I will say this is reckless as heck. If someone buys a product on your recommendation and does not read the label and injures or kills someone than you have opened yourself up to a huge liability. Is it really worth potentially getting sued for recommending a product that requires someone to be state registered to use just to make a few dollars?
You know as a kid when I was growing up I thought they were a nursery rhyme but they are real as they can be you ain't wrong me and my late fiance had to deal with them it was no picnic we lived in an apartment we had to bag our stuff up throw out a couple of chairs
So as a former Pest Management professional who was state certified in four states I feel like I need to point some things out. #1) Proper PPE, you need to be wearing LONG sleeves and not have any exposed skin when spraying chemicals with you B&G Sprayer, pesticides can be absorbed through the skin very easily. #2) You need to be wearing a respirator when spraying liquid pesticides, at the 3:16 mark when you are spraying up the side of the chair you can see liquid bloom in all directions, you are breathing in small amounts of that. #3) Safety Goggles, again when spraying liquid pesticides with you B&G water vapor can easily be absorbed through the eyes and into the body. We had a saying where I worked, THE LABEL IS THE LAW! Read the label and it will tell you what PPE is required. I am not trying to be mean brother, I just want you to be safe and not have to deal with health issues due to long term exposure to pesticides.
As a former idc and keyboard warrior. I can tell you most guys working these jobs do risky stuff. Like the risk they cloud get bugs themselves.. I hung out in my apartment right after treatment. Fine
We did a lot of vacuuming. Along with clothes washing. We encased all of our mattresses in zipper cases which we put in some sort of powder. Also we put the powder on the rails and in the couches. We just left it on . The bugs were gone bye-bye. I think I brought them home from the hospital. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.
there can be no way they can save the chair and bed w the infestation being that bad. i mean all the springs and lining INSIDE them, the eggs have to be EVERYWHERE in there… brooo EDIT: in the freaking curtains too?! aw hell naw lol it all needs to go
We used to be infested with them for a long time and we’d get all sorts of stuff to try and get rid of them and nothing was working for the longest time. It was agonizing and stressful but then one day we were able to finally get rid of them. But still even now I have nightmares from time to time and seeing them in videos just makes my skin crawl and itch all over. Another thing is usually can tell or at least assume if it’s a bed bug when I get bit, generally they will bite in lines of multiple bites and the bites are usually all miscellaneous in shape and size, and then when I get bit and it’s just a bump rather than a weird Welch or something that’s how I can usually tell
Dan, do you ever get scared that you're going to bring some of these critters home with you? I'm curious to know what you do to protect yourself from that!
Thanks for all you do! I enjoy watching your videos, and this one is probably one of my favorites, bed bugs are so stupid and annoying the most id say. Keep making videos, your the best and thanks for filming!
I'm very aware these bugs don't care if you're clean or dirty. However, if people would move furniture and stuff frequently and clean they would find these critters well before they get to this infestation. That chair will never be bug free without super heating it.
I’ve been bit before at a friends house. I found out that I welt up really bad. So glad my body reacted that way so I quickly made my way out of that house and got rid of my outfit promptly lol
I would wrap that chair in plastic, bring it outside, douse it in gasoline and burn it. I would not want that thing in my house for one more minute after i knew what was inside.
I agree. Throw that nasty thing away or anything else that infested in the house. I would rather not take a chance with furniture that is that infested as I would think there would be hidden eggs or even baby bedbugs that got missed
@@kathleengivant-taylor2277 yeah that chair had at least a few pounds of exoskeletons, way beyond saving lol. I would have taken that chair out back and burned it to ashes lol.
@@kathleengivant-taylor2277 Throwing the chair away is unnecessary, there is a reason why when treating with chemicals you make multiple visits. The bed bug egg casing, called an ootheca is 100% immune to chemical pesticides. When you spray the first time you kill the adults and juveniles. Typically you schedule the follow up treatment for three weeks because it takes an egg 21 days to hatch so your second treatment is going to kill all the freshly hatched babies.
To address the elephant in the room, these two young men are in an enclosed space with no protective breathing nor clothing gear --- implying they are ingesting insecticides that are nerve and blood agents.
1st off, Your the man, 2nd, you impress me so much thru your videos, 3rd, i once had bed bugs and it was horrible for a month. I cleaned an old mans house and an infected object on a wall fell off and hit me on the head, I didn't know about bed bugs like i do now. I went home and changed my clothes, but by the time i got home they were in my truck, bed, chair from the ones that landed in my hair. I used a product called " Goodnight " and it finally killed them off after 3 cans of it and constant awareness of the swelling bites. When you were spraying the curtains, my testicles shriveled up just watching you and i cringed thinking how many were falling off the top, and in your hair and clothes. the infection you sprayed was the worst i have ever seen or ever imagined. I would of thrown out ALL the furniture and carpet if it was mine. I can't believe you tackled that. You'll make a great Father one day with your Patience's. I'm gonna have nightmares tonight after seeing this ,,,, lol You are a true Bug Man if i ever have seen one ever before. Stay safe Daniel, All the best from, California.
Thank you!!!:) Yeah man. Bed bugs are no joke. They are so unique. They really don’t actively try to move from person to person but inevitably that’s how they get into new houses. It only takes a few to start a new population. Yeah I had dreams and nightmares about them when I first started in this industry but now I guess I’m used to them haha
Lesson if I’m ever told I have bedbugs everything in my house has to go. I’m not kidding. I will start over before I lay on something or have my children lay on something that has had nasty bugs all on it. That is disgusting.
