- At night, these parasites crawl onto your bed, bite you and suck your blood. Then they find a nearby hideout where they leave disgusting telltale signs. But these pests have an Achilles’ heel that stops them cold.

Adult bed bugs are about the size and color of an apple seed. After biting, they hide in a nearby cranny, like the seam of the mattress.
At the University of California, Irvine, biologist and engineer Catherine Loudon is working to create synthetic surfaces that could trap bed bugs. She was inspired by the tiny hooked hairs that grow from the leaves of some varieties of beans, such as kidney and green beans. In nature, these hairs, called trichomes, pierce through the feet of the aphids and leafhoppers that like to feed on the plants.
Researchers have found that these pointy hairs are just as effective against bed bugs, even though the bloodsucking parasites don’t feed on leaves. Loudon’s goal is to mimic a bean leaf’s mechanism to create an inexpensive, portable bed bug trap.
“You could imagine a strip that would act as a barrier that could be placed virtually anywhere: across the portal to a room, behind the headboard, on subway seats, an airplane,” Loudon said. “They have six legs, so that’s six opportunities to get trapped.”
--- Where do bed bugs come from?
Bed bugs don’t fly or jump or come in from the garden. They crawl very quickly and hide in travelers’ luggage. They also move around on secondhand furniture, or from apartment to apartment.
--- How can I avoid bringing bed bugs home?
“It would probably be a prudent thing to do a quick bed check if you’re sleeping in a strange bed,” said Potter. His recommendation goes for hotel rooms, as well as dorms and summer camp bunk beds. He suggests pulling back the sheet at the head of the bed and checking the seams on the top and bottom of the mattress and the box spring.

Shout out to that selfless volunteer who provided their skin and blood for the filming of the bed bug feeding scene!

I'll be 70 soon. I grew up with these. She say's you won't even feel them. Once the infestation reaches a certain level there's just too many of them and it will wake you. Imagine being a kid and waking up to the bites and the itch. Imagine seeing them on you and the mattress. It really freaks you out and exhausts you trying not to sleep for fear of them. It effects your whole life. You're so tired you can't think straight, your school work suffers, you get depressed. It's like being in a horror movie.

That was literally my life when I first moved to the US with my family. We didn't have any furniture so parents thought bringing in a couch that was thrown out would be a good idea. Whole apartment was infested and I would wake up crying every night for 3 months until we threw everything out and renovated our apartment. I was 8 years old.
Awwww, I'm sorry you went through that awful experience. Hope you're alright today.❤

For those who don't know, it's not that DDT stopped working, it's that they stopped using it. DDT had bed bugs on the brink of extinction, then they stopped using it; so now they are back.
It's true, folks.
"They" stopped using it becuse"they" outlawed its manufacture due to its effects on killing eagles and other birds.
DDT effectively stopped working as the bed bugs became so resistant to its use that they essentially became immune to it. For those that don't know - do some research.
It also had most of our larger birds on the brink of extinction, many species of which are still recovering.
@@scarletletter4900 That's due to its absolute widespread use to eradicate everything, instead of being used judiciously only where it should be for serious issues.

I was in pest control for years, these little suckers gave me ptsd. I've some stuff, man!
My cleaning lady brought bedbugs into my house because she insisted on using her own vacuum when she cleaned. It was actually pretty easy to get rid of them but it takes time and diligence. You need to encapsulate your mattress and boxspring in sealed covers. At the same time spray down the entire bed frame with insecticide and coat the legs with petroleum jelly. Then wash and dry your bedding before putting it back on your bed. Make sure your bedding does not hang down and touch the floor. Also make sure you take off all your clothes and wipe off your feet anytime you get into bed. You need to cut off their food supply (you) and they will all die in about 6 months. It is extremely important that you do not reintroduce the bedbugs back into the bed so make certain they are not on you when you get into your bed. Their eggs can last up to two years so I would keep the covers on the mattress and box spring for two years. If you have no bites during that two year period you won the battle. Reward yourself with a new mattress and box spring.
1:00 Wait, they just "do it" under my covers? Not even I "do it" under my covers...

I remember having bed bugs. It was a real nightmare. Extremely hard to get rid of. I had a lot of sleepless nights. When im in bed and i feel something i quickly look to see. Thankfully just my hairs
I just went through that myself. What a nightmare! It wasn't so much that they developed an immunity to it it was when they hddt off the market that they came back. Ironically I went to a party a few years ago and by sheer coincidence the daughter of the man who invented DDT met the daughter of the man who made it illegal! It wasn't pretty.

They didn't become resistent to DTT. It was found out how bad DTT was for the environment and they stopped. It killed them very well. Since then there is nothing as strong as that now they have become a problem. There are still ways to get rid of them though but it takes longer.

