  Hey I just wanted to tell you that one time I got bed bugs and your videos helped me get rid of them. That being said I realized I really enjoy pest control work. Now 2 years later I’m a pest control technician with Plunketts thanks for your help you’ve helped me more than you know! 🙏

  I&apos;ve used Crossfire before, but as an ingredient in a cocktail with a far more complicated procedure that took days. I was getting bit Saturday, sprayed Crossfire following your exact instructions and the label Sunday, got bit once that night. The following day, my Roomba had 8 dead bugs in it, zero bites last night. Today? Not even a leg in the Roomba. I turned my apartment inside out again, not a sign of life anywhere.<br><br>It&apos;s a little early to call it, but I&apos;m still going to call you my savior sir. You&apos;re a damn good man.

  Used the information I got from your video. Been bite free for a couple nights and went from seeing one every day to none. Hopefully I’m in the clear! Thank you so much for your help

  I discovered bed bugs last year and bought a steamer. Steamed and washed everything, knocked the population back a lot. But still seeing a bug every 2-6 weeks. Would re-steam everything in the room after finding one. Finally found your videos and sprayed crossfire 2 weeks ago. Found 2 dead bugs since. Will spray again in 2 weeks. It’s a miracle, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

  Hi, Jason. &nbsp;I wanted to thank you for your videos. &nbsp;I was fighting a flea infestation about a year ago and couldn&apos;t afford an exterminator. &nbsp;I watched your videos and eliminated the infestation myself. &nbsp;It wasn&apos;t easy. &nbsp;Those fleas, as you know, are resilient, and it took several treatments, and a change in meds for my cat, but I had them all killed off in the end.

  This guy is spot on on several things in this video. &nbsp;Have never ssen a live BB in my house but found two dead and can&apos;t find them anywhere but know they are here. Have used all kinds of traps and other things that simply don&apos;t work. These bugs are the masters of hiding and nocturnal beast. They like to hide under cabinets and drawers and behind electrical outlets. I cover my outlets with tape when not using. Cracks around baseboards and under flooring should be calked up good. One thing this guy says that is also big is you may have other bugs like spiders and chiggers ,fleas,red bugs, that are biting you making you think it&apos;s bed bugs. &nbsp;The dog inspection is the way to go as a free inspection will not find bed bugs unless it&apos;s a serious infestation. The hardest thing to find is a few straggler BB that are hiding and using you for a meal only. AC ducts,electrical outlets and furniture. This is the best video I&apos;ve watched and this guy has it right in so many ways !! Thanks Green Akers. !!!

  I got a professional and they came 3 times over 3 months and we just saw more tonight. Were freaking out. My wife and kids had to stay away for all that time. You seem good and would great to have cross fire in canada.

  I knew the cleanest people with them and the nastiest people who live in houses literally covered in mold and feces who never had them or maybe it was so dirty you couldn’t tell 😂

  Hey Jason! I started watching your videos. Visited my mother, &nbsp;and in a few weeks I saw like 5 looking at me from my mattress. It was a what in the heck moment. I bought a bunch of the cross fire. Just went through my house, &nbsp;and working on my mother&apos;s.
