Hi Jason, how can I distinguish shell casings from dead bedbugs after spraying CF?
@GreenAkersPC2 күн бұрын
Casings are always casings. They are tan and crumble like dust. Dead bedbugs are dead bugs so they don’t crumble like dust and they are usually a brick red color

@GreenAkersPC , fair enough, let me present a imaginary business model. I have say a product that is sprayed on the surface, and produces some effect. Now if I sell the product I make $.50 per bottle, if I sell my services to apply the same product lets put the profit around $50.00. I believe it would be In my own best interest to dissuade people from applying said product. It is true that location is partially relevant in the comments section, I am curious not upset at the manipulation of the negative response.

I hold all comments before I read them and approve them to be posted so when people come on here and say "I used XYZ product (that's very dangerous and has killed people in the past) I don't allow those to post, if that's what you mean. Your comments were held before I allowed them to post. I have to hold a professional platform instead of just somewhere that people can lie to others like most of KZbin is. I have been in pest control since I was 6 years old. I have been licensed since I was 17 and I am now 43. The information I provide on my channel is what I do in real life when I go to a home and treat for bed bugs or roaches or other things. I know there are people here who disagree with my methods of elimination but it has worked well for my business so I teach others how to do what I do. I do have an amazon page with products listed but the only reason I made it is because for years I was bombarded by my KZbin audience to supply a place to find the products I use. I know that there are people out there that believe I'm out to monetize everything I do but I am not that way at all. I just want others to have access to the education and products I have access to.

bed bugs are definitely hard to get rid of I've had them twice for sure I possibly have them now but I'm not 100% sure after someone visited me that has an infestation at their home December 21st it's been over 2 weeks but sometimes they don't appear quickly anyway with all of that being said my first experience the landlord refused to do anything about them they were there when I arrived I had no idea what a bed but look like I thought it was simply something your guardian said before you went to bed found one in the pantry drawer but it was dead again didn't know what I did buy Hot Shot products from Walmart unfortunately it did not work I didn't have much so I decided to just move I begged everything put everything in one room clothing bed Landing refrigerator and stove I put over 200 bombs in that one room including inside the bags with all the clothes I realized many people wouldn't agree with this but I was so fed up I did see some success with this I can't say it eliminated them throughout the entire house I moved the next day didn't take one bed bug with me but to be fair I do believe this was affected because I simply didn't have much now my second experience obviously I found out I had to pack up my entire home for 2 weeks this landlord went out brought some store stuff didn't work so a licensed contractor was hired the gentleman came to my home twice and sprayed never saw another bedbug again the gentleman did spray every room my beds this was a duplex residence he didn't spray the basement nor did he spray the unit above me

Hi there. Thank you for the work that you do!! I have been using Crossfire for 5 months & made all the mistakes I could make. I moved. Over sprayed. Etc. I’m working on revamping my attack. My question today is related to my sofa where I sleep. I’m pretty sure it’s ground zero but I’ve only seen a few live nymphs & a lot of dead ones. No adults. I’ve sprayed each cushion with Crossfire & bagged them. How long should I leave them bagged. I’ve started vacuuming every day. Spraying the outside of the room instead of blanket spraying. I’m just trying extra hard because none of my effort has paid off yet. Kind of losing my mind. Please advise me. Thank you so much. Marietta

They do not live on body. They are just billions, more than enough to bite forever. The victim gets bitten so often so that the body can't heal. The immune system usually can control how intensively the body is being enjoyed by ectoparasites but immune system's capacity is limited. It can't combat that many mites. It is not just a bird mite either. Mite ridden skin is fantastic free real estate for many other parasites including classic nematodes. Even normally a harmless Demodex can cause problem if one is bitten by bird mite so often, as body is failing to keep thieves under control.

