I love the guy I have been following him for years. High respect. I'll give you seat in heaven if I have to. I'm in Canada. I'm French. I respect people who care about others xoxoxo when you people like this they are rare!
I have successfully done both methods & YES SIR I am two weeks in with the co2 used the hanger but it blocked still worked bc it was about 10-15 that I could see - so now the second time the hanger formed the lining so now it will just hang 😎 in the pit fall! We don’t itch & our nerves are more calmer!!! & you saved my brand new couch in our brand new home!! This is a very traumatizing experience -I got them by helping someone out by letting their personal stuff in my home while they went on vacation-😫🥺🙄Being Kind&Genuine-and You Are A Blessing!!!! ✨🙏🏽✨👑✨✊🏽✨💯✨🧠✨
A man that owns his own pest control business and he made the exact same traps you made, down to the same ratios of water/sugar/yeast so I think this is a great idea.
You know this video has been up for about 10 years and it never ceases to amaze me how much professionals charge people to teach them this lesson. It's absolutely appalling. That is why I don't charge a nickel to create those videos. I feel like it is a sin against humanity to profit off of the suffering of others. Thank you for commenting.
@@JoelZWilliams1 Its literally a shame to say this but why cant more people just want to help out their neighbor!? Obviously $ is nice and all but there will always come a day when they will need assistance, regardless of what is or is not in their bank account. You do alot of good for alot of people. I am a single mother raising a son and with very hard work and consistency, I hope one day he will have as much of a giving and helping heart as yourself. The qualities you exude is what I am _trying_ to instilling into my son. I didn't mean to get super deep on ya 😄 but Thank You, really!! More people should strive to have the selflessness as you sir😉 P.s...we must be close in age cause your music file had me reminiscing!!! Thinking back to the skating rink days😁💃Seen E-40, YESSSS!!
I definately will my friend. You are a wise man and a savior to the poor. I'm not religious but I will tell you that You have helped so many of the poor and desolate. You are the Mosses that they need to to come to terms with and once they do all things change. It isn't like before. You really open your eyes to what you need to know. And there's no proof but the feeling of a special force is their all around us.
Started my trap...hope my cup is full! One tip on putting the hole in the soda bottle cap...unscrew the cap - put is on a block of wood upside down so the plastic and wood are touching and hit a nail or screw into it to start the hole. Less air means less chance of someone hurting themselves. TYVM for the tutorial
Thank you, mr. Williams for your easy to understand and follow video demonstrations on making these traps. It is people like you helping other people improve their lot that genuinely make a difference. I found your videos both illuminating and erudite. Will see how your traps work and possibly convince the other residents of the rooming house I live in to start using them as well. Be well, sir and thanks again.
Do you have any videos of these traps actually capturing live bugs? Something that shows how they crawl in, and how many, and how they can't get back up? Thanks for all these helpful videos. They're very informative. I hope you sell a lot of books!
First and foremost thank you, sir. The information you have provided is most welcome. I used a comprehensive approach in 2017 and completely eliminated a bedbug problem before it got completely out of hand. Washed everything, vacuumed frequently, applied DE on bed frames and along carpet edges. I didn’t know about CimeXa then. I put mattress covers and Kiltown on the mattresses. Where I couldn’t reach with the powder I sprayed a mixture of wintergreen isopropyl alcohol and tea tree oil. Needless to say all of this was a considerable expense but I was successful. I also had to eliminate fleas and we don’t even have pets. However, I only had peace for about a year and because bedbugs are now an ongoing fact of life they have made a new assault. I have seen bedbugs on buses and also once on the train. So I have begun again and this time I have ordered CimeXa and a powder applicator. I will make at least one of the (brilliant) yeast/sugar traps this time. The present problem is not serious enough to call it an infestation but bedbugs cannot be ignored. They have to be eliminated by all possible means as soon as they have been discovered. ⭐️⭐️🎖⭐️⭐️
So, this guy who owns an auto body repair shop was trying to clown me in my neighborhood in Southwest DC. Enough people had seen my videos and benefited from them that they shamed him by and forced him to STFU. So yeah, it's cool to be recognized.
Thank you good sir for your knowledge. I haven't tried any of this yet as I have just discovered that I have a bed bug problem yesterday. I will get started and I have faith in what you're claiming from your videos. You come across as an honest hard working man and that's rare these days. I appreciate you sharing what you know. May Elohim Bless you!
