![Does Diatomaceous Earth REALLY work for Bed Bugs? [COMPLETE Tutorial]](/img/n.gif)
Just FYI, I used this video over a year ago in my own home, and combined with the plastic sheeting between all the mattresses in our home, we were completely bedbug-free in 2 months. Now I'm returning to refresh my memory to help a friend who brought some critters home from a hotel stay. This method WORKS!
@__Kkmm0931___...to help a friend, what a nice thing to hear. That's why I made the bedbug trap, people helping themselves and then helping other people. As long as we have a friend, we have everything, and even sometimes, the solution to a nightmare. That’s how good the trap is. It does its job quietly and completely and is then passed to a friend.
Thank you Kmm0931. I’m happy about the loss of your bedbugs. It all began when you started putting pitfalls and obstacles in their way, blocking their only way to get to you and luring them into traps. The ones in the pitfalls were the lucky ones, they suffocated in 12-24 hours from the CO2 in the glass, but the ones under the shield suffered for two months in the throes of starvation. They could not feed on you anymore and they starved to death. Hmm, what a fitting ending for a bedbug. And all the credit is yours; you eradicated the whole colony all by yourself! Bravo!
May I suggest:

TESTIMONY ! I found about ten adult sized bed bugs in the trap this morning. There might be smaller ones within the powder which I couldn't see, but this approach works like a magic. Then I immediate made another two traps, and placed them at another two corners of my apartment. I'll update my results in two days. This is definitely a huge contribution to the entire human race.
@__ Yu Zhang__Excellent, thank you. Finding our first bedbugs in the traps is our reward for trusting this method that we can do all by ourselves. It is a confidence booster and hopes to finally eliminate them. You will not be deceived as your results will be repeated every day, catching less and less bedbugs as their numbers go down. The traps are relentless, on the job 24/7 until there is not a single bedbug left.
And then, keep a few traps running at half strength (using only half the amount of yeast) to make the traps act as sentinels against any future infestation. Catching the very first bedbugs before they even have a chance to feed and produce more little bedbugs.
And there is more about eliminating bedbugs. A shield to stops all and any bedbug as soon as they invade your place, keeping them from being able to bite and feed from your blood. A bedbug that cannot feed is a harmless and helpless bedbug. Bedbugs absolutely need blood to molt and grow. Denying your blood to those bedbugs breaks their life cycle and makes them die of starvation. Bedbugs absolutely need blood to lay eggs and multiply. By keeping bedbugs from being able to feed, you break any possibility of getting more bedbugs from brooding. And ultimately, by keeping bedbugs from being able to feed, they simply die of starvation and you get rid of all bedbugs permanently.
The bedbug shield is an impenetrable barrier that no bedbug can get through or around it. A bedbug shield is made with a simple contour sheet placed directly on the mattress about one inch above the floor, and to which you fix a plastic skirt hanging down all around the bed. Once the plastic skirt is in place, seal it to the sides of the contour sheet using common duct tape that sticks well to both fabric and plastic. I suggest using white duct tape because it looks better than the usual grey one. Here is an example on how to make your own bedbug shield: The Bedbug Shield
The best place to place bedbug traps is under the bed and behind each leg of the bed. The plastic skirt of the shield also keeps small breezes from blowing CO2 out of the small glass pitfalls bedbugs fall into.
You are right in saying that there might be smaller bedbugs in the powder. If you look close enough, you will see small clump of powder covering tiny near transparent bedbugs, hatchlings and first stages bedbugs.
You have nice words to describe what I am doing and I thank you. It is true that bedbug traps are a gift for those who are stuck with bedbugs and that now have the means to defend themselves. That is the only reason why I made the traps and to share it with other people who just like me were stuck with bedbugs. I have been bedbug-free for nearly four years in spite of the fact that I regularly go in bedbug infested places. I simply want this knowledge to be passed on and I am happy that you could find hope by trying this and making your own bedbug traps.
The best to you Sir

Okay. Another 7 big bed bugs was captured by the CO2 traps over the two nights. I also found and killed 3 live ones myself at around 11pm before I sleep. My apartment has been unocupied for near two months, and these bed bugs are very hungry. My bed is isolated from the ground by the shield, bed bugs cannot reach the bed unless they land off from the ceiling. In two days, pest control guys will perfrom spread in my apartment. I hope everything would go back to normal in two weeks.
