😂😂😂😂 funny BUT not funny 😩

I haven’t slept in 2 d😢ys

Ill never say that again

🤓☝️ That’s exactly where that saying comes from 🛌

Fun fact: a colloquial term for going to bed is “hitting the hay”, when bedding was mostly hay and infested with insects, people literally beat their beds to shake out anything living in it!

Hope the video was helpful

Same idk what the hell it is I randomly got it at work too im so confused

are they in a zigzag or line pattern? Buy some DE bro. currently going thru an infest myself. scum landlord never told me the old tenant had bedbugs... been dealing with them ever since I moved in past 2 months.. the DE is helping slowly

The nymphs cannot be seen by the naked eye!

I’m in the exact same boat. Tearing apart my room because my wife and I are being bitten. Cannot find a damn thing

@@user-sr8sm1st6yyou can see the nymphs so that’s not true I had bed bugs before and you can definitely see them in all stages the nymphs are a little harder to see because they are transparent but you can definitely see them

@@jonald3 Same here. Has anything changed?

I have the thory that if you spot one at least there is a colony of more than 30 adult bugs + nymphs and tons of eggs, the thing is that thety don't bite you every day, the do every 7 days and hide, for each bite the females lay 50 or more eggs, if every day one different bug bite you that colony is keep getting bigger. My recommendations as I am dealing with this bastards too. 1)Cut their meal. Doing this you stop their life cycle. Check yourself evey morning. If they bite you in your new matress they are already there.. So don't use it, Currently I am sleeping on an air matress in another room (If you do this you need to verify that they are not already there and seal the bottom of the door whean you close it, they can smell you..), Every night I need to set the air matress, and every mornig I put the sheets, pillows and pijama, in a plastic bag and seal it, also wash it every 3 days with hot water, and dryer at max. 2)For first time wash, the clothes that had been in contact with the bugs add boling water in a bucket with your sheets. Wash, wash, wash.. 3)Empty your room clean everything, check behind the electrical contacs, seal cracks on the wall on the floor on the furniture. 4)Say goodbye to carpets 5)After this, apply insecticides best are pyrethrins and pyrethroids. 6)You can wrap your new matress in plastic, doing this if there are bug inside they will die by starving (remember it can last until 100 days or more without eating blood). 7)This is a long trail but we are smarter I also reccomend to read about their biological beheaviour know your enemy!

Just get the exterminator. It is extremely difficult to get rid of them without professional help. You will forever be in this cycle where you spray down, THINK you got em all and then you see that's not the case, then repeat. And that eco-friendly thing is not anywhere near as effective in keeping them away as you would hope. My uncle has been stuck in this same cycle for AT LEAST 15 YEARS NOW. It is no longer his house. It is their house and he just coexists with them.

Use diatmuscus Earth it's abbreviation is d.e just look up killing bed bugs with de .....it works !!!!!!!!!

@@serendipity8428 Is there a good explanation of how to use it online that you know of. I’ve read some, but not sure about all the steps. Thanks.

Damn bro, they spread so fast! Terrible.

Thanks! And sorry to hear of your experience!! Sounds pretty awful.

I did a bit a searching and found out some house hold oders like lavender, peppermint, citrus, cinnamon etc. that bed bugs hate the smell of, you can buy candles and an air wick its not a permanent solution but see how that goes.

@@AlexAnder-bp2hx hey thanks for the advice! Unfortunately this happened in a fancy hotel, and at that point I didn’t know about this bugs… There’s always someone trying to help. Many thanks for that Alex !

Best to ask pest control / landlord / local council to try eradicate if this is an issue

It depends on the building and situation... I'd it just a house you have a better chance but it will take time and be VERY VERY EXPENSIVE!! But a place like can apartment building with multiple units it going to be NICH MUCH MUCH HARDER AND WAY WAY MORE EXPENSIVE!!!

It's out of control at my mom's place and she trying to do it by herself. It's in the whole apartment building walls and shit

@@monstar.x9315 where u able to eradicate them ?

