CO2 Bedbug Trap - Making Traps

[@mariamarfil1620]

The sense of humor in this video is priceless. Thank you from the bottom of the hearts of the bed bugs sufferers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@oriley9637]

God bless you Jules. I made one of the shields you show how to make and I have not had a bite in months now. So easy and 100% effective for the reasons you explained as to why the bugs can't get from under the plastic to over it due to their physical structure. A critically important fact. Keep up the great work my friend.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

Thank you O Riley, your feedback is so important, it motivates me. It helps to tell others that the traps and shield are exactly what I say they are, the most 100% efficient, natural and smart way to eliminate bedbugs right down to the last one. Period, it is the end of the undefeatable bedbugs! And they won’t come back, you did not leave a single one behind and you did not pass them on to your neighbors. Bravo! • Bedbugs exist only because they can feed. And they feed exclusively on our blood. • Bedbugs need blood to molt. Without our blood, bedbugs can’t molt and grow. • Bedbugs need blood to lay eggs. Without our blood, bedbugs can’t lay eggs and multiply. • Bedbugs need blood to survive. Without our blood, bedbugs starve and simply die. And that’s all there is to bedbugs, simply take our blood away from them and it eliminates all of them. That’s a truth that nobody can deny. Bedbugs are only insects and are very easy to get rid of, take their only source of food from them and they die. That’s what you did, thank you for trusting me. • A bedbug Shield to stop all bites at once, • A bedbug Trap to catch all other bedbugs, • Bedbug Barriers to keep bedbugs down where the traps are. The real bedbug trap does not only eliminate them but keep them from coming back. You will never be bothered by bedbugs again O Riley, the knowledge that you gained will last you forever and you will pass it on to others when the time is proper. That’s what I do because I know how it is to be stuck with bedbugs and get poisoned because of it. I’m JulesNoise and grateful for what has been given to me and that I can share with others.

[@jodylebouton9436]

Excellant demo of what you can use. This helps a lot. I ordered paint cloths and I moved the bed away from the wall. Taking down the curtains slept last night woke up to no bites.

[@1971mgb]

I think that those who have tried the traps and fail to see results did not follow your recipe for the CO2 mixture. Yeast multiplies best at 95-105F water temperature when making the mix. The failed traps most likely didn't use a thermometer and killed the yeast by using too hot water. Thank you for one of the most instructive videos ever !!!!!!

[@ro-landocalrissian4633]

So can you just open the faucet & use that hot water or should you heat it up a little? 🤔

[@dudleydelany8186]

Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to produce this video for the many people like myself who can't afford to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars hiring an exterminator. So far, I have used 91% rubbing alcohol to keep the bedbugs at bay, but the fumes are quite toxic and, unless you spray right at them, it doesn't work. From now on, I will use your method. Thanks again!

[@xsweetcountryx]

I wanted to let you know that this trap really worked and I've caught 10+ bugs including babies. I am able to sleep peacefully and not worry about if i am going to get bit at night. I want to say thank you for posting this video and all your other videos. I am happy again =)

[@elenimalandrinos5751]

I did this and it worked!!! This video helped me 2013. Now, my son brought a friend home, found out today, Aug. 2019, and he brought to my home, again, Bedbugs. I am going to try this again. Which by the way, i still have plastic sheeting over my bed, because, I am Terrified of these stupid bugs, back in my life again. OH My GOD!!!! Help me Lord, Here we go again!!!!

[@larz24amp]

Sir, i remember my grandpa speaking exactly like your accent, and voice. I have a bad level of bed bug infestation at home coming from my neighboor. I never thought I would find a simply amazing solution against bed bugs with the voice of my late grandpa. THANK YOU!

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

To make CO2, you need: 2 cups of sugar 1 envelope (7-8g) active dry yeast 2 quarts of lukewarm water (40C or 100F) The mixture should last 2-3 weeks. It will make CO2 as long as the liquid is cloudy with few slow rising tiny bubbles forming a thin ring on top of the brew. When the mixture turns clear (lemonade like) the fermentation is spent and you should empty it, rinse the bottle thoroughly with hot water from the faucet and make another mix.

[@ro-landocalrissian4633]

How long do you heat up the water for? You use a thermometer?

[@jennyyujiashi135]

Hi Jules, Thanks you for taking the time to respond to my questions. I really appreciate it! As I don't have baby powder/talc on hand tonight, I don't think I am able to make the traps now :( My management office had a sniffing dog came in to check for bedbugs for all units, and the dog detected bedbugs at my apartment, which shocked me so much since I had not noticed a single sign of bedbugs (but I do know some other units may have them since I live in a 18 storage apt building.)

[@davidnottam2767]

I havent slept in 4 days... these things are killing me.. there taking my income, time, just everything in general.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

David Nottam ___ You are going to sleep tonight if you place a bedbug shield on your bed today. A bedbug shield is a barrier that stops all bedbugs and keeps them from feeding. It is like putting the lid on bedbugs. We have bedbugs only because they can feed, they are totally dependent on blood and if you take away their only food, our warm blood. then bedbugs have nothing else to feed on and bedbugs die of starvation. Bedbugs are seen as dreadful when in reality it is a weak, stupid and defenseless insect that causes only psychological problems from our own reactions. You are the living proof that we become obsessed with bedbugs to the point of not being able to sleep even if we do not see or find any, chasing bedbugs at night. And we do not see them daytime because they shun light and always stay in the dark. It costs one dollar to stop bedbugs. Get a large 8x10 or 10x12 sheet of plastic and drape it directly over the bed. Bedbugs cannot walk through plastic and that's all it takes to stop bedbugs. It is the same thing as putting a screen in the window for mosquitoes. Bedbugs can try all they want but there is no way they can get around that sheet of plastic and bedbugs cannot reach you anymore to bite you. And that plastic stops all bedbug bites at once and will protect you day and night from now on. Isn't it amazing that something so simple as a plastic sheet is all it takes to stop and eliminate bedbugs? And why don't they tell the people about it? There is no money to be made by telling people how to get rid of bedbugs by themselves, waiting for people to get full grown infestation is much more lucrative and it is good for business. We do not care about their business and we are smart enough to figure it by ourselves. So here is a little experiment for today, get that sheet of plastic drape it over your bed and get a good night sleep without getting a single bite. If your experimeny works, and it will, do the same thing tomorrow and the days after until satisfied with your results, you decide to make a permanent shield that will protect you against bedbugs forever. Used against bedbugs, that simple plastic is amazing. Bedbugs leave their hiding places to go by themselves under the shield, like a magnet that attracts bedbugs and they get stuck underneath it without backing off and going away. I told you bedbugs are stupid, they will be blocked by this plactic that covers the whole bed and that they cannot get through. And they stay there unable to feed and they try to get through and never can, and they slowly die of starvation, without a single drop of blood to feed on. Bedbugs won't let you sleep? Retaliate and don't let them feed.We will see you will win this war, you will. Bedbugs are no match for those who know how to deal with them and starve them to death. Try the shield for a few days and when you will have seen with your own eyes how it works, then we will take measures to make your whole place permanently bedbug-proof. Looking forward to your results in a few days. JulesNoise

