Living with bedbugs in South East London gave me a mental health problem. I’d wake up and would have blueberries scuttling over me, so I became nocturnal. Was then gaslit by landlord that because I had a dog I’d brought them in…pest control came in and said they’d been there for years and animals can’t carry them.
i went to vienna last year and stayed in an air bnb and they had bed bugs and the owner called us dirty and said we brought them in since we were foreigners, and then argued the existence of bed bugs in the first place, and continued to rent the place out without ever getting it inspected. we threw out all of our luggage out of fear of them sticking with us. Hope her place is like this now.
Bloody hell, mate. Rentals, landlords. Sod them. Bring back ethical social housing.
This JUST FKN HAPPENED TO ME!! But with roaches!! I got the flat next day realised it was infested, straight away complained and was gaslit exactly the same but told I’d brought them from my country, seeing as I’m an immigrant I’ve been in this disgusting fkn country for more than a decade now. He had the audacity to claim something as such, which is exactly what the r@cist pig in the sky report is also saying!! “different country” MY BUMHOLE!! THIS COUNTRY IS FILTHY!! THE PEOPLE ARE DIRTY!! THE ROYALS ARE INBRED!!
Bed bugs can hitch a ride on anything. They're getting free trips on the London Underground every day, they go sightseeing on London's buses, they were even found to be taking part in legislative scrutiny in the House of Lords, in between sucking a bit of ennobled blood...
That’s horrible 😢
I had bed bugs a few years ago after someone from abroad came to visit. This is what I did. I covered my mattress with a waterproof breathable mattress protector (the completely enclosed zip up style). I didn’t have a bed frame/base. I found the bed bug nest (it was behind a bookcase near my bed in a gap in the wallpaper). I became a minimalist to reduce the number of things they could hide in. I put diatomaceous Earth around the entire perimeter of my room in the gap between the carpet and skirting board so they’d have to walk through it to get to me at night. I slept in socks and a hoodie to avoid getting bitten. I steam cleaned my carpets everyday for a week. I created a ring of diatomaceous Earth around my mattress so they’d have to walk through it to get to me. I also used isopropyl alcohol spray in the crevice between the carpets and skirting board for good measure.
😂😂😂
Putting this here to warn others: bedbugs have learned to avoid diatomaceous earth clumps. Use a powder duster to spread it around. Also, use a respirator! Or at the bare minimum an N95 dust mask! DE can cause severe lung issues when inhaled, and is a known eye irritant. Once the dust has settled it's totally safe for people and pets.
I did the same thing. But I put thr bed legs in some disposable cups with diatomaceous earth filled in the cups. That afforded me some sleep.
Too much work, I'd just buy a pesticide.
@@FOOJFOOJIYAMA most are chemical resistant
They are so evasive, they tend to hide right in front of your eyes
Like the men in black,. Just like the men in black
I have had bloody grain mites for years now, little fxxxers cant get rid of them, they can grow into hundreds just from one bit of cat food biscuit, impossible to stop every single bit from dropping on the floor.
Bed bug should be taken seriously, they deteriorate your quality of life and disturb your sleep at night. Ive got them in my house, but its getting better after a heat treatment and dust (drying agent) treatment, hopefully everybody can win their battle against them.
silca cat littler blend it to powder 😉😉
Just spray hot water in the house, every corner. Simple but very effective
@@onyangoonyango5611 yes, but if they are hidden somewhere else in the house and the hot water doesn't reach them, then they will just keep appearing
I had a long battle with bedbugs and ended up tossing my bed in the dumpster. They are the most resilient bugs I've ever encountered in my life. The only thing that eventually got rid of them was a combination of diatomaceous earth and steaming every single crack and crevice in my apartment once a week for a few months.
ty for offering non-toxic solutions.

This is freaking me out. I've lived a life, and been bitten and stung. But why are these bugs having a party?
Cig lighter?
I don't think I've ever had them, but I itch anyway bc of a skin condition (so I don't think I'd notice anyway?)
I always presumed they were tiny & not noticeable/visible to the naked eye. I didn't know they were so big!? I have never seen any so for that I'm grateful. But I will still be doing what I can to prevent them.
Why is it whenever something bad seems to be happening in London, it's always Croydon? A couple years ago it was damp mouldy properties, a week or so ago a violent stabbing death, and now hordes of bedbugs. I'm glad I don't live there and feel sorry for those that do!
Correlation to overcrowding,crap landlords and lack of funds to get the issues fixed properly because the greedies are screwing everyone. Could happen to anyone plunged into adverse circumstances,regardless of skin colour.
Immigration.
