Easiest and Fastest Bedbug Trap ever 

Then your screwed

definitely screwed. . . i'm sorry mate.

You’re not getting any bugs

I’ve found that glasses with pictures of dice works just as well. Wait, I should be clear about this. It works with sevens and elevens, but not with snake eyes.

Mix of yeast and sugar, see the other vids Jules has up here.

Julien Noiseux How long was it before you found you had the problem solved. I have a small motel with small rooms about the size of a normal bedroom.

+William Taylor ___ A small motel, the perfect place for bedbug shields and bedbug traps. The dreaded bedbug, the nightmare of all honest hoteliers. Bedbugs can come from any of their guests and the host will stay stuck with the problem, having to pay for the decontamination and losing rentals because bedbugs can't be dislodged for months after an infestation has been discovered. A dilemma, a catch 22, can't rent and can't tell, losing money because of bedbugs. And the Industry has nothing to offer to solve this problem. All they have is poison and people will find out and stop renting because they do not want to sleep with bedbugs and in poison. Either way you lose, no matter if you do anything about it or not. And where does this problem come from? Well, you cannot make a full bedbug search every time you have a guest, that would turn them away and you would lose business. So you have to take a chance every time and hope nobody brings bedbugs in, right? That’s how it happens, someone inadvertently brings a single bedbug along (nobody does it on purpose), and that bedbug once inside the room has access to every place and to full nourishment (blood) so it can grow and develop into a multitude of new bedbugs that will eventually create hell for both the host and the guests. It is that single bedbug that you have to neutralize and keep from being able to feed. That’s right, if you keep that very first bedbug from being able to bite, it will not be able to grow or lay eggs. That lone single bedbug will never start an infestation and will not be able to feed on your guests. Will you ever have a bedbug problem? No! Prevention goes a long way and will save you thousands of dollars. Prevention is what you need to forever be bedbug-proof, impervious to bedbugs. Interested? All you need is knowledge, how you can turn your rooms inhabitable for bedbugs. Make each room impossible for bedbugs to be able to roam around and most importantly unable to bite your guests by blocking them with a bedbug shield. How long will it be before you find that you solved the problem? Right away, and the problem will be solved permanently, you will never worry about bedbugs again. Making a room bedbug-proof is relatively easy and it is not expensive. The costs of setting up your rooms proof against bedbug are done only once and after that, the system that you will put in place will keep bedbugs from being able to attack and bite, which is how we get more bedbugs. Keeping the very first bedbug from being able to feed eliminate the whole colony before it even has a chance to start. At worst down the line, you will find a dead bedbug somewhere under the shield when you will be cleaning up the room. A single lone dead bedbug that will show you that the shield did exactly what it is meant for, prevent and eliminate the very first bedbug before it has a chance to feed and multiply. That’s the wonder of the bedbug shield, the ultimate defense against bedbugs, eliminating the very first bedbug. Making rooms bedbug-proof is a great idea, but how do we do that? And how do we do it at the least possible costs? Well, the system is made of three simple things that anybody can do himself with materials found in local stores, no other costs are involved: • First, the Bedbug Shield, • Then, the CO2 Bedbug Traps, • Last, the Bedbug Barriers. The Bedbug Shield is an impenetrable barrier placed between the sleeper and the bedbugs. Bedbugs cannot go through it and they cannot go around it either. It is an impasse, a bedbug cul-de-sac. Bedbugs are attracted to the sleeper at night and that barrier stops them from being able to reach him/her. It is made with a fabric cover, such as a contour (fitted) sheet on which is fixed a plastic skirt hanging straight down and almost to the floor. Any bedbug that get under that upside down bag, either on the floor coming from anywhere in the room, as well as bedbugs that might already be in the mattress will get stuck under that shield and will never be able to bite. Bedbugs are totally neutralized by a bedbug shield and slowly die of starvation without molting and without laying eggs. They are stuck never to get out again and they die without anyone even being aware of them. Set up your rooms with bedbug shields and none of your guest will ever get a single bedbug and /or bedbug bite when staying in your place. Any bedbug that you might get from the outside will quickly go under a shield in trying to get its first bite. Your small motel will simply be bedbug-proof, catching and killing bedbugs as they come. Don’t worry about bedbugs anymore, you will have bedbug shields. It is a bed cover that becomes a bedbug trap attracting bedbugs with body heat but keeps them from feeding. It can be made locally for the price of the services of a seamstress making this bed cover to bedbug specifications. The CO2 Bedbug Traps are bedbug monitors, they detect bedbug presence by catching them when they search for their blood meal. We use their hunger against them, we set up traps using CO2 as a lure. These traps are made with a solution of sugar and yeast to produce CO2 and attract bedbugs into small glass pitfalls from which they cannot get out of. The CO2 bedbug traps can also be made locally and at the lowest costs. The Bedbug Barriers are fences bedbugs cannot get across. Bedbugs are climbers and excel on wood, paper, latex paint, soft plastics, leather, fabric, masonry, stones... well most anything our dwellings are made of. On the other hand, bedbug fail miserably on hard and smooth vertical surfaces such as glass, porcelain, ceramics, polished metal, hard plastics... and talcum powder! All we need to stop bedbugs from being able to climb up where we do not want them to, (meaning anywhere they can now go in the room), is a smooth vertical surface lightly covered with talcum powder. When bedbugs reach such a talcum covered surface, they slip, they slide, lose their grip and fall down to the floor where the CO2bedbug traps are. The best bedbug barriers are made with ½”common scotch tape applied to the legs of the bed and the furniture as well as above the wall baseboards inside closets and/or storing spaces. Anywhere you do not want bedbugs to be able to go into. Keep them always on the floor where they are the most vulnerable and will go towards the traps instead. This completes the trap. • Shield on the bed to keep the very first bedbug from getting a single bite. • CO2 bedbug traps on the floor to detect and catch the very first bedbugs. • Bedbug barriers on the furniture and the walls to keep bedbugs down and out of our living quarters. With these three simple measures you will prevent and eliminate any bedbug as they happen. You will never be infested by bedbugs. No poison, no costs, you are in control. Sleep well. JulesNoise

William Taylor D.E. powder works well. Get it from Amazon instead of Home Depot { works better }

Jose Sevilla Yes, DE is a proven bedbug killer. It is an agricultural method of controlling insects by scratching the layer of wax on their exo-skeleton and rampant insects lose their moisture in 3-7 days depending on how much they came in contact with DE. The best way to use DE is to use it abondantly on every part of the bed. On the bed frame, in the box spring and on the seams and folds9 Esoecially corners) of the mattress. Why on the bed? Because it is where 70-90% of all the bedbugs are. It is useless to spread DE in every part of the room as there are no more than 7% of all bedbugs in the place where they tell you to pit DE. DE must be in the path of bedbugs so that they walk in it to get dessicated. But the thing better than DE is a bedbug shield, an impenetrable barrier that stops all bedbugs and keeps them from being able to bite. With a bedbug sjield, all bedbug bites stop at once and you can use the bed normally without getting a single bite. You can use DE along with a bedbug shield and CO2 bedbug trap for 100% elimination results. DE, the bedbug shield and the CO2 bedbug traps will eliminate all your bedbugs right down to the last one, leaving no bedbug behind to make a re-infestation More information about bedbugs and the CO2Bedbug Trap can be found at julesnoise.com/

Probably doesn't like the way his voice sounds on camera. I for one HATE how I sound on camera.

Yeast and sugar and water create a mix that causes to create CO2 that the bed bugs are attracted to and they go into the glass.

That's right, it works every time. Bedbugs follow the CO2 that overflows from the glass and climb on the covered outside of the glass (for easy climbimg) to fall into it and never come out. Bedbugs cannot climb on glass. 2 cups of sugar 1 envelope (7 grams) of yeast 2 liters of lukewarm water It produces fermentation that releases CO2. The mix lasts 2-3 weeks

Sagan Android 😂😂😂😂😂😂

JnSavedByTheBell you should have stated that in the video

Soooo we're working on the assumption that you know to put sugar and yeast in the water bottles right?

Brilliant! I'll try this. How often do u have to replace bottles? I don't knoe if i can find straws that fit snuggly

I was thinkjng of powdering the inside of the glass

Poison, traps... who gives a shite, as long as they get eradicated, eh?

@__Anton UvaIl__Excellent! Yes the CO2 bedbug trap does work and it will keep working as it did so far for you, catching bedbugs that come out of hiding in the hope of being able to feed (bite you). The CO2 bedbug trap use one of the two most powerful lure to attract and catch bedbugs. The other lure even more powerful as CO2 is the heat from our body. Bedbugs can locate us acroos the room simply from the heat of our body. To lure, and catch bedbugs using body heat as a lure, simply place a bedbug shield over the bed. The bedbug shield is an impenetrable barrier that stops all and every bedbug from being able to feed. With a bedbug shield, all bedbug bites stop at once and you can use the bed without worrying about bedbugs and without getting a single bite. A bedbug shield is the end of the bedbug nightmare. You can make your own bedbug shield with a simple regular fabric contour sheet placed directly on the mattress and fix and seal a plastic skirt hanging down almost to the floor all around the bed. The combinatin of the bedbug traps and the bedbug shield eliminates all bedbugs right down to the last one and within weeks, at the most three months you will be bedbug free while being protected against bedbug bites The bedbug shield can be found at: The Bedbug Shield More information about bedbugs and the CO2 bedbug trap can be found at julesnoise.com/ Get rid of all your bedbugs and do not let the bedbug bite.

Anton Uva where do you work?