@@wedjongkwowe4679 the building manager having the whole building clean by professionals.

Edit: accidentally crossed out paragraphs. Practically same story for me and my bf. But my bf, while doing probation, came home with a bunch of cluster dots. At first it was one or two, maybe three. I told him he should check himself for ticks or any small bugs in his clothing. I found, in my anxiety filled research, that bed bugs can practically hitch a ride on almost anything and everything. My bf was in the back of a long police van with many other people who were doing community service. And ever since that first day of his probation, we began to get bit. We first thought it was just us being but by mosquitoes. But it's now been 6 months which is long enough for the bugs to build a large colony and it will only get worse! We live in TX currently and want to move, but now we definitely want to move because of the type of bugs that live around here. In my past, I've had bugs crawl all over me for 3 months- anything ranging from fire/carpenter hybrid ants, centipedes/earwigs, and many other bugs. This was because I lived in a very high elevation area in an attic with unfinished ceiling and these bugs would drop on top of me. The ceiling didn't even look unfinished to begin with too. So, this experience of being a very deep sleeper and never understanding why I suddenly behaved as if I had Tourette's and wiggling around a lot throughout the day pretty much secured a huge phobia of bugs on my end. Back to the bed bugs- basically my bf sat in a bed bug infested van (one bed bug is hardly enough to start an entire colony, although can be possible) and brought them over into our home. What I've learned from my research is: - Get home barrier pesticides, pull everything from the wall and out of drawers including food in pantry and fridge and oven. Spray along every baseboard and edges on shelves, in drawers and behind the drawers underneath. Spray in every crack of the wall that you see, if any, and be as detailed as possible. Especially spraying in dark corners or edges, so if you have a dark dresser. And also the windowsill. The home barrier type chemicals kills on contact and prevents bugs from building a home for 8-12 months. After you've sprayed the inside and left the house for 2 hours, air out the house and then go around the outside of your property and do the same thing. Some pesticides kills bugs from just the aroma, but some don't. This will help you control if other bugs besides bed bugs go in your home so you can be able to focus on only one type of bug: bed bug. - clean up your cluttered area. But be super careful of moving things from one room to another, even if you suspect that the bed bugs traveled from one room to other rooms now. (They move pretty fast for small bugs and are attracted to warm bodies that emit carbon dioxide, which is human breath, they can infest a blanket and if you moved said blanket from off your bed and onto your couch to watch a show- it's best to assume they are now infesting around and in your couch) - As you clean up, make sure to grab a mason jar (clean it out if it had food in it) and check everything with a white light flashlight. I used the back of my iPhone while my bf used his android. Check your bed sheets, pillow cases, bedding, then your mattress underneath all of those layers of sheets/bedding. Move really slow and make sure you inspect everything that is as small as the circumference of your pinky tip, down to a sliver. Look up online what their eggs look like (they're 1mm long) and what they look like at every stage of their life cycle, and use tweezers to pick up everything you suspect is a bed bug and put it into your jar. Have your husband hold the jar and keep the jar lid on the jar. But, bed bugs in general suck really bad at climbing so they won't be able to climb up the walls of the jar. Anyways- just put everything you think that could be a bed bug in the jar, including what you suspect are eggs, maybe molted shells from when they shed their exoskeletons to grow, and their poop. My hint is that their bodies tend to shine in light. They do not move whatsoever once bright light is shining on them, especially if you wait until 12 o'clock at night to inspect your bedding. You want to collect everything you suspect as a bed bug cause when you call exterminators, you can ask how extensive their search is and if you find out that they can take samples back to their lab, then you can hand over the jar and they'll be able to tell you what type of bug it is. You'll know it's a bug though cause the minute you pick it up, you'll see it's many little legs sticking out. If you're afraid of bugs like me then have your husband do the tweezing. Tip: I was able to find a cluster of them in a corner of the wall on the base boards and it was near the top of the bed. But they are surely around other places now.. but they would/could be in other places other than your bed. I think mine travel by baseboard. - Get ortho bed hug home harrier pesticides and respray your entire house all over again. - get a vacuum with a high quality filter to vacuum as you clean up your clutter and after you spray your house -sweep and mop. -invest in a silky polyester type clothing bag and stick all of your clothes in that instead of in a hamper that has multiple tiny holes. Have one for clean and dirty clothes. wash your bed sheets and all of your clothes separately. How you want to wash is: put clothing items in the dryer on the highest setting for temperature and for 1 hour. Then quickly transfer clothes into washing machine, and try to quickly put in detergent and any bleach if needed and put it on high heat for 30 minutes and up to 2 hours depending on how you feel. Then quickly transfer that back over to the dryer on high for 1 hour. - could invest in a heat treatment basket where you place items in the bag, zip it up, and heat treat it for 30-40 minutes which will kill bedbugs. (Heat 114-118F for 30-1hr kills them) - call the exterminators in your local area, see if they have K9 use or not, and if they accept samples from your home since you have the mason jar. Next steps will be instructed by your exterminators on what to do.

