All this and they still wont go away😂😂😂.. I remember we would say "sleep tight,dont let the bed bugs bite... Not knowing they were actually real 😂😂😂

[@Noobalator]

There's no way you're killing them without a residue spray/heat treatment. You're not going to smell the odor without it being a pretty large infestation. You want to dry your items before ever putting them into a washer. fogging will push them further into their hiding spots.

[@shellyblanchard5788]

The way I do it is fill the washer with hot water and put the infested clothes in the hot water, they will float to the top. It will do the job because if fill it while the clothes are in there the bugs will try and escape. It doesn'T have to be boiling hot water , just hot.

[@chosenfallen2024]

The only good bug, is a dead bug. Would you like to know more?

[@mr.wizard2974]

You can spray with a 92% solution of alcohol ! The alcohol dries those little boogers out. When you spray the mattress cover it with a quilt or it will evaporate!

The ORTHO spray kills the hell out of them. The Hot Shot spray also works. People claim it dont work because it often doesn't kill instantly. Give it a hour and they will be dead. Bed bugs are fast movers and if you see them still moving after a few mins that doesnt mean the spray didn't work. If they can't run away lighting fast then the spray is in fact killing them. They may have some leg movements a hour later but they essentially paralyzed and in the process of dying. So dont think it didnt work because they aren't instantly dead a second after you spray. Also dont think the spray didnt work because some of them have slight leg movements a hour later. If they cant run from you, they are dying. Buy the big jug with the electric sprayer. SOAK you bed frame real good. Spray in the cracks where your wooden headboard bolts together. SOAK the sides of your mattress, box springs. SOAK the BOTTOM of your mattress. SOAK the top, sides, and bottom of box springs. Dont soak anything you make contact with when you lay down. It won't hurt anything to give it a good soaking. Give it a hour or two and those bastards will be dead. Wait for it to dry and then put your mattress box spring in one of those bed bug covers.

Do not use foggers for bed bugs please.

[@PestRemovalWarrior]

Bed bugs are serious problem. Thanks for this useful info

[@streetliving]

Use 90% or higher rubbing alcohol.

[@shellyblanchard5788]

You can use Harris's powder to. They hide the seams of the bed, railings and places you can't imagine. They love to hide clothes seam , and in seams, hide in and under the rounds. They leave the black spots on bedding. They come during the day also, not just at night. If you turn the lights off and wait about 15 minutes that is when to spray them real good.Unless you are kind of still and you feel like something is crawling on your arm it is probably them. They give off a distinct odor when you kill them between your fingers. If blood comes out it means they have already been feeding.

[@leosrule5691]

I can't believe that guy was touching them!! ICK.

[@paulviola4921]

I work for pest control, and we specialize in extreme treatments. Bed bugs are no joke, it takes real experience and a know how of what to apply to rid of them. Heat has no residual, foggers only make the situation worse with the infestation, and while doing laundry and vacuuming helps, there still needs to be a science to the chemicals you are using in combination for each treatment. Over the counter will not help much.

[@markus-ub5yf]

Someone needs to inform Home Depot. That one of the Worst things you can do in dealing with bed bugs, is to set off a fogger. Most bed bugs stay within 6 feet of their food source (you). It's much easier to deal with them when they are in close quarters. Fog gets spread and run them all over the home where they can live, breed and hide for months. What a reckless advertising job they have done.

*Watches this video* *Goes to Lowe's*

[@kazamamuramasa8201]

Every one need to this especially during the holidays, with everyone traveling. 😲

[@chocolateearrings]

The typenof life hack i want in my recommended.

[@TomPatricks]

Don't buy these poisons and garbage. Bed bugs are easy to deal with. There is no need for expensive equipment. Raising the interior of your home to 140 degrees will cook all bed bugs alive. Or if this is too expensive, a thorough cleaning for three weeks will eliminate the pests.

[@FernGully37]

Anyone watching this do not I repeat do not ever in your life use this product on bedbugs you will make it worse trust me I spotted 1 million mistakes this video made. The bedbug fogger will repair all the activities that it doesn't kill if that happens the bedbugs will go deeper into harborage and what about the cracks and crevice is you're not going to treat that you're just gonna fog a room? Wow at fist this video was actually informative until they introduced the products

[@kenyapope952]

Good ideas.I'll try them.I learn somethings.

[@FernGully37]

Yea that fogger will just make it worse

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

If is a no attached house do the heater

[@YoungPlumb330]

[@cs8940]
