Heat is the best way to get rid of bed bugs. I had them a month ago. All I did was set up two small space heaters, put them on the highest setting, turned on my small fan to circulate the heat and I let the heaters run for like 12 hours or more for five days. It would get so hot that the skin lotions I use were watery. I even had a bottle of water in my room that was warm. It's been a month now and I haven't seen one bed bug. Heat definitely gets the job done.
@@misscandy84wow, 2 space heaters almost certainly overloading the outlets, going in a confined space at 140F for a week…and don’t forget the highly flammable rubbing alcohol accelerant. What could possibly go wrong?
They share a symbiotic relationship to a larger predator. The predator uses them find it's prey in the night. When the scent of the bugs is picked up it makes its way into the house and paralyzes the bedbugs' host. Once prey is found it will always be able to track the said subject even when the prey leaves and sleeps away from the bed bugs. I have been bed bug free for over a year. I get visited in the night every once in a while. I recently had someone I know go through a very bad case of bad bugs and decided to help them. The night before they discovered that they had bedbugs I had a visitation at my own house. I am not dead yet so I am not sure if it is paralyzing the host to retrieve bedbugs from the bed/nest or if it is taking something else. Visiting while there are no bed bugs would suggest that the predator feeds in another manner. A lot of people experiencing sleep paralysis need to check for bedbugs. There is a possibility it is related. I will say this. I have begged the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue me from this predator every time. I am totally defenseless. There is no fighting back. Only Christ can save you. You will know helpless-ness and if you cry out to the messiah you will know mercy. The merciful shall obtain mercy. I have witnessed other families being ripped apart over the bugs. I've seen people throw everything they own away. But this predator can not be gotten rid of. Other people report nightmares or strange dreams. If you know anyone being tracked please comment here. Speak up. Dont brush it off as bad dreams. You will know the difference.
I did extensive cleaning for 3 days using foam bed bug spray and bed bug powder and wiped in the creases with a damp towel, I covered my mattress with a plastic bag you use for moving and taped the ends to seal, and then cover it with a bed bug blocker encasement to save money from buying a new mattress but I threw all my pillows away and washed my covers in very hot water. I had a minor case of bed bugs but I wasn't playing around.
Is it because bed bugs can’t climb on plastic? I have been dealing with a minor ongoing case of them for months and am losing my mind! I bought the Zapp Bug heater but I can only cook my clothes and sheets in it. I have burn marks all over my mattress because I run my irons over my mattress trying to burn them away
I have a minor case I keep seeing them on the side of walls but I check my mattress every night and steam it. They keep appearing out of nowhere. I think they are hiding in the carpet.
I have been dealing with such serious anxiety lately with this reoccurring anxiety that I have bed bugs. But his video has seriously helped. Seeing what an infestation really looks like, and how it can be treated has eased my mind so much. Thank you thank you thank you for this video!!!
Having had bed bugs once, and in talking with people that have been through it, all say it left them with a ptsd of sorts. I AGREE🥺. One person said they would’ve rather have Covid(the one before the vax & was causing all those deaths early ok) than bed bugs. I agreed😩. It’s an anxiety/fear that we never get over.
@@msliz1029 Liz I haven't suffered from a bed bug infestation in about 8-9 years. I had nightmares, chronic anxiety and PTSD for years. I just got to a point where I can watch these videos but they still make me squirm. I had to seek therapy to get over it. Oh and this all happened because I took my pillow to a friend's house to sleep one night. That's all it took. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone.
putting DE (diatomaceous earth) in your bed, under the sheets (and also on you) will also help. but it can feel overly drying on the skin so dont be excessive...but your skin will* be gently exfoliated too. but dont inhale DE, it can scar the lungs, but this same feature is what tears up the exoskeleton of insects. DE will effectively neutralize ants also, but it isn't enouhgh on its own to combat bed bugs and fleas...even tho it does kill both
@@Mickey-wb3do INSPECT, inspect, inspect. An INFESTATION is quite obvious. AND a heat treatment is effective when you KNOW they've only been there for 12 hours - and are basically only on the mattress. BUT in a severe infestation with bugs in multiple places this method is only for immediate knockdown - it will not be able to get the bugs that have embedded themselves in the room or house. People with bedbugs tend to sleep in another room - and guess what. The bugs will seek and FIND blood! Thus, they cause the bugs to spread out more throughout the house. Heat treatment, in such a scenario, will most likely only chase the bugs away from one area/room for a little while. There needs to be another method to keep them from coming back and/or from reproducing, etc. While they are not known to spread disease, they are quite nasty with their droppings leaving heavy discoloration and all their other evidence. One man had them soo long it was thought that his medicine was losing effectiveness because his blood was being "syphoned" by the critters. Interesting fact: Seeing the bites and itching means that individual is allergic. IT is possible that another person in the same bed is getting bit, but not having an allergic reaction thinks the other person is crazy or has a rash of some sort. This is one reason why people do not even consider the possibility of having bedbugs - because only one person is having the reaction. Also, the DIY route is costly and when it fails you need a professional to intervene - calling a pro in the beginning could save money and frustration and possibly the PTSD some have mentioned.
@@aliceneal8666 If you found one be ready to see many more very soon. Heat treatment is the best. We paid over 2k to have someone come and spray. They came multiple times and we still have them. Now we are doing heat treatment next week. It is 3 a m and I am sitting here typing this because I can't sleep. I never even seen bed bugs until 10 years ago (live in Indianapolis) now seems they are everywhere. I head they come from Mexico. Not sure if true but would make sense because everyone coming to U S from Mexico recently.
It's great when a room like his is very clean with absolutely no clutter, but when you have to work with clutter...it's a nightmare to get rid of bedbugs. Heat treatment isn't always a solution when folks can't afford it.
You can use a cheap hand held steamer to go over your bed, clean out the room, then put diatomaceous earth, food grade, which is very cheap, all along the walls and the bed edges, etc. The DE dries them out and kills them all within days. Very inexpensive. Put the DE in your vacuum cleaner too so that any bugs you may vacuum up that are still alive will come into contact with the DE and die instead of coming back out of your vacuum.
Hahaha right ?? Omg I’m itchy just watching this!!! Sooo gross, he probably lives with them all the time. He seems like the type of dude with heaps of roaches in his kitchen and says something like “they kill the spiders and mosquitos“ or something lol
Remember, you must stop them from the SOURCE, or they just come back. Hint: Check your wall sockets, it is one of their favorite secret entrances and hiding places.
His method is smart. Because bed bugs cannot survive high temperature of 45 celcius+ for more then 2 hours Basicaly the bedroom tempeture should be like dubai or egypt in summer 😂
@@NicholasPeters1 I have seen them crawling out of wall sockets, you'd be surprised about where they hide, I also had them hide in my office chair wheels.
@@NicholasPeters1 When ever you have BBs, you are at WAR. Get 1. Diamatacious Earth from Home Depot, for bed and sofa legs. 2. Table salt. (sprinkle all over your carpet) it BURNS them, makes them retreat. 3. A spray bottle of 91% alcohol. (when you see them, it must touch them) 4. Invest in a furniture steamer. (for bed and sofa zippers and legs of sofa).
Yea and charging them $1000 for your every visits. No wonder you feel happy helping people with their pest problem... So, how many treatment does it take to get rid of the bedbug like 5 or 10 at $1000/visit... lol
@@whitetiger5181 nothing I could do about it most of the time it was apartments which we didn’t charge the people who live there only the people who own/run it.
DIATOMACEOUS EARTH! Spread it EVERYWHERE around your mattress, frame, and cracks around carpet. I spread it around the top of my mattress too, making a circle/ barrier for the bed bugs to crawl over in order to get to me. This is the only thing that worked after weeks of bombing, bed bug sprays, and washing all bedding. The powder is cheap and effective. Leave it down for a few days or longer( yes your house will look like a winter wonderland). Please research why, and how the powder effects them. Quick synopsis: It’s completely natural and dries their bodies out as they take it back to their colonies.
Doesn’t work. Have it all over my place. I purchased bed bug big jug of spray. It’s slowly getting rid of them but gotta do it every week till there’s no sign of them
You have to seal off the room too so they can't escape. Seal the cracks, the outlets, the windows, doors. Also it takes multiple times or heating it continuously for many days in a row just to make sure you got all the eggs and everything. Make sure to vacuum and clean everyday as well.
@@edwinhill1784 You hire professionals who specifically deal with bed bugs. They have the equipment to heat it tf up and create a bed bugs massacre. Never had these parasites myself, but if I ever encounter them in my home, they'll get the worst heat in their life. 😂
@@maverickcuellar7737 Steam clean your furniture and bedding. You can also wash them with hot water to kill the mites. It's not the same type of treatment. Just keep on vacuuming and keeping your home clean and the mites situation should clear out. You can buy flex 10-10 and use that, but read the labels before use and try it out to see if it leaves any stains (I'd recommend keeping any pets away from the areas). Good luck!
An additional layer of protection while living through this process is putting rat-trap sticky pads under each foot of your bed. That way the get stuck trying to reach you at night while you’re sleeping. Make sure to move you bed away from the wall and side tables tho and to make sure there are none on your mattress (use a sealed mattress protector), and pillows, sheets, and blankets which have been put in the dryer on hot for over 90 mins (kills BBs even the eggs)
They can easily crawl the wall even taking residence in your ceiling light fixtures. Like little kamikaze troopers can pinpoint your location dropping on you for a meal.
I have to say, I have found the thing about bedbugs hating light to be incorrect. I've had them come out, being very hungry because my bed was isolated, to try to feed on me in broad daylight. If they are hungry enough, they will not care about the light. That is a misconception.
@@Mssister00 No. I slept in two beds that were infested with bed bugs. In the AM the would completely stop biting me. I wouldn’t get up until 12pm ish. Never got bit after sunrise
Depend if you room get lot of strong lights especialy sun light. Its very irritating and uncomfortable to them I also do notice that when i turn on light randomly on night. Bed bugs stop what they are doing and immediatly rush to hide in their hiding spot. Light makes them nervous for some reason
Heat is definitely the best way to kill bed bugs. It is important to set up the room properly to avoid cold spots. Removing all of the bedding and setting the mattress and box spring in an A frame are two very important steps.
