My dad drove for Greyhound for over 20 years. He retired from Greyhound, 7 or 8 years ago. Im not gonna say you can't get them that way. But I personally didnt know that bed bugs really existed until about 6 years ago when my parents were talking about that its illegal in Texas, to sell a bed 2nd hand that hasnt been treated. And I never saw one until someone brought them into our house a year and a half (ish) ago. This guys videos are a lifesaver. And he is super nice and answers questions if you have any on facebook/messenger. The Crossfire really works. It seems expensive. But you can get discounts and super fast shipping on Bed Bug Supply. And a 13oz bottle makes a gallon of spray.
Great video. I treated an apartment complex in Fort Lee VA, and I tried to explain to the customer that I can spray your home all that I want, but if you live next to neighbors who have bed bugs, this is a battle that I can't win. But this video is 100 percent truthful
@@kimberlyobley5168 you just put it in a spray bottle straight everclear you wanna put this around the corner edges of the carpet a around the seams around base boards this will leak down in the cracks and kill them it will dry them out you also wanna use chalking to seal up crevices if a credit card can fit in the spot they can slide in the crack. The DE powder you wanna wanna unscrew the plug covers light switches and lightly puff it inside and then put the covers back on they love to hide inside them
@Shawn..thanks so much l have been hearing others tell of their experiences with the bugs. I'm petrofied l don't have visitors to my home, l don't give random people rides in my car. You was the first l read about concerning Eveoclear drinking alcohol.

Thank you for this video . My boy friend has bed bugs and can't afford the price of an exterminator. So it is up to me to help him. I went out and bought dichotomous earth . So I am going to vacuum his recliner and us the earth on it . And I may end up having him get rid of the chair. Thank you again because I did not realize he goes to a food bank and that may be where he got them. You had a lot of great information that I can use.
dude i treat up to 240 bedbug jobs a month and iv lost count the amount of times iv had to explain to tenants about reinfesting homes and they need to have a think about their movements or the people that visit them.sometimes iv seen the same client 5 or 6 times over a period of 10 years and they have always been clear for a minimum period of 6 plus months then wham i get that call.all the best fella.
I work for an apartment complex and I took these fools home with me by mistake. Ended up turning into an infestation. STEAM WORKS!. I have ordered crossfire still waiting or the delivery but I bought a steam mop and a hand held steamer and it works. I have slept in peace for a week now and I steam mop everyday and steam my clothes before I put them on and I steam my bed. I’m getting my carpet replaced next week and I threw my bed out and bought a new one. STEAM CLEAN EVERYTHING DONT MISS A BEAT. Steam clean on the highest setting
I do live in single family home. I am a single parent of 2 kids 19 yr old son and 5 yr old girl. I have never had bed bugs in my entire life! 11/20 the neighbors moved out of the house next door. The house sat vacant for 3 months. New neighbors moved in 2/21 &4/21 I seen mattress and carpets, were placed on back porch. Not to mention they placed their dogs in a shed detached from home for sams week as well. These houses are not connected, however we share a driveway. Wind storm blew an empty bag of bedding to edge of my flower bed. When I looked down at it I seen multiple bugs within this zipper transparent bedding bag ,they appeared to be dead. It was then i went bought spray and treated my home . No bugs in 3 beds. Yet my daughter and I were getting bit. I realized that they were coming in my home through the wall facing this neighbor, through cracked caulking. Replaced all damaged caulking. You state if you live in single family home you are the one bringing them in? My kids and I have had no change in routine for last 2 yrs. (Since covid) So neighbors putting things covered with bugs outside , has nothing to do with my now problem? They were also in my car. Can I treat my yard/driveway with something that kills bed bugs? I treated house days ago/car with crossfire (thank you) and another bottle has been ordered. Is there anything I could do to prevent another occurance? .
I just got bed bugs for the second time in 3 years!!! The first time we lived in infested apartments... but then three years later we have them in our single family home! heLp
Thank you Jason. I've managed to irradicate the bed bugs from my apartment but before I realized I had them I transferred some to the work van and now my boss has them in his apartment. Now I keep bringing them back into my apartment. It's a vicious circle now and it won't stop until my boss either let's me spray the van and his place or calls an exterminator. He keeps blaming me for the problem, but I warned him as soon as I knew I had them to take preventative steps but he was in denial. It's a big mess for me.