@__ Charaf Lahbiki ___ The bedbugs are coming from the box spring or the bed frame. There might be other bedbugs somewhere in the room, and when they come out to feed, they use the bed legs to climb in the bed. As for the mattress cover, bedbugs easily get around it by using the bed sheets to get to the top of the mattress where you sleep. Bedbug covers can only encase bedbugs in the mattress and do nothing for bedbugs outside the mattress cover. The bedbugs that are not entombed are free to get to you and to feed at will. They simply go elsewhere and make another harborage from which they will continue to harass you and keep biting you. These mattress encasement are made by plastic manufacturers that know nothing about the bedbug and basically they sell a bagthat catch a few bedbugs and let the others roam at will. There are millions of people using these encasements and they all end up with a full infestation, it is a very profitable business. Caulking is the same. We feel that caulking every crack and crevice will get us rid of bedbugs, but is it useless work. If filling the cracks give a few less places for bedbugs to hide, they simply move to a next one or to the underside of the furniture where they are not seen anymore. Caulking is okay to do renovation and make the place neat and clean, but it does not deter bedbugs from stalking us from another place near where we sleep. But we will use it. In my previous reply, I talked about a bedbug shield, you still need that. But this time we will fix it (duct tape) to the sides of the cover instead of the sides of the mattress. It is that plastic skirt that is missing to make a mattress cover to work like a shield. It is because bedbugs can get around it that the mattress cover fails. So the vertical plastic skirt corrects that weakness of the mattress cover by keeping bedbugs from coming out the sides of the bed, and hang to the bed sheets and up on to you while you sleep at night. Bedbugs can’t obviously cannot get through the bed cover, and they cannot get through the plastic sides (skirt) either. The seam joining the two is also sealed by the duct tape. With only a space of one inch above the floor, no bedbug can climb down and try to make it to the edge of the plastic without falling down to the ground where the traps are (or will be) As soon as you will have that skirt in place, all bedbug bites will immediately stop and for good. You will not get another bedbug bite again. With the shield on the bed (your bed cover becomes a shield with the plastic skirt), bedbugs cannot molt and the bedbugs stop growing. And bedbugs cannot lay eggs either; they absolutely need blood to do that. But the best is that they cannot last longer than the shield and the traps and bedbugs stuck under the shield die of starvation. And all is possible because of that plastic skirt. Doesn’t it make you wonder that bed cover manufacturers do not know about that? With a shield on your bed and CO2 traps on the floor, you will be able to sleep soundly and without a bite again. In a few weeks, all bedbugs will be dead, but it is better to leave the shield in place longer than any bedbug can live and that is three months. No it is not a year as mattress encasement manufacturers say. If you found only one bedbug every night or so, you are lucky, you are at the beginning of an infestation that hasn’t matured yet and before a colony matures most bedbugs if not all of them are still in the bed. The signs of a mature infestation is multiple bedbug bites every day and stating to see round red bedbugs crawling blindly on the wall during the day and that is when the real bedbug nightmare begins. A light (beginning) infestation can be cleared out in a matter of weeks without all the hassle of scattered bedbugs in the room. In a light infestation it is the shield that catches most bedbugs and starves them to death. Meanwhile Charaf sleeps soundly in her bed at night without getting a single bite. Peace of mind. Now we have all the time in the world to make the traps (if not already done) and relax until there are no more bedbugs. Only one last thing is missing, a calendar where you could align the days without bites and get a long series of zero which will end by your own declaration:”I’m bedbug free!” Have fun and enjoy your victory because with a shield and traps, you already won.

@@JnSavedByTheBell I'ma try this

@__ Bertram Moshier Hi, nice to hear from you. 1) The Yeast and sugar mixture that produces CO2 lasts 2-3 weeks. 2) The water has to be at body temperature (lukewarm or 100°F/40°C) only to make the mix in order to start the fermentation reaction. Once it is done, you leave it and it cools down at room temperature, keeping on producing CO2 until all the sugar is gone and you are left with an 8-12% alcohol homemade brew. It is the same recipe as a poor’s man wine but we are only interested by its CO2 production. 3) Since making this video, I shared the knowledge of making CO2 bedbug traps with over 50 000 people, made 13 other videos on the subject of bedbugs, built a website which is consulted by 200-300 people a day, got the trap known in 70 countries and spend 8-12 hours a day answering questions and getting them bedbug free. You see, the bedbug trap works, it is not only a monitor as the Industry use CO2 bedbug traps but the most efficient and inexpensive way to prevent and get rid of bedbugs. The CO2 Bedbug Trap along with the Bedbug Shield stops any bedbug infestation before it can get to dramatic proportions and make you spend hundreds of dollars in pesticide costs and problems. People who have such a method do not care if they inadvertently get a bedbug or not, this method catches the very first bedbug even before it can lay an egg, it is a sentinel that catches the mother of all bedbugs. The secret is simple; it keeps bedbugs from being able to feed. Why do people have bedbugs? No blame is given, but if people have bedbugs it is because they feed them. So are you worried that you got a bedbug home? Don’t wait until you have a fully matured colony to find out (100-500 bedbugs) and consult my website to learn more about the CO2 Bedbug Trap. The bedbug trap is free, the only costs are in the materials that you will find locally under 10$. Then go back to see your friends and show them what you did, they will be happy to have you as a friend. Find the trap with Google, keywords “The CO2 Bedbug Trap” or by typing “julesnoise.com” in your omnibox. Knowledge is the key JulesNoise

Sounds like he used some groovy napalm.

@__Jim Humphry__The dry ice procedure kills everything that is inside the plastic bag. CO2 is totally harmless when it is in an open space, we breathe in oxygen 12 times a minute and exhale CO2 from the moment we are born to our last breath, CO2 is part of the cycle of life. But in enclosed spaces, CO2 accumulates in the bottom of the bag and pushes out oxygen through the tiny openings we make with a needle at the top or highest point of the plastic bag. CO2, a normally invisible harmless gas comes in very cold solid state called dry ice when it is compressed and cooled down to minus 112°F. Placed inside a sealed plastic bag, dry ice sublimates, meaning it turns directly into gas without becoming liquid, and fills the bag, pushing all the oxygen out. When all the dry ice is "melted', there is no more oxygen inside the bag, only pure CO2. Every single creature on the planet needs oxygen to survive, insects are no different. This pure CO2 becomes lethal inside the plastic bag, remaining totally safe outside this plastic bag, no effect. But inside the bag anything alive cannot breathe anymore. No matter if it is bedbugs, fleas, gnats. ants, mites, roaches, gnats, spiders or anything else that moves, CO2 kills everything inside the bag by suffocating them to death. CO2 is well known to asphixiate anything inside an enclosed space. Suicides by carbon dioxide are common in all parts of the world, it is also the main cause of death of fire-fighters. It is called the silent killer. Being aware how to use it to kill insects makes it totally safe to handle. Inside the plastic bag it is lethal because creatures cannot breathe. Outside the bag, it is totally harmless and is a life-giver. If you are fighting brown recluse spiders, dry ice will not be of much use to you. Spiders will not stay in the bed and killing the few ones that might be in it will not take care of any spider outside the plastic bag. If the dry ice procedure works well on bedbugs it is because bedbugs stay in the bed where you can enclose them in plastic, spiders are different and do not make their harborage in the bed and mattress. To fight spiders, the best non-poisonous method is steam. All insects die at relatively low temperatures. Bedbugs start to die at 113°F, spiders might endure slightly higher temperatures but no insect survives temperatures of 120-130°F. First start with thorough vacuuming to eliminate most of the insects and their harborages, and then apply steam to all cracks and crevices where insects you missed might be hiding. It works for all insects.

@__Henry Howgs Hi,The only possible damage from dry ice is close proximity to other items inside the plastic "bag". A few inches away from the dry ice, the temperature drops down to a whopping minus 70°F , quickly getting to slightly below room temperature 6-12 inches away. The freezing cold is only at very close proximity. You can test it by handling dry ice with gloves which is highly recommended to protect you from frost bites. So if you place the dry ice on the floor (or in a metal container) and in or on a piece of insulating material or a folded shower towel, a space away from the items you want to clear out of bedbugs, there will be no damage whatsoever to the items inside the plastic bag that gets only slightly cool. You can use the same technique with most everyting. Electronics are easily cleared of bedbugs with this dry ice technique (keeping the dry ice from making contact), stored away items that might harbor bedbugs can be treated and re-used safely again the next day Dry ice in a plastic bag is a bedbug killer that needs no pestiucide, no special training and causes no damage with that simple precaution. Yes,dry ice kills bedbug eggs as well as all the other stages of bedbug growth. Bedbugs first die from CO2 suffocation or oxygen depravation, but the CO2 levels keep rising even if bedbugs are already dead, until the CO2 concentrations reach almost 99% (bedbugs suffocate at 30%). This is due to the fact that dry ice is pure CO2 in solid form and when it sublimates into gas, it stays and accumulate at the bottom of the bag, pushing all the air out from the only opening on top of the plastic bag. Eggs do not die of suffocation but of CO2 poisoning which seeps through their permeable shells. At near pure concentrations, CO2 is lethal on contact bedcause it draws oxygen from the insects and also their eggs. CO2 and its incomplete form CO is known as the silent killer. It is lethat only inside the plastic bag. As soon as you open the plastic, it dissipate and mixes with the air and the concentrations almost immediately drop down to normal, totally harmless since it is the leveles that we breathe in and out twelve times a minute and during our whole life. Let it be known, concentrated CO2 kills bedbugs and their eggs.