You're AWESOME! Just got bit last night. Going out to get ingredients for the trap. Tip: you can take that tubing, a hair dryer, heat up the tubing and stretch it out, pull it a bit til it straightens. Repeat if necessary.
Mr. Williams, I have to say that I appreciate you for sharing your valuable wisdom. I'm going to make these homemade traps and I'll let you know how we do! You are thorough, conscientious of folks budget, technically savvy and dress sharp too.
The little duster is definitely worth it! Cuts back on time applying. I keep wanting to call CimeXa "Cinemax." I can never remember how the name goes. Ha ha.
OMG I want a big hug hun! im so in tears for this, I never knew they even exsist tell I moved . I thought I had scabies treated but didn't work , now I have bites everywhere and because my roommate sleeps in livingroom and 3 cats I see them crawling on the carpet and floor everywhere. never on the walls don't think they can with the sort of paint . I love u so much again thanks for all u do I also sleep on floor, but daughter got me a bed with no frame so shes gonna do the covers before bring it to me I gonna duck tape it lol. cant wait to get the bed my body cant take this floor no more. I love u so much not good enough words can be enough hun thank u soso very much
Thank you Joel. I used rubber bands to keep my tubing in the shot glass, a small one around the cap an loop of tubing above the cap and a large one around the bottle and tubing about a third way down the bottle. That only leaves about 6" or so of unrestrained tubing at the bottom which made it much easier to control. That was on aquarium tubing ... 8' lengths are sold at Walmart for about $2.00.
Thank you, Joel. I'm not even sure we have bedbugs, but just thinking about them makes me itch. My daughter had a few bites several weeks ago while in bed. I treated her room with CimeXa, removed a lot of stuff and am gradually making my way around the house. Anyway, your video was very helpful.
Mr Williams I'm a WW2 aircraft enthusiast. When I saw the poster I knew you were the real deal. Thanks for looking out for the socio-economicly disadvantaged.
Thank you very much Mr Williams for all the good info in your videos, I love your attitude. I would like to add a warning. My Dad passed away from silica dust in the lungs. The tiny particles of silica dust are very sharp and once in the lungs they stay there continually cutting up the lungs. My dad had this problem from a job he had and as the cuts heal they create scar tissue. According to his doctor eventually he had too much scar and not enough functional lung left which caused his death. Please emphasize to folks that breathing silica dust is extremely bad for you and they should always wear a good dust mask and make sure they or nobody else ever breathes the dust. Probably only and issue during application. Thanks again for your great work. Tom Lavelle
@@tgard2580 - I switched to rubbing alcohol because it dries faster but 1” of dust in a standard spray bottle and fill half way with water or alcohol and shake it up while using. When it dries up you can tell if it’s too heavy or how much to spray. It’s almost invisible when wet.
My husband and I have been using your bug traps since last October, a year ago, and the traps are working great! Caught 150 the first time. Anyone monitoring every 2 weeks and changing yeast method. Do have an idea on water, use distilled water, since tap water has chlorine etc. added. Also we've been using 'Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) and placing this in our doorways, under doors etc. After sweeping and steaming furniture, our recliners we use most, had Diatomaceous Earth around the recliners too! Did wrap our mattress, like you said, and lucky the bugs didn't get in the mattress. To go on, noticed some bedbugs in our bathtub, they were LOOKING for water! So decided to add water traps, using the same method as for traps and adding a little water in the glasses. It works, believe we're catching more now in water traps, still get some in the other traps too! At least we still have our home and all the furniture. Bedbugs are slowly going away. At least they're not biting us. Thanks for this great site!
where was u guys sleeping and when did u catch them? I made one and haven't seen one bug in it or the one in the living room or in the spare room. I know its putting out co2. Still bubbling. How often do ya need to change the formula ? i just put mine in a cup and put a zip lock bag over the top.
