    Because of you I am 99.9% B bug free , I treated about 2 weeks ago with crossfire ( I think I got bit recently but maybe those baby ones hatched and got hungry ) .
    I will treat again soon to make sure that I got them all...
    I found you channel when looking at heat treatments and how to do them or something I was fed up with those
    sneaky blood thieves , and found that heat treatments don't work as well as I was led to believe when I found your
    channel . That's when I found out about crossfire , wish I found your channel a couple years ago. Thank You again.

      I had to spray 3 times in total to get rid of them. Though the first time I applied I was less aggressive about it. By the end I was spraying everything down.
      The wierd thing about bed bugs is having to be bait for them to get them to walk across the crossfire.

    He says to use diatomaceous earth but in the testing and applying video clips he uses Cimexa which is an amorphous silica powder. I really do like Cimexa. After I spray crossfire I puff a little Cimexa around edges and into wall gaps. All the dead bugs I find have a little white coating on them, not just bedbugs.

    Hi, So I'm going to do a video extensively explaining the experiences I've had with these crawling labs. I ended up breaking out diatomaceous earth, and he is absolutely correct. We panic when nothing helps effectively enough to not be forced to throw away our belongings and seek fast results. I will say that even after using this product , the lab crawlers still found a way to escape. I have smaller children and that product, if used incorrectly, can harm you and your children. I have skin problems and more. My situation is unique! I pray everyone is able to find the cause behind their invasion of pestilence. I feel for you.

    I've been dealing with bedbugs for 15 years. Yes, 15 years. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to try. Thousands spent on heat treatments, pesticides, powders, disposing of furniture, switching from carpet to hardwood flooring in every room, steamers. You name it, I've tried it. And yes, I've kept up with cleaning and treating. After a while I just accepted my fate of never being able to get rid of them. I have to put anything I travel with, in the dryer before I leave, so I don't take any bugs with me to wherever I am going. I can't have company over. I've gotten some infections in my skin from bites. I'm seriously at my wits end with this. So, I'm going to try crossfire. I really don't want to use chemicals, but at this point, it's them or me. I definitely don't want to use Aprehend, but I will if crossfire, powder, and steaming don't work.

    Thanks for all your help and insight Jason. I had a seemingly small infestation last fall and followed your instructions. After 3 or so treatments I’m pretty sure they’re gone. Man I still have trauma from them. I saw that video when it came out and I’m guessing he didn’t really want to put the effort to test the pesticides. He mostly relied on the scientist’s expertise which makes sense. But I think results are different in a controlled lab setting vs the real world.

    Hey bro, this video is amazing. I had gotten mark's video as a random recommendation and like many other people, I took it as law (basically) and I have been using that diatomaceous earth (the one from hotshot) and I put it all over my apartment after I discovered I had a sudden infestation.
    It worked for a while, I didn't get bit or at least, I didn't get the itching bug bites for a while and I thought I had them.
    And I was starting to stress out about paying for heat treatment believing it was the ultimate bedbug killer. Now that I have seen your video, I feel so enlightened to the errors.
    I got curious to look up more information after recently seeing them crawling around covered in the powder, wondering if I had to reapply this powder. You are a godsend and I appreciate you sharing this information, as a professional, and spreading your knowledge. Hopefully, I can get them under control after finding a couple nest.

The only thing that worked was professional Temprid FX pesticide spraying. I wanted to use Crossfire, but they don't allow it in CA. And it took at least several treatments to fully eradicate them. Now we're free of those tiny little bastards, thank god... I still can't understand why Mark Rober didn't mention the use of Apprehend.

    Hello Jason . You and your videos on Crossfire for bedbugs came to our rescue when nothing else we tried was working . Diamateous earth ( spelling ) , various bug sprays and three full treatments of Temprid fx and Gentrol igr we mixed in the one gallon lawn sprayer we purchased on line from On my own along with the products . This over about 32 days . Nothing was working. I discovered you on TicTok . Went to TH-cam. Watched some of your videos on Crossfire . Got back to On my own and ordered the 13 ounce lil jug of Crossfire . Did yet another spray treatment with the crossfire and after three days we did not see or experience another bite or seen any sign of the lil demons. That was over four months ago . We are finally resting peacefully again thanks 🙏 to you and Crossfire pesticide for bedbugs. You are an amazing good guy Mr. Akers 8:02

      I'm also in Canada. I had 3 treatments of Aprehend about a year ago for a moderate bb infestation. It worked really well. Except I just saw one bb on my bed a few days ago, for the first time in about 10 months. Perhaps the pest control technician missed some eggs, or my neighbour has got them again. I did a lot of research when I first got the bbs, and Aprehend seemed like the best treatment (now that I've found this channel, confirmed by Jason - I don't think Crossfire is available in Canada). It can only be bought and applied by a licensed professional, and it takes skill to do it correctly.

People should know this stuff is absolutely not harmless. I was pretty naïve and put that stuff EVERYWHERE and its so hard to clean up.

    I live in an old apartment building with bed bugs. No matter what treatment I use in my studio apartment, they always come back because they are in the walls and in other apartments that go untreated for whatever reasons. I've had my unit sprayed by exterminators probably 7 times the last 5 years. It buys me maybe two months before they are back. I've asked to have the building fumigated, but the owner refuses. I've had some success with DE using a puffer and placing a dusting around my unit every 6 weeks or so. But that alone doesn't work. One will find it's way through since my next door neighbor has them bad. I'm moving out in 2 weeks and leaving most everything behind out of fear of taking them to my new place. Will remember your suggestion for Crossfire if I discover I've taken some with me to my new place.

    You know, it’s an honest action to not monitize your videos to prove that you’re doing this to help people and all, but I still think you should monitize them because you’re taking the time to make these videos and help people and that should be compensated.

    • @GreenAkersPC
      @GreenAkersPC  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Using a low application sprayer with Aprehend isn’t used because of toxicity it’s to keep the live mold alive. When used with high pressure it destroys the pesticide and it won’t work anymore.

    Ok here’s what I did because of marks video. We have one room in our home that had bed bugs. Seems like that’s the only room they are in. We had a family living with us that brought them in. Well we moved them back in their home and threw everything in the room away. Then I went into the bedroom and gave a good coating of DE. Then closed the door. My kids won’t be in that room and I am going to have a exterminator come in. I did it because it was something I could do immediately. The only thing looking back that I should have done is wear a dust mask. I’m sure if this was a daily occurrence I’d be looking at health issues but I did it and closed the door. I think I’ll be fine. I didn’t know this information until just now. I’m going to look into apprehend.

I don’t even need to get kick backs from companies but I have been approached by companies to “review” their products.