the heat treatment has to go on for at least 90 minutes depending on the infestation level and heat level. In about 30 minutes the whole room will be that temp regardless of where they are or the position. Heat is attracted to cold so it will fill every space eventually. unless ofc your house/room w/e is so drafty that the heat just dissipates away before actually heating anything up.
I paid 3014 dollars for a heat treatment and am still getting bitten every night. I treated the walls behind and next to my bed and still get bitten, every night. I am next going to try a biological insecticide. I won’t mention the name because I’m supposed to have a license to use it. I will apply it to the bed frame and the box springs (all mattresses are encased). And the walls in the bedroom. In order for this to work, they have to crawl across the lines of insecticide. Then they take the poison back to their nests, where it kills everything. The catch is you have to sleep and allow yourself to get fed on for at least two weeks. They have to feed on you and bring it back to their nests. There’s no way around this. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
I’ve had some bites show up and caught a couple. Notified my apartment landlord and she wants me to pay for the treatment plan which I declined. There is 12 other people living in this complex and constantly moving in and out. How they can put the blame on me is beyond ridiculous. I suggest anyone in an apartment complex to deal with it themselves
diatomaceous earth works good put it at base of dividing walls it cuts them to shreds my neighbors that live on both sides of me had them also put a strip of double sided tape the full length of door opening plate! I never got them thank God!
@@tarunpandey8339 Sometimes , but I have still seeing them in my clothes because they move around under your clothes. i still have those little critters move around. i use a lot of baking soda detergent. if you feel scraping on your around your neck or shoulder and it feels about the size of a green pea, you know that is one. pinch it and there are two red spots , it's a bed bug.
@@decemberlove1221 not quite, but you have to know where they hide. You see are that effective. They come out mostly when it is warm. If you have a bad infestation it may take longer. Get a big box of baking soda and sprinkle it on your bed around the box springs and any where you see black on mattress. Rub it in. Take off your pillow case off your pillow because they like to hide in there. Wash them. Take your hand and rub the baking soda in the sheet around the sides of the bed. If you lay down for few min, don't undress , they may come up on the bed. You can grind them in the baking soda.
I"ve tried this method. In a small apartment. Yes, it did work for a few nights, and then they were back with the flag held high. The heat in that apartment was absolutely torrid. Turns out that the critters are in other apartments of the complex I live in. They found their way back through the electrical wiring conduits of the building (or so me thinks). So..... a yes and a no....you'd have to do every apartment in your building for a lengthy cure......and even then I'm not at all sure that a few which are bound to survive begin the cycle all over again. As for a house, I think it simply has far too many hiding places for the little fuckers and their eggs to be totally exterminated. The only reason these little pain causing, sleep depriving parasitic bastards haven't taken over the world yet, is that they know if they kill us humans off, they will be in moocho trouble themselves.
You're right, in an apartment or multi-unit housing complex your neighbors will need to be treated as well - which makes things very expensive and why most building owners or managers won't bother doing it. This method can work great in single family homes, but due to it's cost it's not a great alternative for multi-unit dwellings. The other thing to point out is that many pest control companies don't use heat treatments properly; which is to say that they don't leave the heat on long enough and/or they only monitor they ambient air temperature and do not use probes to ensure that the heat is penetrating in to the center of your furniture or walls. This is usually only practiced by smaller, fly by night companies that don't back up their work with warranties. Heat CAN work very effectively, but like most things in this world IT HAS TO BE DONE PROPERLY. I am a professional pest control technician working on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Using heat and than the DE powder should definitely work.. The powder can be put in small areas the heat may not have gotten 100%.. Any Cracks... Wall outlets... Etc. Etc..
The bugs he DID show weren't even running away from light when he pulled the cover off. None of them. This whole thing looks staged as fuck. That dog didn't even act like it was ACTUALLY trained to find bedbugs. Looked like it was trained pretty good, but he wouldn't have to go pointing "here, now check here" and then the one time he had to tell him twice, if that dog had the same training "regime" (regimen, not regime) as a bomb sniffing dog, he would've been able to just let go of the leash and let the dog do its thing.
I don't think bed bugs run from light. They aren't cockroaches. The only reason they primarily comes out at night is because that is when people sleep.
Twice I have lived in buildings with bed bugs, and while so many others were continuing to be infested, I was able to rid my living space of the critters all together. I used three tactics that have worked every time. 1. Wrapping mattress and boxspring in the thick Moving Plastic that comes on on brand new mattresses and taping up any breathing holes in the plastic with duct tape. The Bug resistant pillow covers work well, but the ones they make for mattresses have too much stitching and folds that bedbugs still can nest in. So just straight plastic. 2. Using a microfiber blanket with no seams or stitched ribbing. 3. Spray everything down with straight rubbing alcohol until damp. It not only will dissolve the critters and their eggs, but it also drys them out internally. If the alcohol doesn't work immediately spray a little more. 1-2 saturating sprays will kill them dead. NOTE: a fourth trick that can be used is to fill four tuna cans just little bit with rubbing alcohol and place those under your bed post leg. This prevents the bugs from even being able to get to your bed. But do this along with the plastic, microfiber blanket. There are sites and articles that claim that the alcohol doesn't work, But I'm telling you, it does, and you'll always notice that those sites are trying to sell you some other product or service.
thank you BIG MAN . I am suffering for 6-7 months now and it is the first time when somebody tells me the truth about the chemicals I used and never worked. I am turning on the oven
Be careful what you swallow. There are literally hundreds of different kinds bugs that can bite at night, many if them too small too see with the eye, such as "chiggers". Also did you notice how the camera person lifted the camera from the dog, just as it abruptly sat near the end of the video? I can almost guarantee you that dog will abruptly sit anytime it thinks a treat is coming. This was video probably shot at some poor sobs Air B n' B😂
Delta dust, D-fense SC and a heavy duty steamer took out the infestation in my sister's house. They were in the arm rest of her couch. The couch went to the dump. Find the nest, it's not always a bed. These things are a nightmare if you don't get control quickly. It's a good idea to get mattress protectors for every bed in your home.
All you need is a steamer. Like a handheld steamer. It's going to take a few days of doing treatment. if you have 3-4 hours out of your day. You can clear bed bugs on your own for cheap. Been there, Done it.
Trying different combinations of things. DIY home heat with a temp gun and ordering Gentrol IGR, Flex 10-10 and mix them. 6oz of Flex and 1oz of Gentrol to 1 gal of water in a sprayer. Heat room first i got it to 140 but at least 122 every section of baseboard,dressers etc research your temps and time needed to kill all cycles, after cool down,then spray baseboards,headboards, inside dressers,edge of carpet. Put ALL clothes in garbage bags,seperate bags of course,dirty get washed and dryed, already clean just dry on high heat. Buying some Sterilite gasket storage containers for your highly used clothes is recommended. Non-essentials after dryed can go in a garbage bag and put away for awhile. Vaccum mattress and box spring, treat mattress with just flex,then treat box spring with mix. Then ENCASE THEM. Bought mine off Amazon, you CANNOT skip this step.Boxspring and mattress encasements.Recommend traps under each bed leg. A few different dusters you can use, for wall sockets,also called gaps in baseboards or by outlet covers. I did tempo...tried black light flashlights no help, magnifying glass is useful, haven't seen any since. Treat every 10 days with the flex and gentrol mix. 6oz of flex 1oz gentrol..second and third time 5ozs of flex to 1oz of gentrol. After that I would gentrol every 3 weeks. Pyrid and Bedlam plus are also good for nooks and crannies. Good luck hope this helps because paying someone to heat the whole house is expensive. And you gotta think are any in the walls deep to where they survived? That's why I DIY my heat and then insecticides AND IF I see anymore my last ditch will be a product called Aprehend...those of you in apartments or townhomes I would just go straight for that, because you can't control your neighbors. But with Aprehend it's like Coronavirus for bedbugs. It's a biopesticide, you spray around the matress and your basically bait, but when they go back after feeding they infect the whole nest around them...pretty cool.
Fr bro my parents ain't even agreeing that there are bugs in our bed even when I told them they are very good at hiding, still they never fail to say no when buying DE
Right after he did his first minutes of his show, he had the exterminator waiting in the living room to do his room up. This was truly a very sad demonstration. Yes, heat does kill them buggers but who wants to pay for the expense after 12 hour use of those huge heaters. May as well call for the exterminator. My suggestion to keep them from going to you while waiting for exterminator to show, try using Vicks Vapor rub. My friend's uncle had them bugs, used Vicks, rubbed the cream all around his bed and pillows but not heavy or else you won't be able to breath. Just small dabs of it. Rub a small amount on yourself wherever you think is best. That was his directions for use with the Vicks and he said it worked 100%. He said he had to wait couple days for exterminator to spray his place. It must burn them from it's strong flaming scent. For myself, if I had them crawling around my place, I would definitely throw everything out, including blankets and clothes, wooden picture frames, except for silverware , glasses and other miscellaneous stuff that can't possibly have any space for bugs to crawl into to hide their despicable hideous creepy ugly looks. Clean the place, have exterminator do his thing and move out. Heck with months notice, they should not have been there in first place when caretaker told me she never had problems with bedbugs or any kind of bug for that matter. But which caretaker is going to admit there's been problems with bedbugs in the suite or house. They most likely lose out customers.
Other videos I've watched mentioned that they can be in the walls (for example, around electrical outlets) where it can be difficult to get the temperature that high.
Pretty sure that is why the length of the treatment and the 141 on the thermometer. After a few hours all those places will be permeated. In my apartment, in the summer, once it gets roasted for a full day of sun, it takes 2-3 days to cool back off, once the heat wave passes. Great for keeping away bed bugs, but hell for working and sleeping in (no A/C).
@@GetMeThere1 141 in the house, that better than close too summer sun for the inside. How hot does you place heat up in the summer? Humans can't even live at that temp.