Yu Zhang Well with two bedbug elimination systems, I just can't see you with any bedbugs in a near future.
Pesticides repels and pushes bedbugs away and the trap and shield gathers them and neutralize them. Keep the shield on and the traps running, do not let the exterminator take them off because ithe traps and the shield is a prevention system and it will catch and eliminate any bedbugs that will not be killed by pesticides.
I remember watching this video back in 2013 or 2014. The trap works. Just needed a refresher course... and of course to hear that amazing voice of his.
He has what they call a "golden throat".
I want to give my testimony as well. When I made my first trap, everyday I checked it to see for results. I never saw anything, so I had my doubts. I wasn't getting bitten anymore and the only bed bugs I saw where two dead ones. I didn't change the trap after two weeks and this morning I found a nymph and its shedding :(
However! When I went to change the basket, among all the baby powder I saw a bunch of little dead ones plus an adult!! I was so happy, it really does work! I'm going to stay on top of the traps and change them every 2 weeks until we are bed bug free. Also, I checked out your other videos and I love the sinister laugh accompanied with dead bed bugs. Death to them all!
T Soto so did this work
Are you still bed bug free?
You are a model internet citizen!! Providing a real service to everyone, everywhere, regardless of language spoken. And even giving links to other videos with recommendations on how their methods might be better than yours!! Your reply to Elizabeth was wonderful!! From the red welts on my body lately, I think I may have a bedbug problem, so I will try out the CO2 methods as soon as I review these videos to decide which is best. Many, many thanks for your valuable service!!
You know something I'll be glad to stand trial for being the most mass murderer of bed bugs in history they are of no use to the human race exterminate them all
This is genius, Bed bugs are on a rise again. and you have a good heart to help people. Thank You!
I made a trap and it took about 36 hours before it started to work. But it does work. Wow! I'm very glad I found your videos. Thank you. Merci😉
This trap work effective?
just made one last night and already caught quite a few tiny ones and a few large ones. i watched this vid a while back and wasnt quite sure how to make the basket thing so i gave up, but after watching other vids, i realized all i needed was a "bowl with a skirt" as one guy put it. so i came back to this one to get the measurements and a better understanding of how to make the yeast emit co2. so far so good, going to make a couple more. :) THANKS!
@__Patricia Garza__That's great. Catching our first bedbugs brings hope, we can beat bedbugs and your results prove it. The traps are relentless, on the job 24/7 and they will keep catching bedbugs until there are none left.
I agree that the basket thing is difficult to make. I made this video over two years ago and I didn't know about the bowl with a skirt then. I made other videos since then and they are much easier to do and to understand. The best ones are now made with a small 1 oz shot glass, also made with a skirt, of course, and placed behind each leg of the bed. The CO2 generator, a simple 2L bottle or a container of any size and shape can also be placed near the wall and out of the way, simple airline tubing (found in a Pet Shop or a Hardware store) brings the CO2 from the generator and into the small pitfall glasses.
The 2L mixture can also be separated into four smaller 500ml bottles and four small pitfall glasses, to make four traps instead of just one.
If you think that CO2 bedbug traps are great, wait until you add a bedbug shield to the traps. A bedbug shield is a contour sheet with a plastic skirt. Use a long plastic strip about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long to make the skirt that will be fixed to the sides of the mattress and hanging down almost to the floor (about one inch above the floor). Once the skirt will be adjusted and in place, put one of your contour sheets directly on the mattress and seal it to the top of skirt with white duct tape. Bedbugs will not be able to go through the fabric contour sheet and will not be able to go sideways through the plastic skirt surrounding the bed. The contour sheet will make it comfortable to sleep on and the plastic skirt will make bedbugs drop to the floor where the four traps will catch them. The major advantage of the bedbug shield is that it stops all bedbug bites at once. Bedbugs trapped under the shield will not be able to feed and will slowly die of starvation. Here is another video about how to make your own bedbug shield: The Bedbug Shield
Bedbugs that cannot feed cannot molt. Without our blood, bedbugs cannot grow. Bedbugs that cannot feed cannot lay eggs. Without our blood, bedbugs cannot multiply. Bedbugs that cannot feed simply cannot survive. Without our blood, bedbugs starve to death.