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

+Sandra Fernandez __ Bedbugs are insects that live and grow in the bed. They tend to stay in the bed as long as something does not disturb them and chase them out of the bed. Bedbugs chased away from the bed will stay close, hiding a few feet away from the bed and waiting to get back in the bed for their next blood meal. Bedbugs come out when you are sleeping. Bedbugs wait until you are not moving to dare climb up on you, the slightest movement easily squish bedbugs while they are trying to reach you. If the main sign of bedbug presence are the bites we find out in the morning, some red streaks or red spots in the bed sheets from squished bedbugs is also a sign of bedbugs. Bedbugs do not feed daytime, there is too much light and we are awake and moving around, too dangerous for a bedbug to even try. We must remain still for bedbugs to be able to climb on us, if we move that annoying insect is dead. The problem is that you might be able to see one while hundreds more are simply hiding away from the light and out of sight. Bedbugs cannot fly and cannot jump. All they can do is slowly crawl and climb from a nearby hiding place to the warm person sleeping in the bed at night and then as soon as they are fed, they go right back into their hiding place to digest the blood they took from you. That's all there is to bedbugs, they hide and feed (bite you), we hardly ever see them and we cannot find them when we turn the light on or chase them by the flashlight at night. Bedbugs always hide away from the light. Does that describe your situation? You get bites at night but cannot see any of these blood-sucking insects. You do not need to see bedbugs to know they can get to you at night, we know exactly where bedbugs are and if you want to find them, look where they can feed. Bedbugs are slow and do not move far away from their only source of food. That only source of food is you while you sleep. Bedbugs cannot feed on anything else other than your blood. It is their greatest weakness, everything about bedbugs is about blood. We can even say that we have bedbugs only because we feed them. If we want to get rid of bedbugs, we must stop feeding them. A bedbug that cannot bite is only a helpless insect that will die from lack of food. It is useless to try to chase bedbugs, it only spreads them. Poison is the main cause of the actual bedbug migrations, pushing them out of apartments instead of killing them, to infest others. What we really have to do is to cut off their only source of food. It might sound too simple but it is the real solution to a bedbug infestation. Stop feeding them. All of that is nice and promises the eradication of bedbugs, but the real question is how do you do that? Bedbugs are not so different from other insects. There is another blood-sucking insect that we know how to deal with, the annoying mosquito. And what do we do to stop mosquitoes from being able to bite us, we put screens in our windows. Does that make sense? Of course it does, the whole world knows about it. But how do you make a screen for a blood-sucking insect that does not fly and hides in our bed or around it? Well that screen for bedbugs has to be over the bed instead of in the window. It is a bedbug shield, a barrier covering the only place where bedbugs can feed, an impenetrable barrier on the bed, between the bedbugs and yourself. A bedbug shield will keep bedbugs from being able to reach you while you sleep. Bedbugs come out of hiding at night, get under the shield draped over the bed and remain stuck underneath it without any chance of being able to reach you. Bedbugs are defeated. Bedbugs cannot have anymore blood to feed on and bedbugs begin to die of starvation. That's it. As soon as you put a shield on your bed, all bedbug bites stop at once! All you have to do is to put a shield over your bed. Bedbugs will keep hiding daytime and will try to get in vain through the shield at night. Bedbugs are drawn under the shield like a magnet where they remain stuck and unable to get out and forever unable to feed. Sounds simple? It works! A bedbug shield is something really inexpensive that anybody can make with a few simple things you already have or can be found in your area. A shield is made with a long sheet of plastic, about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long, attached and sealed to the sides of a fabric contour sheet, the one with the elastic in it. Fix and adjust the long plastic to the sides of the mattress with small squares of duct tape so that it goes all around the bed, hanging down like a skirt all around the bed, to about one inch above the floor. The plastic sides will keep any bedbugs from being able to reach you while you sleep comfortably and soundly on top of the shield placed over the bed. Why is it comfortable? Because the top of the shield is made with a normal contour sheet that bedbugs cannot get through anymore that they cannot get through the plastic sides of the shield. Totally safe and the ultimate bedbug barrier. And all for the cost of a sheet of plastic and a roll of duct tape. Here is an example of a bedbug shield: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bojcXqWva5t0bbc That's all you need to stop bedbugs and the shield can and will stop any bedbug infestation. But there are even more ways to fight bedbugs, and one of the best are the CO2 bedbug traps. Once your shield is in place, you might want to catch any bedbug that might have left the bed and are hiding somewhere in the room. The CO2 bedbug trap will attract them and lure them into small glass pitfalls from which they cannot get out of. CO2 bedbug traps are well described in various videos and a website made especially for bedbug fighters. It is at julesnoise.com There also are bedbug barriers that can keep bedbugs from being able to go anywhere but down to the floor where the CO2 bedbug traps are. An example of how something as simple as scotch tape can stop any bedbug infestation can be found at: Bedbug Barriers - Stop All Bedbugs and Eliminate Them! ___ kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2bWd61vn6hgpLM Have a look at this and protect yourself with things you can do for yourself and it will be the complete stop of all bedbug bites and the end of bedbugs. Knowledge and two good hands is what defeats bedbugs. JulesNoise

[@matmc71]

I feel the same. its been 2 months for me. Costing me a fortune in money and lost sleep. did u ever get rid of them and how?

[@lateshiaparker6625]

Hey did u find a cure? Please reply

[@kimayahsmith444]

Thanx for the info. They were making me paranoid!!!!!! I spent a lot of money to get rid of this problem, and not sure what to think. I will try this.

[@PlanetRockJesus]

This is one of the most inspiring bed bug video out there! The one thing I would add, though, is that the entire bed and frame must be treated before the traps are set out. The bed must be away from any walls or curtains. NEVER set anything on the bed that hasn't been fully "cleansed." Put foot traps under each bed foot, then set the CO2 traps out. The more the merrier! The most important thing is not to get bit, because adults lay 3-5 eggs after each feeding. Prevent egg laying, and kill bugs!

[@OneTime77100]

omg! Im so happy I found your video, I been having bedbugs now for over a year, they come a go... lately they are out of control...and Im bit everywhere...all over my body...i am depressed and constantly waking up at night with a flash light looking for them and its driving me crazy. I WILL FOLLOW your instructions on this video and will try to the best of my ability to make a bedbug trap and I pray and hope it works..I pray it will, now I just got to find out where to buy CO2 and ingredients

[@jmackinac]

Doesn't the rubber band over the plastic sheething over the 2 liter bottle prevent the gas from getting the bowl? The straw method looks viable.

[@natlap1966]

À la fin du vidéo.... "esti d'calisse"? 🤣 un gars du Québec certains ça👍 Merci pour tes vidéos. T'as pas idée comment ça va m'aider et aider les autres.

[@TynaGaines]

My mom & dad had them. As soon as they discovered them in the bed they removed the mattress and box spring from the house and got new ones and tthey never had another problem with bed bugs after that day. My suggestion is as soon as you see them in the bed take mattress and box spring outside and cover them with bed bug proof encasements. Never spray anything when you see them. That's what makes them scatter to other rooms in the house.

[@berrysweet2321]

Hi, I made a shield with plastic to cover my whole bed and head board, it works yal! No more bites, this man is a genius!

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

Berry Sweet __ Excellent! Bedbugs dared to attack Berry Sweet ? Berry Sweet got a shield and bedbug will pay for that with their life.Berry Sweet will make them suffer with agonies of starvation because Berry Sweet does not feed bedbugs anymore! Genius... ? No it is people power! All of us together, each of us beating bedbugs into hell. JulesNoise

[@berrysweet2321]

LOL! Yeah!!!

[@joseespinosa9343]

Goodness! This guy has a trap convention going on!

[@MarieAdventure]

Hello @JnSavedByTheBell I made one last night with 4 bottles that I saw from you other video Making CO2. I caught one this morning. When I get a chance I will make a video of the bugs trapped and will link to yours for the instructions how to make one. My question is, how did I get a beg bug when I clean my room every week and also spray peppermint? Thanks so much!

[@dramroo]

Tried the trap and got nothing :(

[@slater1ist]

this guy's expertise is incalculable. I mean Priceless! Thanks man! You really made me an expert just from watching. No more worrying about exterminator costs!

[@NayNay-my9bg]

Did you say the mixture will flow out of the bottle onto the floor? If so, will it ruin the carpet? What would you suggest if the bed is too low for the bottles? Do I need to cover the headboard with plastic too? Your video is awesome!!

[@PeytiezMomma912]

you are a great man!!!!!! Helping people you don't even know!!!!! I wish there were more like you in the world!!!?

[@TynaGaines]

I had them about 10 years ago. I did my mattress and box spring in encasements. I pulled my bed away from the wall. I put the legs of the bed into small plastic bowls of water. Bed bugs will not go through water to get to you. We had to throw the sofa and loveseat away because my son would stay up playing XBox and fall asleep on the sofa. We hired an exterminator and did a monthly payment plan. I think they had to spray about 6 or 7 times. It took months but we finally got rid of them.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__Sandi Johnson__No, the mixture does not flow out of the bottle and on to the carpet. It is only the CO2, an invisible gas produced by the mixture that overflows from the small glass pitfalls and runs in trails on the floor. There is no damage whatsoever done by the trap except a possible knock-down of the bottles and a spill of the sugary mixture. With a low bed, it is best to use a low container instead of tall 2L bottles. The size oand shape of the container holding the mixture does not matter, so you can choose any container that is convenient for you and that could fit under the bed. CO2 is produced by the mixture and brought into the small glass pitfalls placed behind each leg of the bed, using either a 1/4 airline tubing such as found in any hardware store or in a pet store (used for aquariums), or you can make your own tubing by assembling common drinking straws together. Using airline tubing or straws to bring the CO2 in the small glass pitfalls (the best pitfalls are made with unused 1 oz shot glasses). Airline tubing or straws allows you to place the container (s) with the mixture anywhere you want, the best place for the containers is near a wall and out of the way, avoiding any possible knock-down or spillage of the mixture. If you are asking about covering the headboard or not tells me that you are using or planning to use a bedbug shield. That is the ultimate protection against bedbugs, prevention against bedbugs even before they can have a bite. Bedbugs that can't feed cannot molt or lay eggs. Bedbugs that can't feed simply cannot survive and bedbugs die of starvation. That's what I call the final end of bedbugs. Now, you know that the shield must be between you and the bedbugs. There must be no holes or paths bedbugs can use to get to you, so you fix your shield to prevent bedbugs from being able to climb up. The headboard can be covered with plastic too if you want or find it easier for you to do so, but there is better than that by simply killing bedbugs that might be in the headboard by using 91% rubbing alcohol that kills bedbugs on contact. To further protect the headboard from any bedbug or egg that might have been missed, a thin coat of wax to fill any interstice, crack or crevice will entomb anything in those intersticse, cracks or crevices. Those bedbugs are dead or soon to be. To keep bedbugs from being able to climb back up on the headboard, use bedbug barriers on the legs of the bed or any other piece of furniture or on the walls. See julesnoise.com/2014/05/21/bedbug-barriers/ or Bedbug Barriers - Stop All Bedbugs and Eliminate Them! to see bedbugs stopped by these tape barriers. Those barriers are really inexpensive and can be used anywhere you want to keep bedbugs from going into. They are made with simple 3/4" scotch tape to which you add common talcum (baby powder) to their shiny surface and keep bedbugs from being able to cross them. Once your set-up is in place, you can stop worrying about bedbugs that will never be able to bite again. How do you get rid of bedbugs or any other crawling insect? You simply take their food away. Bedbugs that can't feed will die of starvation. And that's all there is to bedbugs. A simple annoying insect that can be easily defeated by using simple means that most anyboby have at home or can get locally for a fraction of the price exterminators demand to eliminate bedbugs after they wait until you have a full blown infestation. The bedbug traps and the bedbug shield do not wait for the infestation to mature, it blocks, stops, suffocate and starve bedbugs before they even have a chance to bite. Join the hundreds of thousands of people who have used the bedbug trap and shield and who are now bedbug free. In respect JulesNoise °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

[@NayNay-my9bg]

As you can tell, science wasn't my thing, but I can write a research paper guaranteed to get you an A+!! Thanks again for the info, and thanks for saving me and others LOTS of money.

