Bed Bugs - When The Best Fails - What To Do When Crossfire Doesn’t Kill Bed Bugs

[@AFJAY0250]

A couple of years ago you walked me through treating my sons wood bunk beds, while my husband was deployed. I will never forget how much you helped us. I used a old baby bottle to measure out crossfire. It worked amazingly. I also used the same one for treating my moms home and again worked great. I followed the directions on the lable, read them over and over. Thank you again for helping me in one of the hardest times of my life. Still donate to your patron to this day.

I have a kid's wooden bunk bed I'm trying to treat right now and there always seems to be more of them even after I swear I got every nook and cranny. Is there a video on treating wooden frame bunk beds specifically like that? Do I need to disassemble the bed or something? I've sprayed it down 2 times now, been through 3 of the small Crossfire bottles in total, and I just don't understand how they're surviving. I'm about to do another spray of it with my 4th bottle, and I'm just at a loss here. And yes I watched the whole video, I am mixing the entire bottle into a 1 gallon pressure sprayer (the cheaper one on your Amazon affiliate link), so I know I'm mixing it right like you said to. Anyway, I've been awake all night, so sorry if this has been poorly written.

[@amyaimster7787]

@@Will_Forge I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with the bugs. I know 1st hand how frustrating it can be. I know this is a month old and hopefully you have finally rid yourself of those little demons, but I would highly recommend taking the bunk beds apart and spraying every inch with the crossfire. I was absolutely amazed at the tiniest cracks they can live/hide in. Take the furniture apart and spray. I found them in the screw holes on my daughters bed frame. I hope you got rid of them and you are finally sleeping.

[@callieglowup9436]

You gave me peace of mind. I didn't sleep the whole night after seeing one. You gave me independence, information and tools to handle the situation myself. I'm a bit confused because i haven't seen anything while treating my home. No skeletons, droppings, blood anything really to indicate they are there and didn't see any when i was treating my areas. I do hair in my home and now I'm considering i may have gotten it from a client

I am autistic and we have a group home next to ours. One day they moved out over night and it was extremely odd. I emptied their trash next to ours that was old and mowed their lawn. We started getting bit and saw some. We treated the other day. Hopefully we are successful, our case was very mild.

[@martinrogers7249]

Love the channel , keep it up . Pest controlling in UK. Bed bugs definitely on the increase . Had a difficult bed bug job at a commercial premises , bed bugs moving about after a treatment but not all killed. I used filter papers in a test tube , treated each filter paper with a different chemical we used , allowed to dry then placed each filter paper in a different test tube .. Placed some live bugs from site in the test tubes with the different treated filter papers , put tubes in warm environment and waited 48 hours. Some tubes with some chemicals didn't even slow them down there was a resistance issue. The tubes with dead bugs in after 48 hours where the the chemicals we then used ie no resistance . Resistance is a real issue now , not encountered before but certainly aware now . Worth trying if a treatment fails

[@DavidScottSmithMusic]

The Concentrate WORKS. The aerosol version- not so much. I found the cans to actually be a waste of money, personally. I only need a half gallon but mix the full gallon and split it with the adjoining apartment. Fortunately this helps us both not to waste the product. The first time I dumped half a gallon. Then we had a chat and he was doing the same thing. We worked it out for preemptive applications at every 6 weeks or so. Thanks for all the advice- extremely helpful.

I went to my Dad's house in December, and he had a bad bed bug infestation. He fumigated, and I walked into his house for 5 minutes, and low and behold, I dragged some of those little devils to my home. So I went to the Home Depot and bought some Ortho bed bug killer, and so far so good. I don't want to speak too soon, but I all of the reviews are good. GOD bless!!

I also used the Ortho Bed bug and flea killer, in the gallon jug, with the battery operated wand. Did first treatment 10 days ago, and have only seen 1 live one since, but a dozen dead ones. Second treatment in 4 days, per the instructions on the Ortho. I pulled the dust covers off the bottom of the 2 boxsprings in the affected bedrooms, and totally doused all over. Then once that dried, I encased in bedbug protector encasements.

