When that roach crawled up the front of his shirt and under his collar... My soul left my body

I lived in an apartment with roaches once. I tired everything, bombed it several times. A pro came once a week to spray. Swept up hundreds of dead roaches but I realized the people in the other units weren’t doing anything about it so they would never stop coming. That building needed to be burned down I swear.

It's cool seeing someone explain their job this well, you definitely deserve more subs

Hope everyone is having a PEST FREE day!!! :)

Lmao this dude should model on the side. Too handsome to be doing this kind of work.

Big respect to you man. I was a technician. Did it for 6 years. It eventually got to me. I said nope. Didn’t want to be in situations like that anymore. I’m glad I can take care of it if it happens to me and mine, but I couldn’t deal with doing that everyday potentially for years

When u start seeing roaches during daylight u got serious problems

Your videos are educational and extremely interesting and entertaining. You were definitely made for this. Thanks for making them! We learn so much.

Absolutely love your channel. Being in the pest control world, it’s nice to see other peoples perspective as a tech.

Great video, a few things. I wouldn’t put bait around where I just sprayed because the roaches won’t touch it at all. When you bait use a tip. No need for a long line as roaches don’t have big mouths, a small dot will do the trick and will save you tons of money on inventory. Keep up the great work

This is the earliest I’ve ever been on a video haha, it’s so cool to see people talking about their jobs and sharing :)

I can sympathize with you this is one of the most comical videos I've seen in a long time there's times I walk into houses that have that many roaches and I just want to step right back out

The bug guy that comes to my complex is young like you and he fought a massive infestation at the end of the building. Poor guy came out of there shaking them off his boots, his pants, it was awful. I truly don't know how you guys do it and whatever you're getting paid, it's not enough!

I appreciate you for taking the time for making this vlog and educate us.

Hey Dan... such a great video and you are very blessed young man, with beauty and looks.

Fantastic video as usual Daniel!

Hey Dan the man. I don’t know how you do this job. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 🌹

Just paused this to clean behind my fridge. Thanks!

This guy has great energy

This is absolutely DISGUSTING ! ! ! But what a great video. Thanks so much for taking the cameras into such a prime location. I'd hope I will never live in a place that gets this bad, but it sure is incentive to do the right thing from the start so you don't end up with an environment like this one.

Great channel !! keep up the good work 👍

Good videos Mr Dan

Awesome job, I love seeing these kinds of vids

Thank you so much for all input and info 😊 you are so brave an inspiration ❤

This is such a great video, nice explanation bro! Roaches freak me out, but I know they won't come out of the video so i watched it

wtf this dude should be a model not an exterminator lol

Thank you for the information. I'm pest technician your videos are a big help. Work for a big pest control company limited time training. Thank you for your videos

Nice video man. You're definitely going to be big channel one day. I like the quality of your videos and you will only become better. Btw im here bc im 2 weeks away from closing on my first home and your Subterranean Termite Short got me hooked on your channel

Dan The Bug Man you are a handsome man.

12 year pest control veteran in southeast VA here. I have seen worse infestations than this, and that isn't to 1-up you but to simply try and convey just how horrible these infestations can get if these creatures are left to thrive without professional intervention. Picture a 3 story house with every(!) room overflowing with them. Stuff of nightmares. Great video of a very thorough treatment.

Thanks for educating us❤

I went to someone’s house with a friend. He knew them. I didn’t know them. As we sat at the kitchen table roaches were running everywhere. Running across the table. Just running everywhere without any hesitation. And EVERYONE in the room acted like the roaches were not there. I could not wait to get out of there.

I am terrified of roaches…. I mean extremely. I’ve had a roach the size of a rat crawl up my arm while in another country and wouldn’t come off…😢 it created a huge fear of roaches. I cannot believe you could stand in that home with so many…just watching this made me look around in paranoia and tingles 🤢🤯🤢🤯

As an internet installer that has been to many homes, several a day, I hate roach homes. They used to be more frequent, but now I only get maybe 1 or 2 a year. The smell is unmistakable. It's a disgusting situation, and I don't know how Dan can be so calm around them. They destroy everything. I've literally handed customers the cables and told them to go plug it in because I'm not going in there.

15:55 The amount of anxiety I got from watching that roach crawl up his shirt and under his collar.

This channel def helps with intermittent fasting. 10/10 recommended 👍

Amazing content just be safe with the long term effects being around those chemicals for years!

underrated channel i hope you blow up someday

This gives me hope. I only see one every other day. My landlord took 3 weeks to book an appointment so I had to clean so much poop so I know they are around but I don’t see many. All my stuff is piled up taken out of the closets and I just want this horrible nightmare to be over. I went through this two years ago. My building has roaches - I’d hate to move with them but I’d love to move.