You can add fly sticky paper around bed foots to make sure they really don't come back to your bed because bed foot are often climbable by bed bug because of the paint on the foot of the bed and you can use the pit traps with it
yes your bowl pitfalls do work. My grandma use to use something very similar back in old days. But then they filled it with coal oil. NO DO NOT DO THAT LOL BUT you CAN fill the bowl with diatomaceous earth. It literally shreds them . And you dont even need the pitfall inner cup with that stuff. They usually dont make it across the DE. But I will say sealing the bed and cups stopped them in the bed.. As far as the cracks go. They will travel threw walls on wiring an pipes. If you can afford to do so buy tubes of clear caulk and SEAL SHUT any cracks. (this also helps roaches and other bugs from traveling threw ) Keep going your doing great things for people!! and tape shut any unused electrical out lets
I want to thank you so much. I have made 2 traps and I have seen best bugs in them. I was worried I didn't make it right. Also, the plastic has worked wonders. I haven't gotten bitten, with the exception I picked up a blanket that touched the floor and got bit. But I got Cimexa, plastic and the traps going. And man am I hopeful.
This trap works! What would make it slightly easier to set up each time is a measurement and sequence list. So I put this together from your info: A. 1 6oz Luke warm water 2 Add 2 tablespoons of Sugar (or 6 teaspoons) 3 Add 1 packet Active Dry yeast 4 Stir well - wait 10 minutes B. 1 Half Gallon (or 2 Quarts) Luke warm water 2 Add 2 Cups Sugar 3 Add contents of "A" & stir 4 Funnel into 2 liter bottle leaving 2" gap of air Connect the tube and check with a balloon over the end for Co2 production. I failed a couple of times because I did not use the exact measurements. Thank you for all you are doing to combat these bugs
thankyou for posting videos. i just moved in and im getting bit badly. i dont have money for heat treatment so im going to attempt to trap the bugs tonight. i will be emailing you sending videos for you. thanks again
Great vid! Because of limited funds for a duster, i used a turkey/barbeque baster works very well with controlled puffs. $2 at home depot, $1 at any dollar store.
I promise I can’t wait to try these methods hoping it works because it honestly makes me sad how bad I get bit up, I’m literally having insomnia because of this.
I find myself not sleeping either but I want to tell you that I made these tapes 2 of them and by day 2 there was about 15 in one and 8 in the other and now it has been a week and there are too many to count. put them a few feet away from where you sleep so that they crawl away from you. I also put vaseline in the bottom of my cups.. Good sleeping ahead!
I have been treating a house for bb's and found one in a cold air register. I decided to save it to show my friend who is working with me. I stuck it to some cheap duct tape and carefully placed it on top of a paint can at our work table. It was gone the next morning! It had crawled away somehow and I saw nothing left on the duct tape. I successfully transferred an adult bb to another room! And, had to start steaming all over again. BTW, upside down strips of masking tape have done an awesome job on roaches in some of our empty rental houses! May work with bb's too. Talk about cheap and eco-friendly! I am off to make a co2 trap now.
Empty dish soap bottles make for a excellent powder dispersement method. Clean and let dry use a funnel to put the powder in. Now almost close the top of push pull top and BOOM . now squeeze bottle and a fine mist forced out by the air. And its free and your recycling too!
Love your vidoes i do these methods myself and have been stressing this to my friends here in east Canada. Give people your videos to watch so i can educate them on low budget cost to deal with bugs. As where its 100s to have professionals come in to heat treat etc. My question to you is can i do the same method but instead of bowl use a sticky trap mouse trap flat on the floor under bed posts so the bug gets stuck in the sticky trap or is that a bad idea for bed bugs?... Only reason i ask is that. I heard you mention the whole in in trouble send alarm to the other bed bugs trouble and that ultimately would render the sticky trap non effective?... I do however love the yeast method as where they are attracted to your breathing thats why most times you find them near your head when searching your bed.
@@KrispyChanges I know if it gets colder when I use to make wine the CO2 bubble from when the alcohol is made can slow way down. That would make the trap no longer attractive to bed bugs until it warms back up. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much Joel, you are such a beautiful soul and so caring and understanding of how we poor class ppl need better and even safer options to protect our family. I love your idea and the way that you present it, explaining things so well...I will give it a try tomorrow after I go get some yeast and tubing. I don't know if I can get that cemexa here in Australia but will try... just wanted to ask too though...does it matter if I use white raw or brown sugar ??? in the trap for mozzies they use the brown sugar with the yeast. Thanks again :D
That...my friend is EXACTLY whAT I MEAN..THATS WHY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL, BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR A CHEAP THING THat regular people can do without being blackballed by expensive shit people sell you...i worked for the Salvation Army and i came to this channel to find ways to help people
What do you think of using a small hose (like the one on your trap) to apply cimexa between the walls via small drilled hole or light socket? This is WAR!!, so i wanna hit em where they live.
