Want more great pest control advice?

Temprid FX: Please note that at about 22:30 in the video I talk about treating picture frames with Temprid FX. I misspoke there. I meant to say mix Crossfire with Gentrol IGR and not Temprid FX. This is a very similar treatment for German roaches, and I guess I was thinking about the wrong pest there for a second.

I can't say what happened; I came across some bed bugs in my house last July, and immediately ordered a steamer to steam everything. Then I used a shop vac to suck every crevice I could, everywhere. Plus, I already had some tea tree oil, and so washed all my linens in hot water with tea tree oil in it, and then on into the hottest setting in my dryer. I also put some tea tree oil in my liquid soap, and washed myself in it, as well as my pajamas. What worked here, I don't know; the steamer never arrived. But for some reason the bedbugs abandoned my bed, my sofa, my loveseat, and me. They've been gone since last summer. The house is nice and warm, but no bed bugs. (I have hardwood floors, and had taken the rugs out and beat the hell out of them, and left them hanging out doors overnight, then replaced them in the house). I had only heard about the tea tree hatred that bedbugs have, so maybe that had something to do with it.

For someone who recently battled an infestation, it was small/mild, nothing crazy! But here are my tips and please use it to your full advantage no matter how big or small your infestation is. This is going to be a LONG READ!!! But it’s helpful!!!

1: Buy mattress, pillow, and box spring covers/ encasements. Specifically made for bed bugs because it has a material that bed bugs have a hard time crawling on. Also, once the covers/ encasements are on, Bed Bugs can’t come out and they can’t go in! Bed bugs are known for hiding inside of your mattress and mainly your box spring. If you’re an aggressive sleeper or sleep with someone, buy two! Just in case one of them rips or tears.

2: Buy bed bug interceptors, put them on the legs of your bed frame, so when they try to climb up to your bed to bite you, they’ll get trapped! You can also put this on the legs of your furniture or on other bed frames in your home for PROTECTION. The first step to stop the infestation from getting worst, is to not let them bite you! That’s how they turn into adults and lay eggs, with a lot of blood consumption.

3: Buy CimeXa powder with a powder duster tool from a company like Amazon. Put some of the powder inside of the bed bug interceptors (the inner part where the legs of your bed frame or any other furniture would go, not the outer part.) These powders will legitimately kill all stages of bed bugs within a 1-3 day period, including every other insect as well! You should use this powder in corners, holes, cracks, under your mattress & under your furniture. But use a face mask with gloves when you’re applying the powder and do not over use it. This powder should be applied like dust, if you throw chunks of powder all over the place then insects will just find a way around it. This powder also stays where it’s been applied for A LONG TIME! Unless you vacuum it up with a strong vacuum or you clean it up with a liquid substance. If you do then you’ll need to reapply it but this powder destroy insects!!! Once they walk directly onto/ over it. A lot of people would mention DE, but apparently it causes breathing problems and takes longer to kill bed bugs compared to CimeXa. So buy CimeXa with a powder duster tool.

4: Keep your bed away from the wall! Make sure your sheets aren’t hanging off of the bed, or you don’t have a charger or anything that the bed bugs can climb onto without them using the legs of your bed frame. If you wake up and find your pillow or blanket on the floor, leave it there! Dont pick it up and use it to go back to sleep.

5: Buy ortho bed bug spray or crossfire! It kills all stages of bed bugs on contact! And it kills bed bugs even after it dries, by leaving traces of poison that sticks to their body, they have no resistant to it either. So spray these in areas where there’s bed bug activity or places where they’d most likely hide. Cracks, corners, holes, etc… remember that they hide CLOSE TO YOU! Rubbing alcohol is great too! But once it dries then it’s pretty much useless. Alcohol only kills stages of bed bugs on contact! Ortho and crossfire leaves behind poison that sticks to all insects. These sprays aren’t flammable and they will not stain or damage your furniture. So you can completely spray down your walls, floors, carpet, furniture, etc… without any negative effects. They do have a scent, but it’s not a super strong or bad scent at all.

Being an Army veteran, my first inclination is to get an Army cot and store the bed in the garage. Now place each leg that touches the floor of the cot inside a box container filled with D-earth and then spray the cross metal legs to isolate you from them and neutralize the critters when they try to get to you.

I noticed a few of them on the wall and thought they were baby beetles, but eventually, I noticed these "beetles" crawling toward me when I was in my favorite recliner. I put diatomaceous earth in most of the outlet and switch boxes, and in some furniture pieces. But in the places were the powder would be too messy, or would get swept away too fast, I just used WD-40. If you make a closed circle of WD-40 on a surface or carpet, they won't cross it, and it seemed to last months. I did sleep with a flashlight and a can of WD-40 for a few weeks and eventually, they were mostly gone. If one turned up here or there, I'd make a mess with WD-40 around where it was spotted; I haven't seen one for about 5 years now.
PS: Needless to say, I don't smoke. Anyone who does should probably stick to water-based pesticides like the ones mentioned in this video.

