Thanks for addressing this topic, Dr. Dray. I brought home bedbugs once years ago after a trip to NYC, and it took months to completely get rid of them, even with professional extermination. It really was a nightmare. I have very sensitive skin and the bites were insufferably itchy. I also experienced disrupted sleep due to an intense psychological aversion - just the idea of laying down to sleep when I knew these little @#&^* were gonna come out and feed on me in the night? 1000x yuck. Very disturbing. My sympathies to anyone going through this.

Bed bugs do stay on people. I work at a healthcare organization. Any patients that have bedbugs must shower here early in the morning before their appointments in the clinic. The CNAs are always talking about bedbugs falling off people. We have also had people with bedbugs on them. Just crawling around on their sweater. Be very careful who you hug.

It’s been 7 yrs that we had bedbugs my son stayed over a friends and brought them home. We noticed because my daughters room next to my sons room and she was getting bit. Their beds are on opposite of a wall. It took us 6 months to get rid of them we tried EVERYTHING!!! I bought everything Amazon had to offer for it. We lived out of storage bins cleaned everyday!! We ended up hiring a exterminator and within 2 weeks they were gone!!! Wish I had done that first. Til this day my life hasn’t been the same it took a real mental toll on us. I do weekly bed checks and till this day we use all white bed covers. I also have all mattresses and pillows in Cases with zippers. I’m traumatized still and it’s been 7 years.

[@luciakijne]

We had a very similar situation with fleas. Absolute nightmare, and actually traumatic

[@user-xy3sq1qw1i]

What type of insecticide the exterminator use? heat or chemicals? There is something new today called Aprehend! Other companies use Cimi -Shield.

[@nena00naja]

@@user-xy3sq1qw1i i honestly do not know it was a powder I do know that. Not sure of the name. Thank the heavens they have not returned and they were gone entirely in 6 weeks with the exterminator coming out every 10 days. And of course we lived out of plastic see thru containers the entire time. I packed my entire house as if we were moving! Heating Every clothing and steaming everything! I still have nightmares till this day!

I've seen luggage racks infested too, Dr. Dray. The safest is putting your luggage in the bathtub and check the luggage rack thoroughly before using it.

[@Novemberrain111]

But bathtubs are germy from other hotel visitors and roaches like to hang around a wet tub and drain. 😮

[@nibabi]

I thoroughly inspect the luggage rack and spray it down with Lysol. Alcohol is good too. I spray my luggage too especially if I’ve flown or had to use a bellhop.

[@M.I.A105]

Please use hard shell cased luggage

[@joanndaprile9076]

Anything with metal legs is good to use bc they can't climb up the metal easily. A desk or table works well. And be sure to keep your suitcase closed and not leaning on the wall. I've read putting your suitcase in a large white plastic bag and sealing it helps keep them from hitching a ride home with you too. I have been bitten in hotels a few times, but I react pretty severely to them. Used to travel for work but thankfully no longer do that. I hate those things.

[@anniezion]

I never put my clothes in the hotel wardrobe, I just keep them in the suitcase. When home, I put the suitecase either outside or in a plastic sac until next travel. There are bugs even in fancy hotels these days..

This video is THE BEST bed bug video on KZbin!!! It is so informative and in-depth it leaves no questions.

[@highaloft]

Almost 15 years ago picked up bedbugs from a nice, modern hotel in Paris, gave them a free ride to New York. I didn't hire an exterminator, but my methods were only feasible bec i was unemployed at the time (so had time on my hands). The welts were the MOST horrible, hellishly itchy ones i've ever gotten from an insect-each one would turn into a large blister, and i had to wear icebags taped to them just to numb the itching and sleep at night. Tips that worked for me: -Made a "moat" of double-sided tape all around the edge of my bed, basically sleeping *inside* a protective boundary of it. (Luckily it was summer, i could sleep without extra duvets and sheets.) I would find bedbugs stuck to the tape upon awaking; -As another comment said: Diatomaceous earth! Just the regular kind (there's one specifically for aquariums that you DON'T want). Sprinkle that around your bed posts, near any crevices of furniture, anywhere you think a bedbug might pass. Be careful if you or someone with you had asthma - it's basically chalk dust, can be irritating to breathe, though not poisonous. It cuts into the bedbugs' exoskeleton, which suffocates them. So it's a non-chemical strategy, they won't become immune to it. - laundry laundry laundry. Clean laundry i kept in plastic garbage bags and hung off the floor wherever i could. Finally stopped noticing any bites. Continued using the methods for about 3 weeks at least. (Another thing to note: Bedbugs are so tiny but crawl SOOO fast relative to size. So if you think you're gonna "catch" them in the act once you flip on the lights, well don't count on it- they'll be halfway across the bed in a second.)