Thank you Patricia for trusting the CO2 BedbugTrap. More information can be found at: julesnoise.com/

Excellent! Easy to follow! I prefer the "silent" treatment...
Thank you!
Monsieur, thank you so much for this! I do much international travel and have been very worried about bringing bedbugs into my home for years. No problem, until suddenly NOW! I must tell you, I was freaking OUT! I have just made my first traps from your video, which was very well done and easy to understand.
This proves that you can teach something without saying a damn word. I love this video! And thank you for your time and patience. Well done. Great device.
Thats what books are
@@TAPTENPAREY lol
I have good news! I caught 2 last night with this trap. I have bought an expensive trap ($50) which has the pheromone and kairomone lure. It caught nothing for 2 weeks. As soon as I put the new trap next to it, I got 2 in the new trap. The expensive trap still has no business. Thank you so much! You are such a blessing!
Thank's for sharing, It's 8:50 Am of a Sunday Morning, And haven't closed an eye last night.
I want to thank u so much for making the videos and posting them. The traps work really well, awesome even. Since I had came across th video it has helped out here. I never before had bedbugs til my bf moved in and his friend brought it there to his old place. To.make the story short, my youngest was really being attacked and I found out what they were, researched and seen every video u posted even in websites. I tried it out and it works out wonderfully. I am able to sleep in some comfort because before I would stay up all night checking my kids beds and killing the bugs. I believe thanks to u that the human~vs~bb is over but im still laying out traps in every room and of course checking my kids only a few times whereas before constantly. When I do check on them laying on their beds I rarely see one because ur traps r amazing.thank u so much I know my kids thank u especially my youngest who was ate up badly.
I made this trap when can I check ?
I made a trap. But I did the cup with water bottle straws. Seen in your other videos! I had about 4-5 hour sleep after I set it and found 2 in the morning trapped! This works well! Let's see you many there will be on 15 hours when I'm back home!
Thank you SO much for showing us how to make these traps! I can vouch that they really do work! My husband and I are using gallon milk jugs and cutting them in half. It's amazing how just using every day household items kills these bugs! The trick is to get the water you mix in with the yeast and sugar at 100°. I'm so glad I found this video!
Beautiful no talking a first for me on CZcams. Nice job
I love how serious He looks.
Thank you, Jules! To tell you the truth, I have already spent $1500 on steamer cleaner, special vacuum, sprays, mattress encasement, different traps, etc. I also have been thinking about hiring professionals (spending another $3000-5000). But the preparation list they gave me is next to impossible, and they told me if I don't comply with the list, they would not guarantee their work. I felt utterly helpless and hopeless! I suffered depression and lost 7 pounds in one week. Life was no lon
Nice video. Try not to talk so much next time. :)
lol
Yea right?!
SSHHH!
LOL!!
I have done this treatment now for 9 days and 10 nights..I had 2 X 2 L bottles and 1 large 4 L container.( Huge where I used 1 KG sugar and 200 gr yeast.) I spent $ 30 on sugar and I can't tell you how much on yeast. Probably $ 40-$50... I followed the instructions really properly. I had proper plastic tubing that funneled into the bases underneath the large container and the 2 bottles..No bugs got trapped. I then took my bedroom back. I made the bed with new sheets and duvet. 3 nights later I got bitten. one bite on my arm and one bite on my calf. Pissed off. I am not sure this is such a brilliant idea. I mean, they say you can trap bugs in 2-3 nights. ?? I changed the yeast and sugar solutions daily and each night. to be sure it was the best and strongest strength..I have spent so much money for nothing.
great video. thanks for taking the time to do this for us!
Thank you. This belongs to everybody and is meant for anybody that might need it. It works, it is inexpensive and anybody can make his own. I would have been a fool to keep it to myself. My time is my own way of sharing. A stranger is often a friend we haven't met yet.