Another very in-depth & informative video. I know how very time consuming it was for you, to make this comprehensive video! 👍

[greatcondor]

Thanks for replying to comments. A rare thing these days.

[andyschulgasser]

I live in my van, and typically, I keep it very clean, regularly, vacuuming, and spraying with Dr. Bronner silken water, and I do not have carpet, I had that removed when I bought the van.

I do housesit, but my clients keep their places very clean.

Watching all the procedures and everything involved in this video, would make me want to throw away everything I own, which I already have thrown away about 1/4 of my things in my van, taking apart my van, and I had a van built done about six months ago with all wood, and some particleboard, and I will have to try to figure out how to get behind The areas that are built right up against the walls of my van

Honestly, with everything you recommended, it would make me want to just blow up the whole home and move elsewhere and throw everything out that I owned

I have an infestation I've been dealing with for several months. I've tried all kinds of things of other things to avoid using insect bombs and pesticides.

I've tried UV lights, both to create ozone which kinda helped keep the population down, (didn't see them for a few days), and to try an burn them. But in hindsight if you're going to go that route, an ozone generator or 2 or 3, and week long vacation somewhere else while leaving those on, might do the trick. Fill the whole house with ozone, based off of what I read, a 100% saturation of it kills them and the eggs. If you're like me, who can't really take time off. Than this method might not be for you. The ozone does kill them, and they don't like the uv light. I confirmed it. It's just it requires you to be away for a while, so that it can work. You could use the light everywhere else to try and keep them in one room, if you're sure they haven't spread to anywhere else.

I'm not too sure about steam cleaning, maybe on surfaces and anything not too thick, I think the steam would work. On mattresses might help keep the population down, now if you have a vert well ventilated room, you could saturate the mattress in steaming water, and use a steam vacuum or wet vacuum to suck up and dry the mattress, I was too afraid of mold growing to do that. Overall, just steaming the mattress, I didn't see much of a change, other than a few days where I didn't see them.

After those didn't work, my brother told me his dad used diatomaceous earth after his fiasco of bombing the house, and the furniture individually, and that did the trick. Took me some trial and error with it, the package isn't very detailed in how to use it. Basically you're supposed to use a brush of some kind, like a paint brush, and get in into every nook and cranny. Pull the bed away from the wall, and put it down around the whole bed, around the foot of the walls, so if they try to leave or go anywhere, they have to walk through it.

I didn't do that. I covered the whole floor and top of mattress. Once my mother and sister confirmed that they didn’t find anything on their mattresses, they put down fly traps taped to cardboard on top of the diatomaceous earth, at the threshold of their doors. I covered the baseboard so if they wanted to use the walls to travel, they had to walk through the stuff. And so far that has worked in keeping them out of other's rooms. I put the stuff down under every piece of furniture so they had to walk through the stuff to get to anywhere else. Since diatomaceous earth is so messy, I've been slacking on cleaning, doing the minimum, I haven't vacuumed.

Well that worked kinda for a time, but then I started finding them on me in the recliner. I stopped sleeping on my bed, which I found out later was a big no-no. Then I did some searching around on the internet, and found out and confirmed that bed bugs are indeed attracted to CO². Like they really love it, like cult level love. So then I started looking up CO² traps. Which are super cheap to make, but take you a few trial and errors to figure out a good ratio of sugar to yeast. I put it near the sofa where my sister said she found one crawling on her.

I'm thinking that these traps might work better in the fall or spring time frame's. They release CO² so slowly that the A/C and fans can mess up where you want a concentration of it. So the cooler times of the year where you aren't real uncomfortable with no fans and no A/C or furnace going, might be better.

Now if you just want to confirm where they are and aren't in the house, and don't want to mess with sugar and yeast, dry ice is the thing to use. Do a little searching for buying dry ice, and there's a few places that sell it. You could use those welding tanks and get one of those filled, but those are pricey, and dry Ice is pretty cheap.

The first time I used dry ice, I got it in my head that I would buy enough that when it melted it would suffocate the bastards. Well I bought 60lbs of it, put a block of it in every room, with the fans going so that it would get everywhere, and after 8hrs, I still had 30lbs of it, the water in the air froze to it, (snow Basically), and acted as a cooler, I was so pissed, I threw the leftovers outside, and I shit you not, there was still a quarter sized spot of dry ice in my yard 24+ hours after I had first bought it.