[@gammondog]

I suppose that the plastic shield goes over the entire bed as one sheet covering the headboards and posts.Only covering the mattress and box spring would allow bridges and defeat our efforts. Pet shops that sell aquariums might be a good source for plastic tubing. Fortunately, I don't yet have bedbugs, but your video has gotten me to think about solving the problem.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

A mattress cover is good only for bedbugs already in the mattress but does not stop bedbugs outside of it to feed on you. The plastic over the whole bed, including the head board and with its sides hanging down almost all the way to the floor stops all the bedbugs outside the mattress encasement and bedbugs elsewhere in the room from reaching you and biting you

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__G unzmith29r__2/4__So, we put a plastic shield over the bed to keep bedbugs which are already in the bed from being able to reach us and feed of our blood and traps under the bed to catch bedbugs which are looking for food by following the traces of CO2 we exhale while we sleep. The bedbugs under the plastic die of starvation and the bedbugs caught by the traps die of exhaustion and suffocation, while you sleep soundly without a bite.

[@love2vintage]

Best bed bug video ever, just love the stylish traps as well 👍🏼

[@pepsiwilder9452]

Dear JN, My question is removing clutter. I bought some toilet paper and left it in the shopping bag on the floor. I got a new roll and a baby nymph was in it and now I don't know where the critters are. I will have to be making CO2 traps this weekend. I was sleeping on an air-bed but it had some irreparable holes. So I'm on a make-shift bed of sorts. Elevated on a trampoline, with a cheaper air-bed until the replacement comes in. My problem started when I visited a male neighbors apartment and he did not tell me that he had bed bugs until a month later on a second visit. I sat on his couch and it turns out that his neighbor 2 doors down is infested again after 2 years. My apartment building will give out plastic containers to put in freshly laundered clothes. But their treatments only involve spraying some clear spray and putting dicohet....[sp???] powder around the perimeter of the room. I'm going to use your formula since it is "natural". WANT YOUR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO CHECK CLOTHING IN CLOSET, DRAWERS, even the CONTAINERS.... To see if I have remedied the situation. The guy states that he doesn't have any bugs but he's still itching. As long as he doesn't see them, he thinks they are gone. The building did his apartment, but I don't have the help yet.... I believe, it will be your method or else.... Would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you...

[@jeremys3153]

Is that plastic you put around the outside of the bowl so they can crawl up?? And does the plastic also go into the bowl or only the outside??? Answer appreciated

[@brentfoto]

I went ahead and purchased some double-side duck tape to place on the long wooden legs on the bed. What views do you have on using such double-sided tape?

[@Olguini]

Dear Jules, thanks a lot for your very worthy information ! Sorry for my bad English. I have already put a long plastic on the mattress but I did not have enough time to make the traps. The bed bugs bite almost around my eyes (it is horrible, they bite really near the eyes). Problems: - I do not have a bed frame, I only have a bed lattice and on the lattice lies the mattress. I.e. insects have only 2,5 cm to klimb (metal) and to reach me. I cannot put the traps under the bed but beside it.

[@sterlinghayden4096]

Simply amazing, and works too!

How fast is this supposed to work?, I did this last night, and followed all the directions and I got nothing in the morning. Please help!

[@curiouscharacter1]

Can I ask what type of tubing you use? I was considering a rubber hose but, with it being floppy it could touch the sides of the collection cup and provide a means of escape for the Bed Bugs. I like your stiff, bendable tubing and wonder where you can purchase it.

[@alowe2007]

Hello how long to it take to see if any bug are in the trap

[@brendabrown2818]

you have a lot of good ideas.where did you buy the tubing?

[@Wakeup2theNWO01]

When you say use a barrier with plastic, do you mean an encasement or a huge piece of plastic letting it hang down not touching the floor?

[@jennyyujiashi135]

Hi, thanks you for posting these videos. I have watched pretty much all of them and am ready and willing to do it on my own. I just have a few questions, can I replace baby powder with baking flour? in your other videos, you used 4 bottles in 1 trap, and on your website you mentioned that its recommened to have 4 traps at each corners of the bed, does that mean i need to have 16 bottles in total in order for it to be powerful enough to trick bedbugs? Can I use recycling bag as my bed cover?

[@JesusOurKing]

Hi did you figure it out? I'm trying to learn this also but I don't understand what's he using to make CO2? I read we need water, sugar, and yeast but I only have nutritional yeast at the moment. Seeing its been 10 yrs since you posted I pray you're free of this psychological nightmare 🙏

[@cuclapa]

I have used this traps and THEY WORK. Dude ! thank you so much for this info. I caught them the next day using your tips. I m just wondering. Are you romanian ? Cheers and once again thank you. It made a big difference for me.

[@jasontaylor1960]

Do.yoi have to put plastic on the bed for it to work?

[@stephdunn4717]

Hey, I really appreciate all the examples you gave. Can you recommend a way to get those cool little black tubes? I want to play around with your ideas but I've never seen tubes like that.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

These tubes are airline tubing that can be found in Pet Shops (sold for aquariums) or in a hardware store. They are great to bring the CO2 that attract bedbugs from the container (any container will do) to the small glass pitfalls placed behind each leg of the bed. I also make my own tubes using flexible drinking straws. It needs a little more tinkering but give excellent results.

[@JesusOurKing]

Would sugar, warm water, and nutritional yeast work? It's an inactive form of yeast, but perhaps it becomes active when combined with sugar and water.

[@alicialeigh3558]

How long does a bottle/s of homemade co2 bedbug traps last? Or how often should I refill/make homemade bedbug trap containers?

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__ Alicia Boda To make CO2, you need: • 2 cups of sugar • 1 envelope (8g) active dry yeast • 2 quarts of lukewarm water (40C or 100F) The mixture should last 2-3 weeks • It will make CO2 as long as the liquid is light tan color and cloudy with few slow rising tiny bubbles forming a thin ring on top of the brew. When the mixture turns clear (lemonade like) the fermentation is spent and you should empty it, rinse the bottle thoroughly with the hottest water from the faucet and make another mix. To make sure that all bedbugs are dead, it is best to keep the traps running for at least 90 days, which is the average length of time that bedbugs can last dormant without a meal. I recommend keeping two traps running after that period but using only half the yeast in the recipe to make the bottles last twice as long and use them as sentinels against re-infestation. • The full recipe is at julesnoise.com/665-2/ Use the traps along with a Bedbug Shield. A bedbug shield is an impenetrable barrier that is put on the bed and that stops all and every bedbug bites at once. Along with the traps it will get rid of all bedbugs completely and right down to the last one. The Shield and the Traps leave no bedbug behind. The Shield can be found at: The Bedbug Shield The whole system is fully explained at: julesnoise.com/

[@alicialeigh3558]

JnSavedByTheBell Thanks so much, I really do appreciate that. You know it's funny, the pest control people don't want you to know this, that's why they tell you there is no other way than through them. Spending thousands of dollars on bedbugs is ridiculous. It don't make sense. You're a god send to a whole lot of us out here and thank goodness you're here to teach us how to get rid of this horrible plague. thanks again

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

Alicia Boda You are most welcome Alicia, it gives me a great deal of satisfaction to tell people how to become bedbug free. Every time someone hears about it, they lose a customer! Have a look at the “Bedbug Free” page of the CO2 Bedbug Trap website (julesnoise.com/2014/02/05/4/) and read Shelley’s story. She stopped all her bedbugs at once with the shield and did not get a single bite since then. Her costs to make the traps and the shield were a mere 25$ (local materials) and she is so relieved, enthusiast and happy. That’s exactly what will happen to you, within a few days after you have your traps on the floor and the shield on the bed, the bedbug nightmare will disappear along the bedbug bites. You will still have bedbugs but no bedbug worries, simply waiting for bedbugs to die without getting a single bite. Bedbugs eliminate themselves every time they come out of hiding in trying in vain to feed. It is your body heat and the CO2 of the traps that attract bedbugs and you block the only way they have to reach you. Bedbugs start to hate you and you start to smile. You will never be bothered by bedbugs again and even if you do, you will know how to catch the very first ones, eliminating the whole colony before it even has a chance to start. It is knowledge that eliminates and will eradicate bedbugs, leaving abusive pest control people with nothing but the unemployment line. Contact me again if you have any difficulties or with updates of your progress. Life is good when you can defeat bedbugs at will. JulesNoise

I realize that this question might have already been asked, but I was still wondering where I can get plastic tubings, will regular straws work the same? Would straws be too thick? Thank you very much!