Green Akers Pest Control LLC It's a big mess but the 91% isopropyl alcohol is quite effective as long as I spray where they are hiding that is seeing that it only kills on contact. I'm hesitant about using Crossfire or Temprid because of my cat. I don't want to make him sick, but the alcohol does the trick as long as I spray it a couple times a day. It's getting old.....lol
I work in a nursing home, I've gotten them from work before. Last summer actually, we used DE and found a couple stragglers here and there recently. But my work has broke out with them again and here's the kicker, they WONT TELL EMPLOYEES when they find them. How can I keep from bringing them home again? I spray myself and my shoes down with 99.9% alchohol when I get home, but i still feel like it might not be good enough. And the stragglers were from work, they had to be. We havent found any sign of them since we used the DE, we actually left DE around the bottom of the couch and the cracks in the bedroom baseboards and feet of the bed. Thoughts?
is it true only heat treatments eradicate bed bugs please help I'm so desperate what is the best pesticde can i use cross fire on bed carpets and my sofa as I'm limited financially thanks any help would be appreciated
Greetings from the Empire State. Can you make a video on how pest technicians can avoid bringing bed bugs, fleas, ticks or roaches home with them? Ive heard a few horror stories and want to avoid bringing bugs home. Thanks for the great videos.
Brother Akers, you are terrific. Listen, we saw one bed bug on a sheet on a sleeping bag. Put the bedding in a big bag to properly washed. How to use the Crossfire to safeguard our house. This is the first ever we've seen any. Please advise Abba and family
Thank You for explaining about bedbugs. I have them now. Because I let a friend spend the nite on my couch. Im having a time getting rid of these bedbugs. Can't sleep or eat. I hate them!!!!
Other than not bringing them in ourselves.. I thought you were going to share a treatment that could be used.. I do have kids.. they are in public schools, they stay at their moms part time.. so with that being said, I’m a single dad with a full time job , thus it is utterly impossible to keep track of my kiss & what they are doing/ going on the daily.. the crossfire you mentioned.. is it accessible to an individual & what are the terms of use.. is it kid safe/ pet safe? Ty for these videos.. they really are helpful for us NOT so wealthy folks!!
get yourself a steamer as it will kill live bugs and also eggs. its a green way that works and 60 degree washing of beddings and clothes, i know its an old post but if it helps one person then job a gooden,
Great information. We have a small bed bug issue that we want to prevent from turning into a disaster, but we live in Canada and don't have access to Crossfire. What would be another option for a residual spray that is safe for humans/pets in Canada
What you said about brand new furniture being brought into the home from a truck makes sense..although their is no way of knowing for sure how we got them. We first started getting bites a couple of months after having a brand new LaZ Boy sofa bed brought into the home. We do have children that go to public schools, but never had this problem until after that furniture was delivered.
Force Marker like I said, I have worked for a company once who had them in the truck because of the removal of bed bug infested furniture from a home. They don’t have a “bed bug” truck they remove furniture with. They typically use the same trucks they deliver on
U go to Drs appointments and get them then get denied services even though you had exterminator come in and spray 2 times and still have them very frustrating
Do you have a video that shows you applying Crossfire? Do you apply it to the ceiling and its corners? How do I prevent them from getting into my vents and ceiling fans?
@@GreenAkersPC what about the ceiling fan and air vents that are in the ceiling? Will crossfire help avoid that? I've only seen about 8 bugs on my box spring. I killed them and have encased my box springs. My mattress already had an encasement prior to me finding these bugs. I also have cimexa to dust my wall voids. Of the 8 bugs only 1 large one was alive and 3 small ones.
I am 83 and due to the virus, i do not go anywhere except to the doctor. I order my food and get it delivered. They drop the food off outside. The thing I thought of is I order lots of things and get many boxes. i through them in my attached garage. Could it be from that. I need to know what you think. I honestly do not go anywhere and have no company
Here in Europa we have Them al so i have read ,but not the infestation like in the usa . Most bedbugs ,we call Them bedwantsen ore wandluizen in the Netherlands are in hotels .
Years ago when I was growing up my family lived in a duplex that was infested with cockroaches. The family on the other half of the duplex was not friendly, so when my father used a cockroach "bomb" to kill the roaches (we sealed up the house and left for the day), we killed many roaches but the survivors moved through the walls to our neighbor's side. We would be cockroach free for a while, but once the neighbor decided to use a cockroach "bomb" to get rid of the roaches on their side, the roaches just came back to our side. I believe it is probably the same with bedbugs... they immigrate to wherever it is safer and there is a food supply. So if you live in a duplex or apartment building, the only way to get way of any bug infestation is for every family to simultaneously do a de-lousing procedure against the invading varmints. Otherwise it is an exercise in futility.