Because it's a shithole 🤣
@@firstnamelastname8217ur a muppet
And in 2011 riots setting it on fire
The washing powder adverts say to wash at 30 degrees - is that why they’re spreading? Always wash your bedding and towels at 60 degrees.
We need to quarantine London.
Then nuke it and build a UK BRITISH GOVERNMENT from the ground up, No more islamists.
We did that not long ago 😂
Need devolution for the north, with its own government. Illegal migrants not welcome in the north
Or nuke it
I suggest a 3 month lockdown to see what it does
Lockdown with bed bugs😂. I don't know what can be worse. It has to be opposite in that case. Outdoor for 3 months 😂
@@evgeniam685Ban international travel!! 😂😂
Lol yes I agree! Also mandatory vaccines against them. Very dangerous!
nothing it will worsen it
@@padme147 it's a joke
They don't like plastic covers. I bought a new bed and base. I left the plastic on. The house did have bed bugs but they slowly disappeared from my room.
"Here are hundreds of bed bugs." Wait that's not a bed it's a wall!
Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.
Only way for the bed bugs not to bite, would be to not go to sleep 😭
One of favourite "sayings", usually brings on a chuckle, doesn't seem to anymore. Yikes.
@@SuzanneO707 I had a rope bed here in México
@@bobfuhr4520 Sounds sensible.
Not even funny. I'm dealing with a really minor problem that just isn't going away. It seems to be slowly, but the diatomaceous earth takes awhile. So I'm still getting bit once a week, albeit less and less.
London has more to worry about than bed bugs, a lot more.
Rats??? Tories??? Idiotic comments???
I think we all know how they got here. 😂😂😂😂😂
"People" are traveling more at the moment? Are they? Are they really? I thought we were seeing all time lows in people traveling due to the economy and outbreaks combined. However, there is a steady flow one way into the country.
Bingo!
Yes, tourists traveling at record levels after having been subjected to a pandemic lockdown.
These people are the downfall of western civilization.
'people are travelling more at the moment'...yes they are...in dinghies, from france arriving on the beaches!
These things are no joke. My last year of living at home we had a infestation that continued on for some time because my family had tons of stuff where they chose to nest and would then shuffle between to avoid our preventive treatments like spray and routine steaming, even moving out and being as cautious as possible a few managed to escape and for a small time hide in the new apartment but thankfully didn't stick around for long as I was on an inflatable and they could not climb the material the sides were made out of fortunately.
People here in the Netherlands say it is a hoax.
Bloody hell. Sounds a nightmare. Whats wrong with people?
@@SuzanneO707 Nothing, they're very tasty...
I was in New York and staying with one of our relatives and his house was full of bedbugs and each night I got bitten and didn’t know what was happening to me. And one night I had enough of stayed awake and scan through the floor and mattress and it was bedbugs everywhere
Do all the roaches and rats have party at night.😷
I remember sleeping at Gatwick Airport twenty years ago and I was bitten by bed bugs.
Richards waited his whole career for this 👀
💂 👈?
Booking Airbnb's accelerates the spread! Hotels are way faster logistically to get rid of possible infestations More and more people will prefer a hotel cause it's easier to spot in a room that's cleaned daily😅
Several years ago I had to get my little brother who was 16 at the time out of my mother's apartmemt who at that time had a bed bug infestation for a year and on top of that a flea infestation she never took care of before the bed bugs started to take over. He lost all of his belongings I had to spend around 300 dollars so he could have a back pack and cloths for school when he started to live with my aunt who thankfully paid me back for the school cloths and bag. Its no joke any infestation of insects in your home is not to be taken lightly, definitely not be ignored, and I'd argue do not "take" care of it your self, immediately seek professional help. My mother ended up abandoning the apartment and left her estranged former fiancé to sit and walo in the filth and it still took me several conversations with my mother to explain to her she could not ever salvage any of her belongings in that apartment becasue said belongings will have eggs and engorged bed bugs embedded into them. I share this in hopes some one will read this and be able to help a love one or freind before it is too late and they lose everything to an infestation, like my mother and my little brother.
It depends how bad it is. We've found a couple, put stuff in bags, put a fine dusting of diatomaceous earth in the house, and the problem is slowly getting better. I know because I just have to keep track of my bites.
Yes would be concerning, only London isn't part of the UK, so the rest if us dont need to worry.
France Bugs 🐞 🚣 Hello England 👉🛌night🤣
I guess this means I gotta go around with the Vacuum again …… that’s twice this year 🤣🤣👍
😂
😅😅😅😅
awful i was on holiday in india the hotel was writhing with bedbugs quite a distinctive smell ugh
Yes, they do have a smell. My Dad told me that he has to work away in Sheffield in the early seventies, and the bed in the digs. Had more bugs than mattress😣
They stink.