[@jennyyujiashi135]

I can't tell if they are bug bites since they are so small and arn't shown in clusters. sometimes they appear during the day too. I guess i will have to wait till tomorrow to make the traps. Since I have matress covers on, would the plastic cover still work well in my case?

[@jonyu96]

Hey this is the same person that commented on your other video. Thanks for the feedback! Revisiting your site and watching this video seemed very helpful. Before I do this trap, I have to get myself a bed frame as I don't sleep on one. I realized that is very bad, because the mattress would have direct contact with the floor. Thank you for making a great video. And I have one question, what would happen if the trap can't fit under the bed?

[@jennyyujiashi135]

Hi Jules, thank you so much for your replies! I am just making the plastic matress cover now. I bought some yellow leave bags from the dollar store, can I cut them out into single layers or do you think it it better if I don't cut them and just tape them together so I have a double layer plastic sheet?

[@yaz0031]

How long until I replace the water ? How long will it run for ?

[@ChahProductions]

I left a bed bug trap in my guest bedroom where i was bitten. It's been in there for a few days and it hasn't caught any bugs. I left the window open so there is a breeze going throughout the room. Do you think this breeze coming through the window is disrupting the CO2? Also, after i do catch the bed bugs, how should kill or dispose of them? Stab them? Freeze them? Burn them? And how often should i be checking the bed bug trap. Thanks so mcuh!

[@lisagaines2296]

Thanks for your video, I just made a couple of traps using your techniques however I do have a question about the plastic placement on the bed. Is the plastic underneath the sheet that you sleep on or is it in between the mattress & box spring? Thanks

[@BibleExposition2022]

Vinegar and baking soda generate massive amount of CO2 than sugar and yeast? Some videos on KZbin show that, so can one use that instead of sugar and yeast? Thx

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__Xuong Peter Luong__Yes, it is true that vinegar and baking soda produces CO2 when mixed together. Massive amounts of CO2? Not really as the amount of CO2 is proportional to the quantities of vinegar and baking soda used, so to have massive amounts of CO2, you need massive amounts of vinegar and baking soda. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NaHCO3 + CH3COOH = CH3COONa + H2O + CO2: (sodium bicarbonate ) + (acetic acid ) = (sodium acetate) + (water) + (carbon dioxide) One mole of soda reacts with one mole of acid to produce one mole of CO2 gas 3.69 g of soda = 3.69/84.01 = 0.04392 mol 50 mL 5% acetic acid is 0.05*50 = 2.5 g. = 2.5/60.05 = 0.04163 mol molar mass of sodium bicarbonate = 84.01 g/mol molar mass of acetic acid = 60.05 g/ml Acetic acid is the limiting reactant, so 0.04163 mol of CO2 is produced (theoretically) the volume of CO2 is found from the gas law, V = n*R*T/P V = volume in L R = 0.08207 L-atm/ºK-mol T = temp in ºK P = pressure in atm So, 3.69 g of soda and 50 mL 5% acetic acid gives 0.08207 liters of CO2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry about the fastedious chemical reaction of vinegar and baking soda, but it explains where the CO2 comes from and most importantly, how long the chemical reaction will last. Vinegar and baking soda is a fast chemical reaction and it goes in effervescence as soon as you mix them together, lasting only a few minutes before it goes flat and then stops producing CO2. If someone would use vinegar and baking soda to make a bedbug trap, the vinegar and baking soda mixture would have to be renewed every 5-10 minutes to have an effective bedbug trap and I doubt anybody would do that every day for weeks if not months. That's the reason we use fermentation (sugar and yeast) to produce CO2, as fermentation will produce small quantities of CO2 for weeks before it goes flat, as it has been demonstrated by wine homemakers for decades. Wine homemakers are interested by the alcohol content, which we discard as it is only the CO2 that we are interested in. CO2 attract bedbugs and fermentation is the right combination of quantity of CO2 as well as the right duration of the production of CO2. About the quantity of CO2 needed to attract bedbugs. Most people think that bedbugs need the equivalent of human breathing to attract bedbugs, it is not true as bedbugs evolved on bats in caves, detecting bats sleeping upside down from the very small amount of CO2 given off by such small animals as bats. In fact, it is not the amount of CO2 that attract bedbugs but the simple fact that there is CO2 cascading down from the bed in wisps and trails and on the floor. It is the movement of the CO2 that attract bedbugs, not its quantity. How? Bedbugs can detect CO2 by sight, not smell as CO2 is odorless. CO2 absorbs heat and bedbugs which have thermal vision (thermal vision, night vision or infrared vision are three ways of describing the same thing, the ability to see in the dark) see CO2 as trails and wisps of dark smoke coming from us while we sleep or from the CO2 generators of the bedbug traps. That's why CO2 attract bedbugs. You can make your own experiments, but you will soon find out that only fermentation is best suited to produce CO2 that will last long enough to make a working bedbug trap. Here is the recipe to make your own bedbug trap: julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe9.jpg There are many ways to make the containers of the bedbug trap, but basically it follow the same procedure. julesnoise.com/2014/10/27/a-simple-bedbug-trap/. A bottle or a container to hold the sugar and yeast mixture with small tubes (or equivalent drinking straws assembly) to bring the CO2 in small glass pitfalls that bedbugs cannot get out of. Other traps can be made following: Making a CO2 Bedbug Trap with Plastic Containers - julesnoise.com/2014/10/27/a-simple-bedbug-trap/ or The Easiest and Fastest Bedbug Trap ever - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp3TpHegltlkgas Bedbug traps work on the floor, catching bedbugs when they come out of hiding to go towards the bed to feed. But bedbugs that already are in the bed will not go back down to the floor and will not be caught by the traps. To stop and eliminate bedbugs already in the bed, you must put an impenetrable barrier between the bedbugs and yourself. I call such a barrier a bedbug shield. It stops all bedbug bites at once and any bedbug stuck under the shield will never be able to bite again. Those bedbugs under the shield are effectively stopped and without any food (our warm blood) to feed on, those bedbugs will die of starvation within a few weeks. Here is how to make your own bedbug shield: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bojcXqWva5t0bbc, or different ways to make bedbug shields for different sizes and shapes of beds: julesnoise.com/2013/06/20/50/. The shield is as important as the trap as they work together to eliminate bedbugs right down to the last one. To complete your set-up and make your place completely bedbug-proof, you can add bedbug barriers to keep bedbugs down and keep them from being to climb up anywhere. Bedbug barriers work on the walls and the ceiling as well as on the legs of the bed and the furniture (better than overpriced ClimbUp Interceptors). All bedbugs are kept down and are sent to the floor where the traps are waiting to catch them. Here is how bedbug barriers work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2bWd61vn6hgpLM. You now have the complete bedbug trap. A shield on the bed to stop all bedbug biyes at once, CO2 traps on the floor to catch roaming bedbugs and bedbug barriers everywhere to keep bedbugs down and eliminate them from the whole room. It is your hands and your wits that will eliminate bedbugs, as when you will have done it once, you will never, ever be bothered by bedbugs again. Trust the bedbug trap, it has eliminated millions of bedbugs all over the world and it keeps working for anybody that want to make their own traps. Best regards JulesNoise

OMG. I', so glad I found your videos!!! I have been trying to get rid of the bed bugs for years!!! I hope your methods work for me. But, my bed is king size, and the head board and foot board ( made of wood) are attatched with wood railings. My Son's bed is a crib that can be made into a bad. Right now it is a "daybed". How can I remve thenfrom these? PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you!!! =)

[@derangedband]

*DISTRESS* i just caught one on my arm as i was watching this video! what a horrible species :(

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__Derangedband No beauty contest, that's for sure and their habits are even worse. Here is the bad news, as long as they can feed on your blood, you will have bedbugs. Urgent, make a bedbug shield for your bed so you can sleep at night. A shield keeps bedbugs from being able to bite and slowly starve them to death. A bedbug traps lures them and catch them when they come out of hiding to try to feed. The shield on the bed and traps on the floor will eliminate all and any bedbug right down to the last one. The Bedbug Shield There are more videos about the shield and the traps and you can also get more information on the CO2 Bedbug Trap website at julesnoise.com/

[@derangedband]

still got my bug shield and i havent seen one in absolutely ages ^_^ im always very grateful for these videos when i think about how bad it was