I wrote a comment with questions but I can't find it now. It was about moth cakes making smaller to fit in the vacuum cleaner bag. And using pet cleaning powder on the rug to smother the bed bugs and then vacuuming them up dead. Please help me. My forearms are pink from the bed bug bites. Thank you.
I just confirmed that I have bed bugs. My forearms are pink. I didn't know it was from bed bugs. I believe you said that I should use moth balls in my vacuum cleaner to kill the bed bugs in the vacuum. I can't find moth balls only moth cakes. I have an upright vacuum cleaner the hole that the bag has a moth cake won't fit in. How can I cut the moth cake in the plastic holder so it will fit in the paper vacuum cleaner bag? When the moth cake is in the vacuum cleaner bag can you keep it in the vacuum cleaner or do you have to throw it away? What about using pet powder on the wall to wall carpet leave it and then vacuum it up? Will that kill the bed bugs in the carpet? Thank you.
Actually, we had a bed bug exterminator come into our home and he determined the bedbugs were brought in on a NEW headboard we purchased from a large popular home furnishing website! We got the headboard out immediately and have some residual bugs in that room. We had it exterminated but it has been two weeks and we saw a one bug this morning! Ugh... the exterminator is returning Monday. Any suggetions???
Paige Greenwood white glove service is known to bring bedbugs in sometimes and they can come in on new furniture because they transfer from the trucks where they have had used mattresses in. What pesticides are the exterminators using
I was sitting in my chair and get two bites but after two days no more bites. I called a man who own a company who prepares dogs for the police 👮♀️ and they use heat. He explains me regarding some places but now I am calling left email but not avail. How I can know a when the dog is workings. My inspector is very good o recommended him to others people and they are very pleased 😀 the heat kill them at 140 degrees. What kind of vaccun is right for the bed bugs infested the vacuum. My English is not my first language. Thanks in advance 😱😖😭😩
So my work place a nursing home has bed bugs and either myself or my husband brought them home unfortunately I'm highly allergic so we caught them very early before any signs could be detected.if I hadn't found one on my bed after I sprayed with amonia/alcohol we wouldnt have ever known. When I called pest control he tried convincing me it was fleas even though I had one in a container mind u this is before he even came out for the initial walk through. So he sprayed first time came back for second time still couldn't see any signs told me it was fleas I even showed him a pic of bites and bug. He made me literally feel like I was crazy. These things have left welts on me and itch like crazy. I'm following up next weekend with the crossfire. Only good thing I cam say is my house has never been cleaner i threw away so much stuff and stored what i could live without for the next 2 years.
Do I have to empty all drawers and closet to wash everything? I have seen one so think I have a very mild infestation. I am so spraying crossfire tomorrow.
Also David, am I correct in reading the Crossfire label that basically after you mix it you can only store it in the sprayer for about 24 hours? It only says it can be stored overnight.
Hello. I am currently battling with infestation and its holiday season my landlord is saying its hard to schedule exterminator to come to my apartment. I ended up using my dyson v8 vaccum to suck up those bugs and now I dont know If I should throw it out... Its a expensive machinary and would like to keep one if I can.. Thank you.
Thanks for the informative videos. You said some ppl keep mothballs in vacuums to prevent bed bugs from infesting them. So do moth balls actually prevent or kill them then? Thank you.
Green Akers Pest Control LLC Sorry, I don’t know why I thought your first name was David, hey with Crossfire once it is mixed does it have to be used within about 24 hours? The label seems to allude to that, saying it can be stored overnight but nothing more than that.
My friend told me he had bed bugs one time and asked if I could help. I came over and burned his house down. Funny he hasn't asked me for help anymore after that. I don't know why I got rid of the bugs.
Jason! Colleen again. I STILL HAVE BUGS ! I sprayed but am still getting bites. What I don't understand....WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN 1 LIVE BED BUG? EVER! Used crossfire. Still bites but have NEVER SEEN 1 LIVE BUG...WHY?
@@GreenAkersPC Can I use the aerosol spray cross fire instead of the concentrated mix. Do they work the same? Because I sprayed my bedroom & bed about a week ago. Slept in there last night, and they got me again left arm only. I have 2 cans of the aerosol. Not sure what I did wrong. I sprayed the bed frame, cracks, holes, base board, window seals. Please advise. I only used one can so far. Thanks
thanks for video mate..i live in UK i wanna get this product i cant find it from here but i can purchase from Ebay and get posted from US.. but i want to know if i just want to use half of 13oz can..i want to now how much water to add in half can of crossfire ...because i just have to use for one double room ans that should b enough i thnnk..