Or what about ticks? All they do is suck blood until you die, along with bedbugs. They should have died off like the dinosaurs and would never be missed.
Excellent product, I like that there are no chemical's used. When I had bedbugs, anyone can get them, they cling to cloths ie. can pick them up at a theatre, the gym which is where I think I picked one up, library ect... I hired a company whom used heat to kill them this worked, but the key is the heat must be over 48 degrees C. the eggs and adults all die at this temp, leaving the heat at this temp for 6 hours. I will remember this product for next time. But if bedbugs get into books and boxes, this product would damage the books. I also had to take all my books I had stored out of boxes and put them in plastic tubs or on the floor as heat does not penetrate cardboard very well. Even if one was hiding in a book, that lone bug could start a whole new population. I also sealed off my bedroom, this is the only place I found them as this is where the food source is, so they would not get anywhere else in my apartment. I have not seen one in four years.

Serious question, since I didn't see the entire room layout: what prevents them from running under the door, since they can move 100 feet a day and can fit anywhere as thin as a sheet of paper?
I used to treat bed bugs for years, they were my specialty. The heat method shown in this video is a very bad method. It will drive them further into a room to escape from the heat, and make them that much harder to treat. The real way to treat for them is to use micro encapsulated pesticides with a mix of other treatments. Dusting, wall injections, the works.
The best way is actually using heat treatment not poison. Bed bugs aren’t like other bugs so the bed bugs don’t absorb the poison always. The answer to your question is they heat up every room in the house not only the bed room.
@@semicolon7202 I got quoted for $2,500 for my home. I called multiple exterminators over a month and only two returned my call. Sadly most by me don't offer heat treatment
i own a K9 bedbug detection company, i have 2 dogs highly trained with thousands of inspection and trust me 24 hrs after heat treatment the dogs will 100% FALSE ALERT on dead bedbugs, you MUST wait at least 7 to 10 days to be sure the odor is gone...
Wow. Bold demonstration! I think the best way is to prevent bed bugs! When at hotels be careful where you put your luggage! Put them on the stand. And when you get home clean all laundry in hot water
Brent Miller get fucked, you find curse words in literally every form of media and in the real world, your kid is highly likely already aware of most if not all curse words and if he's not he will as soon as he steps out of your sheltered world
I can accept that heat can get them if they have just arrived and haven't spread far. But if you got them once, there is a good chance that you'll revisit the place where you picked them up and get them again; I've heard that, I think, 40% of NYC subway cars are infested. You need to make your house and furniture so hostile that even if they get back in, they won't live. I used mostly bleaching-cleanser (Comet, Ajax, etc.), water, DE and WD-40 to get rid of them, and they won't come back if they know what's best for them.
Actually, it's kind of hard to take them home or bring them places with you, they don't cling very well, the only way you could take them home with you is if they're in your pocket
@@bappoisfruito5045hats good to know, because I got a free couch and sprayed it with flea and tick killer to make sure I wasn't bringing fleas in, so I didn't notice the first bed bug until a couple weeks after getting the sectional, it's like the flea and tick killer made them hide and not come out of the couch for a little bit, and I had been to my buddies house a couple times after that, so I was worried I might have took them over there, this is the first time I'd ever even seen a bed bug in real life, I immediately vacuumed every nook and cranny in my house and sprayed the couch with white vinegar before going to work, a home remedy said to help kill/ get rid of them, after work I got a matress cover for my mattress and bedspring, I also got ortho home defense max bed bug spray and sprayed the entire sectional, along with all the baseboards and every electrical outlet in my house, even the hardwood floors got sprayed down, after that dried I put down DE all over on baseboards, dusted inside electrical outlets, around all the legs of sectional and ottoman, also around the legs of my bed, I havent seen any more since I started cleaning and treating a few days ago, not saying they are gone that quick, tho one can hope, I'm just hoping I caught it early enough to where I can get rid of them on my own, I just bought the house a couple months ago, so I really dont have money to be hiring an exterminator to come in right now
Lol when I heard you say you were gonna put them into your bed, my first thought was "Jeez! This guy is freaking MAD!" Then I realised that this was a really good way to advertise the effectiveness of his treatments... Wow.
I bought a 140,000 BTU kerosene heater and treated 2 large rooms ( the infestation hadn’t had time to spread) in my house, I got 170-200 degrees surface temperatures, maintained it for 9 hours… worked great… melted the vinyl window blinds.. but It turned my Bed Bugs into Dead Bugs .. ☠️☠️☠️
My last house had those same older side-sliding windows. They don't seal the greatest but we really liked them so we opted to keep them instead of replacing. Heat treating is so expensive, I wish it weren't.
I have never tried this method before. Where would you suggest buying this heating equipment? Also, what should I do with explosive items in the apartment like aerosol cans of WD 40 and other stuff when heating?
Obviously, this video is a sales pitch, so he's showing only what his product/service can offer. He has a link in the description for a rental service he offers for the heaters, but they're $350 per day. Pretty pricey if you ask me...
@@UndertakerU2ber seriously. , and that does not include the huge increase to your electric bill . I was wondering if my small room heater plus the hvac heater in fl would work
Bed bugs were an old wives tale when I was growing up, born in 1974 , never saw a damn bed bug until I was in my 20s.. we eradicated them in the USA, but the rest of the world just rolled back over and went to sleep. .
I tried the heat treatment! I figured i would fix these little pricks and really really turn up the heat!! So i did and left for a while and when i got back i was greeted by the Fire Department and they informed me their are no more bed bugs the heat treatment really worked!
heating is effective, however, bedbugs may flee the heat and thus enter other rooms or neighbours. They' re not that dumb as to stay put if they have a means of escape. This is one of few problems with heat treatment, especially if you are living in an appartment.
Diet-o-matious (spelling) earth in a puff bottle after cleaning EVERYTHING inside and out. Dismantling every part of your dresser and bed night stand etc with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Squirt alcohol directly on the bed bugs to kill them. After everything is clean including clothing and drapes and sheets.... Puff that earth powder i mentioned under baseboards inside outlets and light switches and on frame of bed etc. Very light amount. It dries out the bed bugs to aid in killing any missed. Good luck.
Heat treating a room at those temperatures can do serious damage to wooden floors and furniture causing it to expand and contract once cooled down and this will cause separation of floors boards and wooden joints in furniture. Not to mention any electronics you may have in there and wallpaper and paint and pictures and most things
I suppose you won’t find the bed bugs spreading with Curley by your side!

