This video was so needed. Thank you

[@GreenAkersPC]

Share it :) lol

[@Justme77400]

This is comforting. I’ve been waking up with a few bites lately and am stressing, having trouble sleeping.

[@boonthegoon2384]

I had/ have bed bugs and my pets have been scratching a lot so I thought the bed bugs were living on them (I’ve seen different answers to this online) as I saw a small black bug on one of my cats, but after this video I think that it’s just fleas as well. Thank you!!

[@sunshine3914]

I was 💯 convinced I had bed bugs a couple years ago. Went to extremes, spraying & tossing everything. Never found any indication of any other than new bites would appear in the morning for over a period of 3 days. Turns out it was what I had suspected from the very first: chiggers. I remember getting chiggers as a child, but for some reason I had been under the impression that they get on you, bite once & die.

[@vickicarnes6860]

I'd be on the safe side and order crossfire and mix it in a garden sprayer that stuff works great!!

[@jenniferlego4221]

Thank you for bringing this up.

[@GreenAkersPC]

11 Months subbed wow... sorry I just learned how to see that lol Thank You!

[@ttogttoghage2038]

I had the exterminator in and the team found fleas and not bedbugs. @Jason, many thanks for the videos. They are really helpful. When you can, please can you talk about things that need to be taken care of before and after treatment for different pests, like vacuuming/mopping whole floor, near baseboards or not. Not all exterminators are always into as much details as you.

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

I would default to fleas in the first place, before I considered bed bugs, mainly for the fact I have cats. You don’t need to have a pet to bring in fleas, though. Your neighbor could have a flea infested yard, and fleas will hitch a ride on you also. Another insect people don’t think about that can bite you are bird mites. If you have a habit of feeding birds, or if they have made a nest in or near a window, bird mites can find their way inside to feed on you. That poor family got a scabies whammy from that dead rat, also possums and raccoons can carry a lot of parasites, along with squirrels and bats, and this is why it’s best to keep them out of your house and attics/basements. Starving insects aren’t too particular about where their next meal comes from.

[@lauracatherinemiller2946]

Thank you for the confirmation. Your customers story sounds almost identical to mine. I ended up going to dermatologist and was told I had scabies. But I took have no partner...ahhh must be the the trash pandas that have made their way into the space over the bonus room and attic by ripping thru the walls. But after treating my body I still was seeing the tiny black "pepper" bugs everywhere and you can't see scabies. Some are bigger than others and some really hurt when they bite while some you can't really feel.From everything I've researched they seem to be 2 different kinds of mites. Bird and rodent mites. I find them stuck to me everyday. The rodent mites are worse and sometimes get stuck in my skin almost like a tick. Both of these tiny mites have been almost impossible to get rid of. I have removed any bird or squirrel nest I could find, tried dimenteous earth, constant vacuuming, various pesticides, and they just won't die. Occasionally I get a few days of minimal activity or I might only see a few or get bit once, but then on the 4th day they are back and it's like a flood of them. Ive had to throw all my furniture and clothes out. Washing and drying them on high heat didn't kill them nor did boiling them or steaming them and nuking in microwave. Any suggestions on what to use for bird and rodent mites? An arcarcide/miticide? An IGR? I have no animals or young children so it can be as potent as need be. Please help!!!

Thanks man you helped me a lot… it a big problem here in Philadelphia… I don’t take the bus or public transportation anymore but I know people who have got them from the train… including me in the past… I solved that problem and had a few scares over the years but it was usually something else… once I was living on my own.. but recently I gave a friend a ride and two days later I started getting bit… there was also a fire next door that had me scared they where in the walls.. I inspected my bed… treated with cross fire the whole nine… and yes they fall easily cuz that’s how I confirmed. Anyway I isolated my problem to my bed by only sleeping there and treating everything else with de and cross fire… I only got bit at nite on my bed a few days after I would wash and install a mattress cover… come to find out they were finding there way out… lesson learned.. removed cheap covers bought bed bug rated version treated bare matter with cross fire… washed everything…. And haven’t looked back since … finally healing up after being bait lol

[@wendi2819]

Been dealing with this too for over a year. Can't find any evidence of BB. I get long lines of scratches and not in places that are easy to reach either. On my back ankles covered places on arms. ( I have heard some varmint in walls, ceiling). My attic is really hard to get to. Ugh! Another pest control bill for me. Thanks Jason!

[@jenniferallison8217]

Hi - did you find out what was biting you ? I get line looking scratch marks all over and just appear and start itching .

[@Jack-nj9pi]

Litterally going through this right now. Cant find any evidence of bed bugs bit stoll wake up with a bit or two aft like an initial 7

[@snipperprincess1109]

Call a exterminator i kept going no don't have them then found one in my bathroom of all places exterminator can't find them either so going through the whole 3 spray process

[@GreenAkersPC]

A bedbug dog can sometimes find bedbugs were a person cannot

[@larryc1616]

My family is being bitten at night but we can't find any bugs or their droppings to identify them. Is there a trap to identify which insect we have? Bites are around the waist/abdomen and inner upper arms mostly

[@daddy69yearsago77]

If I'm trying to get rid of bed bugs should I get rid of all my cloths because I found some in my closet witch were on my cloths?

[@GreenAkersPC]

Just wash your clothes

[@sunnymagnuson1809]

You are correct Jason I don’t have bed bugs its carpet beetles ty so much.

[@purplebutterfly1168]

My neighbor had scabies just recently. She said she might have touched something that had them at work

[@Loaffijournaling]

oh jason pls tell me how can i kill batbug ?it is my rent house...i used twice crossfire

[@TheHillbillysWaifu]

Best way to tell between scabies and bed bugs, is bed bugs like biting easy to reach areas on exposed skin. Scabies like to hide in warm spots i.e. Armpits, between the fingers/toes, groin, etc. and are transmitted to different areas on the body (or person to person) via scratching/skin abrasions. Scabies will live on your body right underneath the top layer of skin and burrow thru your skin. Pets, sharing bedding, towels, and aforementioned adult activities are the most common ways they spread around. However scabies are wayyy easier to treat than a BB infestation, even tho scabies cause insane amounts of itching and physical distress.

[@kimd4060]

Thank you for a great video I am in a nightmare I have a bat issue and previously were pigeons on the building as well but I am not the homeowner so I’m screwed by whatever they carry this building has more protection for wild animals than humans and in USA this is not ok slumlords shouldn’t be allowed period but great video and many other very good videos I have watched thank you

[@j21589m]

Yikes.

[@sunnymagnuson1809]

By trade im a hairdresser i know I don’t have lice. Im thinking I don’t have bed bugs there is no blood stains anywhere.

[@vickicarnes6860]

I know someone who got scabies from their dog!!

[@KirstenMarie_MS3]

That's because scabies and sarcoptic mange are caused by the same ectoparasite: Sarcoptes scabiei mite. There are many different species that all have different definitive hosts. And you don't have to have sex to pass them on. They're common among people who live in overcrowded spaces.

[@rxed333]

Recomend something similar with crossfire in Europe please!

[@GreenAkersPC]

Crossfire is from the neonic family of pesticides which have been outlawed in Europe because of their toxicity to honey bees. Even though crossfire is used inside only and won’t be exposed to honey bees, the government doesn’t see the difference