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

derangedband Hello Kris. It is so nice to hear about you. How long has it been, two and half months since we last talked? I did not forget you; I simply carried on with a multitude of other people stuck with bedbugs. They all get bedbug free, I’m not kidding, it is real, it’s damn real! Keep the Shield on for another few weeks. Dormant bedbugs can last up to 92 days without feeding (average mortality rate at 68°F). If there is a dormant bedbug left somewhere it is in the last stages of its starvation agony. Do not disturb it and let it feel its last death throes, so that if it ever any bedbug ever dare comes back, you will also give it more of the same. No bedbug has ever survived a bedbug shield, unless you take your total protection off too soon. The shield must last way much longer than any bedbug can survive! Leave it on until you reach 90 days without a single bite or any trace or sighting of bedbugs. Mine has been on for the last four years, I regularly go to bedbug infested places without a single worry about bringing a bedbug home. Bedbugs do not last long around me, why should I be impressed by an insect that I can block and catch at will, even before it has a chance to bite? In a few weeks, remove the shield. Vacuum the mattress and the whole bed. Brush the mattress and bed with soapy water (surface cleaning only, without soaking the mattress) and kill bacteria and microscopic mites (if any) with 91% rubbing alcohol. Your mattress and your bed will look and smell of a renewed freshness. Rubbing alcohol does that by killing any bacteria and smell that might be in the mattress, brushing it gives it its new freshly cleaned appearance. You will sleep like a log on this final setting of your bedbug trap. The next thing is to turn your actual traps, shield and barriers into sentinels against any possible future bedbug infestation. Now that the bed and the whole room are free of bedbugs and that your bed is fresh. You will not need to replace the shield, simple bedbug barriers around the legs of the bed will be enough to stop any bedbug from being able to climb up. To make it possible to push the bed back on the walls, put bedbug barriers on the walls and the ceiling. You can probably keep the Scotch tape barriers you already have in place. Other than these simple barriers, there is nothing else special to do. It was nice to do that with you. You are pleasant and open-minded, I like that. I even had fun seeing you go after bedbugs and defeat them; you are one of the best. I’m looking forward to contact you from time to time and brag how good we are. There is no doubt in my mind that Kris Munday is bedbug-proof! In friendship Julien

[@derangedband]

JnSavedByTheBell i see no reason to ever take it off to be honest! it hardly gets in the way - i barely notice the shield - i dont really miss using my seat bed as a sofa and i sleep on my memory foam mattress these days ^_^ (i still wont let my friend in my room again though... i told him to consult the videos and get it sorted but hes too lazy. i guess he likes being bug food)

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

derangedband Hardly gets in the way, barely notice it, no reason to take it off ever... permanent protection against bedbugs. I wish your friend would see things your way. But there is no blame given, it is true that some people are not bothered by bedbug bites, the same as some people tolerate mosquito bites. The fact is that if bedbug bites are annoying and troublesome, they are nearly harmless. All the damage done by bedbugs is psychological and depends only on our reaction to bedbugs. To some people, bedbugs are absolutely intolerable and some even want to burn the house down, while others have very little, if any reaction to them. It is emotional distress that causes the bedbug nightmare, but not the insect itself. In your case Kris, you reacted with annoyance to the bedbug and it made you search for a way to fight them. You never went into helplessness and we had fun chasing them. Bedbugs opened the door to a nice friendly relation between two people across the pond with similar views and interests and I discovered a free- minded gentleman with a sharp mind. You are the only one with whom I discussed xenomorphs and compared them to bedbugs, I liked it. This is the bedbug aftermath, the period where we have peace of mind (at last) and resume the things we enjoy in life. I receive your videos and enjoy them, they tell me that Kris is okay and that is also something I like. Keep doing the things you do. It is a good life In friendship Julien

[@sunilb101]

I want to make this bottle trap. But can you please tell me what you filled in the bottle? Where can I find CO2? can I keep this bottle trap on top of the mattress. Please reply ASAP

[@2Sloans]

have you tried that diatomaceous earth stuff?

[@jennyyujiashi135]

It has been a week since they found out I have the problem and they had already had my apartment sprayed by a spray guy. I did purchase matrress and boxspring covers for my bed and I have already put them on. I vacuumed and had my carpet steam cleaned too, which cost me a fortune. I have not received any typical bedbug like bites but since I was told the problem, I have noticed (because I started looking every inch of my skin very carefully) tiny red dots on my arms.

[@jennyyujiashi135]

the mattress and the boxspring, but no matter how hard I try, the rope just couldn't be tied tight enough to hold itself in place, so I tuck the plastic in between the mattress and the boxing spring. Is that okay? Same as the string on the box spring, I just couldn't tie it hard enough either. Is it crucial that the strings are tied very tight?

[@BabyDoveMe]

I went to your website and read through the info. I have a question about the co2 being released through straws. I am unable to see the bubbles in the water when I place the straw end inside a glass of water, do you know what errors I should be looking for in the straw placement?

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@ _JS Shi_ It is okay, since you have containers under the legs and dusted them, bedbugs will not be able to climb up. Bedbugs will not be able to make the 180 turn at the edge of the plastic from the inside to the outside, will lose their grip and fall to the floor where your traps are. Anything else is making sure the sheets do not touch the walls and the floor making no pathway the bedbugs can use as a bridge to get to you on top. The rope is only meant to hold the plastic in place.

[@ymcmbjs]

Is the plastic only supposed to be around the outside of the bowl?? And also is that only water inside the 2 liter bottle im gonna try this out and I just wanna make sure im following all the steps correctly

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

The outside of the bowl should be covered with a cloth or a paper towel to allow bedbus to climb up and into the bowl. The inside of the bowl should be slippery so bedbugs won't be able to get ot. We can make any smooth surface too slippery for bedbugs by putting talcum powder on the inside of the bowl. No, the water should be replaced by a sugar and yeast mixture found at julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe8.jpg

[@sunilb101]

I made a trap yesterday night but didn't catch any bedbug in my trap. My bottle trap is covered with a plastic bag and I see a lot of bubbles rising up (because of Yeast) Is that ok ?

Please help...........

[@brentfoto]

I've been to your site and also have watched most of your videos. Will be trying out the traps and the shields, in addition to DE, 91% alcohol, steam, vacuuming, etc. Thank you so much for your contributions to eradicating these pests, which have made my life nearly unbearable.

[@BootyClapn]

How'd it go? What was your solution?

[@brentfoto]

@@BootyClapn It’s hard to remember because it’s so many years ago. To the best of my recollects and this method worked along with diametacious earth and a few other things I don’t exactly recall. I think the method of this video was probably the most effective and I see the results of the dead bugs the dead ones going into the bowl. The whole experience was really terrible. I had bites and welts and I’ve never told landlord in the building about as I had just moved in. I moved out two years ago.

[@stargate4698]

Thank You, I will try these tips. My sisters bedroom is covered in them, everything seems to not work permanently. I have forwarded an email, written by me with your instructions, not the actual video. I hope this helps her. Where she lives, Gilroy CA., infestation is rampant and on a large scale everywhere, including most hotels and motels.

[@jennyyujiashi135]

Thanks for the quick reply. I was just reading the "step three" page on your website and I am just getting to the sterilization part. As you suggest, I need to also pour boiling water into my 2L plastic bottle, but would that cause the bottle to shrink because the water is too hot? Also I don't have a themoteter, is there any way I can tell if the water is lukewarm? Or does it mean it is if as long as the yeast rises?

[@pampooshampoo]

I have Questions. What C02 (drink name) has which attracts bed bugs?? Why tubing attachment is necessary with C02 container?? Won't just a small cup be fine with facility to bedbug to climb over, next to wheels of bed??Please let me know. Thanks.

[@TheMstish158]

do I have to use baby powder. have everything but that

[@jennyyujiashi135]

Also, is there anything I can do to prevent bug bites before making the traps? What is the purpose of putting a plastic/ or sock/ over the bottles? Wouldn't that block the co2 from coming out of the cap/tube?

[@sanfranciscobay]

1. What do you think of using a white dish pan type container to hold the CO2 generator in? Use some 8.5 x 11" paper to make a ramp into the dish pan container so the bugs can easily crawl up the ramp and into the dish pan, or cover the outside of the container with masking tape to help the bugs get a grip on the surface, then coat the inside plumb edges of the dishpan with talc powder? I'm thinking of using a gallon sized insulated container and filling it with dry ice, tent it with clear food wrap, put a few straws on the outside of the dry ice container to direct the CO2 gas to the bottom of the dish pan, and hold the straws and plastic wrap with a rubber band. 2. Should you put 1/16 of an inch layer of diatomaceous earth on the bottom of the bowl which holds the CO2 generator?

[@pepsiwilder9452]

Did you try your suggestions/questions yet.... would like to know if it worked. Have also heard of the dry ice technique. Let us know.... Thanks

[@wrotedog]

Can you use fly paper instead of powder

[@jennyyujiashi135]

would it be easier for you to answer if I send you photos of my plastic bed cover?