I'm still living with bed bugs in my apartment! Severe bites and scars all over my body. Now two of my cat's have been bitten by bed bugs. Told landlord on September 28 2021 about it she said can't get anyone out to my apartment until October 11 Monday. Texas law 7 days to take care of problem...so many compliments and lawsuits about this complex!
How to solve bedbug problem:
*Step One* : “Accidental house fire.”
At this point I have seen so many bugs from you, I think my phobia is gone haha. Thank you Deep Look!
You are welcome!
Well it’s the opposite to me
HAIR DRYER and HEAT GUN, cheap and effective way to kill them all,
base on my experience.
Nothing like a little exposure therapy to cure what ails you;)
I never had a phobia for insects and arachnids.
I've had to deal with these abominations before, including a VERY severe infestation in a building where the landlord- I mean, slumlord- refused to do anything about it. Bedbugs have a very distinct stink to them, especially in large numbers. I couldn't watch the first half of the video. When people say you can get PTSD from dealing with them, they're not lying. I sure hope she perfects the material soon!
Had a PTSD, I've dealt with them as a kid. Its a real nightmare, yikes
Sprinkle lavender flowers all over the place. They make a concentrated distilled version of it you can spray on your sheets and blankets. Bed bugs DO NOT like the scent. It won’t get rid of them 100% but it will drastically reduce their numbers. About the only way to extinguish them 100% is by heat. Heat a room to 140° for 8 hours. It’ll kill all adults, pupae and larvae. Stick with the lavender to keep them from getting out of hand again though.
I can attest to this
Bug bomb the whole place!!

Had bed bugs once. It was a nightmare.
Same 🙁
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.
Does diatomaceous earth work too
I did something similar. I filled bowls up with DE and put them under the legs. I also took duct tape and taped the bed frame (wooden) where they could hide, and wrapped tape with the sticky side out all around. And I HOSED the room down with 90% alcohol, and got heaters and heated up the room to over 100 degrees. They can’t take heat.
Good to know
Alcohol is flammable, that’s my worry.
How did you heat the room after using it?
@@stephen6621 I read a comment that said YES IT WORKS. My sister left house for a couple of hours & shut all outside doors & windows. She turned her home heat as far up as she could. Clean & repeat for several days. She got rid of them . . No chemicals except to clean

Thanks for showing me one up close, I will now be sleeping mid air.
diatomaceous earth is how i rid my infestation

@@Aufbleiben yeah probably wouldn't have done that. The trick is to pour it around your bed and on your box frame no need to get it in your bed. The rest of it i just had all over the house pretty much turning the entire area into a hostile environment for them given enough time they all eventually just died off.
@@raizen21ss56 I'm glad it worked out for you, I was never going to be able to get rid of them in my living situation I just had to move and keep them from biting me in the meantime

HiIamFin hahaha
Bedbugs are so hard to get rid off, I hope that I never have to deal with them.
Wait until they evolve to be able to shed their feet and regrow them, then they will be unstoppable.
I remember when I thought that the saying “don’t let the bed bugs bite” was just a saying.
Now I know that they are real.
Lol, me too. Luckily, I don't think I've ever seen a bed bug and I pray that I never have to go through the pain. I would do anything to prevent an infestation!
i used to think that also! Eventually I learned they were real... and then a couple year ago I got INFESTED! now I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are real! Very unfortunately.
Still dealing with getting rid of a bed bug problem. It really is beyond traumatizing. Thankfully after full cleaning the house and wrapping every bed in saran wrap I haven't seen any.. except of course in the nightmares
Once you're sure your bedding and bed are clear of bugs try wrapping double-sided tape around the legs of the bed. It will prevent them from getting up to your level anymore and also act as trap and a visual way to judge if and when you got rid of all of them.
Use Boric acid-20 mule team borax, the laundry additive around base boards, around the bottom of the bed legs and even dust mattress crevices with it-don't forget to put it into your wash. It dries them out and they die. They can never develop an immunity to it, and it is safe.
Strangely Bedbugs can't stand garlic powder. I lived in a place with them at one time and caught a few to study different ways to repeal them. I can't recall how the powder made contact with one of my jars, it's been years since than. It drives them nuts and they scramble. If you have them I recommend catching a few and try it out before you go nuts and powder your bedding or anything.
so all i need to do is put some leaves in my bed?😂👌🏻
Im glad I've never had this or seen one, I did lived on a place with the occasional cockroach but since 4 years I haven't seen a cockroach and I feel lucky the scene at 3:50 will haunt me for a while

@@ali_lebzo9230 You may have to spring for specialized heat treatment, if you haven't already. I've had to deal with a severe infestation before in a place I didn't own so I totally understand what you're dealing with.
@@tartarlinks3162 We tied most of the content of the room in black plastic bags and left them on the balcony for a few months.
Inside the room, we called people to do the steam treatment, followed by application of a powder to the baseboard and between furniture pieces. The powder sticks to the bug and dehydrates them, as I understand.
We also got a smaller, cheaper steam-cleaner (it's like a small vacuum) to do our own periodical sweeps of the bed and its surroundings, and so far it's worked: the treatment was in September 2020, and I haven't seen a live bed bug since, only a few carcasses at most.
So practically, have velcro skin?
Bed bugs and mosquitoes are my worse enemies
Moral of the story:
*Cover yourself in leaves*
yes
The best thing you can do is never have carpets in your house and if you see a bedbug spray it with alcohol.
*alakabar*
Shwifty they are wood dwellers.
True
I use peroxide spray. You see what happens when you put peroxide on blood. Bye,bye you little blood suckers.