There are many ways to make a bedbug shield, depending on the bed you have. For a mattress directly on the floor, look at julesnoise.com/2013/06/20/50/ to see the one best for you. It is relatively easy and inexpensive (about a few dollars for the plastic and a roll of duct tape). Then you can make traps to catch the bedbugs while you sleep without a single bedbub bite. Within a few weeks there are no more bedbugs around and you are bedbug-free

@__ Charaf Lahbiki ___ It is important to leave an inch. It allows bedbugs from the room to get under the bed and be attracted by traps. It is also a guarantee that bedbugs cannot swing from the inside to the outside and then maybe succeed to get to the top. No, bedbugs do not bend that way and always fall down when they reach the edge of the plastic and right next to the traps on the floor. That plastic must be as long as possible, to ever keep the bed sheets from touching the sides of the bed and make a bridge bedbugs can use to get to the top, usually from mid-height of the mattress down to one inch above the floor (I like to call it a toe space),. The plastic is also important to keep the CO2 in the glasses of the traps from being blown out by possible drafts in the room. The plastic is like a skirt around the whole bed. The fabric fitted sheet on top keeps bedbugs from being able to directly climb up and the plastic skirt keeps bedbugs from being able to get out sideways and hang on to the bed sheets which are a direct highway for bedbugs. Later, it will be possible to make changes to the skirt and make it look less obtrusive (translation: look better), The plastic is not a work of art, it is only meant to stop and starve bedbugs, but some people with imagination made some really interesting traps, still working like a bedbug trap but looking like a flower vase. Someone else used shower curtains to make her bed skirt, matching colors and motifs to fit the as if it is part of it. The funniest one I’ve seen is a miniature Bedbug Hotel placed in the hall of an apartment building.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Pat Des_________ “Day 2 with not one bed bug in the trap I made. Thinking maybe I did it wrong or maybe the yeast is no good. Going to buy new yeast today & try again! It says7-8 grams yeast added to the lukewarm water & 2 cups of sugar.” JulesNoise_________ Not catching any bedbugs with the trap can depend on many different things. • It could be the recipe; it could be how we make it. • It could be how the trap is built and where it is placed on the floor. Here is the link to the Recipe: julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe9.jpg. Maybe you could compare how you made your mix and the ways to see if it is working or not on the same. If you had bedbug bites all over your body everywhere, you have a large colony somewhere. The places where we rest or sleep are the places where we get bit the most, that’s when bedbugs come out of hiding to bite us, and they bite only when we are not moving. Bedbugs are mostly in the bed and in the couch, they tend to stay close to us and hide mostly we rest or sleep. Our beds and couches are their nursery. Taking care of these two places takes care of the whole infestation. CO2 bedbug traps on the floor and under a bedbug shield is like a magnet for bedbugs, a magnet that catch and suffocate them and also make them starve to death. There is more about these two places below with your antique bed and the vapor plastic. You probably will need 8 traps to cover the both places where you get bedbug bites. Using traps similar to the one above (Easiest and Fastest Bedbug Trap ever) allows you to make four traps with a 2L mixture. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Pat Des_________ “How full should you fill the bottles? I didn't fill them full to close to the top as I thought the yeast would rise & fill the bottle to the top. I filled them a little over 3/4 full” JulesNoise_________ Your hunch was right. We need a space on top of the brew to collect the CO2, we also do not want the bottles to run over and make a mess. A little over ¾ full is good and will give you enough mixture for five traps instead of four. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Pat Des_________ “I am buying vapor also today & will give that a go” JulesNoise_________ Vapor is good. It is usually thick enough to resist wear and tear and does not fold and wrinkles like other plastic do. The smoothest it is, the more difficult it is for bedbugs to climb on it. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Pat Des_________ “I heard they don't like tea tree oil & to rub that on my bed” JulesNoise_________ Tree tea oil is a weak repellent for bedbugs. It will push them away further than they normally do but it will not stop them from coming back. Their hunger is greater than the discomfort of a oil. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Pat Des_________ “My bed is an antique bed with feet & I have not used the box spring since the day I bought my new mattress. My son added a large piece of plywood to replace the box spring so it is not so high up for me. We raise the mattress often to see if there is any bed bugs & nothing” JulesNoise_________ Great bed, we will simply make it bedbug-proof. A large piece of plywood and no box spring makes it easy to install a permanent bedbug shield. We can use the frame of the bed to make a barrier that no bedbug can get through: • Cut a piece of plastic to fit inside the frame and place it flat on the plywood. • Seal the plastic to the inside of the frame, leaving no holes bedbugs could get through. • On the outside of the frame and all around the bed, fix and adjust a plastic skirt hanging down about one inch above the floor. This skirt is there to keep bedbugs from reaching the bed sheets sideways while the plastic inside the frame of the bed keeps bedbugs from being able to climb directly. With the skirt around the bed and the plastic on the plywood as a shield, no bedbugs can get to you while you sleep soundly at night. As for the parts of the bed which are above the shield (headboard and footboard), they can be cleared of bedbugs by applying two coats of liquid wax that will entomb any bedbugs or eggs hiding in the joints and cracks. The wax will fill the joints and the cracks, bedbugs will be buried by the wax and will die within a few hours. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Pat Des_________ “Thought maybe it wasn't bed bugs but read up on it of how they bite in patterns of 3 & that is exactly how it looks all over my body” JulesNoise_________ We cannot know if it was bedbugs or not until we find a specimen, but very few insects leave bites all over the body. No matter if it was bedbugs or not, the shield will stop just about any crawling insect, except the flying ones and the ones to small to detect with the naked eye. Either way you will not lose anything as the bedbug shield can catch and trap the very first bedbug if you ever bring one home inadvertently. The bedbug shield is permanent bedbug protection and will stop any bedbug from making an infestation. You will never be bothered by bedbugs again. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Pat Des_________ “I surely appreciate all the help you are suggesting to me. I will keep you updated to how it is going. » JulesNoise_________ This is a long reply, please be patient. In my next email to you, I will show you how to make a bedbug shield for a couch. Once the shield will be done, we will then work on the traps and make them work. Then we will talk again about the bedbug barriers. First start with the shield of the bed, it is the most important part because it stops all bedbug bites at once. If we do not feed the bedbug, it cannot molt and cannot lay eggs, and most importantly, it kills bedbugs by starving them to death and that is what we desire. Take good care of yourself, starting by eliminating bedbugs JulesNoise_________ °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

@__ Pat Des __ I forgot a detail, the mattress. If you make a shield that goes directly on the plywood inside the bed frame, the mattress may have some bedbugs in it. A mattress can be cleared of bedbugs using 91% rubbing alcohol. It is a laborious process that cannot guarantee that there will not be any surviving bedbugs. Instead and much easier to do is to use two contour sheet, one on each side of the mattress and sealed together all around the sides of the mattress with duct tape. The two contour sheets taped together will form a sealed bag around the mattress, a mattress encasement. That is a very comfortable way of making your bedbug shield. You will be able to use your bed without worrying about bedbugs, heal from your actual bites and in 2-3 bedbugs there will be hardly any traces of bedbugs. The shield on the bed will be permanent and you will never be bothered by bedbugs again. JulesNoise

Metal headboard and frames are excellent deterent for bedbugs, Bedbugs do not jump or fly, they are are climbers. A slick and slippery vertical surface will stop any climber and make it fall down to the ground. it is how a small glass works as a pitfall for bedbugs. Easy to climb on the outsibe and impossible to climb out from the inside. It is true for insects and for any other creature on earth, including humans. Pitfalls are the oldest traps in the world. To make a metal headboard and frame too slippery for bedbugs to get a grip and climb up into your bed, all you need is simple and inexpensive baby powder. Brush the legs of the bed with a very light coat of baby powder and bedbugs will not be able to climb in the bedbwith you and feed of your warm blood. Bedbug barriers is what you need and you can make your own with your wits ans two good hands. Here is a bedbug barrier looks like: julesnoise.com/2014/05/21/bedbug-barriers/ Notice live bedbug falling down to the floor where we put the traps? There is no need to cover the whole bed, rubbing alcohol can easily take of any bedbug or egg on the upper parts of a metal bed. The shield is what will stop any and every bedbug from being able to feed. If you can clean the metal headboard and frame out of bedbugs with alcool and make it too slippery for bedbugs to be able to climb on it, then the only needed to do is to cover the mattress with a homemade encasement. Use a regular contour sheet to cover the top of the mattress and the plastic dust sheet to encase the sides and bottom of the mattress. You could cover the whole mattress with the plastic dust sheet and it would work, but a fabric contour sheet is just as good as plastic to encase bedbugs since they do not dig or chew but is much more comfortable that sweaty and slippery plastic. Alcohol to clear the metal bed frame and headboard, a homemade mattress encasement to stop all bedbug bites at once, baby powder to keep any other bed from being able to climb in the bed and CO2 traps on the floor to catch hungry bedbugs that might be somewhere else in the room, and you will be all set up and protected against bedbugs. You also might be interested to find out about bedbug barriers, simple things we can do to make a room and even a whole apartment bedbug-proof. Bedbug barriers are at: julesnoise.com/2014/05/21/bedbug-barriers/ Do that and learn well, you will get rid of bedbugs and hopefully you will tell someone else how you did it. I've been fighting bedbugs for over six years and ther are bedbug traps in all five continents, and we all win. People taking care of bedbug all by themselves is the solution to bedbug eradication. I do not wish you good luck. You do not need luck to eliminate bedbugs. All you need is two good hands and a sharp mind. Life is good.

Covering the whole bed with plastic dust makes it imprevious to bedbugs. Any bedbug that might be under this plastic in any part of the bed will not be able to reach you and to feed from your warm blood. Covering the whole bed is a bedbug shield, an impenetrable barrier between you and those disgusting parasitic insects. If it was mosquitoes, wouldn't you put a screen in the window? Bedbugs do not fly and feed mostly in your bed at night, so you put a barrier between you and them, a shield! And put traps on the floor under the bed to catch them when they try to feed. To get rid of bedbugs, you must stop to unwillingly feeding them. It is not a big secret, take their food away and they will die of starvation. I do not mind more questions, I'm looking forward to them. Whatever we share on this video will help somebody else. But first we will stop all bites with a shield and then we will cacht any live bedbugs that might come out of hiding for a blood meal. Bedbugs are looking for blood, we will offer them what looks like a meal, traps and pitfalls, barriers they can't get around, starvation for bedbugs that dare to come near us. Your son never did anything to deserve bedbugs and with you help we will take care of that. Are you willing? I am not a scammer or a profiter, I'm the bedbug master. Regards JulesNoise

It is not a mosquito.It's definitely bedbugs as I kill one again when I'm cleaning.I will make the trap after I will finish my sheild..Thank you for your reply.