[@kimmiec.peridore886]

Thank you, Dr. Dray!❤ Great educational advice for everyone!

[@TheSMZ2009]

The best video about bed bugs on KZbin. So informative. Thank you, Dr. Dray.

[@bradleywoodie9219]

When Dr. Dray starts talking about Bed Bugs, you know we’ve got a global problem brewing. I had a bed bug scare once. It was awful.

[@bertiecurlynoodie]

You can steam or iron your mattress, carpet and furniture before calling the exterminator and save some money, as well as exposure to chemicals. We treated a flea infestation at a rental we moved into with this method, it kills the eggs as well as the bugs.

[@Lilah1754]

Beds bugs (ugh) are something I dread. Thanks for info.

[@janetgulden-nz1gm]

I just got back from 2 weeks in France. In each hotel I put my suitcase in the bathroom until I could inspect the room. European hotel rooms are so small it was hard to find a place to even open my suitcase on the luggage rack. My suitcase is still in my garage. Thanks for the tip about using a garment steamer on your suitcase!

[@marylawman8603]

I feel very fortunate to never having to deal with bed bugs but I know several people that have. A nightmare for sure and very expensive. One friend with an infant had to throw pretty much all of the baby's things away included crib mattress, stuffed toys, bedding clothes etc. Cost her a fortune. Thanks for addressing this very common problem. Happy Monday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a blessed evening. 💙

They are absolutely awful. Watching this is causing me panic. And you absolutely feel them crawling on you. It took almost a year for us to get rid of them.

[@ericaerica8031]

We dealt with bedbugs about 14 years ago when our building in NYC became infested. We had numerous exterminations, disinfected everything we owned and stored it all in tightly sealed plastic bags for over a year. We moved and brought in inspectors, and remained diligent. Luckily, I got hives every time I got bitten- a blessing and a curse!

[@ceelee126]

"They'll be waitin' for ya" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@natasha83196]

Bed bugs absolutely can be transmitted with people. My daughter invited some local kids to play in the basketball court in her apartment complex. They stored their backpacks in her apartment while they played. Shortly thereafter the welts started to appear. She’d be bit, then nothing for 2 weeks, then bites again. We had an exterminator come out TWICE to inspect her bed and they saw nothing. After a couple of months, I told her to just buy a new bed. She never had welts again.

[@GreenEyes73]

I moved into a new apt in July and 3 weeks later I saw bites. That night I woke up and saw them. I don't know if they were already here or if I got them from the moving truck. It took 2 exterminatations over a 6-week period. HUGE PITA. I couldn't sleep much. I'd wake up and see them on the bed. I was killing 2-5 a night, mostly babies, a few adults. It's been 6 1/2 weeks since the 2nd extermination. I still check every time I wake up and every morning. I had to keep all my clothes and linens in garbage bags for 7 weeks. I sympathize with anyone who has dealt with them.

Thank you is was helpful information.

[@annikaslabaugh1602]

I am currently dealing with something similar. I just moved into my apartment almost a week ago and I have a set of bites on my wrist and on the back of my leg. My roommate has them too. It's so frustrating! I moved because I needed lower rent since I just got a new car and have to make payments. I also cannot work more hours because I am a full-time student. I am really struggling because I am in the middle of summer finals. I do not have time to reclean all of my clothes, nor do I have the funds for a new mattress:(

[@jingle418]

Lol yes you’ve made me itch!! Although you say these things don’t represent uncleanliness, I just have a hard time thinking otherwise. Why does anything like this have to exist and ruin all my hotel stays?? I’m so paranoid about bedbugs !!! Ugh. Does this stop me from traveling - no!!

