FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: @JWhiteBBTV - In this episode Jeff will explain the areas on a bed you should inspect if you want to inspect your bed for bed bugs. As information spreads about bed bug infestations on the rise, more and more people want to inspect their bed for bed bugs. This episode will walk you through a bed inspection and the critical areas you should look if you want to inspect your bed for bed bugs. Please be aware that a visual inspection can be unreliable when trying to detect low level infestations of bed bugs. Therefore, if you perform an inspection and don't find any bed bugs, it does not necessarily mean you don't have bed bugs in your home. A knowledgeable professional should always be contacted if you think you may have bed bugs.

    I don’t see why people are being so mean, he’s not doing anything but trying to help, I personally like this guy and felt he was helpful
  • Also, if you think you have bedbugs,  something that is pretty simple, yet effective, is that you can take a role of clear, packaging duck tape, and outline the bottom of your box springs and mattress (with sticky side on the outside), and if when those little bastards come sneaking out during the night to get their free blood meal, their legs will get stuck on the tape, and be trapped.  Use push pins to secure the tape.  I tried this on my sisters apartment, and after the 2nd night, we found like 10 bedbugs that got stuck on the tape....just a thought...

    I’ve never encounter this bug in my life until recently. My father rented out one of our bedroom to his friend’s worker. That worker left after few months and my brother moved in, that’s where all the nightmares start. At first, he found out both of his leg were full of red rashes and were like bitten by some sort of insect but he didn’t know what has bitten him. Until one of the night when he is laying still on the bed, he feel something is “crawling” on his leg and he managed to caught one of the bed bug. The next day, he check his room and found out there are lots of bugs were sticking at the back of his mattress. And finally we got to know these bugs are so called bed bugs. He throws away his mattress and bed frame. He changed to a foldable plastic bed frame and bought a new mattress. Although he changed the sleeping bed, but he was still got bitten at night. That nasty bugs somehow found their ways and has spread to my room! 😭😭😭 I was bitten at night and got allergy reaction until my wounded area are all swollen. Since then, I’ve kept my lights on whenever I’m sleeping and I was so stressed out because I don’t really had enough rest. Unable to get pest control service because of the pandemic lockdown. I’ve googled and read a lot of bed bugs articles online. Try numerous method like spraying essential oil, spreading DE powder, put insect sticky traps under my bed, spray bed bugs repellent on my bed, wardrobe, drawer, wall. The bed bugs reduced but still I got bitten at night. After reading a lot of information in internet. I’ve decided I should bought a high temperature/pressure steam + vacuum machine to treat the bed bugs. I started to steam + vacuum my whole room and my bed. Double steam all of my clothes, wrapped my bed frame with few layer of plastic film, soak all my mattress cover in hot boiled water to kill all the potential bed bugs egg. The whole process took me more than a month. Every night, I will steam + vacuum my whole bed and floor an hour before I get on my bed. And I’m glad I’m finally bed bug free. Just need to be very thorough when doing all the cleaning and it take times.

  • @BedBugCentralTV
    thank you, the comments on this video are pretty innocent but some of the other videos I have on youtube the comments get nasty (I find them amusing) so it's nice to hear a positive comment from time to time
  • Bed bugs suck... Once you get them it seems like everybody judges you and looks at you like your trashy
  • @xguti001
    God damn it’s 2am and I’m right here. Found one on my shirt as I went to the bathroom and another one during a quick inspection. I need some sleep...work early and I can tell I’m in for a loooooong day.
  • @mariposakedi
    You say bed bugs don't generally go on the bed frames. But in my case I knew there were bed bugs but I could not find them, it happens to be they were hiding inside where the metal meets the wheel. Around 50 bugs in each wheel. Those sukers are a master in hiding.
  • @shernaj255
    I actually found one following this video, tried to grab it with a chain saw and think i need a new mattress
  • @juliangomez9597
    I love this guy. Lol he's very clear , thorough, funny, and easy to understand.
  • @nerdgant
    the person that's recorded this video's nose is whistling...I thought I was doing it at first
  • @BedBugCentralTV
    its pads the sharp edges on the bed frame from ripping and tearing the bed encasements that are on the box spring, the felt is a very important part of encasing your bed as it greatly extends the life of encasements
  • @luckygirljihyo
    The fact the bed bugs I had made a whole 4 hour trip to me and a 4 hour trip to the bottom of my bed is dedication that I don’t have. Anyway we threw out our hold bed frame and matress and now I’m traumatized
  • @trinamosner9802
    Those wall panels are heaven for bed bug eggs. Especially in the lines. Ugh those bloodsuckers are a nightmare