To state that a 147 F degree heat treatment will kill bed bugs completely is a bit suspecious at best. Bed bugs are persistent, evasive and good survivors. They can survive without food (blood in this case ) for nearly 530 days. That is some endurance that ensures their survival. Best way to kill bed bugs is do a combination of heat, followed by chemical, followed by heat. In between you have to persistently locate their eggs and get rid of them using boric acid, bleach and scratch the surface of their egg nest with heavy brush. Be patient. It will take a month because their eggs take 2 weeks to hatch. The first heat treatment will kill their hatched young ones and adults. Then follow that by an immediate application of chemicals to kill the eggs. Apply hard nosed search and destroy inspection, especially around beds and couches. Dont be lazy. Work on detailed inspection. One more thing, dry all your clothing and any fabric in the dryer during each treatment. End by applying another round of heat. Also, it is important to know the source of the bed bugs. Are they living and breeding in your box spring and mattress, or are they coming from your neighbors through shared conduits? If the latter, then you have a bigger problem.
I haven't tried heating the whole room, but I know that temps of 122 degrees and above will kill them. I wash clothes in the kitchen sink with the hottest wateer that comes out of the faucet, and pour in a large pan of hard boiling water. That kills them in the clothes. They're not as active during the day, but some still bite. I have to get all bugs off of me before I lay down or sit on the bed, or else I just reintroduce bed bugs myself by carrying them onto the bed.
Oh Dude ! Putting live bedbugs into your own bed to prove your method works, that's taking advertising to a whole new level.

So true and our blood is the pay.
Heat is the best way to get rid of bed bugs. I had them a month ago. All I did was set up two small space heaters, put them on the highest setting, turned on my small fan to circulate the heat and I let the heaters run for like 12 hours or more for five days. It would get so hot that the skin lotions I use were watery. I even had a bottle of water in my room that was warm.
It's been a month now and I haven't seen one bed bug.
Heat definitely gets the job done.
Do you know approximately how hot you had it?