This is one of the best instructions on Crossfire I've ever heard. What you said does make sense. I have a neighbor that refuses to use the right stuff. He tries Hot Shot, Harris, alcohol, witch hazel, borax, and other homemade concoctions. I snuck in and actually used some of my stuff in his house. Now Crossfire is out of stock alot. Can Tempo SC, Wisdom TC, or Bedlam work that's easier to find?

We have been dealing with these for months since my husband came home from a men's conference. A friend who has worked for pest control for 12 years told us to treat with tempo. We are no longer getting bit and do not see any signs of them anymore. We have been spraying weekly for 4 weeks, bought interceptors for our bed and sofa, and have taken all clothing and curtains out of the house. It gets washed and dried on high heat before coming back into the home each week when we spray. Buttttt I saw one today. What in the world are we doing wrong...?? We have decluttered, and do not even have our every day clothes in the house so they can't hide in them. We can't find where they're hiding.

I'm in a apartment and they coming tomorrow to use aprehend, not my choice I would opt for the crossfire after watching some of your videos. So I'm stuck with what they use, I did mention crossfire to them. On another note, in apartments I don't know what my neighbors are doing or bringing in. I take off my shoes at the door, keep slippers on hand for any guests. I don't flush toilet paper it goes in a bathroom trash can but most people I have noticed don't take those measures. Guess what I'm trying to say is being in a apartment, and I'm not dissin this apartment, it's one of the better ones I have been in much worse but any apartment puts one at a disadvantage of sorts.

Hi everyone. Did you know BB’s bite dogs and cats? I found the answer by accident. Many flea and tick medicines don’t work. Revolution does work.

Love your channel sooo much. I know your not a dermatologist or anything but i’m almost 80% sure all my bed bugs are gone since crossfire. However, i’m getting hives that come and go away within 15 minutes. Where as the bed bug bites i had stayed for weeks until they went away. Could the pesticide being doing this or it’s probably still bed bug bites? like i said i know your not a dermatologist but if you know or have any idea to why i get these short term hives i would like to know.

Ive never heard of anyone having a skin irritation from the pesticides I use....I guess there is always a chance. Kinda how some people are allergic to peanuts while others have no issue

[@slayerofsouls1182]

i have the same issue

[@2bornot2b11]

I had the same issue when I had bed bugs over a decade ago. I had been having the house sprayed by an exterminator every month for over a year because I still had whelps on me. I finally realized the rashes were no longer bed bug bites but hives. I began to suspect it was due to an allergy so I experimented with a long time medication I had been on. I would stop taking it and the hives would clear up. Then I would start taking them again and the hives would return. The doctor prescribed something else and the hives never returned. It is my theory that the bed bug bites set off my immune system until it began to recognize the medication I was taking as an enemy. Up until that time I taken that medication for years with no problem.

Great video and explanations! Unfortunately, there are some cases where it doesn't work, like mine. I have asked the supplier and they advised me to apply it every 2 weeks, if I still get bites. I have been doing this for the past 2 months and there is no improvement. I am not brining them from anywhere else and I have mixed it as per your instructions, applying it on furniture, bed and cravices. Not sure why it is not working :( I feel defeated at this point :(

[@GreenAkersPC]

How many bed bugs are you seeing a day

[@cristinaa1125]

Unfortunately, now - none :( . At the beginning, a few months ago, I was seeing 3-4 per night (on the bed, in the pillow case and going behind a painting). I brought an exterminator, who used a substance called Foval (based on Cipermetrin) 2 times and then I didn't see any of them, but the bites just continued. This is why I decided to use Crossfire on my own.

[@kandicornell3879]

I kept getting this rash during the night and 10 or 15 mins after I would be up it would go away, that night I'd go to bed and the same thing then it started to skip a night or 2 so I didn't think it was bed bugs but then that only happened about 3 or 4 times then I was getting bit just sitting on my bed so I ripped everything off my bed and checked my box springs and I'll be damned if I didn't have bed bugs so don't let anybody tell you that the bites don't come and then go and then come right back bc they do, I thought I was going crazy but no, it really does happen.