Why did I watch this before bed
Do we need a vaccine for these too?
People are picking up furniture from the streets and bring them into homes. They get on your clothing and are transported in these ways! They are more active at night.
This is why I never go thrifting in cities too
Sometimes I think we need to outfit airports with showers, changing rooms and spray arches for decontamination on departure and arrival
So stày home to be safe!!!!!
@@SuzanneO707 try telling the people coming here that
what about luggage?
@@Tatiana-zs3dc a good point, spray decontaminants at it in a vacuum and issue a general advisory to beware bedbugs in your luggage.
Obviously they surged faster than usual !!! How? We dont know !!!
Bc everyone is going on vacation more 😎
We all should be worried...be vigilant when travelling and avoid locations that bedbugs like ..eg saunas...
Expect an outbreak of bedbugs across the UK's hotels.
they die instantly with a steamer or temps above 45°C no need to use chemicals.
They usually run away and come back that nit always helps , mustard gus im much better
It took a few months to get rid of bed bugs. We used pure concentrated pepper mint oil mixed with 98% alcohol. And won. We also used those professional heat guns that reach super hot Temps and burnt them in corners We couldn't reach. Could hear the eggs snd bed bugs popping.
My uncle was living in house in Kilburn expensive rent!!!!
When he move everything looked normal.
But then the nightmare started!!!The landlord refused to fix the problem!!!
My uncle had move and trow way everything......
I give my bed bug names and have trained some to do tricks
😅😅😅😅😅
Where could they have come from ?
There’s an infestation that Londoners should be deeply concerned about….and it isn’t bed bugs.
@markvarley4051 cockneys are great, it's the others 😢
@@Jackie-ji2sjWhich others?
Technically...it's the same thing!...They come hand in hand!....Penny dropped yet folks?????
@@monkeymagic4555 This problem is also creating a stereotypical behaviour of racism towards ethnic people that were indeed born in this country.
Idk if it’s bed bugs but recently I’ve been having so many ducking bites, UK aswell
Check your mattress
if it's duck bites it's probably worth checking whether there's a lake near your house
No, bed bug worries are not 'gripping UK'.
But the bed bugs might be gripping a few people.
@@rjjcms1 Lucky them
Never seen one in my life
Put a group of genetically modified bedbugs with defective reproduction genes in the nest. Maybe the bedbug population could be wiped out more efficiently?
I've thought the same thing.
They could just mate with the ones that arent modified
wonder why...
I wonder whos bringing them in?
indeed
I think the UK should close the doors on the french
Exactly like every other germ 🏴🇬🇧

HOW MANY BED BUGS IN A ROOM WITH 20 IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR MATTRESSES? 😮
London can keep them!
Buy a tent with fine mesh and sleep in that
The key is killing the eggs wit soapy water to dissolve their membrane and sealing small holes across walls
Close the borders!
You’d have to seal all baseboards too
Damn even the bed bugs be having a vacation
The only way is putting heaters that reach 240 degrees through out the house spraying doesn’t work.
That will work , probably burn the house down 😅 😅
Arent bedbugs only few millimetres?
I can’t decide what’s more off putting …the dirty fingernails in the thumbnails or the bedbugs 😩
Both😕
and the bugs are from france!
That doesn't surprise me...
But actually. Bed bugs became quite resistant during the 50s. So in the end the battle never defeated them. I recommend researching newer and safer products. Products like aprehend bed bug spray, along with sanitation and very thorough cleaning can help.
Diatomaceous earth and heat/steam treatments are things that they cannot easily evolve to resist. Not as easily as biological agents, anyway.
Heat treatment chemical free is the only way to solve bug problem
@@heyyou8103 yes heat treatment plus dust (drying agent) application
What happened is we were no longer allowed to use the really good insecticides that actually worked like DDT. So they came back. Any sprays available to the public only work when they come in direct contact with the bugs. And even then maybe not.
I have OCD when it comes to cleaning but still hot them.
Had bed bugs in the past and couldn't sleep for months
Had them once staying overnight at a place in the Far East.
I think weather is getting warmer this is why
Poverty struck Europe
Urgggh how can he purposely allow th to feed from him and then store them in jars to look at 😬??
We've got men living in space, we can fly, we are capable of such wondrous feats of engineering and creativity, yet we still cannot stop a few tiny insects. Nature will always have the upper hand. As soon as the problem was detected in both Paris and London, something should have been done to mitigate the number of bed bugs entering and leaving the country. Eventually new homes will be built to be more resistant to infestations, and better insecticides will be developed to target pest species, but spare important species such as bees and spiders.