Thanks to your videos, I think I'm starting to really understand the nature of bed bugs and how to be rid of them. you just can't treat anything one a time, you must cover ALL the bases or they just come back, I'm learning.
My neighbor has bed bugs and all of a sudden I keep seeing them in my apartment....but I cant just up and move. So are you saying my only option is to call a professional?
No Im not saying that. If you are living in a situation where the neighbors have bugs and wont do anything about it, the only option is to do prevention after the bedbug infestation is eliminated. Check this page for all the pesticides I offer as a DIY solution. www.amazon.com/shop/greenakerspestcontrolllc
Hello! Im from Brazil and we do not have crossfire and the substance in it is allowed only for agriculture. I have being suffering for ling time....We have temprid and encapsulated stuff.....I already had the pco here and it didnt work.....also we dont have heat treatments.....Can u give an advice?
Good day sir. I know this video and I am a subscriber. I don't know if you will see or respond to this. My question is: In a home that is infested with bed bugs, does the attic and crawl spaces under a house need to be treated? I don't recall you ever mentioning this in any of your videos. Great, informative videos by the way. Thank you for what you do!!!
you need a company that use something called a hot box and its a small tent that you plug in and it heats up killing any live activity and also the eggs among the contents of hot box.tent, i use them often whilst doing the treatment in property,
My son goes to his fathers every weekend. I think that’s where the bedbugs may have come from. How do I prevent them from coming home with him after clearing our home?
I think I just got bed bugs I live in an apartment I've lived here for 21 years and NEVER have had them we have these new neighbors and they are DIRTY and ever since they have moved in we've had so many roaches and ants and bugs and i believe I now have bed bugs ughhh I'm so annoyed I'm covered in rashes and blisters and I'm so itchy all over this is consuming my life.
My daughter is getting bit in class for months. She found one crawling up the back of her neck and killed it sitting at her desk. She wiped it in tissue and threw it away. I told her if she finds one again to call me and I will come into the school to get it. I've emailed fox 8 news about bed bugs and lice. Now I can't sleep because I got bit last night on my face. I don't know what to do about the school system. I can't home school them, or go to jail for not sending them!
Change her school if you can because if not more are gonna keep coming home from school in her book bag or somewhere and 2 of them is enough to make 1000 and we just moved to a new house and found out there’s bed bugs here id rather spent 2000 on getting them killed then 2000 on clothes or furniture lol sleeping at peace is best
@@GreenAkersPC so if you trying to eliminate them what are the measures you can take to remove them and eradicate them for good!! Im not seeing a whole lot just a couple at a time but those bastards have gotten on my freaking nerves!! I want them gone for good
The only way to get rid of bed bugs is to treat. I have a page with all the products I use here www.amazon.com/shop/greenakerspestcontrolllc Crossfire is what I use though. It is hands down the best pesticide on the market.
I live in an apartment and just found 3 or 4 on my brand new bed. Moved here 2 months ago. I am getting treatments for them, how do I keep them out because I'm not able to break my lease at the moment.
you can look at the bed bug trap videos...they seem to be the cheapest best way to get them eliminated....it is not immediate because of the eggs hatching later , but I think its the best way
Marty Mig. Get amvac prostrips and leave them in car over the weekend or a week preferably Just be sure to remove if you get in vehicle and roll windows down if you. Drive the vehicle
we should just exterminate bedbugs from the world 😂 jk jk. that would kill more than the bedbugs 😭 anyway. I live in an apartment complex and I keep fish. my fish are delicate to stuff in the air like spray or fabreeze and stuff like that. I'm super concerned about this.
lady lex 9999 one should always be careful when using airborne pesticides like bug bombs or foggers with fish but as long As you are careful and only treat cracks and crevices with pesticides you won’t hurt fish
I know the deet or whatever poison is band really bad but I think I like to just take the risk because they sound like taking over and just wont go away or stay away ahhhhhh😳, thank you for the truthful blunt vert informative video its appreciate 😊
Elesha Hilton sure on my website www.greenakerspc.com there is a “contact” link at the top. Fill out the form and leave your email and I will get to your email asap
I think they come in from bringing objects into your home. How about that cute chair you pick up by the side of the road? It may not be worth the trouble you'll have later!
I had an exterminator in on Friday, Saturday night I killed like 4-6 live bedbugs on the wall at the head of my bed, is that normal and ok? He said we could still see some for awhile, just thought I would get your opinion if that is correct.
Green Akers Pest Control LLC So it was only one room at this point but it was pretty bad, so you would say I might be ok and the exterminator could be doing a fine job even though I experienced those live ones?