I have been watching your vids religiously. My first bottle of crossfire was delivered this week. Not cheap for UK customers. I had to convert US measurements to UK measurements but no biggie. I sprayed yesterday. You probably have answered this question before a mil times but could you just confirm when I should do the next treatment, is it 3 or 4 weeks? Did not get bitten last night. But the wife found one on her today. Another question, how long can I use crossfire for. I have no issues spending the money. My father lives with me as he very elderly and in his bedroom the signs of bedbugs are more obvious. But it is difficult to treat his room. As he is set in his ways and it does not effect him at all.

[@kitjasabsgabs1830]

I had a terrible, itching, burning, blisters after bites. And I'm a 4th generation logger and I get poison all every year. In places where you don't want and shouldn't have poison ivy, oak and sumac and I'd take that over all of my body over these fukkers bites any day of the week. They last for almost 2 weeks and only thing helped was Benadryl and Ice to numb it. I tried tech nu oak and ivy for forestry workers, ivy rest everything and nothing works at all but ice and Benadryl. It cause so much stress and no sleep for days at a time. I had to take way more of it than I should just to get a few hours sleep wrapping ice packs around my legs and arms with Ace bandages like a mummy. And others don't even know they got bit. Idk how but it happens. My immune system does not like it at all. I'll get ivy and be fine in a day or 2. Wash with bleach and alcohol and ok. And if I get on face, privates, butt I get a shot and that helps so much. I feel for anyone who has this issue. And we had to do all this work 2 weeks before Xmas with 2 lil ones. It was very hard. But Jason told me what yo do and I did it exactly, and another tip is to check the cracks and crevices in your place. I had quite a few and after sealing them up with foam or caulking it was alot better, then spray crossfire and it's gone. Hang in there and stop all from coming over and going over yourself until you know exactly where and who has them. It's not worth the BS over family or friends. Sorry but until it's gone I'm gone. If not it'll be a long lasting issue.

You would need to treat at least once a month on a preventative basis to keep the bedbugs out of your house

[@briand.8271]

Do you recommend mixing pesticides/ measures to get rid of em and keep them away?

[@djratino]

I was told that mixing pesticides can have a chemical reaction. You can have 2 products that'll kill bedbugs used by themselves, but hardly do anything if mixed. Permethrin 10 & Tempo SC is a good example of this. Also, if you spray a chemical on top of what a professional has put down, what they sprayed can be less effective.

But if it has a lasting affect wouldn’t it keep working to kill them when they bring them back in

[@GreenAkersPC]

Crossfire only lasts about a month or so

[@vanessa4513]

What do you do if your don't see the bed bugs? I liked everywhere for 2 weeks I cannot find the nest. I only seen a few bed bugs in the last 2 weeks doing crossfire this week, but I cannot find the nest to eliminate it

[@GreenAkersPC]

If you don’t see bed bugs don’t assume it’s bed bugs biting

[@tigersblood12212012]

How do I get crossfire in Ny state? I cannot order the concentrate from anyone anywhere!

[@0000clover]

hi! i was wondering if using hotshot foggers works or if it makes it worse? ive seen some people saying it makes it worse. i plan on using crossfire soon. another question i have is should i quit the diatomaceous earth treatment if i am using crossfire?

[@itm9562A]

It will only make it worse...

[@lld3007]

Will it work if you spray only the bed? Is it really necessary to spray the whole house?

[@MelissaJackson83]

Yes, they live EVERYWHERE

[@carlawalker8219]

Crossfire works but my grandkids have them but mom won't do anything about it

[@jamesthefink]

Can i use a spray bottle to spray crosefire or do i have use a pump spray? How long do i have to wait before it is safe to enter my home after using crossfire? Would one 13 oz bottle of crossfire work on my 2 story house? What is your live skype number so i can ask questions? Thank you

[@HollyHolmgren]

Hi. If i applied crossfire incorrectly, can i reapply correctly in the same places right away. It was mixed a little too diluted and wasn't shaken.

[@GreenAkersPC]

As long as it isn’t running into the floor or soaking anything yes

[@potato2461]

Can i used clover mite spray on bed bugs?

[@GreenAkersPC]

Most likely not

[@angelinedominguez3824]

Hi Do you use at all Gentrol Concentrate IGR Insect Growth Regulator ?

[@kristinhl364]

Not for bedbugs. Roaches yes.