Thank you Tom
It has been around 3 weeks since my first bed bug attack. I built the shield per your excellent video. Week 1 = 40 bites. Week 2 = 7 bites. Week 3 = 2 bites. So the trend looks good. I am hoping for zero bites this week! I built one C02 trap, but do not think it caught any. I put an interceptor around each bed post. It caught 1-2 tiny ones, but maybe more as they are all coated in baby powder. Thanks again for your excellent advice on the shield! I wonder why no other website mentions it?
@__jdion79__[how long can you keep a trap out before replenishing it's contents?]
The sugar and yeast mixture lasts 2-3 weeks. When the fermentation is spent, the liquid becomes clear like lemonade compared to being light tan colored and cloudy when the process is active and giving off CO2. Here is the Recipe: julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe5.jpg
@__jdion79__[I have a question. Can I put the traps away from the bed like in closets or by electrical outlets? It may not be as effective without a warm body nearby but would it work nonetheless?]
You can put up as many traps as you want and wherever you want. I recommend putting four traps under the bed and behind the legs because it is the main place where bedbugs will go to try to climb in the bed, it is where they are the most effective and right in their path. But can be used elsewhere and work to protect another area away from the bed. A closet suspected of harboring bedbugs can have its own trap, and yes nearby electrical outlets. You can place one close to the place you sit and work on your computer or another one near the front door where the very first hitchhiking bedbug will come in. That one can even be decorative and blend in the surrounding area. Can you believe that this is a bedbug trap? julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/very-creative-bedbug-trap.jpg.
You can also place a trap on each side of a couch or an armchair, bedbugs detecting you while you sit or rest on them will also detect the CO2 coming from those traps before the start climbing up from the floor.
You just can’t lose by having many traps. Fighting bedbugs is like going fishing, the more lines you have the more chance you have at catching something. And traps are so inexpensive that it is not a problem making as many as you want. You can also divide the 2L mixture in four and make four 500ml traps instead of just one __ (Easiest and Fastest Bedbug Trap ever at: Easiest and Fastest Bedbug Trap ever)
Traps are amazing; I’m still impressed by what the trap can do after four years and thousands of bedbug traps. And it is not all because traps are the most effective when they work under a bedbug shield. A bedbug shield is an impenetrable barrier that covers the bed and stops all bedbug bites at once. A shield is made with a regular contour sheet placed directly on the mattress and a plastic skirt hanging down almost to the floor. The skirt is a long plastic strip about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long fixed to the sides of the mattress and adjusted to leave a space of about one inch above the floor. Once the plastic skirt is in place, place the contour sheet on top of the mattress and completely seal it to the top of the skirt with duct tape. Here is an example of such a bedbug shield: The Bedbug Shield
Bedbugs stuck under a bedbug shield are completely neutralized and they cannot reach you anymore. Stuck under the shield, bedbugs cannot bite and are unable to feed. Bedbugs cannot molt without our blood to feed on, no more than they can lay eggs. It is quite simple; bedbugs stuck under a shield will never feed (bite) again and will die of starvation. Starving bedbugs to death, that’s the wonder of the bedbug shield.
With CO2 bedbug traps on the floor and a bedbug shield on the bed, no bedbug will be able to bite you. They work relentlessly, 24/7, catching bedbugs every time they come out of hiding and search to find us to feed and the only find the CO2 given off by the traps while other bedbugs already in the bed search for a way to get pass the shield and find none, spending all their energy in vain and finally die of exhaustion and starvation.
It is the beauty of the trap, once your set up is done, there is nothing else left to do but wait for bedbugs to eliminate themselves driven by the hunger that make them come out of hiding.
No more bedbug hunts and no more bites. And all of that because you were smart enough to ask relevant questions. Thank you. There is more information about bedbugs and the CO2Bedbug Trap at: julesnoise.com/
Best regards

Jules, your tutorials rock! Its so very kind of you.. Note, people have been finding manicmonday's cut-off soda-bottles easy, using inverted top inserted into base of soda-bottle. So I'm trying another version. Drilled a hole in the underpart of a 7oz. container. Then inserted that into a 32oz. container. A used yogurt or marsh-fluff container may suffice. A good plastic-cutting scissors is needed to cut the rims of each so the climb-over pitfalls are sharp enough. My main problem is adapting your formula for those. Another prob. is that my dad is at my sister's apt. And they've not thrown out the couch where I need to rest during dad-visits. And none of the pop-up bedbug-tents are narrow enough to fit on the couch.
