this helps a lot. i have to take the bus to work everyday and i work at goodwill so i’m at double high risk. i got this job after dealing with bed bugs and it makes me really nervous everyday when i go home. its only been almost two months since my last treatment and every itchy bump makes me scared. i always throw my clothes in the washer and dryer everyday as soon as i get home off the bus and keep my purse and shoes in a big ziplock bag.
We bought a steamer, mattress covers and bought crossfire and it took us 6 months to get rid of them. After we bought a set of used bunk bed. I knew nothing about bedbugs. What a NIGHTMARE.
We are military and moved into military base housing in May and used an U-Haul truck. One week ago we found bed bugs in my daughters room. We had an exterminator come out and he thinks the bed bugs were either in our house or we could have gotten them from the moving truck. He sprayed the entire house yesterday and I have watched several of your videos and ordered Crossfire. You have calmed my nerves completely however I do have a question. I checked our pillows and could not find anything, should I just throw them away or should I throw them in the dryer? Thank you for all of your videos and informing all of us. You seriously are a lifesaver and a great guy. Thank you for all you do!
Yeah I actually had an issue with this but the other person was in the wrong they new I was looking for a couch and offered it to us and told us it was nice. When we got it home it smelled like dog and was all ripped up and my brother had noticed a bug on him but he’s blind so he wasn’t sure what kind of bug it was, but he told me to check the furniture very thoroughly because we had had issues with bedbugs before when we lived in apartments. I checked every seem on the couch and found 2 live bedbugs on it we threw it out immediately and I contacted the person who claimed that they didn’t know they had the bugs. I think they just wanted someone to hall off the couch for free. Will never be getting used furniture or clothes again unless it’s from trustworthy family or friends.
Hi, Green Akers. I watch you often on TH-cam. You are easy to listen to and understand. Someone said we had bed bugs. I couldn't find any, so I tried oxygen in a can, and they came out. Give it a try, and let me know what you think. Thank you, Kim
This was a really really great topic! I absolutely love hearing how to prevent them. I once lived in an apartment and only after spraying, bleaching my hard objects, and spraying our plastic bins for packing did we finally win when we moved out. Our apartment was horrible and sprayed every week for roaches and bed bugs and yet the spray did nothing because they took the cheapest and worst options. Only because of your content was I able to fight back myself. Sincerely, thank you for your work.
There's a few questions I've heard speculation on. If an adult can feed, they can live up to 7 years. True or false? An adult can live up to 18 months on one meal. I've heard you say that. Now if a nymph hatches with no meals, how long can they survive? And what stage will they grow to no meals? Saying like an abandoned house for instance.
Now since this video, this gave me a new point of view. I'm planning on treating a small rooming house where my dad lives with Crossfire. Due to my dad giving me a mild infestation last November (which I nip in the bud quick). The other day my dad told me the owner of the home hasn't called an exterminator in almost two years. The only reason I'm doing this job for cheap (at a loss) because I want to spend time with my dad (who's almost 65 years old) WITHOUT worrying about will he leave a few bed bugs in my car or home. I really don't understand how people can just live places and not consider doing something about their pest issue. I just can't wrap my head around this mindset, it is frustrating.
My husband drives a guy to work who lives in a motel in the city...a small motel. When I brought this subject up my husband totally lost his mind on me saying I hate this guy (whom I never met and I do not hate him) said he was gonna leave me and take everything because I was saying it was from him... Although I didn't say it was ..mI said it was a possibility because they hit him first...we have lived in our place for 1.5 years with no problems. I am gonna treat with crossfire and then alpine after...but since he lost his mind on me I am gonna have to hope this alpine can keep the newer ones out??? Thanks.
Hello,brought crossfire in jan.22 and sprayed the mattress box Spring under bed behind bed. Under Furniture. It's May 22 have seen a few lately do I need to spray again? Please help me. I live in Texas
I just recently came to stay with my friends and she has 2 grown dog's and I recently killed a few.. they are black and fast and round I've seen tick's on dog's.. not for anything but she is very dirty..
I have put a bed bug cover on my mattress. But I lay in bed and feel little things crawling on me. I can’t see them but I feel them. I spray my body with alcohol and it stops for a moment and then I feel them somewhere else and I spray it. I’m going crazy!! No money to get spray.
My spouse is not getting bit but I am. Huge welts/bites. Doctor said it was bites but not sure if it was from bed bugs. I was floored as I’m a fanatic about cleanliness. Not sure if it matters but I can be sitting next to my spouse and I get chewed by mosquitoes and my spouse doesn’t get one bite.
Mosquitoes like certain blood types more than others and will bite a person with a certain blood type over a person with a different blood type. Might be the same thing with bed bugs?
Is alpine the only product you use in your own home for prevention? Do you use it every month or do you rotate in other products? I have no issues currently but am looking for good preventative measures for all bugs.
@@GreenAkersPC I've read the label on Alpine WSG and it allows 1-3 packets of 10g for a gallon of finished solution for bed bugs and roaches. Is 1 packet/gallon enough for monthly preventative maintenance?
I tried to order from your Amazon store and it says Cross Fire can not be shipped to California. Do you know why? I can’t find any information it has been outlawed here. Thank you
@@GreenAkersPC Then how are people in UK supposed to fight this bed bug problem? I understand it's not your fault they ban the good stuff in UK, but it's just so frustrating.
Not sure when you started endorsing Alpine. Glad I just purchased a gallon of Crossfire after watching 60 hours of your videos. Final Answer Alpine? Really?
Alpine WSG works on a preventative basis. I use it everywhere for general pest control and haven’t had infestation issues anywhere as long as I’m using it on a prevention basis. Crossfire for infested homes
MITES ARE MY PROBLEM ! WILL CROSS FIRE KILL THOSE EVIL LITTLE MONSTERS? YES I TOOK MY OTHER SONS USED BED AND IT HAD AN OLD BOX SPRING I THINK THATS WHERE THEY CAME FROM. I SAID NEVER BUY USED FURNITURE! ANYMORE! YEP PEOPLE BRING BUGS INTO YOUR HOUSE!

