      I'm in Wisconsin, first time I've dealt with this in my life. Do you have any way of recommending someone who could help me in my area? I'm already anemic from Crohn's Disease & can't even lift my mattress or box spring due to an incident where I was s. assaulted, left for dead, & injured in October. I have anemia already & found one dead one. I also found a stink bug rifht where you'd normally look, but I have a feeling they're hiding in the box spring & in cracks. Also possibly in other rooms. I inherited furniture in 2014 after my grandmother died but also had my son back & forth with his father where they had mice inside the actual apartment complexes. So I am baffled & terrified cos I have heard that when u find one, there r ALWAYS more. Omg, it's just one thing after another for me. I'm in a side by side duplex with a bad spider infestation as well. The landlord's maintenance ppl have told me it is our responsibility to remove them, but the state statute says it IS the landlord's deal. They won't even fix the heat in my upstairs bathroom...some kind of electric heat inside the walls. Even I have Googled it & have found no info. Had bathroom toilet flood & had to kick over the space heater. Major fire hazard. So it's all way too much, & this is nuts. Please let me know if you can connect me to someone. Thank you so much.

    I used to think the price for bed bug extermination is ridiculous and gouging - and I still think that, BUT in cases like THIS, where the exterminator is actually doing MORE than spritzing a blotch in each drawer (not even taking out the drawers) and he's putting in the work - absolutely worth the price. Absolutely. I wish more were like you, man. God bless you in Christ

      Green Akers Pest Control LLC it's a nightmare. I still have ptsd from them. I treated them myself with powder and natural chemicals. Not pesticides. I haven't seen any in a month but I still spray every few weeks. I am so paranoid about them coming back and I'll never let anyone stay with me again. I'm always checking the beds and couches and keep thinking something is crawling on me even though there isn't.

    I live in Oshawa Ontario Canada. I have Carpet Beatles and the rash too boot so I started clean heavy in June still going slow due to a bad back am
    Nd depresion.
    I do a sixth month rotation of my bed so the springs won't wear out too quickly. I noticed non itchy rashes again and thought crap them again and found a larva on my bed so I inspected the sides. Bed Bugs. First time ever in my 10 years of having apartments. So I took Lysol Wipe and used it to kill them and washed the sides with it to start. I am going to alert my Landlady once I am done cleaning. 0 friends means I have to break my back cleaning. Thank you for the videos you have helped me think on treatments.

Are you a fan of encasing the mattress in one of those zipper mattress covers? 3. How do you go about approaching the closet? Thank you again for these videos.

    • @GreenAkersPC

      I would vacuum before application then next month when you apply again vacuum first again. I am only a fan of encasements AFTER you are sure the bedbugs are gone otherwise it’s a waste. I treat baseboards throughout the house

    Hi Jason. First of all ty ty so much for all
    Your videos super helpful for someone that has never experience this. Question we threw out our mattresses bed springs dressers in both rooms etc. Do you think there is still a lot in our carpet ? We have washed steamed our carpet. Bed bug bite spray and dust for carpet. Along w alcohol vinegar & baking soda ? Not sure what else to do. I feel like I’m going crazy ! Any tips or suggestions would be so helpful !

    Damm I am just looking at that couch and can figure out the cost of it. The thing that bothers me the most is when you think that simply throwing the furniture away will solve the problem with a bit of otc spray and when you get the new furniture same problem.
    I really really hate these bugs. I remember one crawled in my ear once and I had to flush it out. I have had many hours of restless sleep and it's just horrible. It feels like torture really. Just horrible. 😔😔😢😢😢
    You sir will definately get my donation for your helping people in need. I threw my furniture away because of this problem. Its heartbreaking it really is and I'm an ultra clean person. I just can't stand these lil demons.
    Its horrible to feel you cant own quality furniture anymore. You cant even invite your friends and family over for fear that they might say something about you and tell others.

    Jason, I hope you see this. I trust you. I’ve been struggling with bedbugs in the walls, between apts since 2017. Downstairs tenant refuses to stop spraying repellent sprays. Pco came & refuses to treat til I can catch a live one. They’re so fast now & maybe wily. They hardly ever leave stains anymore & my platform bed is metal with just folding mattress ( I’m done buying real beds).
    The classic musty odor is really bad at night & gone in the morning.
    Bugs bite til almost 5 am- gotta be huge infestation by now.
    I’ve been spraying Crossfire 2x a week since May. Cimexa in interceptors & edges of wall to wall. Please help?

      Thanks for the response. I been getting a lot of mix answers. From throwing away everything, to treating every personal belonging and sealing it, to emptying all drawers and cabinets and spray on every cracks there. Vacuum everywhere, steam everywhere, And of course, sprinkling DE everywhere like it's winter.
      Then I see other places saying you don't need to do those things. Just basic cleanup so you can get around the house to spray/powder. Unless there are signs of bedbugs in a specific drawer/cabinet. Moving things too much might make them spread everywhere instead.
      Your information is a lot more helpful than most DIY on RUclips.

It was $1200 to treat our whole house just in case...but ya I couldn't imagine living with that! Seriously call until you get one that will take payments. Or help you out if you need. Call and ask!! Seriously don't live with it. No human being should live with this. Thanks so much for all you do!

You have given us hope that we can finally get rid of them by your video. We thank you for that. I am 66 years old and had never in my life seen a bedbug until I stayed at a high end hotel and woke up with a handful of bites. I didn't see any bugs on me or in the bed but guess one snuck into my luggage and the creepy crawly came home with me. We've sprayed many times in the last year so that tells me that Ortho isn't the answer. I'm sure it's helped because we don't have many but I won't stop until there are NONE left.

We do not have a huge budget, and this is a struggle right now.

I get bit but never see anything bite me. I never see anything on me. It used to happen when I'd sit on the couch.

This family had a bad infestation of cockroaches. but ever since that TV program aired back in the 1880s I have not seen one extermination company use that method?

Should I do the inside of the draws, lamps, the night table? The kitchen? Where the plants are? Should I bag up all of my personal belongs first and spray inside the bag? Should I spray the books? I am confused in what to spray. I get the logic, spray where people spend more time in. My roommate sleeps in the couch downstairs, similar to the big one you sprayed , he is getting bitten. Should I spray the floor near the couch too? Last questions, you said no mattress encasement, my roommate won't listen to me, he said he will put the encasement in once i spray his mattress, I am assuming i am going to spray the whole thing, including the top and bottom of the mattress. I told him wait three hours before putting the mattress encasement in. Is that okay? He will not compromise about letting go of his mattress encasement.

    Jason, thanks so much for your videos, I need your help! I saw somewhere that we can private message you, I'm interested in a phone consultation. I dunno where to post this, I'll look for maybe the most current weekly videos.