My dad drove for Greyhound for over 20 years. He retired from Greyhound, 7 or 8 years ago. Im not gonna say you can't get them that way.

Right 😆

Wrong they can walk pass your house and drop a bed bug and it crawl in your house and make babies 😂💀
Low income housing apartments are often completely infested with bed bugs from what I've experienced.

The thing I thought of is I order lots of things and get many boxes. i through them in my attached garage. Could it be from that. I need to know what you think. I honestly do not go anywhere and have no company
Do you live in apartments or single family home
Have you heard of anyone getting bedbugs inside their body?
It doesn’t happen
Hospitals & stores have bedbugs you can get from there too😂😂🤦
Here in Europa we have Them al so i have read ,but not the infestation like in the usa .
Most bedbugs ,we call Them bedwantsen ore wandluizen in the Netherlands are in hotels .
Hi, do you have a video on how you would use the crossfire to treat an apartment? What areas would i spray?
ForeverGrateful Mattress, box spring, bed frame, and all cracks and crevices (baseboards)through entire house.
Dalton Wade thanks
Years ago when I was growing up my family lived in a duplex that was infested with cockroaches. The family on the other half of the duplex was not friendly, so when my father used a cockroach "bomb" to kill the roaches (we sealed up the house and left for the day), we killed many roaches but the survivors moved through the walls to our neighbor's side. We would be cockroach free for a while, but once the neighbor decided to use a cockroach "bomb" to get rid of the roaches on their side, the roaches just came back to our side. I believe it is probably the same with bedbugs... they immigrate to wherever it is safer and there is a food supply. So if you live in a duplex or apartment building, the only way to get way of any bug infestation is for every family to simultaneously do a de-lousing procedure against the invading varmints. Otherwise it is an exercise in futility.
I wrote a comment with questions but I can't find it now. It was about moth cakes making smaller to fit in the vacuum cleaner bag. And using pet cleaning powder on the rug to smother the bed bugs and then vacuuming them up dead. Please help me. My forearms are pink from the bed bug bites. Thank you.
I just confirmed that I have bed bugs. My forearms are pink. I didn't know it was from bed bugs. I believe you said that I should use moth balls in my vacuum cleaner to kill the bed bugs in the vacuum. I can't find moth balls only moth cakes. I have an upright vacuum cleaner the hole that the bag has a moth cake won't fit in. How can I cut the moth cake in the plastic holder so it will fit in the paper vacuum cleaner bag? When the moth cake is in the vacuum cleaner bag can you keep it in the vacuum cleaner or do you have to throw it away? What about using pet powder on the wall to wall carpet leave it and then vacuum it up? Will that kill the bed bugs in the carpet? Thank you.
Actually, we had a bed bug exterminator come into our home and he determined the bedbugs were brought in on a NEW headboard we purchased from a large popular home furnishing website! We got the headboard out immediately and have some residual bugs in that room. We had it exterminated but it has been two weeks and we saw a one bug this morning! Ugh... the exterminator is returning Monday. Any suggetions???
Paige Greenwood white glove service is known to bring bedbugs in sometimes and they can come in on new furniture because they transfer from the trucks where they have had used mattresses in. What pesticides are the exterminators using
Thanks for honest answers
I was sitting in my chair and get two bites but after two days no more bites. I called a man who own a company who prepares dogs for the police 👮♀️ and they use heat. He explains me regarding some places but now I am calling left email but not avail. How I can know a when the dog is workings. My inspector is very good o recommended him to others people and they are very pleased 😀 the heat kill them at 140 degrees. What kind of vaccun is right for the bed bugs infested the vacuum. My English is not my first language. Thanks in advance 😱😖😭😩
So my work place a nursing home has bed bugs and either myself or my husband brought them home unfortunately I'm highly allergic so we caught them very early before any signs could be detected.if I hadn't found one on my bed after I sprayed with amonia/alcohol we wouldnt have ever known. When I called pest control he tried convincing me it was fleas even though I had one in a container mind u this is before he even came out for the initial walk through. So he sprayed first time came back for second time still couldn't see any signs told me it was fleas I even showed him a pic of bites and bug. He made me literally feel like I was crazy. These things have left welts on me and itch like crazy. I'm following up next weekend with the crossfire. Only good thing I cam say is my house has never been cleaner i threw away so much stuff and stored what i could live without for the next 2 years.
I visited a friend and 3 days I get 2bites. My friend is very cluttered bedroom.😥
Thanks for this information. What is the shelf-life on the mixed CrossFire solution? Do I have to used up a gallon right away?