[@deborah972]

Dr dray thanks so much for this video 😊 xx

[@nikkilovesrocks]

Happy Monday! Diatomaceous Earth is the best prevention and treatment! It takes all the oder away as well! Found at a local feed store & it's cheap. Get your vacuum ready though cause what you put down you'll want to suck up after 2-3 days. Alcohol 91% is helpful but flammable. Garlic doesn't work but eating garlic can prevent bites cause bed bugs don't like garlicy blood😂

[@lonewolf277]

That's cause they are Vampire cockroaches!!!🥵👹👹👹👹

[@Denise-dv3ps]

Yes this is true! Diotomaceous Earth dehydrates & shreds them but you still have to wash everything in hot water & dry on high & wrap your mattress & box springs in plastic

[@ajengyf]

[@julia393n]

I am from Australia, and had never seen a bed bug before, until I stayed at a London hotel. I saw this strange insect walking on the bed, and flicked it off without too much thought - the lights were still on and I'd not even gone to bed as yet. The next morning I had marks on my wrists, and then realised what that bug was. Thankfully, I did not bring it back home with me. Hope to never see one again.

[@ChristopherMichael180]

Idk if the same protocols help with bed bugs, but I’m super sensitive to dust mite waste and debris so I use an AllerEase mattress encasement and matching pillow encasements. I’ve also made it a habit to wash my bedding at least once per week on the steam/anti-allergen cycle and I try to vacuum at least twice a week. At least with dust mites they’re so small we can’t see them. Bed bugs would absolutely end me. So much sympathy for people struggling to manage their bed bug levels.

Hi Dr. Dray! It'd be good if you reviewed Theramid skin care. It looks amazing!

[@shimmerbay]

As a child growing up in the 1960s, my dad would come in my room to say goodnight and he would always say, “Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite”. We had no idea that these bugs had actually existed. No one had them since DDT had killed them all.

[@lonewolf277]

IKR! I hate when someone says that now!!

[@mjef3695]

People pay very close attention to purchases of used furniture. Especially, sofas,chairs, and pillows. Some thrift stores use bedbug sniffing dogs. Just watch your purchases. Even delivery trucks can transport. It’s a bed buggy world out there.

[@bonappetit5906]

We had a bed bug outbreak in my building once, it was a nightmare!!!! I don't wish it on any one.

[@ispyamoose]

I had bedbugs in 2012 and I think we had a pretty bad case, because the ones in my room would often come out as early as 10pm if I was in bed early enough. I killed so many, idk if I have an allergy or not because I *would* feel them, and then pull my covers back and find one before it scurried away. There were so many times I would see them but it would be too late as they'd scurried back to their hangout. Something else to note about bedbug bites is that the welts are often not perfectly round. Most of mine were in weird shapes. I used to work at Kohls and I found one in my sock once! So annoying. Our landlord was terrible and tried several rounds of "bomb" trapping to get rid of them but they didn't work. It took contacting the city health inspector for the landlord to bring in someone from Orkin, and they even had to come 3 times. It was intense.

[@danadelaplante6797]

That is so awful. They are in my opinion the worst pest. So fast and sneaky and leave a mess (poop)! Hope you never experience this ever ever again.

[@juliabinford6500]

I listened all the way to the end despite reliving the horror of a bed bug infestation after my husband traveled for business. It was mild, and required only one round of professional extermination. My overly sensitive skin was a good thing, since it saved us from letting it go too long. Nobody but me ever had a welt. I even had them on my face😩

I thought, I might have them a couple weeks ago. Had several bites on my right heel and a rash right over that for 2 days. The bites just kept on itching for well over a week. I almost scratched myself bloody, because the itching would be so intense during the nights. Never had mosquito bites that bad, but that's what it must have been. Or at least I didn't have any new bites in almost 3 weeks. So grateful. I live in a shared flat and my large room is stuffed to the nines with my stuff. Getting everything out, washing and drying everything and having the room professionally treated, would have been a nightmare.

