Brad this was really helpful information for my extended family I am passing along the video and helping them to clear up their issues......Thanks so much..................Nana ps I had sub and watch your channel in the pass with Justin Rhodes and family such a fine family but had pc problems and had to start over. Take Care Brad and hope all is well with you and the family on the Big Homestead. I would like to request prayers for my family and myself I am bed bound I don't make friends I would enjoy meeting others online for support. My hubby does everything for me. I am a disabled nurse of many years. I loved my job and the people I wish I could do something in that area to help and give back what I have learned over my years in the hospital and experience in life. I could write a short book here will watch more online. Thanks Again.

Thank you brad. This is one video my husband listened to. We special a thousand dollars just for heat and spray so much we wasted because the came back and these bugs are killed by the D- earth.

Diatamaceous earth is rarely enough on its own to rid of a bed bug infestation. Just use crossfire, its an effective and safe pesticide designed specifically for bed bugs, worked for me when Diatamaceous earth didn't.

What areas did you spray and did you take your bed apart and washed all your clothes? i’m about to use crossfire for the first time and I am kind of needing some tips on how to use it.

I watch your videos because you guys seem like such a nice family. I love to watch the animals and I learn a lot from you. I bought the same exact brand of D.E. powder. This definitely worked for you guys right?

Great video! Thank you! I'm curious how much DE you use? Like how tall are the perimeter barriers and how thick? How often do you sweep it up and re-apply? I have to keep DE around my baseboards permanently because the bugs keep coming over from my neighbor's apartment and he's not going to do anything to get rid of them. Also, do you dust your walls and ceiling? Thanks again for the very helpful video and your can-do attitude which is refreshing in the face of my bed bug blues.

Great video, thanks Brad! 👌👍

also used hot boiling water to wash the floors, I sprayed an insecticide called Hawx and I used a regular iron to vapor iron my clothes. Also diatomeas earth works, I bought it in Amazon, just spread a little bit in your room and bed.

Thank you so much! I had 3 adults and a dog stay with me 6 weeks. They never told me they had bedbugs! When I finally got around to deep cleaning the room they stayed in I found a bedbug!!! I'm freaking out because by now They are an infestation. Tommorow I am going to buy diatomaceous earth food grade. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

jerryjamify yeah i was told that worked too and I looked into it, it said it wasn’t as effective. But I used “diatomaceous earth” and “HOT SHOT BED BUG KILLER WITH EGG KILLER” I used both. 1st I washed all my clothes with hot water 2nd I dried it on high temp for 30 to 40 min. (I actually saw some dead in the dryer when I pulled out the lint to clean the dryer) 3rd i bagged all the clothes as soon as it came out of the drier. I put powder in first then clothes and then powder and more clothes and I ZIP tied the bags 4th I sprayed Bed Bug killer on clothes I did not wash and in every single corner as well as on my floor so they won’t try to get out 5th I laid powder down all around the base board of every single wall. I moved stuff off the walls so they won’t crawl on and hide so nothing was against the wall and I made circles around my furniture and I put powder down around my bed so they wouldn’t bite me. After that I battled for about 2 and half weeks and they were gone! The people I got it from don’t believe I actually got rid of them!!! And I’m so happy I did!!!

It kills bedbugs within twenty minutes and it healthy for you! Yes it does smell,but it the most effective way to get rid of them! If you clean were you are living thoroughly and spray everything down with onion juice for a month straight you will get rid of your bedbug problem! The reason I say do this for a month straight is because onion juice doesn't kill the eggs and the eggs will hatch every 6 to 10 days!