Label claims that you shouldn’t keep it mixed longer than 24 hours
@@GreenAkersPC Thank you sir. I just read that on their instructions. I'll just mixed 1/2 gallon at a time so I don't waste the unused solutions.
Do I have to empty all drawers and closet to wash everything? I have seen one so think I have a very mild infestation. I am so
spraying crossfire tomorrow.
Also David, am I correct in reading the Crossfire label that basically after you mix it you can only store it in the sprayer for about 24 hours? It only says it can be stored overnight.
That is what the label says yes
Hello. I am currently battling with infestation and its holiday season my landlord is saying its hard to schedule exterminator to come to my apartment. I ended up using my dyson v8 vaccum to suck up those bugs and now I dont know If I should throw it out... Its a expensive machinary and would like to keep one if I can.. Thank you.
subbed from the uk and hope to hear more from you sir.
Thanks for the informative videos. You said some ppl keep mothballs in vacuums to prevent bed bugs from infesting them. So do moth balls actually prevent or kill them then? Thank you.
Moth balls will kill bugs when they are confined with them but it’s not what I recommend, putting the moth balls in a vacuum
David, correct me if I’m wrong but say you buy used clothing online, couldn’t you be mailed a bedbug or bedbugs and get them that way as well?
Dalton Wade you can get bedbugs that way
Green Akers Pest Control LLC Sorry, I don’t know why I thought your first name was David, hey with Crossfire once it is mixed does it have to be used within about 24 hours? The label seems to allude to that, saying it can be stored overnight but nothing more than that.
Dalton Wade I always use everything I mix. I advise you to mix half the amount (6.5oz) per half gallon so you don’t have left overs
Okay I have a very strange question. Is it possible to get bit...but never ever see the bed bugs anywhere?
Could be a mosquito
@Dee Bradshaw yes I think I got them but ain't seen one yet..I've been getting bites in 3s
Thanks for the vid. It was very helpful. Love the Virginia accent, by the way.
My friend told me he had bed bugs one time and asked if I could help. I came over and burned his house down. Funny he hasn't asked me for help anymore after that. I don't know why I got rid of the bugs.
MonkeyMan I don’t understand why either....I mean if it works it works right?
My room has bedbugs. Tomorrow an exterminator is coming tomorrow. Is it ok if I just do my room and not the whole house?
Jason! Colleen again. I STILL HAVE BUGS ! I sprayed but am still getting bites. What I don't understand....WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN 1 LIVE BED BUG? EVER! Used crossfire. Still bites but have NEVER SEEN 1 LIVE BUG...WHY?
It May not be bed bugs biting you
I use a flashlight and magnifying glass.
It could be flies
Can the bedbugs hide inside of your comforters & decorative pillows for the bed as well?
Toni Miller yes they can. These things can be washed and dried to kill the bedbugs
@@GreenAkersPC Can I use the aerosol spray cross fire instead of the concentrated mix. Do they work the same? Because I sprayed my bedroom & bed about a week ago. Slept in there last night, and they got me again left arm only. I have 2 cans of the aerosol. Not sure what I did wrong. I sprayed the bed frame, cracks, holes, base board, window seals. Please advise. I only used one can so far. Thanks
Toni Miller I don’t believe the aerosol works as good and this has been confirmed by others who have bought it by mistake
thanks for video mate..i live in UK i wanna get this product i cant find it from here but i can purchase from Ebay and get posted from US.. but i want to know if i just want to use half of 13oz can..i want to now how much water to add in half can of crossfire ...because i just have to use for one double room ans that should b enough i thnnk..
looking forward to your bed bugs vs bat bugs video
Thanks to your videos, I think I'm starting to really understand the nature of bed bugs and how to be rid of them. you just can't treat anything one a time, you must cover ALL the bases or they just come back, I'm learning.
Thank you I just found my 2 comments that I wrote. I look forward to hearing from you.
My neighbor has bed bugs and all of a sudden I keep seeing them in my apartment....but I cant just up and move. So are you saying my only option is to call a professional?
No Im not saying that. If you are living in a situation where the neighbors have bugs and wont do anything about it, the only option is to do prevention after the bedbug infestation is eliminated. Check this page for all the pesticides I offer as a DIY solution. www.amazon.com/shop/greenakerspestcontrolllc
What is a safe treatment for kids and animals
I treat homes with crossfire all the time. It’s very effective and safe around children and pets as long as you follow the label
Hello! Im from Brazil and we do not have crossfire and the substance in it is allowed only for agriculture. I have being suffering for ling time....We have temprid and encapsulated stuff.....I already had the pco here and it didnt work.....also we dont have heat treatments.....Can u give an advice?
