gonna follow your suggestion I’m glad I found your videos. So after the crossfire is put down and dry is myself and pet safe?
I live in Texas. It's always hot. I have a mite infestation in my car and it has become an issue because now they are in my skin. In my home and I'm ready to burn everything I own. I can't pay exterminator. Please help me!!! Desperate in hot as he// TX.
Why not park your car on the blacktop in the middle of July with all the windows up and turn on the heat, allowing it to run for an hour or more. Dont they say heat is the best way to kill Bedbugs? The would easly get the inside of your car to the heat needed to kill them them 🤷♂️
@@GreenAkersPC i didn't hear you specify this video was geared towards cold weather,, I missed that part.. either way I was just throwing the ideal out there considering several comments said they have been dealing with infestation for mths/ years. And I assume someone might watch the video down the road during summer mths looking for a solution 🤔
Hi Jason, I moved into a house end of june, house is 20 yrs old. we have an infestation of I believe mites. house has been treated numerous times and are not gone . i’ve thrown out 90% of my clothes. everything that can go in a bag, has. they bite, are so tiny you can barely see, look like little black dots and little orange dots. exterminator said not bed bugs. it’s ruining our lives, I cannot really move in. they bite, I went to my dermatologist and she gave me pills and cream. Said not scabies, please help it’s been 3 months and numerous treatments. Ready to take loses and want to move out as fast as possible.
Two questions: How effective would be leaving the car under the sun a whole afternoon? What is your opinion on crossfire aerosol? And Raid bedbug foam (seems to be the same composition as crossfire + foaming agent)?
OK just picked up my crossfire used it last night. How long before I start seeing results? I’m a Uber driver and I worry about spreading to my passengers.
How do i apply alpine wsg. In your amazon flea products it says that they are granules. Does it mix with water so I can spray my car with the sprayer you have on Amazon?
Question. I just bought these NuCan Strips a few days ago but haven’t yet opened them for use. Im thankful that I crossed over your information that I’m religiously watching due to a severe infestation in my room/home. I hired an exterminator But they are only treating my home. I am aware i also need to treat my car so after seeing a RUclips video of a professional, the Nuvan Strips were suggested to be most effective treatment in The summer time when my car is in the heat. I live in California so it’s fairly warm Right now and so im wondering if there pesticides would be ineffective?
There are pesticides that can hold up under heat like temprid. Crossfire doesn’t really say on their label if it can hold up under heat so if the car gets very hot I would probably use temprid instead
I ordered crossfire in a spray can last week and it was cold in Virginia. It was like 30 degrees and the can was cold. Is it still ok to use and still effective?
@@GreenAkersPC also if I seen at least like 3 in my living room but nowhere else like upstairs there’s none I believe because no one and I are getting bit so I think they’re in the living room downstairs, Do you think I have very few? Or can still be a lot t
Could be carpet beetle larvae in your clothes if your clothing dont cover those areas, & it wouldn't be bites actually its an allergic reaction to the hairs although it absolutely looks & feels like bites.
I’m trying to figure out why is attacking me while I drive ? They get under my clothing and even in my socks on a short drive . I see tiny black specs in my shoes , socks , they get under my shirt into my bra and go to the waist line and bite . Are they some type of mite cuz they don’t move when I look closely with my phone camera . I see they have little webbing hairs attached to them when I pull them off my clothing ? Idk what they are , any suggestions? Two years of this and three cars ;(

its 13oz per gallon so as long as you stay true to the ratio you can mix less
Thank you, Jason! Always appreciate the knowledge you share!
Thankyou!

Hi you don't say what you should use for mites? Please advise
What about carpet beetles? HELP!

Thank you 😊
I get bed bugs on the ceiling of my car.
Bed bugs do travel.
Thank u so much very good info!!!
So I got my first case of bed bugs I ordered the crossfire and am gonna follow your suggestion I’m glad I found your videos. So after the crossfire is put down and dry is myself and pet safe?
Yep
Sounds like night time before bed is best time for treatment. How long to air out car?
This was soooo helpful. Thank you sir!

So if you infested your car in October would you want to wait nearly a year to be able to try your idea?