[@SjofnBM1989]

Could have been chigger bites they get really itchy and they're usually on your legs and feet.

They were in the baseboards, the wallpaper, the carpet, the furniture, mattress, picture frames and she had to throw out everything and the treatment took months.

Thank you so much for this important information! My two sons shared a really nice apartment while they were in college and my older son discovered his bites on his legs and then found the bedbugs. Yes, the apartment complex which was a very nice clean place paid for the exterminator but he threw out his bed, locker which was filled with old high school yearbooks and other favorites, furniture in his room,his couch etc. sure wish we would have had the name of Diatomaceous Earth back 10 years ago. The older son was getting his masters and the younger son just started medical school. So they weren’t young kids just starting school. It was very upsetting and expensive.

[@nicky2011]

Thank you so much for this video! It was very helpful! I noticed bites on me but not my husband. I thought maybe it was a spider we live in a garden apartment. Sure enough last night I was looking on my sheets because I was fixing them and I saw one walking across my sheet my husband saw it too. He thought I was crazy and I know this sounds crazy but I grabbed and squeezed it and blood came out most likely mine!! I couldn't sleep 😢 turns out the people above us have them and just told the landlord. The whole building has to be exterminated. And the worst of it is they've had them for a long time!!

Bedbugs, fleas, and lice, along with worms arw my worst fear! Especially having children. I am a freak about cleaning our mattress and headboards and under beds all the time. Every time we move into a new house (military), I worry about bugs being in a uhaul and hotels. Life is exhausting.

[@gabieh6670]

I I found they will hide in seams of clothes. I recommend the light colored clothing and furniture to make them more visible. I also recommend using a good vacuum with a good hose to get in crevices. Since you invade the crevices, you remove whole nests, including eggs. Treat crevices with essential oils to kill what was not removed. Repeat until you see less and less bedbugs. Whenever you see no more (and you WILL SEE MORE IF YOU FAILED TO REMOVE NESTS/COTENTS) continue cleaning every week--even if you have no more occasions. It does and has worked for me. Without costly removal of furnishings oof clothes. Also nobody has to know you defeated them.

This has been the most spooky video of this Halloween 😅, these look scarier than vampires

[@sarahrushton8154]

This video is making me itchy 😂

[@Pamela-B]

This is why I don’t order upholstered furniture from Amazon or online. Too many stories of bed bug infested furniture being sold online.

OH Great ! Been going thru menopause since I was 21 and wake up drenched in sweat😢😢😮😮

Nothing scares nurses more than bedbugs 😂😂

With lice not far behind.

I live in Barcelona and this city has a huge problem with bed bugs infestation. Most people I know had them at least once- including me 😢. They don't work on schedule lol like you said between 2-5am. They actually detect the level of carbon-dioxide that people exhale when they are in the REM phase of sleep (and for most people it's between 2-5). Another way to detect them is to exhale strongly into your mattress, a pillow, and you'll see them coming out (even during the day). Gross ugh... Washing or drying on the 90° for at least 30 minutes will kill them and for beds you can use steamer. Diatomaceous earth is good mechanical killer as it scratches their shields and literally dehydrates them to death. Another option is buying a mattress envelopes and enclose them until they suffocate to death. Usually, and depending on how big the infestation is, you'll need to combine ALL of the methods above along with the proffesonal exterminators! (Everything I said above is not just my personal experience and of many people around me, but also my brother is a vet that actually worked in government bodies for sanitary inspection and pest control)

[@caveman3021]

You are right they will adjust to your schedule. Ive worked nights for years and sleep during the day, and the little monsters knew where and when to find me. Like you say, carbon dioxide and heat attracts them🙄

[@kristfur]

Truck Drivers fumigate with Chlorine Dioxide to disinfect their cabs. CLO2 gas will kill bed bugs.