They share a symbiotic relationship to a larger predator. The predator uses them find it's prey in the night. When the scent of the bugs is picked up it makes its way into the house and paralyzes the bedbugs' host. Once prey is found it will always be able to track the said subject even when the prey leaves and sleeps away from the bed bugs. I have been bed bug free for over a year. I get visited in the night every once in a while. I recently had someone I know go through a very bad case of bad bugs and decided to help them. The night before they discovered that they had bedbugs I had a visitation at my own house. I am not dead yet so I am not sure if it is paralyzing the host to retrieve bedbugs from the bed/nest or if it is taking something else. Visiting while there are no bed bugs would suggest that the predator feeds in another manner. A lot of people experiencing sleep paralysis need to check for bedbugs. There is a possibility it is related. I will say this. I have begged the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue me from this predator every time. I am totally defenseless. There is no fighting back. Only Christ can save you. You will know helpless-ness and if you cry out to the messiah you will know mercy. The merciful shall obtain mercy. I have witnessed other families being ripped apart over the bugs. I've seen people throw everything they own away. But this predator can not be gotten rid of. Other people report nightmares or strange dreams. If you know anyone being tracked please comment here. Speak up. Dont brush it off as bad dreams. You will know the difference.
I wouldn't even want a dead one in my bed

I did extensive cleaning for 3 days using foam bed bug spray and bed bug powder and wiped in the creases with a damp towel, I covered my mattress with a plastic bag you use for moving and taped the ends to seal, and then cover it with a bed bug blocker encasement to save money from buying a new mattress but I threw all my pillows away and washed my covers in very hot water. I had a minor case of bed bugs but I wasn't playing around.
Is it because bed bugs can’t climb on plastic? I have been dealing with a minor ongoing case of them for months and am losing my mind! I bought the Zapp Bug heater but I can only cook my clothes and sheets in it. I have burn marks all over my mattress because I run my irons over my mattress trying to burn them away
He'd have to keep it super sealed for over a year so the bed bugs could starve they can go one full year without feeding
And did it work?
I have a minor case I keep seeing them on the side of walls but I check my mattress every night and steam it. They keep appearing out of nowhere. I think they are hiding in the carpet.

I have been dealing with such serious anxiety lately with this reoccurring anxiety that I have bed bugs. But his video has seriously helped. Seeing what an infestation really looks like, and how it can be treated has eased my mind so much. Thank you thank you thank you for this video!!!
Having had bed bugs once, and in talking with people that have been through it, all say it left them with a ptsd of sorts. I AGREE🥺. One person said they would’ve rather have Covid(the one before the vax & was causing all those deaths early ok) than bed bugs. I agreed😩. It’s an anxiety/fear that we never get over.
@@msliz1029 Liz I haven't suffered from a bed bug infestation in about 8-9 years. I had nightmares, chronic anxiety and PTSD for years. I just got to a point where I can watch these videos but they still make me squirm. I had to seek therapy to get over it. Oh and this all happened because I took my pillow to a friend's house to sleep one night. That's all it took. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone.
putting DE (diatomaceous earth) in your bed, under the sheets (and also on you) will also help. but it can feel overly drying on the skin so dont be excessive...but your skin will* be gently exfoliated too. but dont inhale DE, it can scar the lungs, but this same feature is what tears up the exoskeleton of insects. DE will effectively neutralize ants also, but it isn't enouhgh on its own to combat bed bugs and fleas...even tho it does kill both
@@Jason-TheChad-Muska_circa1995 is there any other way to do it if you don’t have a dog
@@Mickey-wb3do INSPECT, inspect, inspect. An INFESTATION is quite obvious. AND a heat treatment is effective when you KNOW they've only been there for 12 hours - and are basically only on the mattress. BUT in a severe infestation with bugs in multiple places this method is only for immediate knockdown - it will not be able to get the bugs that have embedded themselves in the room or house.
People with bedbugs tend to sleep in another room - and guess what. The bugs will seek and FIND blood! Thus, they cause the bugs to spread out more throughout the house. Heat treatment, in such a scenario, will most likely only chase the bugs away from one area/room for a little while.
There needs to be another method to keep them from coming back and/or from reproducing, etc.
While they are not known to spread disease, they are quite nasty with their droppings leaving heavy discoloration and all their other evidence. One man had them soo long it was thought that his medicine was losing effectiveness because his blood was being "syphoned" by the critters.
Interesting fact: Seeing the bites and itching means that individual is allergic. IT is possible that another person in the same bed is getting bit, but not having an allergic reaction thinks the other person is crazy or has a rash of some sort. This is one reason why people do not even consider the possibility of having bedbugs - because only one person is having the reaction.
Also, the DIY route is costly and when it fails you need a professional to intervene - calling a pro in the beginning could save money and frustration and possibly the PTSD some have mentioned.

I never even seen bed bugs until 10 years ago (live in Indianapolis) now seems they are everywhere. I head they come from Mexico. Not sure if true but would make sense because everyone coming to U S from Mexico recently.
It's great when a room like his is very clean with absolutely no clutter, but when you have to work with clutter...it's a nightmare to get rid of bedbugs. Heat treatment isn't always a solution when folks can't afford it.
You can use a cheap hand held steamer to go over your bed, clean out the room, then put diatomaceous earth, food grade, which is very cheap, all along the walls and the bed edges, etc. The DE dries them out and kills them all within days. Very inexpensive. Put the DE in your vacuum cleaner too so that any bugs you may vacuum up that are still alive will come into contact with the DE and die instead of coming back out of your vacuum.

Leave it down for a few days or longer( yes your house will look like a winter wonderland). Please research why, and how the powder effects them.

You have to seal off the room too so they can't escape. Seal the cracks, the outlets, the windows, doors.
Also it takes multiple times or heating it continuously for many days in a row just to make sure you got all the eggs and everything.
Make sure to vacuum and clean everyday as well.