I know it is not mosquitoes. I only used it to show what works with another insect and it is the same principle for another insect that does not fly, we use a "screen" or barrier to stop them from biting. You got it right. make the shield first, and then the traps.

@__Henry Howgs Sorry about the delay. The plastic sides tied up above the bed does not have to be tight, in fact the dry ice procedure needs an opening at the highest point possible. Tied enough is making sure that the plastic will not fall down, tied too much is seal-tight. It works like this, dry ice is the solid form of CO2 and it turns into its gas form without becoming liquid, it is called sublimation. CO2 in gas form is heavier than air, so it always goes down and accumulates at the bottom of the plastic. Air present in the plastic actually floats on top of the CO2 and as the CO2 volume increases, air gets pushed out of the plastic from the top. The opening at the top of the plastic can be as small as the size of a little finger or as large as the size of the whole bed. What you are doing is very similar to the pitfall of the CO2bedbug trap; that glass or container bedbugs fall into without being able to get out. It is the same principle only on a larger scale. Bedbugs cannot breathe in pure CO2, and that is what is in both the glass pitfalls and the plastic of the dry ice procedure. A few hours in pure CO2 kill bedbugs, first by suffocation and then by CO2 poisoning. (CO2 poisoning actually takes oxygen directly from the bodies of the bedbugs and from their eggs) A small open cooler is perfect to put dry ice in. Bedbugs die before all the dry ice has “melted”, usually 8-10 hours. I suggest to let them soaks in it for a few extra hours. A dry ice procedure could be done in 12 hours, I suggest 24 hours only to be fool proof. You will see it work as the plastic fills with a whitish cloud. At maximum the whole bag will be filled with that white fog and some of it will escape from the opening on top. The white cloud disappears when the dry ice is gone. If you used transparent plastic, you might see a few dead bedbugs who tried to escape but were stuck inside the plastic. Your questions are okay, they give you the information you need and that’s the whole point of my videos and website. Henry Howgs is welcome here. Take pictures and keep me informed of your results Best regards JulesNoise

WTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. I saw no dry ice in the trap video

teodor mihailov Yes.The bottles are only containers, the yeast and sugar iquid is the mix that produces CO2 and attract bedbugs into small glass pitfalls they cannot get out of. Here is the recipe: The Recipe ___ julesnoise.com/2014/02/11/30/ And the shield that stops all bites at once: Bedbug Shields ___ julesnoise.com/2013/06/20/50/ Want to get rid of bedbugs? Use this. It is not a scam or a pipe dream, there are CO2 bedbug traps in 142 countries around the world. This is the end of bedbugs! Need some help to make your own traps? Respond to this and We will help you to become bedbug-free JulesNoise

@__Maria Gross__It is best to use four traps, one behind each leg of the bed. Since the recipe to make CO2 is for a 2L mixture using one (7-8grams) enveloppe of yeast, you can divide that 2L mix in four 500ml bottles and you will have four traps instead of a 2L one. If you are fighting bedbugs, CO2 traps will catch bedbugs on the floor and coming from anywhere in the room. Bedbugs come out of hiding when they are hungry and go towards the bed where you sleep at night. It is those bedbugs that the traps will catch. However there also are bedbugs already in the bed and those bedbugs will not go back down to the floor in between blood meals. Those bedbugs can easily reach you and bite you because they already are in the bed. To stop bedbugs already in the bed, you need a bedbug shield. A bedbug shield is an impenetrable barrier placed between the bugs and ourselves so they cannot reach you and feed on you. By placing a bedbug shield on the bed, you immediately stop all bedbug bites. It is easy to make your own bedbug shield, all you need is a regular fabric contour sheet and a long strip of plastic, about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long. First fix the plastic strip to the sides of the mattress letting it hang down all around the bed, like a skirt, and adjusted to leave a space of about one inch before it touches the floor. Once the plastic skirt is in place, place the fabric contour sheet directly on the mattress and seal them together with duct tape. You now have a bed cover that will stop all and any crawling insect from being able to reach you. Here is an example on how to make a bedbug shield: The Bedbug Shield Bedbugs that cannot feed can not molt and grow Bedbugs that cannot feed can not lay eggs and multiply Bedbugs that cannot feed simply can not survive and slowly die of starvation. With the combination of traps on the floor and a bedbug shield on the bed all bites stop at once and you eliminate bedbugs evert time they come out of hiding. Bedbugs starve to death under a shield and they suffocate in the CO2 filled small glasses of the traps. Bedbug traps and shield are the least expensive means to eliminate bedbugs, yet it is the most efficient. The trap has not been designed to make money from you but only to get rid of bedbugs. It is all yours and other than the materials you can find at home or in local stores, it is free. Trust the trap and like hundreds of thousands of people before you, you will be bedbug-free. JulesNoise

@__Kevinj11798__You can make four traps with a one gallon container. Run four rubber tubings from the gallon container and into four small glass pitfalls. Glass pitfalls are small one ounce shot glasses that you place behind each leg of the bed becuse the legs of the bed are the major paths bedbugs use to climb up in the bed. Do not use baking soda in the yeast and sugar mixture because it will slow down and stop the fermentation process. Here is the recipe to make a 2 liters mixture (julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe9.jpg). You need to double the recipe to fill a one gallon container. Traps work on the floor to catch bedbugs hiding anywhere in the room, but traps do not catch bedbugs which already are in the bed. To stop and neutralize those bedbugs, you need a shield on the bed. Here is how you can make a bedbug shield: The Bedbug Shield. A bedbug shield stop all bedbug bites at once and keep bedbugs from being able to reach you and bite you while you sleep. Since 95% of all bedbug bites are at night, the shield effectively stop bedbugs from feeding and bedbugs without your blood to feed on die of starvation while you do not get a single bite. Learn more about traps, CO2 generators on the floor and shield on the bed at The Bedbug Shield. Knowledge is the key to eliminbate bedbugs. It is the most efficient and sure way to get rid of bedbugs without getting a single bite and without paying a poison-pusher to get poisoned. It is a DIY method that has worked for hundreds of thousands of people for about 20$ using materials found at home and in local stores, nobody makes any money from you by eliminating bedbugs by yourself.

@__Driveslowly Technically, legal pesticides do not last more than three months, so there is no more poison in the house, only degraded residues. The life span of a bedbug varies with the temperature and the bedbug’s activity: • A dormant bedbug can last up to three months without feeding at 68°F. (scientific studies) • A dormant bedbug can last up to eight months without feeding in hibernation at near freezing temperature 32°F. (like all insects can) • An active bedbug will starve to death in 3-4 weeks in temperature of 70-90°F. (fields tests) • A bedbug is most active at our body heat temperature of 98,6°F. (powerful bedbug attractant) So there is little chance that there are any surviving bedbugs in the house. Is there a way to be sure? No, not even a sniffing dog could find the left-over bedbugs if any, a sniffing dog cannot tell the difference between a dead bedbug from a live one, they smell the same. A monitor to try to catch any bedbugs left? There is lots of that, passive and active traps of all designs and all prices, most of them not working. Bedbug paraphernalia is a huge market. Anything else? Yes, the CO2 Bedbug Trap. The trap is a long lasting CO2 generator, a lure for bedbugs. CO2 is part of our breath and the other powerful bedbug attractant. Bedbugs follow CO2 to find the source of their food when they are hungry, that’s how they always find us, so yes, the trap can be used as a monitor. Unfortunately, you would still be uncertain as any bedbug still alive would not pounce on the trap as soon as you put it there, to get catch dormant bedbugs, you must first wake them up. How do we do that? By human presence, body heat and CO2. Scary, isn’t it? But that’s what everybody has to face in a bedbug threat. Don’t worry, the bedbug trap is about elimination and prevention. You can move back any time you want with a few precautions: • Make the whole house proof against bedbugs with simple bedbug barriers. • Make the couches and beds impossible for bedbugs to climb in. • Make CO2 bedbug sentinels and place them directly in the path of bedbugs. Bedbug barriers are made with common inexpensive scotch tape (the clear and hard shiny surface one) brushed with talcum powder. Place a long horizontal strip of scotch tape above the baseboards of the wall to keep bedbugs from being able to climb up. Any bedbug that would try will immediately fall back down to the floor Couches and beds can be made impossible to climb in for bedbugs by using the same barriers around the legs and/or above. The same could be done with any other piece of furniture, closets, or any other places where you do not want bedbugs to be able to go into. CO2 bedbug sentinels are bedbug traps used at half strength to last twice as long as the regular recipe and are meant to catch whatever few bedbugs there might be left or any new bedbug out of nowhere that always begin an infestation. That’s elimination. When you catch that very first bedbug, the mother of all bedbugs, you catch the whole infestation before it has a chance to start. That’s prevention. If you feel scared at the beginning, install the supreme bedbug barrier on the bed, the bedbug shield. Even in the worst infestation the shield stops all bite and starves bedbug to death. Since you will move in with a bed clear of bedbugs, the shield can be put under the mattress with only the plastic hanging sides showing. No bedbug ever could get through a shield. There you go, that’s what I would do to your house so that you can use it again without any worry if there are bedbugs still in it or not. Get rid of them if you ever find one, the sentinels are there exactly for that. That’s how good the CO2 Bedbug Trap is. J’ai voulu garder ma réponse en anglais pour les autres lecteurs, mais j’ai apprécié votre courte conclusion dans ma langue maternelle. À bientôt Julien

JnSavedByTheBell Thank you for all the information. Now it's more than a year that no one lives there. it's a place i'm renovating the weekend. renovation almost done. last month i saw a bug on the wall. it's was a adult quite big. it's was pretty flat, but still some trace of blood on his belly. catch it, put it in a bag, put in my car for a hour, show to my wife. it die while i was driving home. the heat of the car in summer is really powerful to kill them. i let you know if there's stil left. in a few weeks i'm moving in.

