people all you need is pinesol,spray the base board everyday aswell the perimeter of the mattress, it may stain your mattress, but it works, also spray your sofa everyday.

My update to an update, I went back with a heat gun and found where I think they were 80% hiding behind an old dresser where the back board is just enough room that you could slide a bank card 💳 down. I got a white sheet at the dollar store laid them down to see if I could see them. Had the light out and found some and when the heat gun they popped off like I was cooking 🍿 popcorn. There was about 2 dozen and I will be checking this area daily and other places. Thanks again!

More HELPFUL ADVICE: ✤ Encapsule the box spring to remove hiding places. ✤ Grout crevices, also to remove hiding place. And reduce likelihood of spread. ✤ Search for bedbugs with an LED flashlight that has a flood beam (broad beam). They usually don't like to travel far. ✤ When you drive bedbugs from their hiding place use a liquid spray cleaner in your free hand to hit the moving bedbugs, once they stop, collect in a tissue and dispose in the toilet. ✤ If not using the spray bottle, rest the powerful LED flashlight directly over a bedbug - blinding it. This allows for time to get the spray cleaner or pesticide. ✤ ⛔matress covers/encapsulatement don't suffocate bedbugs in 3 days⛔ Encapsulation kills bedbugs by keeping them from a food source - you !!! Leave the case on for over a year. ✤ If you are using pesticide not directly on bugs, say as blind hunting - spray the perimeter first and work inward. This helps prevent spread, or chasing the bugs around.

I had no luck with interceptors but i had luck tearing the bed frame apart. Hand shark steamer works great. Alcohol and tea tree oil sprayed every other night. Orkin sprayed my house for spiders and the bedbugs came out and died. I have to spray my hair with hair spray every night. Throw the pillow away, its a favorite spot for nymphs.

Very practical tips given, thank u.

I didn’t know about the hair dryer trick. I will be trying that right now along with my spray bottle of 91% rubbing alcohol. I haven’t seen an infestation but I get one or two solo bugs a month and it’s driving me crazy. My mattress and pillows are protected. I’m thinking they’re just passing through from a neighbor’s unit as I live in an apartment building.

Good information! Helpfu!. Might have to try more of these options

Fill freezer bags (for food storage), sandwich or 1 pint US size,with very hot water.Leave them in the area where you have already received bites.Make sure to darken the room , to simulate the nocturnal environment , during which they would emerge from hiding to feed.

There are a lot of ways to get rid of bed bugs. One fellow said he was smarter than the bed bugs. He knew they came out to bite him after midnight, so he set his alarm clock to wake up at half hour intervals, when he would grab his flashlight and go hunting every night, smashing all the ones he could find with his bare hands. He said in four months there were no more bed bugs! So funny! I would say his "hands on" approach is the cheapest way to kill bed bugs. I think he did this for the fun of it. He wanted to see if he could win the fight against the little blood sucking vampires without the aid of pesticides or tools, a contest between man and beast.

Very helpful thanks

Yes, very useful video.

Yes it did the first one the second one so keep up the good work

The video has proved very useful. I will try using adhesive tapes to catch them when I see them instead of using vinegar to kill them.

Yes this video helped. Thanks you, God bless you.

Really helpful ideas will try today

Very helpful 😊

Helps! Ty.

Helpful. Yes. Thank you.

Yeah it was very good showed you a lot of things

I knew about heat treatment, but never thought about my heat gun. I also discovered university studies showing microwaving items that are microwaveable kills them as well. Just remember to remove anything not microwaveable first. I now microwave my clothes for 30 seconds before putting them on.

This video is helpful.

Yes it did help me good video 😊

Thank you

Helpful, thanks One correction: Bed bugs can live for over a year without food 🙁, so sealing the mattress with a cover won’t work in only 3 days

One infestation will be replaced by another though or has no one thought of that?

I have never had them in my 49 years until last week. My row of townhouses have had them instead of spraying all of them they choose not too and didn't tell us tenants. I noticed at night my fingers or feet seemed to get itchy AF and I thought maybe my dog had fleas but we didn't see any and I bathed him, he has a flea collar and has had his shot. Once night I happened to go to bed late and had a white pillow case on and noticed a few moving well let's say I didn't sleep in my bed and the next day I cleaned my room, used spray and put traps out. But taking apart my bed is not easy and would be alot of work for me. But last night felt that itching again and found a few again was able to get them and did it all over, washed everything, spray and this time I used a steamer too I'm hoping this will help and if not then I'm going to call in pest control.

yes thanks

Yes

yes

I bought a Bissel Steam shot sprayer.140 degree heat

Yes.

For every Bed bug you kill there are 1000 more.

9:02 How does putting the sheets into a mattress cover for 3 days kill them, whereas OpenAI says that bedbugs can go 2-6 months without eating. I have a queen size bed, so I'll need a queen size cover to get all the sheets into a bag. I would think that there would be more than 3 days of air in a queen size bag for bedbugs to breathe .

😲 YES !!!

They are amune to most

Getting bed bugs really really screwed with my mental health! I had to get rid of everything I had. I was so bitten it put me in a position to feel violated depressed disgusted etc. I was so paranoid that they would get me in my new home. But they didnt I did everything correctly to make sure they didn't come with me but I was still super paranoid deservedly so after what I had just went through it is a really traumatic experience ! You cannot keep a single item only your clothes and if you don't follow my directions you'll be bringing your clothes to your new residence and starting another infestation. II went to the doctor when I saw welts. Laying on my couch one night I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye it was a bed bug attracted by are breath that is what attracts it to us! The Dr twice he gave me prednisone tablets he didn't know what they were! hey forgot to mention this they live in the pockets, folds & creases of your close in your bedroom. Take all of your clothes put them in a very large black construction type 30 40 50 gallon size garbage bags. Put them outside in the garage somewhere where there is heat. I let my clothes stay in that bag for 2 weeks OUTSIDE &I bought new clothes.. After 2 weeks I emptied the bags & you should have seen the huge DEAD bed bugs I went through each item of clothing before I put them in the bags myself and saw nothing but I thought just to be safe I'll do this. You can't be too careful when it comes to bed bugs! Well I'm glad I did! The huge dark strong garbage bags keeps the heat & the bed bugs will die make sure it's closed so they don't escape! So no doubt I live in the South so it was perfect! As far as the heat that I needed to kill them they may not have that in the north.. if that's the case and you're in cold weather and you have no way I would just throw all of my close out because then you'll have to get rid of everything you own again and it'll be a lot more costly than just your clothes My son brought bed bugs to my apartment years ago thank God it's not the home I live in now. I was able to throw every single thing I had out.

Yes it did

Step 5 make slumlords spray the hole building but this is harder then killing any bed and is almost impossible to do

I've been bitten enough I think I might have anemia😅

You are their food source and without you they die so here is a cheap solution.(This only works if you have a bed frame with legs on it. Wash your sheets and spray your mattress and bed with Raid really, really well. Go buy as many plastic food containers as the legs the bed has. Place a plastic container under each leg and fill it to maybe a quarter with white vinegar, make sure your bed isn’t against the wall or that your sheets don’t touch the floor, making the bed bugs have to access your bed only by climbing on the legs, they’ll drown in the vinegar you have placed. Done! Trust me, it works. 😊

Yes it did.

ayes

Can they live on an air mattress

Unlike lice, is it easy to crush bed bugs. They are very fragile.

yee

Ya

Has anyone tried bug bombs?

Absolutely not😮

Rubbing alcohol, and baking soda.
