Why Do Poor People Have Bed Bugs? - How To Prevent Bed Bugs In The First Place

[@heidimackey1867]

Your channel is the only thing giving me hope as I'm dealing with my third infestation in four years ! We aren't showing signs but I've send them. The exterminator the landlord paid isn't knowledgeable like you and he used transport. So I will likely end up treating myself. I ordered CrossFire and I hope we are finally bb free and for good !! But being in section 8 I know it's a possibility I won't be. Anyway thank you for posting !!

I really like your videos, very helpful. I live in a van, because of visiting a home with bedbugs I now have them in my van sense September, I have knocked them back alot but still living with them. Help . Thank you

[@GreenAkersPC]

Have you tried using crossfire

[@maryberry6067]

Not yet, I think it will be next, I started out with hot shot and have been using Harris bedbug and egg killer. I'll try crossfire nexts.

@@maryberry6067 How did it go?

[@Bellajane007]

We're working poor. We got em when autistic son's staff brought over family members children who had infestation, parked them on my couch and recliner. Caught them quickly, hit the critters with crossfire. I work as railroad driver. Our crews easily make 90-100k a year. But they stay in hotels each trip out. There's always a chance to take them home. Money isn't necessarily an indicator. Bugs don't care about your bank account.

In my field well to do people get bed bugs but the ones who get them most are the lower class. If you watch the video I explain why

[@Bellajane007]

@@GreenAkersPC Watched the video...at work lol. You have some good ideas there... I know several who go around looking at the wooden furniture pieces especially to bring home and flip. Nope..not happening!!

I just wanna say your so amazing thank you for all the information

Good content and advice.

Hi! I really enjoy your videos. I have a question. How long after the bedbug treatment can you begin cleaning your floor homes with bleach?

[@GreenAkersPC]

At least a month

[@elizagal7451]

Thank you. Did not know most of this. Yikes thought it was just cheap motels. Did bring a suitcase home from an air b and b with them but from a bite realized it and suitcase never got in the house. Barely escaped. Appreciate the education

How would you recommend treating an acoustic guitar for bed bugs? (Not sure if it has any, but not taking chances) Asking because, as you are probably aware, they are sensitive to temperature and humidity extremes, and not sure about the finish on them either.

[@apfelninja]

I'd treat the case first, then vacuum the guitar out with a hose, wipe the exterior down with alcohol, soak some rags in alcohol, and put them inside the guitar, put the guitar in its case, then put the case in a plastic bag for a couple days, then clean it again.

Iv had Bbugs 2s once my neighborhoods had them didn't tell me I let my kid's play their got them that way the other time my daughter brought them into my house from my ex this was all in 2 yes what a nightmare I was Lucky I was renting at the time.

I have sprayed the deltamethrin many times in month. how can I be sure when they are gone?

[@GreenAkersPC]

Deltamethrin is no good for bed bugs

[@mientran6094]

@@GreenAkersPC Ok. I'm thinkin they are resistance for deltamethrin

[@teru797]

I'm normally libertarian but this makes me think it should be illegal to not post warning signs that your shit has bedbugs in it.

[@philfrizzell4571]

Anyone can get bed bugs. Even if they live in a million dollar house

[@GreenAkersPC]

This is true. Poor people are more likely though statistically because they are more likely to buy used furniture

[@RamcyzkYourself]

This is true. However I’ve been in pest control for 6 months now and I recently said this is a trend I’ve noticed. As a poor person myself, it’s not out of line. But a lot of poor people take public transportation, stay in cheap motels etc, all of which are high probability areas for bedbugs. It’s a numbers game. Also they typically don’t have the money for treatment, so the bedbugs spread like wildfire as the issue goes ignored and unresolved.

[@stormwulf117]

What a disgusting title! It's not just "poor people" who have bedbugs. Even 4 star hotels and mansions can get bedbugged.

[@GreenAkersPC]

Did you even watch the video or just read the title lol

[@stormwulf117]

@@GreenAkersPC Your title is still wrong.

[@GreenAkersPC]

Next time I come up with a snazzy video warning poor people about how to not bring bed bugs into their home I will be sure to look you up for a great title.

[@RamcyzkYourself]

As a poor person who recently got into pest control, I’ve said this myself. You didn’t watch the video