How bad was ur infestation?

Just toss the pillows in the dryer and you should be golden

Hi there, what is oxygen in a can, is it the spray to blow on keyboards? So how’d you do it, spray and they ran out?

A nymph dies in 4 months and an adult can live 10-18 months but not 7 years.

How did you treat the mild infestation in your place?
My husband drives a guy to work who lives in a motel in the city...a small motel.

Doing house clearance ,or getting furniture from auctions can bring these in you home, I know because it happened to me
They were in the apartment when i moved in! I wasn’t familiar w/them at all. It took me over a year to come to the realization i had them.
We have a gypsy dog that goes to my home and at least one more home. Would they get on the dog? Also do they bite animals
Woke up with bites inspected the mattress for bugs can't find them ordered the Crossfire, subscribed to the channel great information, thank you
look for black spots which are their droppings and for small little rice shaped eggs in any cracks or crevices
Hello,brought crossfire in jan.22 and sprayed the mattress box Spring under bed behind bed. Under Furniture. It's May 22 have seen a few lately do I need to spray again? Please help me. I live in Texas
Yes I would treat again
After how many weeks?
I just recently came to stay with my friends and she has 2 grown dog's and I recently killed a few.. they are black and fast and round I've seen tick's on dog's.. not for anything but she is very dirty..
If it’s that easy to spread why doesn’t everybody have them?
I have put a bed bug cover on my mattress. But I lay in bed and feel little things crawling on me. I can’t see them but I feel them. I spray my body with alcohol and it stops for a moment and then I feel them somewhere else and I spray it. I’m going crazy!! No money to get spray.
This is incredibly unhealthy for you and can cause a lot of issues. Crossfire is usually less than 40 bucks
I have chemical sensitivty. What can I use to prevent bed bugs once a month? White Vinegar, essential oils? Thanks
Alpine WSG works better than any "all natural" remedy and can be used around those with chemical sensitivity
Hey does crossfire work for fleas?
Is cross fire spray good for spot treatment and cars? We were treated 2 weeks ago with it from a exterminator
The actual liquid treated with *
I treat cars with crossfire all the time
Is this a natural product?
Flea's plea any info
My spouse is not getting bit but I am. Huge welts/bites. Doctor said it was bites but not sure if it was from bed bugs. I was floored as I’m a fanatic about cleanliness.

Alpine is all I use for preventative. Rotation isn’t really important unless you are having issues with resistance
@@GreenAkersPC I've read the label on Alpine WSG and it allows 1-3 packets of 10g for a gallon of finished solution for bed bugs and roaches. Is 1 packet/gallon enough for monthly preventative maintenance?
Is Alpine works for bed bug too? Because it said this is for general use. I don't know if bed bug is included in "general".
I tried to order from your Amazon store and it says Cross Fire can not be shipped to California. Do you know why? I can’t find any information it has been outlawed here. Thank you
When you order crossfire on Amazon does it come with a sprayer?
Crossfire is king and so are you Jason. Thanks a ton!!!!
Hey I had bed bugs two years ago and I woke up with bites. I think they came back. Should I use crossfire again?
I would yes
Thanks, taxis, buses, airplanes anywhere you sit down. absolutely no second hand anything ever.
do you use Cross fire as monthly BED BUG pest control?
I do on preventive accounts where it’s a high risk of reinfestation
Hi…. How do you get rid of silverfish…..
th-cam.com/video/kUHEtb0Duh8/w-d-xo.html
They have always had monthly pest control there but they don’t use pesticides for bedbugs!!! They admitted it ( pest control company)
Can a booklice be mistaken for a bed bug nymph?
I guess. People mistake carpet beetles for them as well and I have no idea how they can….
Great video. We can't buy crossfire in UK, do you know if there is an alternative, same chemicals different name maybe? Thanks
Not sure. I know most neonics are banned in the UK
@@GreenAkersPC Then how are people in UK supposed to fight this bed bug problem?

WE HAD THEM, NIGHTMARE, ,SO WE GOT MATTRESS EN BOX SPRING COVERS, EN SPRAYED THE FURNITURE, EN SO ON, SO FAR NO BITES OR ACTIVITY,
She is not a truthful person. I just washed her sheets and blankets with hot water.. and the minute she got home.. I started seeing them again
MITES ARE MY PROBLEM ! WILL CROSS FIRE KILL THOSE EVIL LITTLE MONSTERS? YES I TOOK MY OTHER SONS USED BED AND IT HAD AN OLD BOX SPRING I THINK THATS WHERE THEY CAME FROM. I SAID NEVER BUY USED FURNITURE! ANYMORE! YEP PEOPLE BRING BUGS INTO YOUR HOUSE!
Crossfire will not kill mites