+minniyoutubaster ___ Excellent, you are smart and proved that you understand how a trap works, all you need are a few hints how to apply it to your own needs and stop the bedbug problem.
Your method of making traps is just as good as any I ever made and suggested. There are many ways to make bedbug traps, it is not the things we use that are important but how we use it. A trap works because it gives off CO2, one of the only two attractants that lures bedbugs to climb up on the side of a small pitfall, and fall inside of it without being able to come out. That's the reason why the pitfall is covered with cloth, paper towel or anything on the outside so that bedbugs can easily climb on. It is the inside of the pitfall that has to be smooth and slippery so bedbugs cannot climb back out. Any trap that has CO2 overflowing from a pitfall with its exterior easy to climb for bedbugs and inside too slick to climb out makes a bedbug trap. Some people making their own design of traps are very ingenious and they all work, here is an example of someone who made bedbug traps out of a flower vase : julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/very-creative-bedbug-trap.jpg Traps are best placed behind each leg of a bed or at both ends of a couch because that's where bedbugs are. Traps that do not fit under the bed can be placed outside and have the same results, placing them under the bed is only to get them out of the way and safe from being accidently knocked down and make a sticky sugary mess.
The recipe that produces CO2 is fermentation. It comes from CO2 generators to feed plants in aquariums, it just turned out to be the right amount of CO2 to attract bedbugs and lasting long enough so we do not have to replace it too often. The quantity of sugar and water can vary but the quantity of yeast is fixed because we use a whole enveloppe of yeast, usually 7-8 grams. It takes about 2-3 weeks for the yeast to eat two cups of sugar in two liters of water. Here is the recipe: julesnoise.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/c02-bedbug-trap-__-recipe8.jpg. Since the recipe is for two liters and you use 7 oz containers (207.015 ml), you can fill ten traps with a 2L mixture, so you could make only half a recipe and have five traps, three for the bed and two for the couch. Keep opened yeast enveloppes in the refrigerator so it can be re-used.
CO2 bedbug traps attract and catch bedbug on the floor from anywhere in the room. All bedbugs go towards the traps when they are hungry and try to feed. When bedbugs get close to the legs of the bed, they detect the CO2 from the traps and mistake it from the CO2 from our respiration. Bedbugs follow the CO2. climb up where the CO2 comes from , get to the rim of the pitfall and fall into it without being able to got out. To make the inside of your pitfall really too slippery for bedbugs to get a grip, use a light coat of baby powder on the inside of your pitfalls.
The easiest way to make a bedbug shield is to drape a large sheet of plastic over the bed and the couch, letting the plastic sides hang almost all the way down to the floor. This plastic with no holes and no opening in it will and does stop all and any bedbug that might try to get to you no matter if they come from anywhere in the room or are already in the bed and the couch. This shield is total protection from bedbugs and along with the traps, it stops and eliminate bedbugs right down to the last one. All bedbug bites will stop at once and you will not get another bedbug bite.
Draping a plastic over the bed and couch is the simplest and easiest way to make a shield, it only takes a few minutes, but it is not the most comfortable and safest way. Plastic can be uncomfortable and sweaty, it is also slippery and can be very slippery. Instead of draping a plastic over the bed and couch, use a fabric contour sheet and a long strip of plastic of about 2 feet by 25 feet all around the bed. Seal the contour sheet and the top of that plastic skirt to make a comfortable bedbug shield that will stay in place and will keep bedbugs unable to reach you and bite you.
The couch can be protected the same way. Use a large regular fabric sheet over the couch and place it to allow some movement when using it. Let the sides of the fabric sheet hang down all around the couch and once all the ends are about even but without touching the floor, tie it up near the base of the couch to prepare it to receive another long strip of plastic fixed and seal to the sides of the fabric sheet with duct tape. The lenght of the plastic strip should be a few inches longer than all the sides of the couch, while the width depends on your couch and the size of your fabric sheet, but that can be easily figured out.