@__Stewart Harvey-Wilson__ Let's see. Your recipe must be adjusted to your needs. You are using only half the sugar with twice the amount of yeast of a normal formula, which speeds up fermentation. It will ferment quickly and your mixture will last only a few days. Yeast eats sugar, so there is a balance where there is enough sugar in the water to feed yeast for 2-3 weeks. For your next mix, double your quantity of sugar and cut the quantity of the yeast in half. __ (Two cups or 480 grams of white sugar with only one tablespoon of yeast in 1.75 liters of lukewarm water [body temperature], CO2 production should last 2-3 weeks) A newly mixed mixture is light tan colored and cloudy. We can see tiny bubbles forming in the brew and slowly rise to the top where they form a small ring on top of the liquid. When there is a lot of sugar and a lot of yeast, that small ring of bubbles foams up and sugary water gets in the glass via the drinking straws. (ratio of yeast and sugar in too little lukewarm water) julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe5.jpg The easiest way to know if your trap is working, is to take the end tube of the straw and put it in another glass half filled with water. The CO2 produced by the 2L bottle will come out at the end of the straw as it should, and make a larger bubble in the glass of water every 1-3 seconds. When the mixture gets weak, bubbles may take up to 5-7 seconds to form while the brew turns clear like lemonade. When that happens, you need to do a remix, (discard and rinse). Another clue is the smell that comes from the end of the straw. At first it smells like baked bread and when the fermentation gets completed it slightly smells like alcohol. (8-12%) That will tell you that you made your mixture the way you prefer to do it and that the CO2 is going directly into the small glass pitfalls you specially made for these nasty unwanted guests. Some people prefer a stronger trap, one that produces a lot of CO2 quickly. The recipe for strong fast CO2 production is lots of food (sugar) for the hungry sugar eaters (yeast). Yeast eats sugar and turns it into alcohol and CO2. We are only interested in CO2 because it is one of the only two lures bedbugs react to. But do they ever react to it. To them, the CO2 Bedbug Trap is the promise of a meal. They always follow the CO2 contained in our breath to find us. There are strong traps and there are weak traps. Strong traps feel needed when we discover we have bedbugs, everybody wants something that will catch them fast. I call those flash traps, making a lot of CO2 quickly but lasting only a few days. Weak traps are longer lasting. A weak trap is a bedbug sentinel that can detect and catch a single bedbug before it has a chance to bite us. Being weak (half a table spoon of yeast with 500 grams of white sugar gives yeast enough food to eat for 4-5 weeks. So a sentinel can last over a month and protect you by luring the very first bedbug into a CO2 bedbug trap. Imagine, something that can catch the very first bedbug? Do you think it is possible? It happens all the time with some of my correspondent who lives in bedbug-prone areas. One day while renewing the trap, they see a lone dead bedbug at the bottom of the small glass pitfall. A single bedbug, how about that? Never had a bite. Prevention is what the bedbug trap is all about. Keep them from feeding and it will destroy them. Without your blood, bedbugs cannot survive. Starve them to death! Bedbugs deserve no less, they are parasites. Any insect that thrives on my blood will have my blood taken away from these annoying blood-suckers. The Shield is the most powerful defense against bedbugs. It stops all bites at once. The Bedbug Shield I would like to follow you, I like tinkerers and I think you are one of us, people who do things by themselves and get rewarded from their own efforts. The traps, the shield and the barriers are easy to do. It takes a few hours to set them up but it pays off by getting you rid of bedbugs right down to the last one and gives you peace of mind, at last. There is no cleaning, sorting out to do, putting everything in plastic bags, going through a pesticide treatment and arguing endlessly whose fault it is and who should pay for it. Paying to get poisoned of all things! There is a way out, and it is by taking care of your bedbugs yourself. Bedbugs thrive, grow and multiply on our blood, why don’t we stop that? It’s easy, all it needs is sugar, yeast, plastic, tubing or straws, tape and whatever bottle or container that fits our needs. Keep bedbugs away from you and do not give them any chance to feed. Bedbug traps, bedbug shield and bedbug barriers will take care of your bedbugs and eliminate them right down to the last one while you sleep soundly without a bite. There are probably hundreds of thousands who have made their own bedbug trap by now and it keeps growing. Welcome into a bedbug free world. JulesNoise

Its based on how much sugar you add to how long it will last

@@chronojeremy No where did it show any sugar!!! What else did it not show.I can't imagine bed bugs liking sugar water.

Hello Charaf Lahbiki, Don’t worry about asking a lot of questions, that’s what I’m here for. The more you know about the bedbugs and how to get rid of it, the better off you will be. It is a simple insect that leaves us perplexed because we do not know why it is so elusive and why it keeps coming for our blood. I made the trap using those behaviors, using their strengths and weaknesses against it. The greatest strength of a bedbug is its ability to hide, nobody can find bedbugs once they have invaded our space, most people cannot even recognize them when they see them; the younger ones are very small and nearly transparent, often mistaken for a very tiny drop of dew. Adults are easier to spot, reddish-brown and the size of an apple seed, in the mind of most people that is what a bedbug looks like but there are five other sizes that most people are not aware of. But we do not need an entomology course to get rid of bedbugs, once you discover that you have bedbugs, the first thing to do is what we should do with all other species of annoying insects, block them and keep them from feeding. It works with all insects and the bedbug is no different. As an example, if you get mosquito bites, the first thing you will do is to put a net over the bed so you can sleep peacefully without a bite, or even better, put a screen in the window and no mosquito will be able to bite you. It is the same thing with the bedbug, but since it does not fly but crawls, the net should be placed directly over the bed instead of above it. I call it a bedbug shield, an impenetrable barrier placed between the bedbugs and ourselves. With a bedbugs shield, no bedbug can reach us and cannot bite us. By taking their only source of food away from them, bedbugs can only survive for a few weeks and at most three months. All we have to do is to make the shield on the bed and wait for bedbugs to starve to death while we sleep soundly without a single bite. It works every time, it is a law of nature. Yes, you can assume it is working, it did work for tens of thousands of people so far and the demands are increasing all the time because those who used the traps and the shield tell others. I have an army of bedbug-free people that you are actually joining by getting rid of your bedbugs, and when you will be satisfied, I know you will also tell others. Again, that’s what I’m here for, to spread this knowledge how to deal with bedbugs all around the world. So you see, I do not mind your questions, I welcome them. I’m the voice of reason in this mad world of the miserable bedbug. My only goal is to eradicate them and once this knowledge will be known far and wide, the bedbug will not be the threat it is today. One by one, we will eliminate the bedbug. I’m particularly protective of babies, we do not raise kids to be food for parasites, no more than you should be. The only safe way to get rid of bedbugs is to keep them from feeding. • Without our blood, the bedbug cannot molt and grow. • Without our blood, the bedbug cannot lay eggs and multiply. • Without our blood, the bedbug simply cannot survive and die of starvation. I would like to follow your progress and remain available if you have any difficulties or other questions. Please describe how you will make the shield for your baby’s bed (or crib) and I could point out the easy ways to do it or its weaknesses, if any. I will make that video about the wall barriers and explain why it works but most importantly, how we can use it to make any place impervious to bedbugs and prevent any future infestation. With a bedbug shield, bedbug traps and bedbug barriers, you will be armed to the teeth against bedbugs and you will never have bedbugs again. If you want to feed someone for a day, give him a fish. But if you want to feed him his whole life, show him how to fish. With all my respect JulesNoise