[@SherrodLewis-q1y]

Can i use Crossfire again thats leftovers still im my sprayer?

[@GreenAkersPC]

I know a lot of people who do

[@RaulRodriguez-zp2oe]

I used it last year it work but i had 1/4left from it so can i still use it cuz i gt bit agaonn last week i no it bugs again but where they come from or did they not kill all ?

[@kristinhl364]

No cannot use it after a year as label indicates within 24 hrs. It's questionable if it would still be effective. As for them coming back after that long then it's a reinfestation and not the same initial ones.

[@williamworth2746]

Can you spray the bed directly to the mattress?

[@GreenAkersPC]

The label of Crossfire requires the treatment of the bare mattress

[@debbiestarkey9308]

I know you do pests, but would happen to know what a person might do for mold all in household.

[@patty_rish]

Not a professional. But if mold is all through the house then you need to find out where the moisture is and stop that. Then if it’s done structural damage that will have to be replaced. And if it’s just superficial then you can clean/kill it with bleach or white vinegar. Don’t mix them. Just pick one. And wear gloves and a mask. And throw everything that was used to clean up the mold away

[@jonathanbowling5080]

I have spy a whole gallon.i get those back in a month

[@pamelamiller9478]

I have a question Jason. I live in a double wide mobile home, ( I dont know the square footage), for sure, do you think I may need two 13 oz bottles instead of one, to completely treat my house? Just want to make sure I have enough for the job. Thank you so much for all of your great information.

[@GreenAkersPC]

I can treat a 7 bedroom house with one finished gallon of crossfire pesticide. You don’t treat the whole floor or walls or anything like that you just treat furniture and cracks

[@eastcoast9449]

Why would you want to kill ladybugs?

[@GreenAkersPC]

Because they swarm houses by the hundreds of thousands and they aren’t native species?

[@johnbirnmann3500]

Is crossfire safe for pets?

[@GreenAkersPC]

If you follow the label

[@IrisGallegos-i7i]

I think i got mine from the gym 😅😢

[@kimberlymerrill8017]

Have you ever heard of humans getting infested with bugs and or worms?

[@doubled7080]

Unlike most of you, i wish i had bed bugs. my friend think i have them too but there is no evidence of any. i have had bed bug covers on mattress, box spring and pillows for many years. i just purchased crossfire and willing to give that a try. i hope it works for something other than bed bugs. Come August, i will be one consecutive year of being bitten.

[@rachelgarcia7351]

You want bed bugs?

[@christinekoenig5669]

Jason says CF does not work on other bugs.

[@Sunsetyu437]

Have a initial bed bug issue ,my question is I call a big company they charge me 1555 aprox ,will you recommend cross fire before bring them?

[@michellesouthflorida9682]

I am trying crossfire today before calling anyone. We have them in one room and have cleaned top to bottom, thrown out mattress and have seen a few stragglers. But today we are going to spray with the crossfire exactly as Jason said. Fingers crossed.

[@craig3240]

No, say it ain't so!

[@GreenAkersPC]

What?

[@craig3240]

@@GreenAkersPC this scared me. This was my last resort and it was a God sent. I have a question. Are there scientists/people trying to find a way to eliminate them permanently? Do you think there will be a day that happens, since they're so adaptable? 🤔

[@GreenAkersPC]

Bed Bugs and Cockroaches adapt to pesticides so well...

[@michellesouthflorida9682]

@@Chichi-mo2pc I NEVER thought I would have an issue but omg we do now in one room. Cannot believe I have gone to so many places in my life and lived in different homes and at 51 years old they got me. ugggggggggggg

[@ronkieoreilly8490]

WHY WOULDNT YOU JUST ENCASE THAT MATTRESS AND TOSS IT. THAT BED IS COMPLETELY INFEESTED

[@loft1152]

Do you have a email?

[@TimothyPeterson-kz7xr]

If you live with a hoarder it's impossible!!!!!!

[@IrisGallegos-i7i]

😅😅😅😅😅 im scared😢

[@ticoyaleggett1808]

Can I use a garden or lawn sprayer to mix crossfire

[@your_name_here_1]

Public transportation Is just as bad