[@cleosdoc]

Omg this is very anxiety inducing!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@LavenderCross75]

Oh my gosh. Did you see the bed bug infestation in Paris, France recently

[@tatianaschoenfield9819]

I stayed in a hotel and no signs of insects in room. Next morning I saw red blood type dots on sheet near my feet. I didn’t have a wound or sting. Strange but didn’t think anything of it. The following night I woke up because I felt something crawling over my face! I removed and squished it. Turned on the light and saw reddish orange squish of insect on my fingers. I figured these must be bedbugs. I took pictures. Fortunately, I was so tired I slept but with lights on. Next morning I took pictures to hotel manager and they moved me right away to a suite and I got to stay free until the end of stay. I checked the suite with a flashlight in the mattress crevices but it was all ok. My suitcase was not on the floor and I made sure it was closed to avoid bringing them home. My shoes were totally cleaned in the garage to avoid contamination in my home. Of course all my clothes were washed that I had on my trip.

My mother in law worked at a casino and brought them home with her. They spread so fast and it literally driving us all insane. They’re so hard to get rid of once you have an infestation. There was a woman who self-terminated or UN-liffed herself because she couldn’t get rid of them even after moving, that’s how bad it gets, it’s so itchy. The only way to get rid of them is to get an exterminator who uses heat pumps that pumps super hot air into you home. If an exterminator says he can get rid of them by spraying, he’s lying, and trying to rip you off, bed bugs are immune to all of the sprays exterminators use. Diatomaceous earth can also help but you’re not likely to get rid of them all with that method and a new infestation could start.

[@hardshell9236]

I used a bed bug powder, it helped to get rid of them

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

@@hardshell9236 That’s the “diatomaceous earth” I mentioned in my previous comment, it’s a white powder. It’s works sometimes for smaller infestations, but for a major infestation or an infestation in a hoarder house where there’s so many places for bugs to hide, it’s not enough.

[@cozycatcorner7724]

I live in an apartment complex and they're rampant. Luckily our property manager has pest control routinely here for both bed bug treatments and other pests, they come in and put gel behind the stove and refrigerator every 3 months.

After watching this I will spend the rest of my life sleeping on a anti microbial recliner or be tied to a post while I sleep! 😂👍🏻🤠

[@cressidaaaaa]

This is why I don’t thift shop especially for furniture

[@AFluidRealiTea]

When we had BBs, I bought a Thermal Strike heater box for luggage or any possessions that couldn't go into a clothing dryer. I have finally (FINALLY!) gotten comfortable with thriftin again. I put porous or textile items in there to "bake", like books or even including clothing before I run through the regular wash. Non-porous items (like a ceramic dish or metal candlestick) I simply inspect and clean with alcohol. You can also use a hot car on a sunny summer day if you have access to one, sealed in plastic and only items that won't melt, of course, no record albums items made of wax, etc.

[@loremailbx]

Dr. Dray, having carpet in bedroom can make worst the problem with bedbugs?

[@Danisuzette]

Ugh spent the last year being inspected and sprayed because a neighbor got a sofa that was infested... apartment life

[@Novemberrain111]

Morning yall! This is why I never put my suitcase or purse on hotel floor or bed, Always use the luggage rack provided. I also dont buy garage sale furniture or clothes.

[@littlepeky]

One of my patients had bedbugs i saw many during daylight.

[@glammie]

I had a mild BB infestation in my apartment and, never having been exposed to vermin like this, didn't recognize the signs (welts on my face, for example). One exterminator treatment and they were gone. Had to throw out a very expensive sofa which, in retrospect, I could have had it cleaned but I wanted it gone. I dread them reoccurring.

[@kalleyhaley5675]

@dr dray I always appreciate your tips! I wanted to see if it is possible to request best bang for your buck skin care regimine? I am just about done with all of my current products (inky list) but don't know where to go from here 😅 I know you have plenty of reviews and recommendations but going off of your current 2023 brain and products ? Maybe ? 😅 regardless I'm always appreciating your content❤