Many thanks from Russia (which is having problems watching KZbin)! I was also enchanted by Mark's video, it is so "ecological". In general I don't like his videos very much, he is "too nice" to my taste, but this time the topic was interesting. Bed bugs are very rare in Russia, I knew only one guy who had them. But I was unlucky myself to get an alcoholic lady next door in my apartment, soon we've got roaches then in a while bed bugs. Our building is wooden and very old so there are a lot of places bed bugs can hide and we can't reach. But at the same time the conditions are suboptimal for them in our flat so they do not reach high numbers (or the time has not come yet :) ). One way or another thank you for telling which ways of pest control are practical and which are not. I think the problem of bed bugs will increase here due to the income of labor migrants from the South-East and your advises may come in handy (unfortunately we can't buy American chemicals here). Well, we will use what we have (but not DE :) ). Best wishes and success in your business, so important for people!

I worked in pest control for six months. I was forced to lie to the customers and lock in contracts. The best way to do that is to scare them and tell them it’s going to get bad if you don’t solve the problem. In the state I live in you don’t have to get a pest control license for up to a year… I had one week of training and that was it for my pest control. I also watched a two-hour video. Then they give me my vehicle own. Customers asked me if the stuff I would be spraying around their houses was natural .. I was always supposed to say yes and reassure the customer we’re not using chemicals and when reality we are using chemicals because only chemicals kill bugs. If we did use all natural stuff we still put it in the same backpack we use everything so in the END you still get chemicals. I’ve done more than one pest control company and they’re all the same thing in state AM FROM. My recommendation is just to do it yourself and ask the people at Home Depot what should I use. Unless you have bedbugs or termites. In my opinion, this job is a used car salesman job. We promised you the world as long as you sign that line… Anything a pest control person can get their hands on you can buy off the Internet. To the chemicals, the rodent-baiting boxes you can buy off Amazon

I think I got bedbugs from my work because randomly one night I had 2-3 welts on my body but they went away after a few hours, this happened for 1 year and I was always thinking it was spider bites 😂 my wife never got bit once. I dealt with fleas before so it’s a similar process. I originally had a mattress encasement when we bought the bed years ago, i flipped everything over, sprayed all furniture with crossfire spray (I got the aerosol version), then used onslaught as a broadcast spray on our carpet, front and back yard. Vacuum every single day and wash sheets weekly, it’s been a few months and I have not gotten any bites. It’s funny because I never saw these bugs even once when I was examining the whole apartment lol it’s hard work but doable, fleas took me 4-6 months to get rid of and we didn’t have any pets, those suckers were deadlier than bedbugs

Dear Jason, I recently started watching your videos feel you are very knowledgable and just became a subscriber. I have an important question. I live in a studio apartment, which is semi furnished. My bed belongs to the apartment complex. There are cloth like mattress covers on the box spring and mattress that zip up. I can remove the top mattress cover that covers the mattress, but I cant remove the mattress cover that covers the box spring because the box spring is stuck in the metal frame.This happened because there were no long wooden or metal slats used to support the box spring from sliding through the frame. My question is, if I just turn the bed upside down and spray the mattress cover that covers the box spring really well, will that work too? I realize its ideal to directly spray under the box spring. I would just tear the mattress cover on the box spring but I want to keep what ever is in there, TRAPPED IN THERE. What do you think? By the way, there was a rip in the mattress cover that covered the box spring, so I taped it back up to keep any bugs from coming out. By the way, my infestation is relatively new. Your advice would greatly be appreciated. I believe you know what you are talking about.

IDK...always baking soda, vinegar, borax and or essential oils...im all for options...but I want/need a solution that friggin' works not a maybe possible, deterrent...I need some that 100% will kill on contact....and a 100% deterrent...I understand the whole bring back to the hive, thats fine too! But I need to know it works! This other stuff is like...sure if you constantly use it to clean with ya...but i just moved into a bunkhouse, where im currently the only one and stuffs dirty, there is probably a gap betwwen every header baseboard and drywall board...soo...dont need aunt sallies maybe it will maybe it wont lemon vinegar whatever...because she keeps a clean home and doesnt have them dont mean it qorks that way...

Anyways...im loosing myself here...thanks for continually trying to get your word out since you feel soo strongly...im a little over half with the video soo..i should sit down and shut up...😅🤗😋