Hey did you get yours taken care of I need advice

@__Michele Rowe__ ...what do you do for the dog that doesn't sleep in the bed with you? Good question, it will show you the behavior of bedbugs and what you will be able to do to get rid of them. Animals are naturally protected by their fur against bedbugs. Bedbugs are flat oblong insects that cannot crawl through hair, their body unlike fleas simply does not fit between strands of hair, no more than their filament pincer hooks at the end of their legs can hold on to that hair, they simply are not made that way. Bedbugs feed only on humans because we are mostly hairless. Their stylet fascicule (the part of their mouth they draw blood with) is also not long enough to go through fabric or clothes, so bedbugs feed only on bare skin. And bedbugs are also different than fleas in the fact that they do not stay on their hosts once they have completed their blood meal. When a bedbug bites, it stays very alert to any sign of movement and quickly leaves as soon as they are fed, to go and hide somewhere nearby and safely digest, either to molt or to incubate eggs. Bedbugs cannot infest a kennel for the simple reason that they cannot feed in it. Even if a bedbug ended up in the kennel, since it would not be able to bite the dog, it would not be able to feed. That bedbug would simply die of starvation as they always do. Now, isn't that something interesting to know? Yes, it happens all the time, we can make bedbugs die by starvation just like the dog can. All we have to do is to take their food (our warm blood) away from them. The dog does not feed them, he is protected from bites and there are no live bedbug in his kennel, but bedbugs feed on you as you killed about 20 of them when you changed the sheets. That's good information, it tells you where bedbugs are and what to do about it. If bedbugs are in the bed, what you need is a impenetrable barrier between the bedbugs and yourself so they will not be able to reach you and will not be able to bite you. It is called a bedbug shield and it stops all bedbug bites at once. It gives you the same protection the dog naturally has. Bedbugs that can't feed will die of starvation. Here is how to make your own bedbug shield. You will need a long strip of plastic about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long. You can get one (2 ml painter's plastic) at a local hardware store or you can make your own using inexpensive shower curtains such as found in dollar stores. Use clear wrapping tape to join pieces together. Once your long strip of plastic is made, wrap it like a skirt all around the bed, leaving a space of about one inch above the floor. Attach the long strip of plastic to the sides of the mattress using small pieces of duct tape. Then, cover the mattress with one of your regular fabric contour sheets, and using white duct tape, seal the contour sheet to the top side of this plastic skirt. This will make an imprevious barrier covering the whole bed that bedbugs will not be able to get through since they cannot bite, dig or chew through the fabric of the contour sheet and they can't go through plastic sides. The only way in or out of that impassable cover is by going down to the floor, and that is where we place our CO2 bedbug traps. What else is there to do? That's it, there isn't anything more to do, we simply forget about bedbugs and carry on with our life while bedbugs get under the shield and into the traps all by themselves. You do not see them or any signs of bedbugs anymore, clearing the room out of bedbugs when they come out of hiding at night and get stuck under the shield. And they stay there without any chance to ever reach you and feed. Bedbugs? Who cares, they are dying. See what happens to bedbugs that can't feed: Bedbug Hunger Bubbles ___ julesnoise.com/2014/02/05/40/, it makes them suffer and dehydrates them to death. No blood to feed on, that's how you permanently get rid of bedbugs. Boric acid doesn't do anything to bedbugs. You do not need to put anything in the trap pitfall. The glass is full of CO2 which cuts off the air to the bedbugs at the bottom of the glass. Bedbugs usually suffocate within a few hours. Here is an example how to make a bedbug shield: The Bedbug Shield ___ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Wy-ry66A7U.html and bedbug shields for different shapes and sizes of beds: Bedbug Shields ___ julesnoise.com/2013/06/20/50/ how to make bedbug barriers: Bedbug Barriers - Stop All Bedbugs and Eliminate Them! ___ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I5sFz9jC-nQ.html and useful information about bedbugs The Life Cycle of a Bedbug ___ julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/bedbug-life-cycle.jpg The growth of an infestation ___ julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/bedbug-infestation-graph-1664x2200-copie.jpg You are going to sleep well tonight.

@__ Charaf Lahbiki ___ About 2-3 weeks. At first, the mixture is cloudy and light tan colored with tiny bubbles slowly rising in the mixture and forming larger bubbles on top of the brew. It will smell like baked bread. Those bubbles contain the CO2 we need to attract bedbugs. Near the end of the fermentation, there are lot less bubbles forming and the liquid slowly turns clear like lemonade. It then give off a slight odor of alcohol. It is time to replace it with a new mix. There is alcohol in the bottle but it is not the best, the fermentation having been done for the CO2 production and not for the quality of the alcohol. Simply discard it and rinse the bottle thouroughly, twice, with the hottest water from the tap before making another mix.

It is a sealant to keep the CO2 from leaking out from the hole where the straw is in. This sealant can be made from all kind of things that you find in your home. It could be glue which would be the most professional, but in this video I user strawberry jam. Yes, good old simple sticky strawberry jam so easy to get and so inexpensive. Just apply it and it will dry doing exactly the job it it meant to do. Do not worry about other insects being attracted to the sugar as crawling insects can no more climb up on the sides of the CO2 bottle than bedbugs can, and flying ones would remain stuck to the jam until it gets dry, become too hard for those flying insects to feed on. This is the easiest and the fastest bedbug trap, and it is also the least expensive: ___ four 500 ml bottles ______________________ no cost (recycled) ___ two bendable drinking straws ___________ no cost (from a fast food outlet) ___ half a teaspoon of jam __________________ no cost (from your fridge) ___ a little piece of scotch tape _____________ no cost (everybody has some) ___ an unused glass ________________________ no cost (anything made of glass) ___ a square of paper towel _________________ no cost (... how many sheets in a roll?) ___ an elastic ...

@__Darja Kudrjavceva__The best place to place the bedbug traps is behind each leg of the bed. The legs of the bed is what bedbugs use to get in the bed, no matter where they could be in the room. You can make four smaller traps with the 2L sugar and yeast solution, using four 500ml bottles like on this video. Another video on how to make traps is at: Making a CO2 Bedbug Trap with Plastic Containers The 2L mixture recipe is at: julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe5.jpg Traps work best with a bedbug shield on the bed. The bedbug shield is an impenetrable barrier that stops all bedbug bites at once and that keep bedbugs from biting you and from being able to feed on your blood. Another video shows how to make your own bedbug shield, at: The Bedbug Shield More information about bedbugs, the bedbug trap and the bedbug shield can be found at: julesnoise.com/ The bedbug trap is known worldwide and eliminates bedbugs right down to the last one until there are none left. It is the easiest and the least expensive way to get rid of bedbugs permanently. Best regards JulesNoise

@__Kevinj11798__Pitfalls can be as small as one ounce shot glasses so they can easily fit under low beds and securely placed behind each leg of the bed so they they do not get knocked off. The large one gallon recipient holding the mixture can also be conveniently placed out of the way, preferably against a wall near the head of the bed. Talcum powder is used to make any smooth vertical surface too slippery for bedbugs to climb up onto it. See Bedbug Barriers - Stop All Bedbugs and Eliminate Them! where bedbugs are unable to cross such a smooth vertical surface, clear wrapping tape in this case. It is the most efficient way to make bedbug barriers. Sugar and yeast has been used for centuries to make bread and wine. A by-product of sugar and yeast fermentation is carbon dioxide or CO2. CO2 is used to feed plants in aquariums and also as a lure to attract and catch bedbugs. You will find the detailled recipe at: julesnoise.com/665-2/. You will find "A Treatise on DIY CO2 Systems for Freshwater-Planted Aquaria by John LeVasseur" at www.qsl.net/w2wdx/aquaria/diyco2.html. You can find the "Top 10 Reasons For Fermentation Failure" at www.eckraus.com/wine-making-failure/. Not mentionned in this list is the use of baking soda that hampers fermentation. Try again, you will lose 1$ worth of yeast and sugar but it is not a big amount and you will end up with a fermentation process that works. As I said previously, bedbug traps work best on the floor to attract and catch bedbugs that are in the room and going towards the bed. For bedbugs that are already in the bed, use a bedbug shield that will stop and keep bedbugs from being to bite you. It is an impenetrable barrier that stops all bedbugs. It is made with a regular contour sheet to wich you fix and seal a long 2 feet wide by 25 feet long sheet of plastic. Here is an example on how to make a bedbug shield: The Bedbug Shield. Contact me again if you have any difficulties and we will make it work. JulesNoise

When the water evaporates it creates c02 which is what they are attracted to. They are also attracted to histamine which is in our blood.

@Peter Wexler the water has a mixture of sugar and yeast which then gives off cO2.

It is carbonated water. They have no mixture. Its the co2 that leaves the carbonatet water that attracts them. You also breathe out co2.

create carbon dioxide which is what they are attracked to your body emits this and that is what they ar4e attracked by

kill em all

@__Jim Humphry__ Hi Jim, I have two recent comments from you and another previous blank entry without any message. The earliest of your two recent comments has questions about advice for bedbug prevention for a new mattress and box spring, and bed risers. We can safely assume that a new mattress and boxspring will be clear of bedbugs and we will want to keep them that way. So we must make sure that the bed frame itself is also clear of bedbugs before installing the new mattress and new box spring in it. It is a simple precaution to make sure there are no bedbugs in it even if none can be detected. To clear a bed frame of any possible bedbug, use 91% rubbing alcohol to kill them instantly. Rubbing alcohol kills bedbugs on contact and must be applied on all corners, cracks and interstices and especially on the undersides. It is easier to do without the mattress and box spring, using a sponge to get the alcohol in all possible hiding places. Wiping the whole bed frame should not take more than 10-15 minutes. Putting the new mattress and box spring in the cleaned bed frame will give you a bed which is definitely clear of bedbugs. The next step is to make sure that any bedbugs that might be anywhere in the room are not able to climb up in the new bed by simply putting bedbug barriers on the legs of the bed. If bedbugs cannot reach you, bedbugs will not be able to bite and will not be able to feed. A bedbug that cannot feed is a dead bedbug. You already know that a simple band of scotch tape will stop any and all bedbugs but here is a demonstration how good this tape is to stop and keep bedbugs from being able to cross it, it is the perfect bedbug barrier. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I5sFz9jC-nQ.html It does not matter if your bed risers are not perfectly vertical, close to vertical is good enough to stop any bedbug from getting across the tape barriers. Talcum powder also makes any smooth vertical surface too slippery for bedbugs to be able to hang to it. Millions of bedbugs have tried and not a single one has ever succeeded or ever will. Talcum powder does not kill bedbugs but it keeps them from being able to feed. If your bed risers are hollow, place a bedbug barrier on the inside of the risers as you have one on the outside too. An additional precaution could be to place a second barrier on the legs of the bed and aboce the risers. That second barrier is not really needed but it will give you peace of mind which is nice when you want to sleep soundly without a bite. What will happen once your bed is completely cleared out of bedbugs and if the few remaining ones in the room are not able to reach you anymore? Well, the bedbug war is won when all the bites stop. A bedbug that cannot feed is a dead bedbug. No more bedbugs roaming around, no more bedbug being able to bite. Without our warm blood to feed on, bedbugs simply die of starvation. Bedbugs is a bad experience soon to be forgotten as they disappear. With what you learned about bedbugs and how to defeat them, you will never be bothered by bedbugs again. Keep in touch as you get the results you want, your experience will be seen by other people and it will also help them as it helped you. In solidarity JulesNoise

JnSavedByTheBell Jules, That's just what I wanted to know... you are so kind to help myself and others. Can't thank you enough.