You can buy flex 10-10 and use that, but read the labels before use and try it out to see if it leaves any stains (I'd recommend keeping any pets away from the areas).
Good luck!
An additional layer of protection while living through this process is putting rat-trap sticky pads under each foot of your bed. That way the get stuck trying to reach you at night while you’re sleeping. Make sure to move you bed away from the wall and side tables tho and to make sure there are none on your mattress (use a sealed mattress protector), and pillows, sheets, and blankets which have been put in the dryer on hot for over 90 mins (kills BBs even the eggs)

I have to say, I have found the thing about bedbugs hating light to be incorrect. I've had them come out, being very hungry because my bed was isolated, to try to feed on me in broad daylight. If they are hungry enough, they will not care about the light. That is a misconception.
@@Mssister00 No. I slept in two beds that were infested with bed bugs. In the AM the would completely stop biting me. I wouldn’t get up until 12pm ish. Never got bit after sunrise

I also do notice that when i turn on light randomly on night. Bed bugs stop what they are doing and immediatly rush to hide in their hiding spot. Light makes them nervous for some reason

Heat is definitely the best way to kill bed bugs. It is important to set up the room properly to avoid cold spots. Removing all of the bedding and setting the mattress and box spring in an A frame are two very important steps.
the heat treatment has to go on for at least 90 minutes depending on the infestation level and heat level. In about 30 minutes the whole room will be that temp regardless of where they are or the position. Heat is attracted to cold so it will fill every space eventually. unless ofc your house/room w/e is so drafty that the heat just dissipates away before actually heating anything up.
How do you treat a living room
I paid 3014 dollars for a heat treatment and am still getting bitten every night. I treated the walls behind and next to my bed and still get bitten, every night.
I am next going to try a biological insecticide. I won’t mention the name because I’m supposed to have a license to use it.
I will apply it to the bed frame and the box springs (all mattresses are encased). And the walls in the bedroom.
In order for this to work, they have to crawl across the lines of insecticide. Then they take the poison back to their nests, where it kills everything.
The catch is you have to sleep and allow yourself to get fed on for at least two weeks. They have to feed on you and bring it back to their nests. There’s no way around this.

Get a big box of baking soda and sprinkle it on your bed around the box springs and any where you see black on mattress. Rub it in. Take off your pillow case off your pillow because they like to hide in there. Wash them. Take your hand and rub the baking soda in the sheet around the sides of the bed. If you lay down for few min, don't undress , they may come up on the bed. You can grind them in the baking soda.

Damn right 😹
I"ve tried this method. In a small apartment. Yes, it did work for a few nights, and then they were back with the flag held high. The heat in that apartment was absolutely torrid. Turns out that the critters are in other apartments of the complex I live in. They found their way back through the electrical wiring conduits of the building (or so me thinks).
So..... a yes and a no....you'd have to do every apartment in your building for a lengthy cure......and even then I'm not at all sure that a few which are bound to survive begin the cycle all over again. As for a house, I think it simply has far too many hiding places for the little fuckers and their eggs to be totally exterminated. The only reason these little pain causing, sleep depriving parasitic bastards haven't taken over the world yet, is that they know if they kill us humans off, they will be in moocho trouble themselves.
You're right, in an apartment or multi-unit housing complex your neighbors will need to be treated as well - which makes things very expensive and why most building owners or managers won't bother doing it. This method can work great in single family homes, but due to it's cost it's not a great alternative for multi-unit dwellings.
The other thing to point out is that many pest control companies don't use heat treatments properly; which is to say that they don't leave the heat on long enough and/or they only monitor they ambient air temperature and do not use probes to ensure that the heat is penetrating in to the center of your furniture or walls. This is usually only practiced by smaller, fly by night companies that don't back up their work with warranties.
Heat CAN work very effectively, but like most things in this world IT HAS TO BE DONE PROPERLY. I am a professional pest control technician working on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
I don't have a heating machine i want what can kill bed bud faster with out tearing my pockets.
Using heat and than the DE powder should definitely work.. The powder can be put in small areas the heat may not have gotten 100%.. Any Cracks... Wall outlets... Etc. Etc..

The bugs he DID show weren't even running away from light when he pulled the cover off. None of them. This whole thing looks staged as fuck. That dog didn't even act like it was ACTUALLY trained to find bedbugs. Looked like it was trained pretty good, but he wouldn't have to go pointing "here, now check here" and then the one time he had to tell him twice, if that dog had the same training "regime" (regimen, not regime) as a bomb sniffing dog, he would've been able to just let go of the leash and let the dog do its thing.
I don't think bed bugs run from light. They aren't cockroaches. The only reason they primarily comes out at night is because that is when people sleep.
Blasting them with heat means he turned the room into an oven, and they do die above 50 degrees Celsius or 112 Fahrenheit

Twice I have lived in buildings with bed bugs, and while so many others
were continuing to be infested, I was able to rid my living space of the
critters all together. I used three tactics that have worked every
time. 1. Wrapping mattress and boxspring in the thick Moving Plastic
that comes on on brand new mattresses and taping up any breathing holes
in the plastic with duct tape. The Bug resistant pillow covers work
well, but the ones they make for mattresses have too much stitching and
folds that bedbugs still can nest in. So just straight plastic. 2. Using
a microfiber blanket with no seams or stitched ribbing. 3. Spray
everything down with straight rubbing alcohol until damp. It not only
will dissolve the critters and their eggs, but it also drys them out
internally. If the alcohol doesn't work immediately spray a little more.
1-2 saturating sprays will kill them dead. NOTE: a fourth trick that
can be used is to fill four tuna cans just little bit with rubbing
alcohol and place those under your bed post leg. This prevents the bugs
from even being able to get to your bed. But do this along with the
plastic, microfiber blanket. There are sites and articles that claim
that the alcohol doesn't work, But I'm telling you, it does, and you'll
always notice that those sites are trying to sell you some other product
or service.
Terrible and dangerous advice.

Trying different combinations of things. DIY home heat with a temp gun and ordering Gentrol IGR, Flex 10-10 and mix them. 6oz of Flex and 1oz of Gentrol to 1 gal of water in a sprayer. Heat room first i got it to 140 but at least 122 every section of baseboard,dressers etc research your temps and time needed to kill all cycles, after cool down,then spray baseboards,headboards, inside dressers,edge of carpet. Put ALL clothes in garbage bags,seperate bags of course,dirty get washed and dryed, already clean just dry on high heat. Buying some Sterilite gasket storage containers for your highly used clothes is recommended. Non-essentials after dryed can go in a garbage bag and put away for awhile. Vaccum mattress and box spring, treat mattress with just flex,then treat box spring with mix. Then ENCASE THEM. Bought mine off Amazon, you CANNOT skip this step.Boxspring and mattress encasements.Recommend traps under each bed leg. A few different dusters you can use, for wall sockets,also called gaps in baseboards or by outlet covers. I did tempo...tried black light flashlights no help, magnifying glass is useful, haven't seen any since. Treat every 10 days with the flex and gentrol mix. 6oz of flex 1oz gentrol..second and third time 5ozs of flex to 1oz of gentrol. After that I would gentrol every 3 weeks. Pyrid and Bedlam plus are also good for nooks and crannies. Good luck hope this helps because paying someone to heat the whole house is expensive. And you gotta think are any in the walls deep to where they survived? That's why I DIY my heat and then insecticides AND IF I see anymore my last ditch will be a product called Aprehend...those of you in apartments or townhomes I would just go straight for that, because you can't control your neighbors. But with Aprehend it's like Coronavirus for bedbugs. It's a biopesticide, you spray around the matress and your basically bait, but when they go back after feeding they infect the whole nest around them...pretty cool.
Thanks man 💯💯💯
i wish my dad had as much faith in me as this man has in his dog.
Fr bro my parents ain't even agreeing that there are bugs in our bed even when I told them they are very good at hiding, still they never fail to say no when buying DE
He found 4 out of 50 bugs 😂😂😂
They're good at hiding. But if he heated his whole room that would have killed them all.
Ey! You noticed to.
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Watching this while scratching my entire body
PETTI FETTI 😂😂😂😂
i was internally screaming when he poured the pan of bedbugs onto his sheets
Right after he did his first minutes of his show, he had the exterminator waiting in the living room to do his room up. This was truly a very sad demonstration. Yes, heat does kill them buggers but who wants to pay for the expense after 12 hour use of those huge heaters. May as well call for the exterminator.
My suggestion to keep them from going to you while waiting for exterminator to show, try using Vicks Vapor rub. My friend's uncle had them bugs, used Vicks, rubbed the cream all around his bed and pillows but not heavy or else you won't be able to breath. Just small dabs of it. Rub a small amount on yourself wherever you think is best. That was his directions for use with the Vicks and he said it worked 100%. He said he had to wait couple days for exterminator to spray his place. It must burn them from it's strong flaming scent. For myself, if I had them crawling around my place, I would definitely throw everything out, including blankets and clothes, wooden picture frames, except for silverware , glasses and other miscellaneous stuff that can't possibly have any space for bugs to crawl into to hide their despicable hideous creepy ugly looks. Clean the place, have exterminator do his thing and move out. Heck with months notice, they should not have been there in first place when caretaker told me she never had problems with bedbugs or any kind of bug for that matter. But which caretaker is going to admit there's been problems with bedbugs in the suite or house. They most likely lose out customers.
This works well, for about 3 days. I managed a 125 unit apartment community. The few times we had bed bugs…. Heat only worked for a couple days.
so what did you do to get rod of them permanently?
This… when they’re in the walls and shit, they come right back, and heat does nothing.
Crossfire, all the way.

