Why CROSSFIRE Won't KILL Bed Bugs - You're doing it WRONG! 

Did you get rid of them for good?

Did they come back?

Did you spray on your sheets? What do you mean your sheets marinated. Did you wash them afterwards? I need these bugs gone!

No. She's talking about bedframe, mattress, box spring, headboard. Do not spray your sheets with an insecticide. Wash them in hottest water and dry for 30+ mins on hottest dryer setting. ​@TheGrubbFamily1

The bed bugs came back n ate him😢

I can’t say I disagree. I try to lead by example

Lol omg that’s such a bad joke 😂😩

I love it!! Dad jokes are great!! I like pg13-R rated dad jokes better but saving those for a decade or so until it's time. We've never had any bug issues in almost 40 years. Then a family friend came over a few times before her 8YR Old had the brains to tell us, after showing her my bites from what we had no idea was at that time, oh we have a bad BB infestation at our house. WHAT?? Wtf Kris? Yoir 8 yr old can say something but you thought it's not important after you gave our kids a few things and we say look at these bites, how weird? Wife and I are prior military so in Air Force and Marines we have field day at home still and keep a tight tidy ship. Oh they was in mom's chair, she's old and has mobility issues so stays in her lift chair mostly, but we got rid of the chair. Really?? You think that bugs, insects and other critters don't move about and stay in 1 spot? We didn't want to point blame until we found something and sure enough after waking up I had 3 bad reactions to bites and we looked at our headboard and beside on of the buttons was a teeny, tiny lil bed bug. All told I got 8 bites over a couple day period so we took pics and sent of the 2 bugs we found and the bites. No reply. Crickets. So a 20 yr friendship is over cause she don't want to just say sorry, should've said something, nothing. But we don't really want them over to suffer this hell. It's hell on earth going crazy every time we feel a tickle on our bodies, taking our whole place apart, sealing, spraying and steaming. We had a fire last year and was in hotel for 5 months where they had them and never got bit. We cleaned our whole place, every piece of everything in may when we got home. Now doing it again for this. And it could've all been avoided by an adult acting as such. Not a 8 yr old being more of an adult. So sad. It's embarrassing. But I'd rather be that then give these to others. Thank you for your info and videos. A total lifesaver!!

Can we get a update on how things are going for you? Thanks Eddy

I wish I could use it... But neonicotinoids are forbidden in Europe and I can't buy it anywhere. Not sure, what would be the next best thing that's also available in Europe. I could find only Diptron that contains piperonyl butoxide with etofenprox.

Did you get this problem fixed with this product? How long before it was ceased? I'm interested in this product and was curious 🤔 👀. Thank you

We just got rid of lice in April & now I found a bed bug a few nights ago :( Both suck but I think I’d take lice over bed bugs because lice are easy to find. Bed bugs are definitely not!

Ticks have been bad the last 6 years on my dog. Haven't seen one on him or us since using it

Thank you for your story! I’m so glad you solved your problem and came to share with everyone else. Enjoy your victory dinner.

Idiots are gonna idiot!

Any more signs?

I can do two 3-4 bedroom houses off one finished gallon of Crossfire

You are having the same problem i have had. Doctor says i have Prurigo nodules but i dont agree with her. something is biting me but i cant see it. I wonder the same as you. i haven't been able to see a dermatologist as of yet. i hardly ever leave my apartment and i pretty much itch all day. the only time i don't itch is when i go to sleep. this insect simple doesn't bite me under the covers.

Crossfire is only for bed bugs but in homes I treated for bed bugs a lot of other pests died as well…my go-to pesticide for most general pests is Alpine WSG

Shower

Flip the couch over and treat under it

Update; just saw one crawling out in the open on the couch I’m sleeping on. It’s 1:30am btw

All of this information is on the label. It’s why I preach to read labels

I have actually ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1MSoNur4g8E.html

*knew

Same here! I have experience checking for bed bugs (home healthcare) but I'm getting bites. We have had them in the past with successful treatment $700 later.... I'm assuming mine is mild so I'm just going into attack mode and doing it myself! This is what my pest guy uses

Any updates?

Me too. I treated my home with crossfire yesterday and still woke up with 2 bites.. that’s weird right?😶

Do not spray pillows and just stay out until it’s dry

Bed bugs usually get noticeable between 3-6 months from initial infestation

Personally if the customer wants me back I go back but I use crossfire each time

Dont use Cimexa

Make sure u. Wait the 4 weeks for re treatment I messed up bc I saw somewhere say do it every 10 days heat didn't work for us either smh now we are using cimexa with crossfire and steam praying we get it and u do too

3rd times a charm

Usually It works better to have someone living inside the home when treating

Yeah every Thursday night after 9eastern time

@@GreenAkersPC Btw: Just subscribed.

No. I’ve never ever needed anything other than crossfire since I’ve been using it

Did it work?

A fogger is just going to make them hide. A literal waste of your money. If you are wanting to use something "before" crossfire, THOROUGHLY vacuum! We went to vegas and found out we brought home some unwanted friends. We had our exterminator come out a week ago and our guy said foggers are an absolute waste of our money.

Yes you can spray preventative for bed bugs

I have PTSD from this nightmare! I was thinking about doing the same thing! Thanks for being brave enough to ask! I wouldn’t wish this on an enemy!

I need to know this too

Sounds like they are being reintroduced

Spray your car.

Any update?

Did you see any results

You didnt tell us 😂

I dont advise mixing only part of a bottle

They are coming from your neighbors, where they bit people or you are not having allergic reactions to the bites. Watch out for anything that connects your apartment to another such as water pipes coming through the wall, heaters (some buildings use hot water so pipes go from one apartment to the next), wall switches on a shared wall. They can squeeze through really tight spaces. These little bastards can crawl pretty fast across carpet so they can even come in under your door looking for a meal (you)!