Jim Humphry Well, I couldn't find your previous message and I took a guess from what you told me in your more recent emails. I've been lucky I guess but what else could it be. People talk to me in search of a solution and I have only one answer, do everything you can to stop them and starve them to death by doing so. And it works, thousands of people like you have done it and I learned from them just as they learn from me. This is not a money-making scheme to fool people in giving me money, but it is the real thing. The only thing I want is to kill as many bedbugs as I can and I need you to help me do it. I'm driven by revenge on a stupid insect that brings us nothing but aggravation and followed by an inevitable poisoning of my own place. I got rid of my bedbugs a long time ago and after that, I wanted to keep fighting and eliminate all the bedbugs I could get my hands on, and now I have you fighting them and I'm fully on your side because I enjoy when someone else kills them. It is okay, there is no law keeping us from killing our own bedbugs, in fact it is highly recommended but it must work. Well I got that off my chest, thank you Mr Jim Humphry, we make a good team and you will be rid of bedbugs as soon as you stop them from being able to feed. It is the secret of the shield and the traps. Catching and blocking bedbugs before they can bite and feed. A bedbug that can't feed is a dead bedbug, all we have to do is wait for them to die while you can sleep soundly and peacefully without getting a single bite. The best thing is that if you get rid of your bedbugs by yourself, you will get rid of bedbugs forever, If there is ever a next time, it will be easier and you will be able to eliminate the very first bedbug before it even has a chance to bite, you will defeat the worst bedbug of all, the mother of all bedbugs. All that I learned is of no use to me anymore, could it be that bedbugs are scared of me? If that is the case, they will probably be scared of you. It is not a good thing to rub Jim Humphry the wrong way, stupid bedbugs will end up dead! So this knowledge about fighting bedbugs can be used to show other people how it is done, so in the last five years, I only wanted to pass it on. I'm in a good mood, happy that you are taking control and that you will be rewarded for your efforts. Don't worry, most of the work is done, once your shield and your traps are in place, all that is left to do is wait and let the shield and the traps do all their work, on the job 24/7. You can sleep without worrying about bedbugs that cannot reach you and that will slowly be dying from starvation, bedbugs not being able to feed on your warm blood anymore. I will gladly answer any other details or questions you might have so that you will succeed in getting rid of bedbugs on your first try. May the best be with you Jim and you will always be welcome here, Thank you. Jules

Hi Mr Jim Humphry, I often go to bedbug-infested places, kmowimg full well that I might bring a bedbug home and I haven't seen a live bedbug here in the last five years. Am I simply lucky or is there something that keeps bedbugs from being able to reach me? Luck has nothing to do with it, I am simply bedbug-proof. When I found out I had bedbugs, the first thing I did was to look for something that could stop them and even before I made my first trap, I put a sheet of plastic on my bed. I didn't know that a sheet of plastic could do that then and it took me months to get rid of bedbugs with my newly found traps, but I did it and I could not stop with only mine as more bedbugs were coming from other apartments. It kas been a long struggle, probably very similar to what you are living now. Catching bedbugs now and then, and thinking it was the last of them only to find out that there are more, somewhere... or where ever they came from. It was so frustrating, I can understand you Jim and I wish I could do it for you and put an end to it right now. It is easier to see results when there are a lot of bedbugs, it is very satisfying to find dead bedbugs in the traps and it gives you hope. But when there are only a few bedbugs remaining, it seems to drag on and we can never be sure if there are bedbugs left or not. What saved me was leaving my shield on as it did for so many people. It has been five years and yet, my shield is still on, I will never take it out. I do not care if I go to bedbug infested places. If I bring a bedbug home, and I probably did more than once, none of these attack ever became an infestation. Any bedbug that I might have picked up never had a chance to bite and feed off me. Bedbugs that cannot feed will simply die of starvation stuck somewhere under the shield. That's where you will find them, taking off the shield one day and finding dead bedbugs as you clean up the bed. Months without bites and dry bedbug corpses, that is the real end of the bedbugs. What happened is very similar to the very beginning of an infestation. Most people get one or two bedbugs and are not aware of it. Successful bedbugs find a safe place to hide, usually in the bed and out of sight, close to their "host" so they can easily come back to feed again, and this time with their newly hatched brood of small baby bedbugs. Those few bedbugs feed and multiply. It is the same old story for everybody, damn bedbugs! You have an advantage, unlike these people who do not find out about bedbugs until it is too late, you are aware of their presence and you know how to stop them. Stopping the very first or the few bedbugs is like stopping the whole infestation before it even begins. I like to call it prevention, this claim of being bedbug-proof that I have. In your case, this new triple bite attack cannot become an infestation because even if they succeeded once, they will not be able to come back for more as it happens for everybody else who are unaware of bedbugs and how to deal with them. Three bites in the same area, most probably when you were sleeping could mean three bedbugs or only one single bedbug that bit three times. If these bedbugs were nymphs, which is highly probable since nymphs usually outnumber adults 70 to 1, those nymphs had a blood meal and went to hide somewhere to digest and molt. Those bedbugs will have to come back to get more blood for their next molting. That's where you are waiting for them with your shield and traps. What worked for you so far will keep working and if if it is possible to lose one battle, it is impossible to lose the war. Your bedbugs, or whatever is left of them do not multiply and every time you catch or neutralize one under the shield, it is one less bedbug and their population keeps going down. There are very few bedbugs left Jim, every time you eliminated one without getting a bite, all the other bedbugs without blood could not molt or lay eggs either, that's why you have so few bedbugs left. All is well and going fine, then all of sudden bedbugs are back with a vengeance! It feels like that and we dread going back to the way it was before. The thing about bedbugs is not the insect itself, it is harmless. What is the difference between a mosquito bite and a bedbug bite? No difference, both are insect piercing our skin to lap blood. What we call a bite is a needle-like mouth part that allows their tongue to dip in the tiny hole they make and actually lap blood with it. Neither mosquitoes or bedbugs have a blood pump. A bedbug that succeeded in getting a blood meal (your last three bites) will always leave its "host" after feeding to find a place to digest. In a place nearly clear of bedbugs, its place of choice will be in the bed. If this bed has a bedbug shield, the bedbug will not be able to go anywhere in the bed and other than hiding in the bedding, it will have to go down completely off the bed and down to the floor. To come back up for its next meal, that bedbug will have to go near the traps on the floor and up the legs of the bed. That's where the barriers on the legs of the bed come in. Bedbugs will try to climb up the legs of the bed and will fail. They will constantly fall down and be sent towards the traps all the time. Even if a bedbug succeeds in getting past the traps and the barriers, it will only end up under the shield that cover the whole bed. A bedbug that succeeds in gettinf a bite can bite only once. It make defeating bedbugs easy with patience, hunger works against them. If bedbugs are hardly a threat, the damage they do is not physical but emotional. We just can't stand the idea of bedbugs crawling on us at night and waking up in the morning with those welts and hitches, it impacts your whole day and screws up your social life. It is called emotional distress and it is the real damage bedbugs do. It is only an insect, it is our reactions that makes it bigger than life. It is undeniable that bedbugs are tough and can last a long time without a blood meal. It is especially true of dormant bedbugs that could escape all detection and come out one day, ready and eager to feed. Could it be a bedbug that recently woke up and could let itself drop on the bed, in spite of the precautions you took to keep them at bay? It does not happen often and only in the case of previous large infestations where bedbugs had to migrate much further away from the bed to escape the aggressive male bedbugs. In smaller or early infestations, there is only one adult female and 70ish nymphs to follow, there are no males to attack blood-filled bedbugs and make them spread out somewhere else than the bed. A blood-filled bedbug goes roams around searching for a place to hide away from the light. It ends up in a nearby closet, goes in the daskest corner and then safely digest and molt. Once in the next stage of growth, the bedbug detects nothing, no warm spot anywhere and no traces of the CO2 humans exale. Nothing, so the bedbug slows down and goes in dormancy. Some time later and for some reason the bedbug start to move and seek the light from the crack of the door. It is close to the ceiling and sees the warmth of the person sleeping in the bed. The bedbug takes the shortest route, up to the ceiling and then upside down untill above the bed and release. A dormant bedbug might appear and bite once but will not be able to go right back up once it will leave the bed after feeding this first and last time. That's why the shield is permanent protection against bedbugs, bedbugs cammot go in the bed from above and cannot go up from the floor, even if they already are in the bed. It's a barrier that works both ways. 99% of all bedbugs travel on the floor and there is the 1% that find another way accessible. I wish every body would make a shield on their bed, no matter if they have bedbugs or not. If you have a shield and then one day a bedbug finds its way in your place, it will be stopped by the shield on its first try. That bedbug will never have a chance to bite and will never feed of your blood. By stopping the very first bedbug, you eliminate the whole infestation even before it happens. Someone with a bedbug shield will never even know there was a bedbug attack as the only clue left will be a dry dead bedbug body in the once in a while we remove the shield to clean up the bed. If every body had a shield and stop all bedbugs at once, there would be no place where bedbug thrive as they do now, and it would be the final bedbug eradication. A shield does not have to be unpleasant and ugly, advertising the presence of bedbugs. If the simplicity of a plastic sheet is all it takes to stop bedbugs it might not be the most comfortable, it is only meant to stop bedbugs and get rid of them. It can be improved with a long plastic skirt all round the bed and fixed to a regular contour sheet much more comfortable to sleep on than plastic. A shield can be made to be fashionable and nice looking, a bed skirt that fits in the decor and appearance of the bed, nothing to suggest that it is meant for bedbugs. Great thing to use are shower curtains with motifs and colors to meet all kind of tastes. Simply cut them to fit as a long strip of plastic of about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long and then fix it to the contour sheet placed directly on the mattress. You can also add a second skirt over the plastic one as long as the plastic one is longer by at least one inch that this second decorative one. One can match curtains or choose a theme, in decoration, one has to be imaginative, it is all in your hands. And there are also bedbug traps that are decorative, using flower vases to hold the CO2 mixture and the base or platter as the inescapable pitfall bedbugs fall into. Flowerd of course have to be artificial. Barriers can be decorative strips meant only for the pleasure of the eye when in fact they are barriers that stops any crawling insects, protection. Gee whiz, I'm writing a book here, such a long-winded answer to a simple question, I'm fascinated by bedbugs. It's details about bedbugs, about where you are at in your bedbug war. It is information that you need, information eases the mind and gives us power, enough power to defeat a simple insect. Looking forward for your thoughts JuseNoise

JnSavedByTheBell Your help is really appreciated, Jules. I have several questions, so thank you for your patience: Why does the shield have to be 1 inch off the ground? Will it work if it's higher since my bed is very high off the floor? Is it important that the plastic be 2 mil thick? Why is it important for the plastic to be smooth without wrinkles on the sides? Is it still effective if it's not perfectly smooth? How do you tape wooden chair legs without damaging it? When seated, how do you keep them from crawling up your legs if your feet are on the floor? How long do you put clothes/bedding in the dryer on high heat? Does that kill bugs and eggs? For items that can't tolerate high heat, can, they be put in bags and use the dry ice treatment? If the treatment space is bigger than 2x2x2 for 1 lb dry ice, do you double the size for double the space? Again, thank you for all your help. Don't know what I'd do if I hadn't found you.