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__2Sloans__Yes, I have tried DE with the same results as everybody. DE is applied on baseboards and various places in the room but impractical in beds and that is where most (70-90%) bedbugs are. DE is for agricultural purposes where it can be spread around to dry up all kind of crawling insects which is not something you want to do in a house or apartment. Bedbugs can still bite you while there is white dust everywhere. Use a trap and a bedbug shield instead, it stops all bedbug bites at once

[@sunilb101]

I saw bedbugs on the mattress ONly. If I will keep the trap on the floor they will spread from one room to another. I have a carpet every where. What should I do?

[@StarOfStar]

I have made traps with 0.5 liter bottles, are those too small? I made the mixture in 2 liter bottle, with 11g yiest and around 6dl sugar then poured them in four different bottles, does that sound right? How specific you have to be with the amounts, that it will produce CO2? The problem is that i havent trapped single bed bug for 2 days now, how long it should take for them to come at traps?

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__BisseOnJees__Excellent. This is the best way to use the trap. Separating the 2L mix in four 500ml bottles is the best. One 500 ml trap for each leg of the bed. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp3TpHegltlkgas for 500 ml traps. The exact recipe is on: julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe9.jpg, but it does not have to be precise. More yeast means a faster reaction while more sugar means a longer reaction. Yeast is a micro-organism that feeds on sugar and releases CO2 from its breathing. It is the small tiny bubbles in our bread. So this micro-organism eats sugar and the more sugar you put in the mixture, the more time it will take that micro-organism to eat it. In the same fashion, the more yeast you put in the mixture, the more micro-organism you will have to eat that sugar. A word of caution, too much sugar kills the yeast and stops the fermentation. At 11 grams and 6 deciliter means that you are slightly high (a lot of micro-organism to eat the sugar), and also a bit high on sugar, 6 deciliter being 2 1/2 cups of sugar. But there is nothing like your own experience, satisfied with the measures you have, even if it not exactly following the recipe. Ask bread makers how they make their dough and you will have many answers that all work. CO2 is not a matter of quantity, bedbugs being to detect even very small quantities. Bedbugs evolved on bats which nearly give off as much CO2 as we do, bedbugs can detect the breathing of a very small animal, such as a hamster, I know, I had one when I got bedbugs and it is my hamster who found them. So what you need is a CO2 generator that will last a long time, at lrast two weeks. It just so happens that the recipe used for decades in aquariums gives off enough CO2 to attract bedbugs, no matter where they are in the room. Traps are placed where all bedbugs will go, on the floor behind each leg of the bed. Bedbugs will not move until they are hungry. And bedbugs might not be in the room but already in the bed. Traps do not catch bedbugs already in the bed. If you have the beginning or a small infestation, you might never catch a bedbug with the traps. What you need for bedbugs already in the bed is a bedbug shield. See how to make your own bedbug shield at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bojcXqWva5t0bbc A bedbug shield is an impenetrable barrier placed between the bugs and ourselves so they cannot reach us and feed on us. By placing a bedbug shield on the bed, you immediately have two things; first the protection of the net (the rquivalent of screens in the windows for mosquitoes but adapted to crawling insects; and you also take their food away by keeping them from sucking your blood. It is easy to make your own bedbug shield, all you need is a regular fabric contour sheet and a long strip of plastic, about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long. First fix the plastic strip to the sides of the mattress letting it hang down all around the bed, like a skirt, and adjusted to leave a space of about one inch before it touches the floor. Once the plastic skirt is in place, place the fabric contour sheet directly on the mattress and seal them together with duct tape (white duct tape is best for a better look). You now have a bed cover that will stop all and any crawling insect from being able to reach you. Bedbugs that cannot feed cannot molt. Bedbugs that cannot feed cannot lay eggs. Bedbugs that cannot feed simply cannot survive and slowly die of starvation. All is said in an old rhyme: "Good night, sleep tight, and here are the key words, don't let the bedbug bite!"

[@StarOfStar]

JnSavedByTheBell Thank you so much for your answer! So the mixture amounts really counts, i guess i put too little sugar, so the yies ate all the sugar in no time. Its 4-5days now and i have yet caught a single bed bug yet. The infestion is pretty big, without the shield you will get multiple huge bites from one night. Anyway, i just bought a new bed, just incase made a shield for it, i taped the walls and ceiling (is it true they climb to ceiling and drop themselves onto bed?) and i put two traps (unseccessful traps, i guess). In my case, the traps are useless in bed maybe? I mean, if the bed isnt infested, the bed itself is a trap when i sleep in it. I could just put a plastic bowls under all legs of the bed, and it should do the trick, yeah? But in living room is where the traps comes handy, i should do some more research and remake the traps i guess.These bastards are a bit more desperate since we bought a new bed, they now are more brave and eat me while im on this chair on my computer. Just wow, gotta hate those bites. lol.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

BisseOnJees __ The mixture amounts gives us control over how long it will last. I use traps as sentinels in place where there are no bedbugs. A trap at half yeast will last twice as long, so we do not nave to replace as often. Your amount of sugar is okay, 2.5 vs 2.0 is no big deal, it will only give the yeast more sugar to eat. It is the number of these micro organism of yeast that will eat it more quickly or not. 11 grams is like nearly one and a half times of two week recipe. So without the shield, you get multiple bites, how many bites do you get with the shield? The shield is the answer, it will also be for your chair. You used tape to protect the walls and the ceiling. Adding talcum powder to the surface of these tapes will make them totally impossible for bedbugs to climb on. The same thin will apply to your desk and chair. Use narrow 3/4" scotch tape to make bedbug barriers. This video shows bedbugs unable to cross such tape: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2bWd61vn6hgpLM. What barriers do is send bedbugs down to the floor where the traps are, clearing the whole room out of bedbugs. Your bed is the trap by itself? damn right it is! It is a bedbug magnet. It draws in bedbugs without letting them feed. Bedbugs are trapped underneath a shield, their only future is starvation. Hunger controls bedbugs and you can eliminate them through their greatest weakness, hunger. Because they become hungry, they come out of hiding and they go all by themselves towards the traps, We use that against them, we trap them and we catch them all, the trap leaves no bedbug behind. Imagine bedbugs so stupid that they walk into a trap all by themselves. Are we in a hurry? I'm not, I let the trap do all the work while I carry on with my life, not worrying about bedbugs that can't bite. So how many bites do you have with the shield? Apply the same method to your desk and chair. Barriers work for both the bed and the chair, and also for the desk. First clear the chair out of bedbugs. A simple objet that can easily be manipulated is relatively easy to clear out of bedbugs with 91% rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol kills bedbugs on contact, use a small paint brush dipped in alcohol to fill all the joints and the interstices of the chair, the alcohol will get into all those small spaces and will kill any bedbug or egg that might be in there. Bedbugs need about the space of a credit card to have a place to hide, they also hide in screw holes where they are difficult to see. Then look at the path bedbugs have to take to climb up into the chair and desk. From the ground up is the only way bedbugs can get into them since you have blocked their way with your barriers on the walls and the ceiling. So place a band of 1/2" scotch tape around the legs of the chair and desk, 1/2" is enough to stop 1/4" long bedbugs. The scotch tape bands are barriers that bedbugs cannot cross, they have to stay on the floor where the bedbugs traps are. It is better than the commercial Climb-Up, faster and easier to install, and it is unbreakable unlike the Climb-Up. Every time you put one one of those bands around a leg, you save 5$. It costs next to nothing and it works. DIY is smart. You can make your traps to be discrete and almost out of sight. The container holding the mixture can be placed near a wall or behind the couch. Airline tubing can bring the CO2 to the small glasses used as pifalls bedbugs can't get out. It could be anything made from glass, porcelain or even hard smooth plastic. One of my correspondent used flower vases at both ends of her couch to serve as bedbug pitfalls. A little bit of talcum powder and turned her vases into a deadly bedbug trap, and nobody suspects anything, Bedbugs? She's got flowers to protect her. What's left for bedbugs to climb on? Your shoes? Wear something smooth and difficult to climb on, it will last only a few weeks as the shield and the traps do their job. If it seems to take a long time, it is because bedbugs do not feed every day and come out of hiding only when they are hungry. If they remain active, they can last weeks without feeding and up to three months if they become dormant. All that matters is that you keep them from feeding with simple inexpensive ways. It is easy, you are doing it. Keep doing it and you will be bedbug-proof. You really hate those bites? Keep them from doing it, starve them to death instead, best permanent way to get rid of them.

just wondering wut does one put inside the pop bottle?

@__Qbanlooner__When "professional" treatment fail... it happens so often and brings the bedbug nightmare right back. You did the right thing, covering the bed with a plastic shield. The few bedbugs you have left will be unable to feed. That is the key to get rid of all bedbugs permanently, to keep them from feeding, from molting, from laying eggs and most importantly from being able to survive. We do not chase and spread bedbugs but wait for them to come out and catch them before they can bite.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@ JS Shi_1/3_ Did you get bedbugs after a treatment? Putting encasements over the mattress and boxspring often chase bedbugs out of it while you are doing it. They go hide elsewhere in the room and wait for all that activity to come back. The encasements trap bedbugs inside and gives you temporary relief while you think that you are bedbug free.