9:03 also a financial impairment. Yall be charging hundreds to spray (for a spray I found out I can buy and use in my state), and then thousands to heat treat. Some of us can't afford that and I don't see yall offering payment plans.
My wife is always getting mad at me when we go to hotel rooms because I flip over everything in the room 😂, even when I had fleas in our apartment I was constantly flipping over everything lmao
A was wondering why you dont have much protection on because you are pretty much misting anything & everything. There is definitely alot of back splash happening is that stuff your spraying really that safe man especially since you do this for a living youll be exposed to this way more than the average joe.
In 2012 I had a bed bug problem in my apartment. It was a complex wide issue. They had an exterminator come out and spray. After that I threw out my couch, chair and bed. One week later, no results. They had a bed bug sniffing dog come out because management didn't believe I had a problem. The dog never hit on anything but right as soon as they left I found two on the floor next to the foot of my bedframe. I grabbed them, put them in a Ziploc bag and walked to the front office to show them. Two days later they heat treated and the problem was gone. Mentally took a lot longer to return to normal. After getting new furniture I kept checking crevices and cracks.
isn’t that the truth. We had them years back in appt we were in due to roommate bringing them in likely. They are hell to have. Got ride of so much stuff. Appts are notorious for bug problems including roaches which we also experienced in anouther appt we lived in before this one and both are very difficult to eliminate
How do you not wear a respirator in these people's house? Also let's say this person left the home for a year. Would the bed bugs eventually just die off?
@@sjmarie1978 I was just curious as he said they rely on humans to survive. So if the humans left for a year or more would they just all die and the infestation be done.
just wondering but do you love doing your job? like do you love getting up in the morning and killing creepy crawlies and saving homeowners or do you ever hope to change careers in the future? something off topic i wanted to ask :)
You know I am always surprised about the fulfillment this job gives me. It’s not glamours or cool but I do feel like I really am helping people have better lives. I may change careers one day but I’m all in on pest control right now
@@DanTheBugMan wow that's really uplifting to hear. i'm happy to hear that exterminating is a wholesome job for you and i fully support that you love it so much! not so much for the bugs but good for you and your wallet lol. and now that spring is here there's going to be a lot of scared bugs out there waiting for you...and your boot lmao. stay safe from that!
@@DanTheBugMan my boss /mentor Tony started his company on Los Angeles in 1973-til his passing on Monday Jan 2021. The day before, on Sunday he wore his Pest Control company shirt which I found next to him & asked his daughter about… we had talked on Sunday about the company, he loved pest control because he said, “it’s about helping people “ Now my daughter started a Pest Control company! It’s heartwarming to see young people take on this kind of work and wonderful to see you work your family business😊😊
That will literally do NOTHING to help the situation. Bed bugs hide in cracks and crevice's so they are behind the floor molding, in the electric sockets, etc. They ONLY way to get rid of a Bed Bug infestation is to properly treat the entire house. If you miss just a few the infestation will only come back.
Please wear a mask during spraying.... just concerned for your well being. Symptoms from chemical sprays may show up down the road as you start ageing.
I just found one single bug after doing routine bed vacuuming. Never had beg bugs in my life and I never take second hand soft items or wood heck anything… then I find out you can bring them home from anywhere!!! I’m getting my place professionally treated but my freak out made me bag up everything and dry them the I sprayed the who matter and frame with 99% rubbing alcohol. Dusted DE on all the furniture and baseboards and electrical sockets OMG I’m so scared because I live in a building
Did you remove all the electric socket covers and treat them with a dust? I will also say that if you didn't dismantle his bedroom and treat it with the liquid Pesticide than you are setting yourself up for failure.
Shouldn't the treated furniture be thrown away?! i understand it spreads them more...idk if you can burn them or something? I just think keeping the recliner where you can't spray all of it is counterproductive, and then there's the feces... see i would snap mentally.. i would throw everything out, rip up the carpets, idc if im sitting on a stool or something...thats horrible
Howdy! Well you know. Bed bugs are so small… I probably did end up stepping on one without even knowing. But all the floors are carpet so I wouldn’t be able to tell if I did
I am about finished with my first bedbug kill and treatment. I am seriously sensitive to the bites so I discovered them very quickly. I went into overdrive mode and treated everything like it was a major infestation. They literally came in to my home in the grooves in the bottom of my shoes. I left the shoes at the foot of my bed like every night and poof I have bed bugs! The only nesting area was a foot from the shoes and a foot from The bottom of the bed in a bed sheet my dog took out of the laundry basket and drug there. Knock on wood. I think I have most of them. No sign on mattresses or metal bed or pillows. But I steamed everything, sprayed everything, walls and baseboards and inside behind switch plates, under all dressers and drawers and picture frames. And I will do it all over again in about a month. So far nothing showing up in traps. I think I did the correct thing by overkilling the situation without toxing myself out. Arghhhh! I have so much respect for you doing what you do to help people. I know it’s your job dude, but thank you💛
Clean the chair but aren’t they in the carpet so yea the chair is clean but won’t they be right back? I have been told by two different pest control companies that spray doesn’t work and the structure has to be tented.
THAT PERSON IS DISTURBED I MUST SAY BECAUSE IN ORDER FOR A CASE OF THAT MAGNITUDE TO GET THAT BAD MEANS??? I'M LOST FOR WORD'S THOSE THINGS ARE HUGE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE PERSON!! THAT CHAIR NEEDS TO BE BUBBLE SET ON FIRE NOT TREATED
It doesn't matter if you have a super clean house or a dirty house. Bed bugs want human blood. The main disadvantage of having a lot of clutter is they have more places to hide, but any home can have bed bugs.