That which survives
We don’t have men living in space stop believing CGI images
we cant do those things??? the elite and privileged can. it's not nature, it's oppression and systemic misinformation that leads to these outcomes. WE, have to support eachother, and get your head out of the clouds.
We do not have men living in space. Seriously dude, grow up.
@@HellenicRenegadeYes, we do. People live on the space station for months at a time. Have been for decades.
Looks like DDT is coming back.
This i why im glad im somewhat of a recluse. Dont have people to my home especially if i know they have traveled.
@razorsharpballoon I'm sorry I can't imagine fleas are bad enough but much easier to treat. Hope all is good now.
I wonder how they got here 🤔
Biznez work 😂
Been in the UK 🇬🇧 for years and years
@@MaxineShannon.1995 Actually it seems they're spreading up through France and across the channel into England.
We managed to deal with bed bugs decades ago, something's changed in recent times though.
Diotomacious earth, its the ONLY thing that works. Problem with it is that its such small particles it will be around forever.
yes they travel in clothing broughtvin with visitors from other countries but yes thry czn be dealt with using the powder previously mentioned
First Paris now London. It’s getting as bad as New York.
Això és diu...misèria.
Imagine what it's like in the hotels assigned to illegals. Then them going out spreading them.
Did the bugs come over on a dingy?
“Oi ya got a permit for doe’s bed bugs…”
No surprise it's in Croydon
They must not have roaches in London for them to be getting so excited over bed bugs
They travel in luggage, never put your luggage on the floor or the bed or sofa, always use the luggage stand in hotel rooms.
“Nuke from orbit…..just to be safe”
🤢🤮
More worried about the bugs on dingys arriving by the day!
Paris now London 😮
Wonder how they got there? Hmmmm
This is why Flamethrowers exists.
There are not many bed bugs in Paris or London. It's media crap
Cant the just sell the bed bug spray for people to use ?
That would put the exterminators out of business
Guaranteed it was foreigners living in the home
Croydon, thats the least of their problems.
10% rise OMG!!!!!
a good begbug stew is what is required
Enrichment
Saw one at jury's Inn Manchester in 2010 it was full of human blood yuk I squashed it blood all over the bathroom floor
Imagine having a night in the bed bug test bed.
Yuck.
Would be an interesting test to see who reacts & who doesn't, or what people are bitten & the ones who are not whether it's a blood type or if it's true they don't like red wine drinkers
@@richardr3511When I was in my mid-teens our blessed cats brought in a flea infestation that established itself under our floorboards and was a beast to remove! The critters never seemed to bite me or my sister much but always went for our mum! I've never had bed bugs,thankfully,but I'm tempted now to raise a glass ot two of red wine tonight 🍷. Cheers!
@@richardr3511they say about half of people have no reaction at all to bed bug bites. Which is why they can get so bad.
@@rjjcms1 Yes , cats carry fleas, I was bitten just visiting a cat owner. Covered in welts and a nettle rash all over, and from a couple of bites.
I treat my bedroom and furniture twice a month with 91% rubbing alcohol and use carbon dioxide traps and wash my blankets regularly. Haven't seen them in years.
The reporter didn’t fancy covering her hair or wearing protective clothing ??
I saw an astronomy program that said that we are approaching the solar maximum (where the sun is at its most energetic, in 11 year cycles) and it has been shown to alter a lot of behaviour in animals. Birds, at least, lay more eggs and it affects the migratory habits of many creatures. It could be that causing the bugs to appear.
Interesting concept
Na it's the huge influx & migration of foreign people that's why its spreading
Nature is all over the shop for at least over a decade, I watch closely. Flowers coming out at weird times, not many of some kinds of birds, hardly any bees or butterflies this year, even wasps are not about so much. And usually loads of female house spiders cavorting around in September. Hardly anything. Maybe I need to get a life. Lol.
i'm also support this version
@@SuzanneO707pole shift is nigh
I have a few. Stopped getting bit when i ate garlic. Thought itvwas because i had diabetes i was getting bites. They will probably die off as i have no bites.
How well are centipedes at controlling bed bugs?
Why is he wearing a protective suit, but not zipped up properly?
Stray pets of new arrivals.
Bedbugpeople are NOT all evil and grainy, they ARE living-beings!
So the bed bugs are coming from France in rubber dinghies via the scroungers.
Who said immigrants bring nothing 🤔🤔
Xenophobes? Racists?
🤠 Time to invest in bugspray companies.
Thank god for HMO 's and 10 people living in a 1 bed