[@rayarellano9351]

What would you suggest in my situation? I'm attending school, while doing so I'm staying with a relative. My "room" is in the basement. There's not much in there, there's a mattress I sleep on that's basically on the hard cement. Sounds horrible but I don't mind I go to the house sleep for a few hours then go to school and work so I'm rarely there. With what you said about keeping the sheets away from the floor and wall, since I just sleep on a mattress on the ground, I won't be able to use sheets right? Again I don't mind I won't be in the situation for long. I haven't watched the full video yet, but until we get an exterminator in, any advice on how not to get bit? I wear a big hoody with gloves and long socks and sweats to bed. That keeps me from getting bit in noticeable areas like my hands etc.

@__Ray Arellano__Attending school to get a better life and making sacrifices to get it is very commendable, I admire those who have the guts to do it. Students live on minimal means, trying to save as much money as possible because they do not have any or so little of. You accept conditions that could seem horrible to some but are not since it is very common and only a temporary situation. I have many people contacting me, searching for a solution for bedbugs while sleeping on a mattress directly on the floor. Some of them are very ingenious and fix their place to be really comfortable and even have style with a little bit of paint and decoration. Here is an example of a cozy mattress on the floor: julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/floor-bed-bedroom-ideas-latest-trends-20.jpg. There is no shame in doing the right thing using whatever means we can get. Going to a relative to have lodging while going to school is the smart thing to do. I know exactly what you are going through, my school drop-out 27 years old nephew getting only shitty jobs leading no-where went back to school without having the money to do so, hoping to make a better life for himself. He came to live with me free of charge while he attends his nine months course. In a few weeks from now, he will graduate as a heavy machimery operator. He will always have good work at a very good paying salary. He is dreaming of building a life with his girlfriend and finally be able to have a place of their own. Life is openeing up for him because just like you he did the same thing as you do, that's why I admire you. My nephewhas been an excellent companionin attitude and in deeds, I couldn't have wished for anybody better. There are many people such as my nephew and yourself doing what it takes and accepting conditions that others might find unacceptable because they do not have the motivation you have. Now, something unusual happened. Your relative seems to have bedbugs. If it was me, the first thing I would do is stay away from any blame of any kind. People do not have bedbugs because they like it, nobody does. Bedbugs can appear out of nowhere and we are stuck with them. We get bedbugs from someone else who also got them from someone else and so on. It is like catching a cold, we cannot blame the one we got our cold from, it is just something that happens in life. If we cannot blame to one who got stuck with bedbugs, what we can do is to take care of them, in the sense of getting rid of them. Since your living conditions are only temporary, I would do only the minimum, meaning that I would make sure I do not get bit by those blood-sucking parasite like you are trying to do. You already guessed some way to protect yourself. Bedbugs cannot feed on furry animals because their bodies are oblong and flat and they do not fit between strands of hair, so furry animals do not get bit by bedbugs. In the same way, you dress-up to go to sleep at night. Bedbugs have short stylet fascicule (the mouth parts they use to bite you and draw blood) and cannot bite through fabric or clothes. Since bedbugs can bite only on bare skin, all areas of your body protected by your big hoody, gloves, long socks and sweats to bed protect all these covered parts from bedbugs. Wearing a mask would protect you completely but it would be uncomfortable to sleep. There are proven ways to fight and defeat bedbugs and the best one is a bedbug shield. A shield is an impenetrable barrier that keeps bedbugs from being able to reach you and bite you. A bedbug shield is made of a large plastic sheet placed directly on the floor and underneath the mattress. Bedbugs obviously cannot walk through plastic and all we need to do is to keep the edges of the plastic high enough so that bedbugs cannot get to the top side of the plastic to stop them every single time. Picture this, a large sheet of plastic on the floor with the mattress sitting in the middle of it. The plastic sheet should be at least six inches to twelve inches larger and longer than the mattress, so that the bed sheets will be able to rest on the topside of the plastic without directly touching the ground. That way you can use the sheets and sleep comfortably without getting a single bedbug bite. To raise the edges of that plastic, you can use anything you want or that is convenient for you. In my video about a bedbug shield directly on the floor, I use drinking straws to raise the edges of the plastic. I use drinking straws because they are convenient, easy to get in any grocery store and you can get 150 straws for one dollar. But you can use anything else to raise the edges of the plastic, if you use something bedbugs can climb on (wood, cardboard, paper, masonery or whatever is convenient for you, it is the plastic overhang that will deter bedbugs from getting to the topside of the shield. It may sound funny and simplistic but it does the job. The edges have to be raised by only a quarter of an inch to deter bedbugs from being able to get to the upper side of the plastic. I use double-sided tape to hold the drinking straws in place, also about one quarter inch from the edge to make an hoverhang that bedbugs cannot get up onto. Drinking straws are very slippery for bedbugs and they cannot climb sideways on them. Moreover, even if the bedbugs could get on the straws, they would not be able to grip the underside of the plastic overhang and walk upside down on plastic. It is impossible for bedbugs to do that. The drinking straws make it impossible for bedbugs to walk up on them and it is even more impossible for bedbugs to walk upside down on plastic. Bedbugs simply cannot get to the topside of the plastic where you sleep and expect to sleep safely and soundly without a bite. Instead, bedbugs get to the underside of the plastic trying in vain to find a place where they could climb. Those bedbugs usually get squished under the plastic if you move or walk around. Stupid bedbugs, so easy to kill. I think I'm going to call this shield the Bedbug Squisher. And that's all you have to do be free of bedbugs and to sleep soundly without worrying about bedbugs. You could leave it like this and go about your life without having anything else to do. But now, again if I were you, I would show my generous relative what I did and how I discovered how to get rid of bedbugs. There are many more ways to eliminate bedbugs in a home. I have bedbug barriers that can clear out any room out of bedbugs. I have bedbug traps to catch them whenever they come out of hiding and of course I have the ultimate defense against bedbugs with the bednug shield. Show them what you did and tell them to look at the CO2 Bedbug Trap website at: julesnoise.com/ or the videos I have on line. Not for my sake or to get another viewer, I have over one million of them, but for their sake. If you do that, your stay at your relative's place will not only be good for yourself but it will also get them rid of the bedbug problem they could not do anything about except call and pay for an exterminator that would make you turn the place upside down and make you all live in poison for months. This knowledge will last you forever, and no matter where you go in life you will never be bothered by bedbugs again, able to eliminate them with such simple means. Sometime down the line you will pass it on to someone else who desperately need a shield and a trap to get rid of his bedbugs, and you will be there to help them. Knowledge is power and friendship is a powerful thing. With respect JulesNoise

@_JS Shi_2/2_A way to tell is the water is lukewarm is to feel it on your wrist and it should feel neither warm or cold. It is what mothers do to see if the milk for their babies is at body temperature. Fermentation works from 70F to 115F but is preferable at 100F which is the definition of lukewarm.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

Use talcum powder and brush the inside the plastic with it. It makes the plastic as slippery as ice for the bedbugs who have hooks to climb with. Something easy to climb on the outside and impossible to climb out of in the inside. The plastic has to be smooth and slippery.

[@jrmint2]

brilliant ideas! just brilliant!

[@philipcarpenter6718]

If there are too many bubbles this may be an indication that it is producing too much CO2 and your trap will stop producing it sooner. Try creating a premixture of water and yeast and allowing it to sit or, maybe you can use less yeast.

[@stargate4698]

Yes it does work, however you must use the food grade. Also the dust is somewhat a problem, but this stuff does work.

[@amberpayne8534]

I know this video is old but this is very helpful.. I will tell you now if you can make the traps make them but please turn your air off so they can find the trail!.. caulk everywhere in your home you have a crack I also used spray foam for bigger cracks.. nail hole or just a tiny tiny holes need attention be very thorough and check your caulking for cracks after it settles..... it takes weeks to caulk but it traps them with no way out! Caulk cracks in your bed if it’s wooden! Caulk your outlets.. I did after I put de in there. I know it’s crazy but caulk your ceiling! Ppl over look this it is very important so when you do get rid of them you have a very solid home.. also saves money on electric bill lol! Also put de in the receptors that you put on your bed legs if you can it will take a couple days but they will die!

[@lordwizkid]

the wooden what? where you get the tubing?

[@davidlanham99]

Damn, how many bedbugs do you have?

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__David Lanham__ Except for the dead ones I kept as a trophy, I do not have any bedbugs and did not have any for three years. My whole neighborhood is bedbug free and a very dangerous place for bedbugs. A better question would be how many bedbugs have I killed, and that would be a lot, probably in the millions by telling others how I did it. The bedbug is only an insect and once you know what are its strenghts and weaknesses, it become easy to get rid of it. Why do we have bedbugs? Because we feed them. Want to get rid of bedbugs, stop feeding them.