@smr_ƈཞıɱsơŋཞơsę thank you for the detailed response! Never had to deal with this, so it was good to get a step by step guide! I'm just so disgusted right now. I'm nearly positive they came from the old owners, as they left us with a lot of issues to deal with (multiple water leaks within the first week of moving in, literally filling out forms to sue them right now because we found a sandbag placed over a giant foundation crack. Didn't see it on inspection because we still had 3 inches of compacted ice on the ground. So they knew about the water/foundation issues and never disclosed). Old owners were nasty old people, and when we met them at closing they had spots and scabs all over their body like you would expect from a drug addict. House was filthy and they smoked indoors. I'm wondering how bad our infestation might be because we have original hardwood floors in our bedroom and there are so many cracks and crevices for them to hide. Also thinking they could be in our air vents and baseboards. We'll be completely stripping and searching our bedroom tonight and scheduling an exterminator. Just really hate we have to deal with this crap so soon after moving in. We've had two rooms flood in our basement and a pipe burst in our ceiling. Now bed bugs.

Thank you for this incredibly detailed response! I feel like I have a little bit of control now over the situation at least on how to get started. Thank you again for doing this. 🙏

91% rubbing alcohol will kill them

@@irisrowanmoon thank you so much for this detailed information. I just discovered I had bed bugs in my room as at 1:10am today

Same here on everything u said

@sohail well I cleaned everything from top to bottom the other day. I found about 6 more of the critters in the seams of my mattress but they all looked dead or asleep? Another one appeared that evening crawling on my pillow. I'm guessing it may be one I disturbed and didn't manage to get with the vacuum because since then I've not seen any more. I'm also not sure if they were bedbugs. On closer inspection of them, they looked more like carpet beetles with tiny yellow patches on the back. I'm just hoping that is the end of them.

​@@johnmelling9950 how's it going? I've just noticed some bumps on my hands which I thought was a reaction to detergent that I've experienced before, but now it's starting to look like something else. I did grab a little wooden frame of artwork from the sidewalk the other day, but didn't bring it inside so I'm not sure if I've transferred something, but I don't see any signs of bedbugs on the bed or couch

@@johnmelling9950 after investigation I've realised my ones are carpet bugs 🐛

🙏🏻

Hope the video was informative.

Have what it seems bedbug bites, though they are rare in Brazil. Can't see them but The blood spots are there.

Hope the video was informative

Dont throw.. burn it up so they get killed

does it have to be silica or do you think a clay-based desiccant would work as well? I have a bin full of clay desiccant packs at work

Yes - they are nasty critters

How did you get rid of them?

You're welcome!

I have NO BITES THOUGH

Bed has no evidence of the bugs I'm so confused 🤔

Hope this video was informative

@@DoctorODonovan it was !!!

Bed bug bombs are useless.

Bedbugs can be controlled but those ants move around a lot more and give a noticeable bite pain.