Great video. Dan one suggestion, impress upon clients what to expect after you finish job.

15:50 when you say one is crawling on you and then that one falls off... but on the next clip there are 3 more crawling on you while you're talking.... this is what nightmares are made of🥲

nice video. ya did such a good job that i went around the house spraying afterward, even though i dont have any roaches!!

Great video, thanks for sharing how you work and what goes through your mind. Please wear a proper mask in the future, I couldn't imagine what that stuff does to you when you breathe it in saying what it does to roaches

Thanks for the video

So funny. Good job 👍🏽

PLEASE go and tell the other side of the duplex and give them the opportunity to have the adjoining wall sprayed. Where I live, if you spray one part of a building you are required to spray all units. Wow that's the most disgusting thing I've seen in a while! GREAT video.

I have to say thank you. I don't have this battle at home but I know someone who does, it's unacceptable and it's a war that you cannot give up on. I have high standards and I would rather burn all of my possessions before admitting defeat. I hope everyone else learns as much as I have

Your easy on the eyes Dan Good job 👍

Under rated channel

This is insane bro your are such a G for being in there with a shit ton of those roaches

Awesome video

My grandma's house hasn't been cleaned once in 30 years and it's gotten so bad basically the entire house is just one giant nest of these. But the worst part, is that my grandma and her pets still live there 😓be sure to clean and inspect your houses! It's too late for grandma! 17:45

Great video!!

My partner and I moved from a heavily infested apartment building. The landlord was horrible and didn't take the issue seriously, but everyone in the building was complaining about it. We broke our lease legally because of the infestation. We tried our best to inspect everything while and during moving but we still brought some over 😭 luckily our new apartment management is actually sending pest control regularly, and I'm doing my part by keeping everything as clean as possible, putting pet food and water our at night. We have rats so I've sprayed the litter tray at the bottom and along the stand so if they crawl onto it they will die. I'm so livid and paranoid 😩 crackhead cleaning. Hopefully withing a few weeks they will be taken care of. Sometimes its really hard to prevent transfer, especially coming from a building as infested as we did. Should we be putting our toothbrushes and sponges up? Everything else is cleaned and swept DAILY, and we are only eating in one room at this point.

One fact that you could have mentioned about the "diy" sprays that you buy in stores. They are more for a prevention type maintenance than they are for eradicating. Roaches are extremely adaptable and over the counter sprsys will actually eventually just become a food source for the entire colony.

You got you a new subscriber sir

You did amazing job! I haven't see such infestation in my 12 yrs of work in pest control. I would surely repeat the treatment on 10th day when new generation hatch with attract&kill chemical+sticky feromene. These ones are rare where I live, luckily. Very nice video.

Thank you for this awesome video! Btw, It would be a good idea to wear gloves and maybe a mask that filters organic particles. I used to deal with some chemicals without proper PPE and now I cannot be around those chemicals. God bless and keep doing such a good job.

i love ur channel ~!

Good presentation rock on

Glad I found this channel. Hope I can be as calm around so many cockroaches one day 😅

thank you for the video.

Great videos… I’m starting to watch more because i just started working at a pest control company but you not wearing ppe all the time scares me 😌

Nice video 😁

when I worked in residential HVAC.. every fall we would get "no-heat" calls and always hated when we had togo to certain buildings because the roaches were so thick if not careful they would go home in my clothes, in my tool bags.. sometimes we would leave our tools in our vans and walk back N forth each time to grab a few tools then take them back.. we wore coveralls and masks in some house that we would take off and stuff in plastic bags.. landlords did nothing.. many people didnt know they could call their landlord for treatments.. others were hoarders that were the reason for the issue in a whole building..

I am afraid of bed bugs and Cockroaches! You are a brave man!

I did pest control 15 years. How come you didn't use any vacuum at beginning to reduce roach population? I would recommend IPM approach but of course everyone has their own unique way to treat. Keep up the good work young man.

Watching this has me itching

It's insane how I dig working and watching pest control lol

Those disgusting little things make my skin crawl like no other pest.

This made me go power clean my kitchen.

To stop customer complaints, you have to set expectations and tell them what's going to happen after you treat

you are a hero men

One of my secrets dealing with infestations like this was I would do the spray first, making sure the product wasn't a repellant like Phantom. Once the spray was complete then I would use a flushing agent like CB-80 and force all the cockroaches to come out of their hiding spaces and through the areas I sprayed. It won't kill them all instantly but in 24-48 hours the problem is solved.

Great video Dan ❤ but please get a full body suit, would hate for some to accidentally come home w/ you by hiding in your clothes.