He didn't even change his clothes at all 😂. 3 days later
It's a uniform...
It was 12 hours later smh
@@dsfavgrl my bad 😂
Other videos I've watched mentioned that they can be in the walls (for example, around electrical outlets) where it can be difficult to get the temperature that high.
Pretty sure that is why the length of the treatment and the 141 on the thermometer. After a few hours all those places will be permeated. In my apartment, in the summer, once it gets roasted for a full day of sun, it takes 2-3 days to cool back off, once the heat wave passes. Great for keeping away bed bugs, but hell for working and sleeping in (no A/C).
@@TheRadioAteMyTV Well, if he has a heater that's equivalent to the power of a summer sun, then all is good, lol.
@@GetMeThere1 141 in the house, that better than close too summer sun for the inside. How hot does you place heat up in the summer? Humans can't even live at that temp.

I'm going crazy I found some bed bugs in my bed I don't know where to call can anybody help me its 4 34 am and I can't sleep because of this animals
Heat only works if it gets to the bed bug . Between the mattress and box springs would be insulated from the heat
The step-by-step guide here is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you for breaking down the process of bed bug control in such a comprehensive way!
Are you a family member cause the level of bs fake clapping we got here reminds me of my mom patting my brother on his back after winning a last place trophy

This dog clearly got an F in bomb sniffing . Couldn’t make the bomb detection squad so they demoted her to bed bugs.
Of all things extinct, why not these guys (bed bugs) and cockroaches? Add mosquitoes. Ugh!
Because they live alongside the most successful animal...humans. But I agree with you
Or what about ticks? All they do is suck blood until you die, along with bedbugs. They should have died off like the dinosaurs and would never be missed.
HotFlash And wasps!!!
& snakes & spiders!
@Peach Wolf You're the ignorant one. The world is better off without bedbugs and ticks. Bedbugs especially since they help nothing.
Excellent product, I like that there are no chemical's used. When I had bedbugs, anyone can get them, they cling to cloths ie. can pick them up at a theatre, the gym which is where I think I picked one up, library ect... I hired a company whom used heat to kill them this worked, but the key is the heat must be over 48 degrees C. the eggs and adults all die at this temp, leaving the heat at this temp for 6 hours. I will remember this product for next time. But if bedbugs get into books and boxes, this product would damage the books. I also had to take all my books I had stored out of boxes and put them in plastic tubs or on the floor as heat does not penetrate cardboard very well. Even if one was hiding in a book, that lone bug could start a whole new population. I also sealed off my bedroom, this is the only place I found them as this is where the food source is, so they would not get anywhere else in my apartment. I have not seen one in four years.