Don’t spray it so heavy that it drips but sometimes it will run. Drips are normal it’s water based.

You can always look me up on Facebook and send me a picture of what you caught

@@GreenAkersPC thank you. I will.

@@ssergeant9682 hey, was one container enough for a 2 story house and did it work for you?? I plan to treat Tuesday and I’m wondering if I’ll have enough left.

I've done the same thing just break it down half would be 6 and 1/2 ounces to 1/2 gallon. If you want to do 4th you would have to do 3 and 1/4 oz of Crossfire to 1/4 gallon of water.

Did you use a spray bottle?

Crossfire doesn’t aggravate asthma. My son has Asthma and works with me all the time. Especially on bed bug work. If it bothers your asthma it’s probably more in your head than anything

Aprehend is a good chemical. I’d wait a couple months then see if the bed bugs are still around then try

@@GreenAkersPC I trust you can help me; It was applied January 1, 2022 and just this morning 9 bites. The live bugs are no doubt coming from the neighbour who told me today that within the week they will treat the entire triplex & the landlord found the cheapest exterminator & treatment (no details). It is only the top floor in my building with bugs but no doubt we will have to treat my entire building given we share a wall. I explained that we must keep each other informed as to what treatment we use as one might make the other useless. Any advice would be appreciated.

Aprehend does last 90 days though

Aerosols don’t last as long as mixed

You mean they don't last as long as in they don't kill the bugs for a longer period of time or I will run out quicker and have to buy more. Just clarifying. Thanks!

After sprayed, crossfire aerosol doesn’t last but maybe 2 weeks where the mix will last 30 days and do an entire house where a can off aerosol will only service a couple beds maybe

If your clothes have bed bugs in them and you are unable to launder them then you would need to throw them out. A lot of people use nuvan strips in bags sealed but they don’t always work

I would

I would give it a week or 2 with no spray at all then treat with crossfire

@Green Akers Pest Control LLC 👌 yup watched some more of your videos,and you spell it out loud and clear! Of course, I'll be diligent in the meantime. (Laundry, vacuuming, monitoring, etc) I search EVERYWHERE with a flashlight and a mirror at least 5x a day. I keep a daily record of what I do. It's been approximately 3 weeks since I found the hord in the curtains. I won't see any, and we won't have any bites. (For about 7-10 days). Then I'll see one under the bed (7-10 days pass) one up around the crown molding, (7-10 days pass) one in the interceptor trap. I can't imagine where the sob's are coming from. Please tell me that I'm winning the battles and that after the application of CrossFire I will have won the war!!! Thanks again

Hey. I have the exact same issue. Bought the ortho bug spray, but I do see minimal activity. I'm thinking of buying crossfire. Wanted to know if there was any update on the bugs. Also, what kind nozzle should I buy to spray?

Otho is a repellant and will cause them to spread

I ordered from Walmart app.

Where do you live

It is safe to use on a pack and play

@Green Akers Pest Control LLC so is it safe for the kid to chew on it if it is dry? Just double checking.

Do you have baby beavers? 🦫 I’m not sure how it effects beavers, you may need to call MGK

Hands down crossfire is leaps better than sterifab which is mostly rubbing alcohol

You used mattress encasements for one. Also it can take a month or so for them to all die. The solution isn’t instant

@@GreenAkersPC your not supposed to use bed bug encasements?? Lol

Think about it like this. If you treat the mattress then cover it up how will the bed bugs in your room come into contact with the treated bed

@@GreenAkersPC oh well the thing is I bought a new matress and box spring. That’s why I bought a cover.

​@@GreenAkersPCI sprayed my sofa, baseboards and area rug edges. I encased the sofa in plastic. Is that ok?

The aerosol? It isn’t

I believe bed bugs will eventually become resistant to crossfire. No idea when because I haven’t had issues at all with resistance yet. Bed bugs can spread crossfire

Thank you very much. You're very helpful with on spot advice.

I just bought a sprayer off of Amazon

Kennel the pets until the pesticides are dry or remove them from the house until dry.

Why would you want to mop the floor with it??? Please don’t do that

Because they are crawling all over the floor to attack me 😭 I paint brushed a light layer on some of the floor where I knew they were crawling but I couldn’t figure from where. I did all the base boards and light fixtures too but since I couldn’t find a nest or evidence I just sprayed the floor around a little too. I figured when I mop next it’ll pick it up off the floor anyway

did crossfire work?

I just ordered some today!! I hope this works!

@@jeanakatherine9369 did it work?

DE isn’t an option when using crossfire

@@GreenAkersPCcurious as to why?

I have the same question. I had already purchased the DE before I learned about Crossfire. Why can’t you use both?

Cimexa is better than DE and has 100% kill ratio. Crossfire and cimexa are suggested to use consecutively after crossfire dries put cimexa in cracks and crevices I also put it around my mattress and frame. It’s been two days and I’m feeling less bites I hope by day four I’m done or I’m ready to just light myself o fire

No you’re reinfested with a new batch

Yes it is meant to be sprayed on the bare mattresses

@@GreenAkersPC What about mattresses that are already in encasements?

Remove the encasements?

The headboard and footboard and rails all upholstered

Yes treat it all

@@GreenAkersPC ok thank you

I would yes.

115oz water + 13oz crossfire = 1 gallon of crossfire

@@GreenAkersPC thank you so much! Im going to be helping a friend of mine who has struggled with them for years and have been trying to make sure I'm as informed as possible before spraying.

I need to know the answer to that too?

Some people react instantly. Others can take days

No

I don’t think either is safer than the other

24 hours