This video is entertainment and education, the perfect type of education is very entertaining type

Watching this makes me itch

Nice . Chemical warfare! Its true I've seen people who grew up with it, and the roaches don't bother them. I had some poor kid who was crying because the kids in school would see roaches on him. I work in NYC and have seen much worse than that. I've seen massive roach infestations with bedbugs crawing up the walls. Rats in people mattress and rats that chewed holes into refrigerators .

Great video , will it be possible u can make video about how pest control technician make money.

I lived in an apartment that was infested worse than this and my landlord refused to call an exterminator. We tried sprays, traps, bug bombs, nothing worked

Alpine WSG plus Nyguard IGR is what I use for German roaches and really works.

I’m couch surfing with people who got crazy roach infestation in their kitchen and the couch i sleep in is literally right next to the kitchen, it bugs me no pun intended. And it’s kills me how no one even cares or is bothered by being greeted by roaches when you come get breakfast in the morning 😤 and they don’t even clean after themselves, I’m watching all these videos and cleaning the kitchen everyday because I don’t wanna be that kid that bosses everyone around when they are the ones hosting me. Thank you , your video was helpful

I'm going to have nightmares!

😂😂You make me laugh so hard! You're hilarious 😆🤗!

I had rentals for yrs. A tenant moved out and it was way worse than this. I called exterminator and told him he needed to bring the big guns. He was hesitant at first but after initial inspection he agreed. It took a few weeks but finally gone. Afterward the clean up is a challenge.

No gas mask? No white suit? Aren’t you worried about exposure to all those poisons over long period of time?

What people don't know is that those nasty things will get into your TV, audio equipment, and just about anything electrical and short it out. My husband and I went through a TV every three years before we caught on. Not to mention they are a fire hazard.

I just know Dan's house is incredibly clean

dan do more field day videos they're very entertaining

learned a lot thanks. rented a new apt today and found 5 dead roaches. i think I may have a problem

Wow amazing

i love this

“There’s currently one on my *jump cut*” I feel them crawling on me through the damn screen lol

I had a friend that was an exterminator and he told me about a cockroach infested home he sprayed one time. He said there were even tons of roaches behind the pictures hanging on the walls 😖

I watched this video and have this informed suggestion for your viewers of this video. A cheap and considerably effective potential resolution to that infestation (of an empty unit) is to capitalize on it not having a current food source for roaches and because it is empty no temperature control (making it a bit less optimal for roaches to thrive as compared to when tenants supply them a food source and optimal temp control)..I brought two then recently vacated slum ghetto private house (not duplexes). Both were infested. The solution that worked in both instances was to get the best commercially sold roach bomb canisters available at the dollar store/family dollar/ dollar general. Then place them throughout the house. I mean in the attic, in the rooms, in the crawl spaces. The lock the house and leave. I come back two days later and clean, clean, clean. The first house was purchased December so the house was near freezing and the roaches died off and did not return while I lived there 2 years. The next house was purchased July. I did the same. Roach bombs from the cheap store. I got the best brand from the cheap store and put them in the crawl space, the attic, and the rooms of the house. I then cleaned up the house real good...time after time. The refrigerator had so many dead roaches. The defrost tube is still clogged with the remnants of dead roaches (I need an air compressor to clear that line so the freezer part of refrigerator and run the defrost water down properly. So for two houses I resolved the roach problem for about $38 for both houses. About $19 each..unfortunately thenfenants of the first house had lapsed after 2 years were roaches invaded and thrived.

Oh, my god. My skin crawled so much I couldn't watch the whole video. But it seemed good.

I can smell them through the screen. Unique combination of the smell of mildew + body odor.

Great video! We moved in a duplex in LA, with shared garage on one side and street on the other, noticed all sizes of the german roaches, and earwigs as well. Earwigs were easy to deal with. Pest control guy sprayed with Onslaught fast cap, they first were dying, but in 2-3 days they were running around and looking healthy again. we then applied Syngenta gel, and I sprayed with Taurus SC (recommended by friends abroad that used fipronil based treatment successfully, and we don't have kids or pets) outside and along baseboards inside, even though its not rated for indoor use. After that, things are getting better, but after around 5 days they still appear here and there, sometimes running healthy, sometimes completely dead. According to your experience, which step actually helped? Just so I use it in case I face the same issue in the future. And with no adjacent walls, only shared garage, is there still a chance that if neighbors have roaches, they will be visiting us from time to time? And if yes, what is the best preventative measure in our case? This is my first time dealing with them, and pretty stressful, we continue keeping our food in boxes and eating unhealthy, and its all pretty stressful for us. Thank you in advance!

Educational video, this really isn't that bad compared to a lot of job technicians go into. I really hope you put down your residual before you flushed them out.