Serious question, since I didn't see the entire room layout: what prevents them from running under the door, since they can move 100 feet a day and can fit anywhere as thin as a sheet of paper?
I used to treat bed bugs for years, they were my specialty. The heat method shown in this video is a very bad method. It will drive them further into a room to escape from the heat, and make them that much harder to treat. The real way to treat for them is to use micro encapsulated pesticides with a mix of other treatments. Dusting, wall injections, the works.
The best way is actually using heat treatment not poison. Bed bugs aren’t like other bugs so the bed bugs don’t absorb the poison always. The answer to your question is they heat up every room in the house not only the bed room.
@@semicolon7202 I got quoted for $2,500 for my home. I called multiple exterminators over a month and only two returned my call. Sadly most by me don't offer heat treatment
I work for a company called alliance we have locations in Vegas all over California and Washington . Are you located in any of these states ?
@@semicolon7202 no, Connecticut
l used a hand held hair dryer-it works great and l put Boric Acid Roach Powder under my bed and that got rid of the bugs.
i own a K9 bedbug detection company, i have 2 dogs highly trained with thousands of inspection and trust me 24 hrs after heat treatment the dogs will 100% FALSE ALERT on dead bedbugs, you MUST wait at least 7 to 10 days to be sure the odor is gone...
All you need is 91% rubbing alcohol or get you a bedbug steamer, either way. That alcohol kills them and their eggs.
You’re crazy but sincere. Thanks for the demonstration.
Wow. Bold demonstration! I think the best way is to prevent bed bugs! When at hotels be careful where you put your luggage! Put them on the stand. And when you get home clean all laundry in hot water
are you kidding me Wat the hell is wrong with you
Jeff Rutan he is a nut
11 year old is watching this video watch your mouth
Brent Miller get fucked, you find curse words in literally every form of media and in the real world, your kid is highly likely already aware of most if not all curse words and if he's not he will as soon as he steps out of your sheltered world
Jeff Rutan.
he didn’t do anything wrong, he simply placed bed bugs into his own mattress and used a heating method to showcase that it works in killing them.
I can accept that heat can get them if they have just arrived and haven't spread far. But if you got them once, there is a good chance that you'll revisit the place where you picked them up and get them again; I've heard that, I think, 40% of NYC subway cars are infested. You need to make your house and furniture so hostile that even if they get back in, they won't live. I used mostly bleaching-cleanser (Comet, Ajax, etc.), water, DE and WD-40 to get rid of them, and they won't come back if they know what's best for them.
Actually, it's kind of hard to take them home or bring them places with you, they don't cling very well, the only way you could take them home with you is if they're in your pocket
@@bappoisfruito5045hats good to know, because I got a free couch and sprayed it with flea and tick killer to make sure I wasn't bringing fleas in, so I didn't notice the first bed bug until a couple weeks after getting the sectional, it's like the flea and tick killer made them hide and not come out of the couch for a little bit, and I had been to my buddies house a couple times after that, so I was worried I might have took them over there, this is the first time I'd ever even seen a bed bug in real life, I immediately vacuumed every nook and cranny in my house and sprayed the couch with white vinegar before going to work, a home remedy said to help kill/ get rid of them, after work I got a matress cover for my mattress and bedspring, I also got ortho home defense max bed bug spray and sprayed the entire sectional, along with all the baseboards and every electrical outlet in my house, even the hardwood floors got sprayed down, after that dried I put down DE all over on baseboards, dusted inside electrical outlets, around all the legs of sectional and ottoman, also around the legs of my bed, I havent seen any more since I started cleaning and treating a few days ago, not saying they are gone that quick, tho one can hope, I'm just hoping I caught it early enough to where I can get rid of them on my own, I just bought the house a couple months ago, so I really dont have money to be hiring an exterminator to come in right now
Wow. Your dog has x ray vision. With great power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely Curly.
lol
tashatorrid lmfaoooooooooo 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO.....the dog is able to smell the scent left by the bugs
Would have liked to see more information about the heating unit used.
Does one have to contact an exterminator to use this or can these be purchased?
google
Lol when I heard you say you were gonna put them into your bed, my first thought was "Jeez! This guy is freaking MAD!"
Then I realised that this was a really good way to advertise the effectiveness of his treatments... Wow.
You have lost your mind..
He forgot taking his pills🤣
OMFG!!! Cant believe anybody would put them in their bed...
It may works in early infestation. In heavy infestation, bed bug are hiding into crack.
What also works is turn your central ac on to max heat and let it sit for good 6-8 hrs
I live in a home with bed bugs and I just got rid of em so I am praying that his method works
how did you get rid of em?
I bought a 140,000 BTU kerosene heater and treated 2 large rooms ( the infestation hadn’t had time to spread) in my house, I got 170-200 degrees surface temperatures, maintained it for 9 hours… worked great… melted the vinyl window blinds.. but It turned my Bed Bugs into Dead Bugs .. ☠️☠️☠️
If I was going to do this demonstration I would have never done it in my own home
its for sure a motel room
I wouldn’t purposely put even a single bedbug in my bed for a million bucks! Horrifying.
My last house had those same older side-sliding windows. They don't seal the greatest but we really liked them so we opted to keep them instead of replacing. Heat treating is so expensive, I wish it weren't.
I have never tried this method before. Where would you suggest buying this heating equipment? Also, what should I do with explosive items in the apartment like aerosol cans of WD 40 and other stuff when heating?
Obviously, this video is a sales pitch, so he's showing only what his product/service can offer. He has a link in the description for a rental service he offers for the heaters, but they're $350 per day. Pretty pricey if you ask me...
@@UndertakerU2ber seriously. , and that does not include the huge increase to your electric bill . I was wondering if my small room heater plus the hvac heater in fl would work
What did you use to heat the room and where do you get it?
Heat treating was not effective in my house. I heated my single story house up to 164 degrees for 8 hours. 2 days later, they were back
Bed bugs were an old wives tale when I was growing up, born in 1974 , never saw a damn bed bug until I was in my 20s.. we eradicated them in the USA, but the rest of the world just rolled back over and went to sleep. .
Same I always thought dont let the bedbugs bite was just a funny saying I never new they were real until I got them!!!
There real alright . Demon bugs. The only bugs that compare are fleas and ticks, nasty
I tried the heat treatment! I figured i would fix these little pricks and really really turn up the heat!! So i did and left for a while and when i got back i was greeted by the Fire Department and they informed me their are no more bed bugs the heat treatment really worked!
heating is effective, however, bedbugs may flee the heat and thus enter other rooms or neighbours. They' re not that dumb as to stay put if they have a means of escape. This is one of few problems with heat treatment, especially if you are living in an appartment.
Wouldn't the dog still alert on a dead bedbug body? Also, what kept them from creeping out of the heated area?
the trick with these internet videos is to make the dog video before you plant your own bed with stupid
AT 3.46 that dog was sitting lol
BEN Shapiro hey ben shapiro didn't know u had bed bugs
I'm dying when you dumped them on the bed... oh heavens.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I understand it worked, and I appreciate it. However, I got clickbaited by this vid, thinking it was a method I dould do at home.
Diet-o-matious (spelling) earth in a puff bottle after cleaning EVERYTHING inside and out. Dismantling every part of your dresser and bed night stand etc with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Squirt alcohol directly on the bed bugs to kill them. After everything is clean including clothing and drapes and sheets.... Puff that earth powder i mentioned under baseboards inside outlets and light switches and on frame of bed etc. Very light amount. It dries out the bed bugs to aid in killing any missed. Good luck.
Heat treating a room at those temperatures can do serious damage to wooden floors and furniture causing it to expand and contract once cooled down and this will cause separation of floors boards and wooden joints in furniture. Not to mention any electronics you may have in there and wallpaper and paint and pictures and most things
"A small price to pay for salvation"
I suppose you won’t find the bed bugs spreading with Curley by your side! (They wouldn’t stand a chance around her)
More Curley please! 😊 She’s the reason I watched your video over others on the same topic.
Could you make some videos on her training uses in your field for example.
Thanks for the video!
To state that a 147 F degree heat treatment will kill bed bugs completely is a bit suspecious at best. Bed bugs are persistent, evasive and good survivors. They can survive without food (blood in this case ) for nearly 530 days. That is some endurance that ensures their survival. Best way to kill bed bugs is do a combination of heat, followed by chemical, followed by heat. In between you have to persistently locate their eggs and get rid of them using boric acid, bleach and scratch the surface of their egg nest with heavy brush. Be patient. It will take a month because their eggs take 2 weeks to hatch. The first heat treatment will kill their hatched young ones and adults. Then follow that by an immediate application of chemicals to kill the eggs. Apply hard nosed search and destroy inspection, especially around beds and couches. Dont be lazy. Work on detailed inspection. One more thing, dry all your clothing and any fabric in the dryer during each treatment. End by applying another round of heat. Also, it is important to know the source of the bed bugs. Are they living and breeding in your box spring and mattress, or are they coming from your neighbors through shared conduits? If the latter, then you have a bigger problem.
😭😭
Director: CUT CUT CUT! okay let's roll out the spare look alike room... Ready action! 😂😂😂😂
wen u get bugs rollout ur spare room director
What equipment was the heat treat machine called? I’m guessing it’s expensive but not nearly as expensive as buying a new home.
What brand heating fan is that ? I want to do this to my room
"Curly"...love the name! Never heard of a dog trained to detect bed bugs. Although, I suppose you can train them to detect most things
Where do I purchase that heater??
when he was dropping the bedbugs on the bed...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING! KILL IT WITH FIRE!! DONT DO IT!
I haven't tried heating the whole room, but I know that temps of 122 degrees and above will kill them. I wash clothes in the kitchen sink with the hottest wateer that comes out of the faucet, and pour in a large pan of hard boiling water. That kills them in the clothes. They're not as active during the day, but some still bite. I have to get all bugs off of me before I lay down or sit on the bed, or else I just reintroduce bed bugs myself by carrying them onto the bed.
What's the update, did the eggs the female laid overnight hatch and make more?