All my life I thought bed bugs were imaginary monsters, until this year. Now I personally know they exist. What REALLY pisses me off? I JUST bought a new bedding set when I discovered these little “suckers” and I don’t DARE tell the landlord because the last person who told her they got these monsters she evicted them. So now I am trying to treat these things by myself, unsuccessfully at that. Low income housing is always so much fun
Try taking a bowl and pouring in a large bottle of medicinal grade alcohol. Add about 3/4 cup of oregano and a handful of rosemary if you have it. Cover and let sit for 24 hours or more. Stir once in a while. Strain resulting tincture into a spray bottle and thoroughly spray your mattress, bedding, clothing. Do not spray finished wood. When you remake your bed, sprinkle oregano in it and in your pillow slips. Cover wooden furniture legs with double sided tape or cut in strips and use rodent glue traps glue side out and completely encircling legs from floor to frame. If furniture legs are not wood, you can fill large tin cans with with water and set your furniture legs in those. Apparently the little suckers cant swim. Be sure to leave the room after you spray and air it out before you go back in.
One time my aunt was staying over at my house and brought her boyfriend to us & he brought bed bugs over to our house. The feeling of knowing you’re going to wake up the next morning covered in red bumps will make you not want to sleep at all. It was so hard to get rid of them even when we fumigated it, what worked for me is I bought a cover over my mattress so nothing can stick onto it and they went away
Thanks a lot for the restless sleep tonight TH-cam!!!
I lived in a place that got bed bugs. I was the first to notice and told my house mates of them. They told me "No, those are just beetles" so I showed them pictures and videos of bedbugs along with a captured bug from off my pillow. They had to call in a second opinion because the only female in the house could not be right. By the time they admitted it was bed bugs, it was too late to stop the infestation. By the way, they also took credit for realizing it was bedbugs. Glad I left, the parasites were making me lose blood and brain cells there...
I just bought a cloud on amazon. Hope it comes in good condition.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t support Amazon. 🤦🏼♀️
Buy clouds locally.
I bought mine from walmart🙃
Watching this in bed made me uncomfortable
Same and it makes me feel weird
Try waking up with your head on the pillow looking across your pillow and seeing 5 of them crawling towards you. I tried to completely clean every item in my bedroom but the only thing that will kill them is having extreme heat applied to them for hours-you have to remove all glass, ammo, anything delicate in your room, take out the electrical outlet ports, remove everything 1-2 feet from the walls, and calling up a bug company and have them use a special chemical for several hs with heat 117-135 degrees that will kill them.
How much does that cost?
@@smoothoperator7023 Thats a good question. I was living in an apt complex at the time and they, thankfully, covered it.
i’m laying down on my bed watching this and now i feel crawlings things i didn’t feel before...
i guess i have to wear an Full Suit Armor when i go to sleep
1:00 When a bed bug sees more action in your own bed then you do.
Instructions unclear, I now sleep on my shelf.
They can get you there too
As a pest control technician, trust me be careful people. They are everywhere
I don’t think I will ever sleep on my bed again after watching this.. 😳
@boi mac 😏😂
Bruh I had two infestations with these and thankfully they r gone now for good, but they gave me allergic reactions cause they bit me so much cause my blood is so favored by them 😓
i thought something was crawling in my head 😭
Ok, while watching this video I got anxious so I looked at my arm and I have a bite… I’m kinda freaking out right now
WORST.
CREATURES.
EVER.
Right alongside Ticks and Kissing Bugs.
Ever heard of a chigger? THEY are the worst. You think it's a bite; but, really...they burrow into your skin and eat at you for days. So small you can barely see them. Cover bite area with nail polish and it kills/suffocates them.
@@johnroberson1157 Oh yeah! I forgot about those little parasites! Nasty things...😷
The voice of Lauren just makes this way more interesting to watch ❤️
When I’m in bed, I keep feeling something crawling on me, but when I look to see what it is, I see nothing.
Could be bed bugs or fleas 🤦🏽♀️
I can remember seeing a TV show about this when I was 5 or 6 , I went to bed fully clothed, and I mean full, socks , gloves, and light blue balaclava (have to ask my mum about why we had them ) and swimming Goggle's you get with a snorkel.
AND ITS NOT LIKE PESTICIDE EVER DOES THE TRICK BECAUSE THEYRE _EVERYFUCKINGWHERE_
THEYRE IN THE WALLS, THEYRE IN THE CARPET, THEY HIDE IN EVERY LITTLE CREVICE THEY CAN FIND
This is why biodiversity is so important. There are things that nature has done that we could never understands. So packing in as many different varieties of plants into an areas really does encourages vitality and protections of each other. This is called a Cover Crop usually needing 15 to 30 different species.
KQED Science: hey do you want to get bitten by bedbugs?
Me: What? No! Why?
KQED : Its for a Deep Look video
Me: Oh. sure. here, take my hand
