Forgot to ask, do you have to heat the water & do you use a thermometer to make sure the water is hot enough? 🤔 does it have to be precise or can you just open the faucet & use that hot water? Also, should I put some Vaseline on the tube as well in case they try to climb up the tube?
@ro-landocalrissian4633 you don't want the water too hot. You want it Luke warm, or body temperature. Adjust both hot and cold on your faucet until it doesn't feel too hot or too cold on your skin. Kind of like testing a baby bottle lol. You can use a thermometer if you really want to be sure. It should be around 98 degrees. Some Vaseline on the hose would be a good idea for extra security
Does this make your house smell? How long do these last? Do you have to put these in the room where you sleep? I got bit in my bed, so i know they’re there..that’s the only place I have to sleep, so what can I do so they go to the trap & not me? Can you leave the air conditioner on with these in there? Last, can you put this in your car?
@ro-landocalrissian4633 does not make your house smell. Just don't spill it! They will last for 2-3 weeks. It's preferable to put them in the room when your not sleeping in there, but if that's not a possibility, then just know that they may go after you instead of the trap, not much we can do about that unfortunately. You can leave the AC on. They will work in a car, but I do not have many issues in vehicles unless someone is sleeping there, or they are carrying them on their body or items and happened to drop some. If you're just getting bites but haven't seen a bug yet, it's really important to get a positive ID first. Check your matresses and bedframe for evidence, particularly near the head, and get a positive ID if you can first
For the heat, leave a radiator on setting number 1 and leave the C02 mix close by less than 2 feet. It works Make up several C02 mixes and leave in the bedroom. Remember to leave on the radiator The hotter the radiator the better
I’m definitely going to try this out… i wonder if you put a hand warmer pack that you put in gloves to keep your hands warm in there it would simulate a person’s body heat to the bedbugs and really attract them to it 🤔
I wonder what my grandparents did years ago?? I remember them talking about bed bugs but I thought it was caused from feather mattresses, one elderly lady said to put your mattress in the sun
This is really smart. You are making alcohol. The yeast make CO and alcohol. This would draw them in for sure. At the end you have something to drink as well. Thanks for sharing
Suppppper great video. Thank you it’s a mental issue for sure too! Quite overwhelming. Only infestation (where I sleep mostly cause of injury) bed cover with good mattress covers for long time. Don’t see any in there but treating well too. Threw the couch away. Got a new one steaming every two days using DE etc. Sleeping in another chair. Want to keep the new couch as clean as possible. With steaming is this good or any other thoughts. Will put one of the bottles I make today right beside the couch would you suggest? Dont want to draw them to it though but draw them out to see what o have but do want to see if anything left??? Wish the couch had legs (use the things to put under to catch them before crawling up but they have bars under them so amy thoughts on prevention for couch?
I have found dusting with diatomaceous earth every bit (lightly) sure helps. Keep it in window seals along baseboards closets etc too. I put out sticky paper traps here and there. Getting a lot less bugs on them!😊
I appreciate you and your video I don't think you're a crook the fact that you posted this video shows that you're not you're trying to kill the problem not kill your business
in a shelter, with dozens of men on all sides, treatment of my cubicle is impossible. i had hoped that traps would divert them from me, but you have removed that hope. i fear that i have to put up with the welts. maybe tea tree oil and tape around my bedframe will slow them?
What about larvae and eggs, without pesticides how are they managed? Asking as I am trying to not use chemicals but I don’t think my problem can be managed without. Thank you.
@@larryspestpatrol9235 Thank You so much!!! I wish you were in Canada I would enlist your services in the spot! We are talking about carpet beetles correct? As your reply said bed bugs (God please no not that CB’s are enough 😫) You can tell you’re very knowledgeable and have the client’s best interest at heart!!!! I feel so hopeless it seems the problem is so overwhelming. Between the washing and the cleaning and vacuuming and inspecting . To be honest we had a problem long before we even noticed and now I fear it’s out of control.
Okay, so my apologies, I thought you were commenting on my bedbug video. With Carpet beetles, you have to find and remove the food source. If you are seeing the larvae, you are very close. Sometimes, the source is inside a wall or floor void where rodents have hoarded food or died, making it very difficult to get to. Sometimes, it's pet food or bird seed that has spilled behind a cabinet.
Hey I just came across this video. I take it you are probably busy with the motels & hotels. I’m surprised a company hasn’t attempted to make a trap commercially
I've been seeing a lot of these for the past 3 years and I thought they just came in yearly but now I'm starting to think it's an infestation. They're only seen in my room thankfully but I cannot find the food source anywhere. The adult carpet beetles are always on my bed near the window but I have never seen any larvae. I don't know where the adult beetles come from, I just randomly see them on my bed. I looked under my bed and found nothing, I looked under my sheets, inside the mattress, and below the mattress but I also didn't find the source. There was a cracked floorboard under my bed but I didn't see any carpet beetles near it, I put tape over the crack just in case. Any idea where the nest may be?