Wow. Asked the guy at ace if I could fog the car and he said yeah it's meant for the car
He’s wrong lol moral of the story, don’t take pesticide application advice from an Ace Hardware employee
@@GreenAkersPC dang it. I already fogged the crap out of my car last night. I thought they were the place of helpful hardware tools? Haha
God bless you
what about orthene for cochroaches? Mostly used for crack/crevice in restaurant kitchens. Stinks but is effective.
Won't the heat kill the bed bugs??
It can. I have see bed bugs survive though in a hot car
How do I know what's biting me and where it's happening? I'm going crazy trying to figure it out :(
I am curious about if bed bugs can crawl over hairy blankets.
In summer, wont the extreme heat kill bed bugs anyway ??
Absolutely it can. I usually recommend people park in direct sunlight
What about carseats? Do we only vacuum and dont put alpine for treatment?
What if it is all three bugs you are dealing with. What can you use to kill all three of the bugs
I’ve been dealing with chiggers for 2 years. I’ve had pest control out several times cleaned the carpets twice and I don’t know what to do
Hi how can I get rid of cockroaches without taking the seats out? Thanks. From New Zealand
Do u still have bed bugs
Two questions:
How effective would be leaving the car under the sun a whole afternoon?
What is your opinion on crossfire aerosol? And Raid bedbug foam (seems to be the same composition as crossfire + foaming agent)?
Sun can help but if there’s a trunk I would suggest treating it since it can be insulated and won’t get as hot
The foam in a can spray isn’t as effective as the liquid mixed in your own
@@GreenAkersPC Cool. Thanks for the reply. 👍
Would a hot summer day along with the car heater on max kill bed bugs infestation in a car?
As long as stuff isn’t bagged. The things inside a bag don’t get hot enough long enough
How often do I use the crossfire for the bed bugs
What application would you recommend for treating carpet beetle/larvae in the car? (Infested)
Wondering if a person can treat for three different insects with different chemicals all at once
Yes please. Can you let us know. I have the same question
Thank you Jason! If
bedbugs are in my Minivan, do I need to treat the head liner at all? Also, what time is your Thursday night Live stream?
OK just picked up my crossfire used it last night. How long before I start seeing results? I’m a Uber driver and I worry about spreading to my passengers.
Will alpine kill both fleas and bed bugs in a car ?
It can
I have kids, what is safe to use in the car?
Will steam treatments help at all? If so, How soon can I steam once I use crossfire?
Steam before crossfire not after. Wait a month after applying to use steam
How long does alpine wsg last for this time of year in your car. I live in southwest Detroit
How do i apply alpine wsg. In your amazon flea products it says that they are granules. Does it mix with water so I can spray my car with the sprayer you have on Amazon?
What if you think they are in steering column?

Does alpine aerosol work?
What about heat treatment followed by spray?
if you get a heat treatment at all it should always be followed by a liquid application
I couldn't find not one company in my rural area that would even examine my car let alone treat. I hate these bugs.
love your hoodie ji ji ji
I ordered crossfire in a spray can last week and it was cold in Virginia. It was like 30 degrees and the can was cold. Is it still ok to use and still effective?
Aerosols aren’t affected in the same way with temps unless they are more extreme
Can you use Nuvan Prostrips in a car?
Don’t drive if there are nuvan strips installed because they are toxic to humans. You need to air the car out before use
Do you know how long you should air it out?
So if I used 2 foggers in the truck will it for sure work cz I did
No not usually

My nightmare, I agree
Please specify which pesticide to use for bird mites and how to use it for cars. Please!!
What about moths in the trunk of my car??? I had bird seed and squirrel food bags in there and looks like that was the problem. 😭
Pantry moth traps work

Thank you - will pyrid aerosol spray do the trick ?
Hi Jason okay got it for the car cross fire now what about the vents do I spray any in those?
Never treat the vents of a car or house with pesticides

Summertime car heat kill bedbugs?
it can...cant in the trunk though
Yes! 120, 130 degrees for an hour or two will kill all stages including eggs! I'd leave the vehicle all day just to be sure 😊
So a one time bombing of the car wont work?
No