Hey sir thank you so much for your informational videos i learned a lot....I do not know if there are different kinds of D.E powder but i caught some bed bugs alive put them in a pitfall and put the D.E on them it does not kill them immediately they did die in 6 hours
@@JoelZWilliams1 We put together three of your Gold standard traps last night as my sister-in-law woke up with bites while visiting. No bugs caught yet (We're in Toronto, Canada). A couple of questions: How long before we should re-do the mixture? How long do the bugs usually hide before feeding again?
Could you cut off the top 3rd of the bottle, invert it back into the bottle, wrap the actual bottle with towels and make your yeast bottle the actual pit trap too?
K, so never having even seen a bedbug in my over 40 years: Recently got to know them, intimately when a family member brought in some luggage that they purchased from Good Will. ( I'm convinced that is where they came from.) They ate me up for about 3 weeks. So, I made a couple of your traps, yesterday I think. So far nothing. One thing, the first time i made the water yeast mixture, it 'frothed'. the second time I could not get it to froth for the next trap. I used it anyway. How long is it usually before you start seeing dead bloodsuckers??? We also used that 'Diatomaceous Earth' and have been spraying BB killer for couple weeks.
Thank you, sir! I built 2 of these a week ago. things have improved tremendously. The wire in the tubing was spot on. but in the pitfall i put salt and it kills them rather quickly. So far in one trap we got 5 adults and 30 nymphs. Good show, mate! On a side note Where did you get the plane model? from what i can see of it you did a sharp job of it.
Joel Z. Williams hey Joel Just tried you bed bug trap today. Made two of them hopefully things start working out. I’ll keep you updated on the progress thanks again for the videos..
I don't think Mr. Williams actually tried this. I tried this as well with other materials that was plastic and stronger than this soft plastic. The weight of the fat-ass sitting on the bed immediately cracked two of this general idea's bowls. Try old frying pans with the talcum in the bottom. But DAYAM Mr. Williams, you are spot-on with the advice! This is why I am adding yet more related advice. I used to have a pest-control license.
Suggestions: mopping the floor with bleach water mixture, vaseline around the rim of shoes or feet to prevent bugs from climbing up, bedding and clothes can go in a hot drier for 30 minutes without washing first, heat kills. Spraying body with rubbing alcohol, hot showers or bath, wet head also, kept bug free clothes in plastic bags. Changing bedding every couple days and putting in drier, kept bedding in plastic bags when not in use. Eggs hatch about 7-9 days, so even if the home is cleared expect a new batch of bugs to appear. Five once a week feeding to breeding age. The newt are so small can barely be seen, and are white before feeding. Bite so small look like a rash. Kept bed away from walls A blow dryer will kill bugs. Dry Ice traps works well. If any question of contact, change and bag clothes the minute arriving home and mop with bleach water.Also salt and baking soda mixture spread everywhere helps.
What if you put the pitfall and bottle of CO2 right in the middle of top of your bed and then just left the house for a couple days? Wouldn't the bugs still go up there thinking there's still blood to be had? Btw, you are a genius thinking up that wire coat hanger trick.
bed bugs can live for up to 1 year without food after 10 or 15 days they go in to hibernation .. eggs take days to hatch and another 10 days to starve.. . a few days wont solve your problem . traps will catch them and kill them and prevent reinfesteation
Knights Creative they can only in the right conditions, that is cold and with no host to feed on. In a normal home where a host is present they can only last about 3-6 months. If you can use the traps and a barrier to keep them from feeding, and there is the presence of CO2 to keep them “awake” and seeking a meal then they will starve in about 3-5 months.
Nice P 47 in the background. I don't know if I've got bed bugs or not but I'm going to try and find out by using these methods. I've already made knat traps that work really well with a simple plastic cup and lid with a small hole in it.. With those I used melon for bait. Power to the people. Love ya dude. Keep on trucking.