You can order crossfire from Amazon.
I see the links for the crossfire product here. But didn't you say you have links for a sprayer of some sort?

Thank you so much. From Singapore.
Good day sir. I know this video and I am a subscriber. I don't know if you will see or respond to this. My question is: In a home that is infested with bed bugs, does the attic and crawl spaces under a house need to be treated? I don't recall you ever mentioning this in any of your videos. Great, informative videos by the way. Thank you for what you do!!!
Crawlspace and attics don’t need to be treated
@@GreenAkersPC thank you sir. What about the mailbox? Just kidding. Blessings to you and your family.
Anytime ❤️
thank you.
I am having trouble locating a service that provides remediation of personal items such as furniture and purses and papers.
you need a company that use something called a hot box and its a small tent that you plug in and it heats up killing any live activity and also the eggs among the contents of hot box.tent, i use them often whilst doing the treatment in property,
My son goes to his fathers every weekend. I think that’s where the bedbugs may have come from. How do I prevent them from coming home with him after clearing our home?
I would do the same on how to prevent bed from hotel rooms. One way is to wash all clothes as soon as you return and they are sprays for the suitcase
What about using baking soda on bed bugs? U mentioned what doesn’t work.
Baking soda on bedbugs doesn’t work
I've been buying jugs and jugs claiming to kill the bugs and eggs. I will never let no one spend the night here. Sorry buts that's how I feel.
I ordered the spray what sprayer do you recommend?
I recommend a B&G sprayer but if you can’t afford one of those any plastic pesticide sprayer from Walmart should get you by fine.
I have a question. How to get the bed bugs strain off the wall if the wall bad with bed bug stain on the wall
The only thing I know people have used that has worked are magic erasers but be careful not to remove paint
Is CrossFire Bed Bug Concentrate safe to use with kids and cats in the apartment?
Amanda Missel typically I ask people be gone until it’s dry but as far as a residual it’s safe
Green Akers Pest Control LLC Does it get rd of them for good or would I be better off getting a hear treatment?
@@amandamissel2993 heat treatments have absolutely no residue to ensure bed bugs continue to die. I wouldn't waste my money on a heat treatment
Can u use cross fire on furniture?
Can you let me know how to get cross fire or where I can get it.
amzn.to/3lzT8sj
Great video! Thanks!
HI I Cannot order crossfire 2 my country but i can get temprid fx is it just as good or the same?
woods677 it doesn’t really compare. Crossfire is in a category all to its own in its ability to eradicate bed bugs.
I bought the 13 oz bottle of crossfire & a 2 gallon spray jug & I don’t know the measurements to mix it
Big Homie Twon gotta read your labels
Green Akers Pest Control LLC I did but it didn’t say anything about a 2 gallon sprayer but let me check again
I thought 13 ounces made 1 gallon...?
used cars can have them too
And rental cars
Hi. Does crossfire work on fleas too?
No
I think I just got bed bugs I live in an apartment I've lived here for 21 years and NEVER have had them we have these new neighbors and they are DIRTY and ever since they have moved in we've had so many roaches and ants and bugs and i believe I now have bed bugs ughhh I'm so annoyed I'm covered in rashes and blisters and I'm so itchy all over this is consuming my life.
Were you able to get rid of them?? And if so how did you do it? I'm going through the same thing now with dirty neighbors
My daughter is getting bit in class for months. She found one crawling up the back of her neck and killed it sitting at her desk. She wiped it in tissue and threw it away. I told her if she finds one again to call me and I will come into the school to get it. I've emailed fox 8 news about bed bugs and lice. Now I can't sleep because I got bit last night on my face. I don't know what to do about the school system. I can't home school them, or go to jail for not sending them!
Child of God I know others going through the same thing. I don’t know what to say. :(
Change her school if you can because if not more are gonna keep coming home from school in her book bag or somewhere and 2 of them is enough to make 1000 and we just moved to a new house and found out there’s bed bugs here id rather spent 2000 on getting them killed then 2000 on clothes or furniture lol sleeping at peace is best
Crazy lady
I would never ever buy a bed second hand yuck you don't know who or what has been sleeping on it or where it has been either no thanks !!!!!!
I bought a new bed frame for my daughter from overstock and she has them now
Why not? I found a free bed it is great had some brown stains on it I figured the original owner just really liked chocolate.
Or chipotle...as long as it’s only stains no one knows what it was
So if yu threw away your beds and yu still seeing them what are the ways to get rid of them! Like where can they lay the eggs and how can yu find them
Bedbugs live all over. They can live behind baseboards, inside wall voids, inside curtain rods, and inside wall outlets just to name a few places.