I got to thinking and figured it would've taken more to actually suffocate them. But I found out exactly where they were. So once I chilled out and thought about it, and I was about to give up, and call an exterminator. But then I thought I could use the dry ice to lure them onto a killing field. And so I did, and it freaking worked! I got a mat from my truck, a rubber one, a big dinner plate, and a cereal bowl. Turned the plate and the bowl upside down on the rubber car mat, and placed smaller pieces of dry ice on top of the upside down bowl.

I read that rubbing alcohol kills the little bastards on contact, and dries quick, so I don't have such a worry about pesticides. But it is flammable so keep that in mind when using it. I covered the whole mattress in the diatomaceous earth. And I killed hundreds. The little bastards would crawl over the lip of the mattress, and walk through the diatomaceous earth. Those that crawled into the car mat died (suffocated), I squirted rubbing alcohol on them just to be sure, and the ones still moving stopped after the rubbing alcohol.

I dumped the mat in the tub with bleach to make sure I killed them. Found a bunch laying dead on the mattress in the diatomaceous earth. After 24 hours, the population is significantly reduced, I expect that the ones that got away are covered in the powder. I'll continue this method for the rest of the week or until I don't see any. Then do it again, but use the bulk of the ice in a different room. Or area where they were spotted.

I think I'll put a white towel or sheet down, so it's easier to see them, and determine if other areas need it. I'll keep the fans off so the CO² stays near the floor but the amount I'm using and how slowly it melts once it's covered in water ice, I don't expect much if any problem with a few smaller chunks of dry ice. Mom was pretty worried about it (CO²), but once she saw the result, she is fine with it. She's still treating it like a boogie man.

Whether you do what the video says or not, if you just want to verify where they are, CO² attracts them in droves. It would be a good way to determine how infested you home is, and in what areas. Personally if I were to use the video's method, I would start in the rooms that they haven't gotten to yet, and work my way towards the room they are in, so if any try to scatter, they run into what you've already setup to deal with them.

This was very helpful I know what I'm doing this weekend

[desisto]

Your video is excellent!! I am in Canada, we have the Onguard pro-perm insect killer, can this replace crossfire and be used in the mix? Some of these products are not available here 😢 Thanks

[sunchon]

i have a condo that is currently empty. The previous resident moved out 1 month ago. Bedbugs detected in March. Hired a local pest control. I don't think they did a good job.
My questions are:
What does the diatomaceous earth do? The crossfire will coat it but crossfire has residual of 30 days so it will no longer be effective?
I am using Ortho bedbug traps to see if I can bring them out and detect them. Is this product any good?
It was a "small" infestation, will they travel to other units because they can't feed right now, or will they hang here for a bit because they don't feed often?
I am worried about vacuum cleaning because I don't want to pick you these things and bring them back to my house. It is a bagless cleaner.
I plan on doing all baseboards and window areas. Not the floor in general.

Very good video. I have watched many of your videos before. Informative. Thank you

[StrGzr]

Very glad I watched this, Guy. Bottom line is that this is not a siege, but a war. Many thanks.

[sarahstarr]

So I've done this method and it worked yay!!! But I have a question?how often do we have to repeat this ?? I've been dealing with bed bugs for close to two years now and got completely fed up with it so thank you so much!!

[Radutm]

for the european people - there is a product Waco from Poland and Biototal from Romania. Kind of same composition the Romanian one is cheaper. Extremely efective against any pest. Be aware that they are toxic.

[lrwwolf]

That was such a great video. Thank you so much. I really hoped I wouldn't have to learn all about these bugs, but sadly, now I do. Again... Wonderful video! Thank you! 🙏

[Brian_L_]

Super helpful video just like your termite series 👍. At what point, fumigation is necessary for bed bugs? How do we determine if we have serious whole-house bed bug infestation vs 1-room? Thank you Sir !

[brendaeberwein]

Awesome information. I'm going to do this. Can't wait to do this.

[andreeaciobanuc]

Hello! I used Crossfire thoroughly, last night, before I went to bed. This morning there were like 15 very tiny nymphs in my bed. Is this normal? I must admit I have a large infestation of larvae and nymphs.

[pcno]

21:15 The builder really should have caulked the gaps around that outlet box, but they almost never do. Any time I open an outlet box for any reason, I try to seal those gaps. The best thing to use is intumescent caulk, fire resistant caulk, or just drywall joint filler, since these will block a fire for a while, but almost any caulk will block bugs, noise and air leaks which could allow moisture to condense in the wall. Unfortunately, there are often also leaks around the cables that run into the box, and caulking them is a little more awkward, but it can be done. They also sell little pads that resemble silly putty that are supposed to seal the cables from the outside of the box, but it you don't have access to the inside of the wall, they can't be used.