@@weldonyoung1013 With all due respect, we're talking about the Pharaoh ant here - it doesn't possess a stinger dangerous to humans; this species doesn't sting. The Pharaoh ant is not a fire ant.

How to get this species of ants. Will they end up in a colony at the bugs infested area?

Thanks for commenting

You’re welcome 😊

Pleasure

You dont see them they are smart enough to know when the person is waking up or moving

I really hope you're right. I moved to my new apartment about 3 weeks ago and have been getting bites ever since. The worst part is that I found out I'm extremely allergic to them as my bites get really big and very red and itchy. A week ago my left arm looked like the rocky mountains. And the swelling lasts at least 5 days. Talked to my landlord, but the process is so slow. Pest contol will only come next Friday. Meanwhile I live in constant fear and anxiety of sleeping, plus I've heard these bugs should stay more hidden now in the winter and really come out in the summer...

Use diatmascus earth look up killing bed bugs with de

@@wladimiralves9591 there is no other explanation. I was getting bitten for about a week or two, i sprayed a bit of pesticide around my bed and cleaned my room and they dissapeared again. They never return untill next year at the start of february. I too am really allergic to bites takes me a month to heal from the welts and still there are marks where i was bitten. Are you still noticing bites? EDIT: forgot to mention it could be swallow or bat bugs. They wake up this time of year but can’t reproduce on humans so they snack on us then go search for their host.

@@aneeskhokhar5049 that has nothing to do with my post. I’m in my house all year round and yet they only bite for a week or 2 during whole year. I could be dealing with bat or swallow bugs.

Thank you for watching

How do you even get them???

bed bugs will infest an item and come out at night to feed on blood. I got bit by bed bugs when I stayed at a dirty motel@@InvestAndGrow2020

Where did you go?

@@kevincosgrove948 Greece & Turkey

Likely will need pest control

shouldn't have thrown ur mattress. make a safe zone with DE around your bed with thick lines, they can't get in without dying

Sorry - sounds pretty terrible!

literally the same thing happened to me bro.. scummy ass roommate (sub landlord) didn't show me the room when I came to view it. showed me the room next to mine and said its exactly the same.. took me 2 weeks after moving in to figure out those were NOT little cockroaches crawling over my body, I almost didn't wanna believe it was bed bugs. 2 months in... I've curbed the problem significantly by DE, I pay the same rent too LOL around 900. I live in apartment so management did pest control that did nothing but make it worse. don't throw away any of your belongings I know how it feels in a state of panic, they're all salvageable. buy a mattress encasement about 20 bucks now the fucker (landlord) is leaving for couple months and renting his room to some couple and im sure he didn't tell them JACK about these critters (dw they move in on the first and imma tell them first chance I get. 3rd roommate doesn't seem to be so bothered about it, annoying as F. you not alone brother stay strong and DE those fuckers also buy some interceptors for tables or bed legs, 50-60$ for peace of mind. to make it worse im the only one experiencing this in the house because my room was ground 0 for an infestation that had happened a year prior, that they FORGOT to tell me about from Toronto. capital of bugland

In the United States you can sue the landlord for the state bug infestation apartment. I would document everything and try to get the landlord to come up and do his home treatment for bedbug. And as him how long has the bedbug been here and recorded him telling you he knew there was bed bug . Somehow trick him and recorded him and sue him. You would probably win but also call health department and they can condemned the house. And take photo of the bed bug and after you win the cases post on every local site where he listed his rental and tell people not to rent from him

Yes they’ll also bite in the day

You won't see the larvae or nymph life stages of these critters with the naked eye. They sense from your breathing that a blood meal is waiting and come out of hiding to eat you alive!

You can see bed bugs at all stages including the nymphs I KNOW FOR A FACT because I had them before it’s just a little harder to see because they are transparent using white sheets will help you to be able to see them and also it doesn’t matter if you are sleep or woke during the day or at night if they have an opportunity to feed they will

They can live in a piece of cardboard, each side of a light switch, behind wallpaper, the piping around a mattress etc. They are very good at hiding in the smalest places as their bodies are hard and flat.