Here’s my addition to the trap if you can afford to buy a bag of diatomaceous earth, put that in the trap instead of the talcum powder so that even if they do somehow escape that will kill them no matter what (it desiccates them). Just be wary about the dust as it can dry your skin, eyes, nasal passages & throat so be careful with it - best to use a mask & goggles to be extra cautious.
cook em in your dryer. make sure your dryer goes to at least 125 degrees F. put 3 towels in dryer for 20 minutes-stop dryer=put meat thermometer inside the middle of pile-aim the face of thermometer to where you can see it through the clear door glass if have it-close door quickly=wait 5 minutes-if it gets over 120 to 125 degrees then it's hot enough. my dryer goes to 145 degrees per this test. I read some say 30 min on high heat-I found it wasn't enough. I do at least an hour. Also can't find any info on heat killing eggs. I still dealing with nymphs. I cook my blankets every 4 days and steam heat my carpets the same. I was told to do this for 6 weeks since the entire cycle of the bug is 6 weeks. I had a pest control come spray/fog/put powder into outlets 2 times in march and now I am doing follow up, Cimexa also works really well except I think the steaming of carpets is causing the powder to clump where I apply on the bed frame...but I do find tiny red dots in the lint pocket of the dryer on occasion...so looks like we have to wait for the eggs to hatch then kill the buggers.
@@booksfoxxy9827good advise. I’m steam cleaning couch and carpets every two days in room where I had infestation in couch. Vac first then steam (keep vac in closed see threw bad, canister type) Threw couch away. Got another one and steaming it every two days too. Use the DE lightly with a puffer so they walk through it babies etc and will die off in couple days. Vac and steam. Thank god have small apt I had a injury and was sleeping on the couch so that’s why they were there not the bed Keep out just the cloths I wear and have dried and steamed. All other was cleaned steamed dried and have gone in industrial sized clear bags with DE. Gonna do this trick from video. The other thing I found was super expensive. Gonna spend all summer killing off. Feels good to downsize and only have out what I need. I keep it all in a clear tub treated.
how long will you know you have bed bugs?...i was in hotel oct.9th - 10 13 2023..then i hospital for about 4 days then back home about oct.20ish,,,,,how long will it take to know/?..i just realize about a month ago.
Why do I see bed bugs dead ones around my apartment. No bug bites. I don't see signs on my bed. They just show up dead on my floor around my apartment. Dead ones on my deck outside
Sounds like you may be dealing with something other than a bed bug. You will not find bedbugs outside on a deck. We have been having major problems with Elm Seed Bugs in my neck of the woods. You may be dealing with something similar. If you send me a picture, I can try to ID it and tell you what it is and where it's coming from.
The solution stays in the 2 liter bottle, it creates CO2, which moves on its own through the tube and collects in the small glass where it will attract bed bugs
I’m only finding larvae on my walls, and under my bed, which has been vacuumed and cleaned now. I haven’t found any adults, I think I might have seen a few a month or two ago though, but I haven’t seen a single one since. I have blackout curtains and my room never gets any sunlight, nor do I allow pets in my room. Not sure what to do. I’m currently working on cleaning the rest of my room, because they have been popping up on all my walls, and not just one. I’ve got really bad depression and I let my room become a big mess, i’m really worried about it.
I'm still battling these things for several months inside and outside. Outside, I've found Bioadvanced in the blue bottle seems to work for a period of 6 weeks or so. Inside, aside from almost daily vacuuming or mopping, I've had decent success with bowls of vinegar all around, mainly in the corners of rooms. These little things seem to love COFFEE next to me and my cat, a fluffy Maine Coon. Each time I think I found the last nest, I seem to be defeated and come across more. But reading through these comments has helped me realize that there must be something in the wall/s. I'm in Florida and anything and everything is possible here. I did buy some Temprid at the suggestion of Green Akers pest control guy on YT, but I'm afraid to use chemicals inside as I'm really mostly natural in my lifestyle due to allergies and the cat. I've done lots of caulking as well and that seemed to help, but the issue persists.
Larry I found a better way of making the caps, when I went to the hardware store to buy the tubing, I walked around the to the nail section and bought 3 really LONG nails that were the same diameter as the tubing. I then heated the tips of the nails and just pushed them through the middle of the caps, so easy peezy to do and no fiddling with knives. If the tubing did not push the hole, I just heated the long nails tip again and melted the hole a tiny bit bigger by rotating it. If you happen to make the hole too big, you can seal it with the silicone so no gas leaks out. I did not have to do this, as all my holes were a perfect fit. I made 6 caps in less than 5 minutes using the nail method. Remember pl you need to buy LONG nails so the whole nail does not heat up and you can comfortably hold it to push through the caps. I didn't even have to use gloves.