Jim Humphry Hi, I like your attitude, it is not enough to simply know what to do but we must also know how it workd and why. Your questions are valid and it is what lead me to make the very first bedbug traps. First, the shield and why it has to be one inch above the floor. The shield is an improvement of mattress covers for bedbugs. Plastic manufacturers rightly guessed that enclosing bedbugs in a plastic bag and call it a mattress cover will stop bedbugs in the mattress and entomb them to die of starvation (actually they do not know and they do not care if bedbugs die of starvation or not, the only thing they are interested in is to sell plastic encasements made to fit on mattresses and box springs, if you want enclosements for anything else, a couch, a desk or an armchair, they have nothing because there are no standard sizes that can be used to make these enclosures. It seals bedbugs in the mattress and box spring and leaves all the other bedbugs free to roam around and going around the plastic bags using the sheets and blankets to start the infestation outside as if there were no enclosures. The idea of a plastic bag to seal bedbugs in the mattress sounds like a good idea at first but cannot solve the bedbug problem in a room. So, the shield comes from such an enclosure but with an open bottom end instead of a closed plastic bag. This might seem strange as many people see this opening as a way for bedbugs to get out. But they don't, once under the shield and so close to their intended blood meal, bedbugs stay stuck under the shield and are unable to bite, bedbugs will not walk away from their only source of food, hunger keeps them trying in vain when they could get out but are not smart enough to be aware of that. That one inch space above the floor allows other bedbugs that might be in the room to come out of their hiding places and end up under the shield with all the bedbugs that already are caucht under the shield. As simple as that and no work to be done other than setting up the shield. One inch above the floor is the maximum lenght of the plastic skirt surrounding the bed. This skirt has to be longer than anything else you might put on the bed. With a long plastic skirt, no bedbug can travel sideways and reach the bed sheets, and use them to climb up to the top of the bed and reach you to bite you during the night. That's the only purpose of that plastic skirt sealed on a regular fabric contour sheet that keeps bedbugs from being able to go straight up and reach you. The shield is permanent total protection against bedbugs. It is not the one inch height that is important but what the skirt does. If in your case your bed is very high off the floor, all you have to do is verify that the bed sheets are not longer than the plastic skirt. So yes, it will work even if the space above the floor is more than one inch. It is not important that the plastic be 2 mil thick, it can be of any thickness and it will stop bedbugs. 2 mil is only to use a plastic strong enough so that it will not wear and tear as you use it. It it important for the vertical plastic to be smooth without wrinkles, it is still effective even if it's not perfectly smooth. It is preferable that the plastic be as smooth as possibe and free of most wrinkles because a fold in the plastic could be used by bedbugs to get a grip on it and eventually succeed to get around the plastic. It is also easier to maintain and make the bed so that the shield covered by the hanging bed sheets will be almost out of sight. But there is more about the plastic that will keep bedbugs from being able to get to the top of the bed, even if one could succeed to get a grip on the vertical smooth plastic. It is the edge of the plastic, that edge which is about one inch above the floor (maybe higher in your case). Bedbugs simply cannot negociate that 180° turn of the edge of the plastic. Bedbugs can't swing and catch anything on the other side of the edge of the plastic. The hanging vertical bottom edge of a smooth wall will stop any climber, it is the ultimate barrier and it works to perfection with bedbugs. All bedbugs that have tried always felt down when they get at the edge of the plastic skirt. Who would have thought that something as simple as a long strip of plastic fixed to a regular contour sheet is perfect to stop and fight bedbugs, starving them to death while you can sleep without receiving a single bite and without worries about a dying insect that you got where it hurts the most, taking their food away, Wooden chairs can be protected with bedbug barriers with a simple band of scotch tape that will keep the bedbugs from being to climb up any further. If you want to remove these scotch tape barriers later, use masking tape first on the legs, and then apply the scotch tape on the masking tape. Masking tape is made especially for that in painting, it can be lifted up without any damage to wooden surfaces. Brushing the shiny surface of the scotch tape with baby powder will make that slick vertical surface even more slippery and impossible for bedbugs to cross it. Bedbugs do not come toward us when we are on the move. We are so huge and so fast that bedbugs simply cannot catch up to us. We are extremely dangerous for bedbugs when we move and bedbugs know it. Bedbugs always wait the middle of the night to feed, when we have been unmoving for a few hours and when bedbugs find it safe and have enough time to get to you and try to feed. But even if bedbugs will not try to get to you while actively seating, shoes with the same principles as a plastic barrier will make it very difficult for bedbugs to climb on. Shoes have to be smooth and give bedbugs as little chance to grip in them as possible. Pick shoes to wear for this activity and keep them slick and impossible to climb up onto. What I have are 1/4 inch bands of black duct tape covered with scotch tape all around the soles of my shoes to go to bedbug infested places. Duct tape because it sticks well to the soles of most shoes and scotch tape to make its outside surface smooth and shiny, so that no bedbug can climb up on the shoes. I have the same thing on beach slippers (different color) that I wear inside for my own comfort. Clothes/bedding in the dryer on high heat should be around 20-30 minutes. Bedbugs and eggs start to die at 113°F, so it is better to exceed that temperarure and get the clothes/bedding up to 150°F if you can. The most accurate time we can get is with a thermometer inside thick wool socks to protect it in tumbling. Try it a few times and it will tell you how long you could heat-treat your subsequent loads. Many things cannot be heat-treated. Anything plastic might warp at those temperatures, solid objects are not recommended in a dryer and might cause damage, and some items are simply too large for a dryer. Here comes CO2 to the rescue. Everything about the trap has a reason including the many ways to kill bedbugs. Like any other creature on this planet, bedbugf have to breathe. Even eggs die in an environment deprived of oxygen. We can kill anything with CO2 inside a plastic bag. It is the silent killer. With CO2, it is a matter of concentration. Normal levels of CO2 absolutely needed for life are at 350 parts per million. Discomfort from CO2 concentration starts at 20,000 parts per million while it can become lethal at 50,000 parts per million. Inside a plastic bag using dry ice the CO2 levels can reach 900,000 parts per million, That's almost pure CO2, totally devastating and yet contained in a plastic bag. And there is no damage done by the dry ice as it sublimates directly from solid dri ice to CO2 gas without going in the liquid state. Extreme cold is something to be careful of and dry ice should not be manipulated without gloves. In using it inside a plastic bag, dry ice should be separated from the items you want to kill the bedbugs out of. Extreme cold (minus 78°F)can make plastic brittle, use something isulating like a large thick folded towel to separate the dry ice from fragile items. 2x2x2 is the space that will be filled by a pound of solid dry ice. A larger space needs a proportional amout of dry ice, so a couch 6"8" wide by 3'0" deep and 2'8" high will give you a space of 53,3 cubic feet. Divide it by 8 cubic feet for each pound of dry ice required and it will give you 6,66 pounds of dry ice. It does not have to be precise, keeping in mid that it is better to have too much CO2 than too little and 7 or even 8 pounds of dry ice is better for a couch that size. Treating a couch with dry ice? Yes, just wrap it and throw dry ice in it. In a few hours, anything inside the bag will be dead. What else can we treat with dry ice? Anything you please, kills bedbugs, causes no damage. Totally safe as soon as you open the bag as the CO2 will flow down on the floor and dissipate in the air. If I hadn't found me, you would have found out some other way. Each of us making bedbug traps our own way was bound to happen, There are no big secret in defeating bedbugs, just common sense. Use what you got and watch them carefully, they will tell you what works and what does not work on them. One thimg I learned is that it is a stupid insect that has only one source of food. What happens when we take it away from them? Stupid bedbugs do not deserve all the hype interested parties give them. An insect that is bigger than life is good for business, but not for me, I had enough of their poisoned market and you could have done the same thing as me. Jules

Jules, thank you for such detailed answers. Do you think self adhering plastic would work? I found a piece 2 ft by 50 ft that sticks to carpet. I wonder if I used a fitted sheet and taped this to the sides of the mattress and box springs. Would they get stuck in the sticky side if they crawled on it?

I saw your later comment, thanks for figuring out the solution by yourself, but here is the answer anyway. I have a website that gives all the information about bedbugs and the traps, the recipe is there. It is called °The CO2 Bedbug Trap°, it can also easily be found with the links under the videos or by Googling: °JulesNoise°.

@@JnSavedByTheBell Why do you make readers hunt for the information? Why not put it all right here in one video?