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

Bedbug’s stylet fascicule to pierce the skin and drink blood is not long enough to bite through the fur of cats or dogs. Typically, on humans they cannot bite through clothes and have to reach bare or exposed skin to bite. In addition, their flat body cannot negotiate through hair and we never get bit on our scalp. It also explains why some people get fewer bedbug bites than other even when sharing the same bed. Keep finding out the strengths and weaknesses of the bedbug and use it against them.

[@MefistOGamer2016]

Hi, B?ed bug traps look good but not everywhere applicable. I have bedbugs since 8 months and they bite as hell even after 7 treatments of professional companies. How can I protect myself if I can only sleep on the 20 centimeters high materace on the floor? I realy don't have an idea how to stop them :(

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

Hi TheMef666, Bedbug traps are applicable everywhere, it is only a matter of knowing how to do it and according to your specific situation. A bedbug shield is what you need to protect yourself and stop bedbugs from being able to bite you. Usually, the bedbug shield goes directly over the mattress and keeps bedbugs from being able to reach you. It is the same thing in the case of a low 20 cm mattress directly on the floor, it is the arrangement of the shield that has to be adapted to this specific need. In the case of a mattress directly on the floor, the shield goes directly on the floor with the mattress on top of it. • Find a large sheet of plastic the same size as the mattress but with an overlap of about six inches all around the mattress. Example, if the mattress measures 54”x75” (regular double-size mattress), the sheet of plastic should measure at least 66”x87”. Choose a heavy-duty or thick plastic that will resist wear and tear as you will be walking on it. The best are inexpensive smooth shower curtains taped together and cut to the size you need. To use this plastic sheet as a bedbug shield, all you have to do is to raise the edges of the six inch overlap so that bedbugs will not be able to get to the top of the plastic, but will crawl underneath it instead. Bedbugs going under the plastic will not be able to reach you, unable to get through the plastic and unable to get to the topside of the plastic. No bedbug will be able to reach and bite you with that plastic with its raised edges off the floor. • To raise the edges of the plastic, you can use anything that is handy for you, but I recommend using plastic drinking straws fixed about ¼” inside and under the edge of the plastic and held with double-sided tape. Here is an example of such a bedbug shield for a mattress directly on the floor: The Bedbug Shield Mattress on the floor Bedbugs will go under the plastic shield and will get squished when you sleep on the mattress. Bedbugs that will not get squished will not be able to feed and will die of starvation. To catch other bedbugs which might be in the room, use the CO2 bedbug traps that will lure bedbugs into small glass pitfalls from which bedbugs cannot go out of. Making a CO2 Bedbug Trap with Plastic Containers and Easiest and Fastest Bedbug Trap ever There is more information about bedbugs and the CO2Bedbug Trap at: julesnoise.com/. Now we must take care of the mattress itself. Make your own mattress encasement with two contour sheets, one on each side of the mattress and seal the two together with duct tape. This mattress encasement will entomb any bedbug that might be in the mattress and those bedbugs will not be able to feed either and will also die of starvation within weeks. To be safe leave the shield and the homemade mattress encasement on for at least three months or more. This will stop all the bedbug bites at once and will eliminate all the bedbugs you have, making you permanently bedbug-free. No idea how to stop bedbugs? Now you do. The bedbug shield and the CO2 bedbug traps eliminate bedbugs everywhere someone make the shield and the traps. It is the most efficient and the most reliable bedbug trap in the world. JulesNoise

[@MefistOGamer2016]

JnSavedByTheBell Thanks for the most useful replay ever :) But what about bed bugs which jump from the ceiling? About CO2 trap, is there a different if I'll use this kind of yeasts: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Compressed_fresh_yeast_-_1.jpg Or I need dry instant ones?

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

TheMef666 ___It is true that some bedbugs use the ceiling to get to you when you are sleeping at night, but only a very few of them. Bedbugs always stay as close as possible to the source of their food, 99% of all bedbugs are mostly in the bed and within 5-10 feet from the bed and use the floor and the legs of the bed to get to their blood meal. Bedbugs dropping from the ceiling are bedbugs which have fled from the bed harborage and went to hide away from the aggressive male bedbugs. A bedbug from the ceiling might bite once and get off its victim to go to the floor as soon as they are done feeding. They do not go right back up to the ceiling once it is done. Those bedbugs then join all the other bedbugs stuck under the shield or get caught by the traps. Bedbugs dropping from the ceiling can be neutralized with a band of scotch tape brushed with talcum powder. Bedbugs are natural climbers and we can make them lose their grip when they climb up vertically or upside down by placing a smooth and slippery surface in their path. On the walls and on the ceiling, a band of common scotch tape covered with a thin coat of talcum powder is all it takes to make a barrier that bedbugs cannot cross. Once bedbugs try to hang on to the scotch tape, they lose their grip, they slip, they slide and they fall to the floor where the bedbug traps are. Scotch tape covered with talcum powder make amazing bedbug barriers, no bedbug can get across them. On the ceiling and outside the size of your shield, make a rectangle with this talcum powered scotch tape and bedbugs will fall down before they get above the bed. The same thing can be done by placing the scotch tape above the baseboards to keep bedbugs from being able to climb up on the walls. Those bedbug barriers can also be used on the legs of the bed and furniture to keep them out and down on the floor where they will be caught by the traps. Bedbug barriers, a roll of scotch tape and a small bottle of baby powder, that’s all it take to keep bedbugs off the walls and the ceiling, as well as off the furniture and your belongings. Bedbug barriers for less than two dollars. The yeast that you are proposing to use might be just as good as dry yeast sold in 7 grams envelopes as long as it produces bubbles containing the CO2 needed to attract bedbugs. Being in a solid block, it might be more difficult or take longer to mix it with the sugar and the water. It is best is to make some tests, making a first mixture to see the results. Keep going, you are on the right track. This is the learning part and as soon as you will make your set up works, your bedbugs will not be able to move around so freely and the shield and the traps will eliminate them when they get hungry. You see, we use hunger against bedbugs and they can’t resist it. By trying to feed on our blood, bedbugs eliminate themselves while you sleep without a bite. JulesNoise

Also tried to prepare traps but it seems that mixture is not correct since when tested in water, there are no bubbles coming out :( Can you maybe post some photos how it should look when prepared correctly? I mean sugar with yeast in bootle? Mine doesn't make to much of a foam when reacting in bootle, maybe wrong proportions. Also I'm interested in how bugs will behave without food, will they spread around the flat and hide in our belongings? And will they try to feed while we are in the apartment during day time? Thanks for reply in advance.

JnSavedByTheBell Hello.. unfort. Iwas bitten a few nights ago... they are here...My mattress is encased and so is my boxspring...I have lifted the mattress and dont see any.. have no headboard or wooden parts to the bed..yet I am bitten..I am trying to get a professional to start..in the meanime..what can I do..I already washed 6 loads of laundry in hot water, added an Enzyme KLEEN that kills them ? and dired on hot. I threw out the bedding that was on the bed..I thought it was to dark colored for me to see if it was clean...I soaked in a bath of KLEEN and I have no current bites...just the itch from the ones that did bitre..but i want to try and prevent them from spreading.. what can I spray on myself to keep them away or kill them? I belevie I got them from a nambulance ride.that gave me a pillow sheet and blanket...they transport all day.who knows if they clean...

[@DukeNafets]

Cool. Thank you for your quick respond. I'll try it out. We want to move into an apartment, where bedbugs have been before. It's empty now. If your test works, I can find out out, if they are still around. If yes, we won't move :)

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@ ErikPaulsonFan __ Good insight. Yes there is a possibility that bedbugs use the tubing to come out of the bowl, but only if the tubing touches the bottom of the bowl. I the inside of the bowl is brushed with talcum powder, bedbugs will not be able to climb on its sides and even if the tubing touches the sides of the bowl, bedbugs will not be able to reach it and use it that way. An additional precaution would be to brush the tubing with talcum powder too. Think of all the ways to stop bedbugs.

[@STONRUNNIT]

(once captured) why is it that the bed bugs dont simply climb out of the cup and and run free?.. is it the baby powder at the bottom of the cup? What secures the bugs from not climbing out??

[@JnSavedByTheBell]

@__STONRUNNIT__Bedbugs are natural climbers and have filament pincer hooks at the end of their legs, They can easily climb on wood, paper fabric, tissue or any other rough or fibrous surface. Bedbugs can also climb on some smooth surface like soft plastic. But they have a hard time to climb up on smooth and hard surfaces like glass, porcelain, ceramincs and most polished metals. The container in which we want to make the bedbugs fall into must be made with one of those materials so that bedbugs will not be able to climb out. So to make them able to climb up into the pitfall from the outside, we wrap , fix or glue some fabric or paper to the exterior of the pitfall. Easy to get in, impossible to get out. But to make most smooth surface totally impossible for bedbugs to climb on, simply brush those surfaces with talcum powder. It makes smooth surfaces like plastic too slippery for bedbugs to get a grip and they keep slipping and sliding and always fall back at the botoom.

[@carlhw]

Is it OK if the plastic bed covering/protector touches the floor? I know the bed sheet or blankets should NOT, but how about the plastic sheet protector touching the floor? This would be much easier for me and would provide a good extra CO2 tent for the CO2 traps.