@@GreenAkersPC so if you trying to eliminate them what are the measures you can take to remove them and eradicate them for good!! Im not seeing a whole lot just a couple at a time but those bastards have gotten on my freaking nerves!! I want them gone for good
Necole Crisphjjihlp treat cracks and crevices all around the home. Sodas, easy chairs, crown moldings etc.
@@GreenAkersPC ok will do thanks will let know results!!
Necole Crisphjjihlp I advise crossfire. It’s the best thing for bedbugs www.amazon.com/shop/greenakerspestcontrolllc
Can you buy crossfire off the shelf in Walmart? Or is it an online item only?
Shawn Mcmanaway online only
Is it true that baking soda can help kill bed bug??🤷🏾
No this is not true.
Hey my whole house has bed bugs do you know a way to remove them
The only way to get rid of bed bugs is to treat. I have a page with all the products I use here www.amazon.com/shop/greenakerspestcontrolllc Crossfire is what I use though. It is hands down the best pesticide on the market.
I live in an apartment and just found 3 or 4 on my brand new bed. Moved here 2 months ago. I am getting treatments for them, how do I keep them out because I'm not able to break my lease at the moment.
you can look at the bed bug trap videos...they seem to be the cheapest best way to get them eliminated....it is not immediate because of the eggs hatching later , but I think its the best way
Jack Look up “bed bug barriers” on TH-cam, also cO2 traps
Or you get ops (other peoples stuff) from garage sales.
grandkids brought them over.
That rough
they are in my van
I am using cross fire
I spray floor seats
anywhere still fighting
Automobiles get them all the time
best ways to get them out of a car? video please?
615jondoe I can do that
Yes please, I transferred them to my companies work van !
Marty Mig. Get amvac prostrips and leave them in car over the weekend or a week preferably
Just be sure to remove if you get in vehicle and roll windows down if you. Drive the vehicle
How come he never tells you that once you mix crossfire with water, it is the exact same thing as raid bedbug foaming spray.
Joe surfer bedbug foam spray just came out and also doesn’t work as well as crossfire. No aerosol works as good as self mixed pesticides, never has.
we should just exterminate bedbugs from the world 😂 jk jk. that would kill more than the bedbugs 😭 anyway. I live in an apartment complex and I keep fish. my fish are delicate to stuff in the air like spray or fabreeze and stuff like that. I'm super concerned about this.
lady lex 9999 one should always be careful when using airborne pesticides like bug bombs or foggers with fish but as long As you are careful and only treat cracks and crevices with pesticides you won’t hurt fish
thank you! I live in an apt complex so I have alot of work to do
Hey wat about the name and where to get it at .....store etc...thank u.
U can look it up on google it’ll show a few store that have them if not ebay
What about fleas?!
alpine WSG is great on fleas
i got some in my carpet. help
Alesha Yeager bed bugs typically hide around the edges of the carpet and can be treated around the baseboards to be eliminated
I know the deet or whatever poison is band really bad but I think I like to just take the risk because they sound like taking over and just wont go away or stay away ahhhhhh😳, thank you for the truthful blunt vert informative video its appreciate 😊
What chemical to use that what I came here to see
b lindsey crossfire
@@GreenAkersPC Thanks if that don't work then what
b lindsey it will work if you follow the label
Can they be in comic books
Dwayne Williams yes
Any suggestions on how to get rid of them with out ruining my comics
PLEASE THANK YOUR WIFE FOR US! And thank you!!!! 😅😅
Help! Please! Can I email you?
Elesha Hilton sure on my website www.greenakerspc.com there is a “contact” link at the top. Fill out the form and leave your email and I will get to your email asap
I think they come in from bringing objects into your home. How about that cute chair you pick up by the side of the road? It may not be worth the trouble you'll have later!
I had an exterminator in on Friday, Saturday night I killed like 4-6 live bedbugs on the wall at the head of my bed, is that normal and ok? He said we could still see some for awhile, just thought I would get your opinion if that is correct.
That can happen yes. It all depends on how badly you are infested
Green Akers Pest Control LLC So it was only one room at this point but it was pretty bad, so you would say I might be ok and the exterminator could be doing a fine job even though I experienced those live ones?
It all depends on the product he used honestly. I can’t critique someone’s work unless I’ve seen them perform
Green Akers Pest Control LLC Fair enough, it sounds like you agree that it COULD be fine.
Dalton Wade I agree it could be fine lol