After suffering bedbugs for months, I finally found salvation through lightly dusting all their hiding places with diatomaceous earth (non-edible version). It's truly the most effective solution, and cheap too.
People will say on RU-vid you can't have them for months and not know. That's just not true. I've had them for months or longer and only in the past 2 weeks did I start getting bit so bad I figured it out. My bedroom has black out curtains and my pillow cases were purple. My mattress topper hung out over my box spring and mattress so it was the perfect storm for them to take hold. Plus I'm very sick and can't clean like I once could. Pray for me.
@@wendi2819Dear God, please send someone to help , put in traps or whatever they can do. Wendi, please call a church if you don’t have one or call your church and say you need help. This is a cheap DIY project for them to make you some traps. I will pray for you.
Question. If the bugs in the bed can climb down the bed leg into the bowl, what stops them climbing back up the leg, back into the bed, or do you need some liquid in the white bowl?
Good question. a dab of Vaseline or a little bit of any desiccant powder like CimeXa will be much more effective than water, but water will do in a pinch.
thank you for your videos you are wait to cute nice and knowledgeable, it is wonderful of you to care enough to spread your knowledge, yes bed bug infestation is a money grab for sure.
Hey JoelZ ...Man i just want to thank you and give u a big hug homie. ( No Homo) lol ive had these things for over a year ive not really tried much but throwing things away, most my funiture is gone and kids left home too.so there's no way my able to pay an exterminator $500.00. I'm not the smartest man. And juggling loans is how we live. But I live in east Las Vegas,Nv and im going to try all your methods. I wish there was a way i could document what happens(maybe i can barrow a friends GoPro). But i don't mind being hummilated with my ignorenc to help other people. So if there's. Anything i can do just let me know to help the cose. I will. Thx so much. And God Bless you all.
I got the stuff for the first trap. I put a sheet on my recliner so I can see them & I kill them with a cigarette lighter, or I catch them & drop them into a glass with water , 1/2 inch . They cant get out. Plan to make the trap tomorrow. Thanks!
Might be a good idea to sprinkle some of that Cimexa onto strips of tape, and tape them (Powdered side exposed) to the bottom of the box-spring mattress. That should kill them around the clock for as long as needed.
Just discovered bed bugs by one crawling on me after waking up. You showed a way to build a bed leg trap. I have a platform bed....how can it be a use to to such a bed. I already seen your video on the CO2 trap.....going to try it out.
Someone always has to complain about the easiest things...I mean seriously? It's like being hand fed!! Mr. Williams I have to thank you so much, you are the first one that I heard about Cimexa from...to use a slightly overused statement "you rock!!". :)
+Amy V . The short answer is no. This is nothing more than a variant of Diatomaceous Earth. Please just buy any amorphous silica gel like CimeXa or Temprid instead. There have been well-reviewed scientific studies that showed that DE is so much less effective at killing bedbugs when compared with ASGs that it's not even close! Besides, you can get a 4oz bottle of CimeXa delivered to your house for about the same $15 you would spend on other DE-based products.
I use the clothes hanger from the floor to the hose. twist the hanger so the hose stays in the hanger and just let the other end remain pointed. This will stay upright just fine. :) (Think in terms of a 'Y' with the hanger).
I'm not sure if anyone has asked already BUT, would it be possible and effective to revise your trap so that the hose is coming from a homemade mead, wine or whatever bottle instead of your yeast/sugar mixture. I'm just curious since I know tons of people who make their own wine and during the process it puts out tons of Co2.
@@JoelZWilliams1 Are you sure about that? I use to make wine with grapefruit juice and I always added sugar to it to make it extremely strong. Granted you may be adding more sugar than I would but I found it would just stop converting sugar to alcohol when it reached a certain % of alcohol. And then any extra sugar left in the wine would give you a banging hangover. I have an idea that your mix very well may not be converting all the sugar with any extra going to waste. Your powdered packets of yeast do start the process off faster and you are using alot compared to wine. A common 5 gallon plastic bucket once used to make wine would have microscopic yeast in its pours that dry. If you put just sugar and water into such bucket the reaction would start bubbling CO2 in about 1 1/2 days. Without adding yeast. The wine I made perhaps wasn't wine due to the higher alcohol content. If you drank a quart you would be knocked out for about 16 hrs. I would not advise drinking more than 12 oz or even less.