And you should be all set with shields and traps for both the bed and the couch. But you might prefer to kill all bedbugs at once and this can be done with dry ice. Dry ice is solid CO2 at minus 78°F. It is very cold, always use gloves to handle dry ice but other than frostbites, it is harmless. It kills bedbugs by asphyxiating them in nearly pure CO2 that comes from dry ice. Outside the bag or when opening it, this concentrated CO2 mixes with the ambiant air and becomes as harmless as before, it must be highly concentrated to have no oxygen left in the bag to kill bedbugs. It takes a few hours to kill bedbugs but I suggest to leave it on for 24 hours before taking it off and use the the couch right away, other than a light vacuuming maybe, being absolutely sure that there are no live bedbugs at all in the couch.
To form the plastic bag around the couch, get a large sheet of 2 mils painter's plastic, at least 12' x 12' or more, too large being better than too small, lay it flat on the floor and place (roll) the couch upside down on the middle of the plastic sheet . Then lift all the sides of the plastic to cover the couch all the way up to form a bag around the couch. Use 2" clear wrapping tape to hold it up and once all the sides are up and straped around the couch to hold it and form the bag, put and spread the dry ice directly on the couch, seal the opening of the sides of the plastic together and close the bag. The sealed bag needs 20-30 needle holes at the upmost top part of the plastic bag to let air escape.
Dry ice does not melt and turns directly into gas, leaving no residues and causing no damage whatsoever to the couch, it only becomes cold and is back to room temperature within a few hours. The amount of dry ice is at least 10 pounds for an average size couch, more if you have a big couch, again better to have too much than too little. Dry ice does not keep, it is best to get everything ready before getting the dry ice at a local supplier, dry ice begins to sublimate as soon as you get it. Dry ice sells about 1$/pound.
The dry ice procedure is not required to get rid of bedbugs, the shields and the traps are more than enought to take care of the bedbugs and you are not bothered by bedugs while they fall into traps and slowly die of starvation under the shield. You just took all their food away and now they have nothing, absolutely nothing to survive. The more active they get and the more they struggle under the shield and the quicker they die. The dry ice procedure is only an alternative to get rid of bedbugs more quickly and recuperate our beds, couchs, belongings or anything you might want to clear out of bedbugs right now! But you will be fine without it as this method implies planning, additional expenses and extra work. Some think it is worth it, others got rid of their bedbugs without even knowing about it and did fine, just as you will.
Bedbugs do not last long when you know how to catch them, starve them and asphixiate them, they do not even fight back, tortured by hunger and unable to feed. I stopped feeding them, they never came back. Do it, this is something you will not regret, knowledge is power.

+Julien Noiseux Hi, sorry for the delay. I actually did smear baby powder around the interiors of each pitfall. Your formula just managed to fill the lower-levels of my 4 contraptions - such as the lower-level of 32oz. yogurt (with 7oz. being the upper-level), or else the lower-levels of 2L-cutoff which is identical to manicmonday's picture. Re: Couch-cover, its too hard for me, and its not even my apt. Rather my dad's at my sister. Even the ready-made FurnitureSafe is too hard for me, and what if bedbugs get onto the couch-cover anyway in case they're not eradicated? As for dad's hospital bed, that's probably impossible, because he prefers what he's used to, rather than an upheaval. Unfortunate, but that's the way it is.
I explained my experience in a bit more detail in manicmonday's blog.
See various comments under alias judy smith.
I also referred to you as I'm eclectic,
I.E. your recipe with some revisions, and Manic's trap idea.
I'm also puny, thus always choose paths of least resistance!
www.instructables.com/id/Easiest-Bed-Bug-Trap/
+Julien Noiseux P.S. Here is how I wrote out the recipe to use together with two of ManicMonday's traps, plus two of my 32oz./7oz. versions, for a total of FOUR MINI-CONTRAPTIONS.
ITEMS NEEDED:
Baby powder
Blue Stik fun-tac
Red-yellow yeast packet
4 lb. sugar
8-cup pitcher STERILE
4 qt. pot STERILE
ladle STERILE
my tall tri-corner glass
Teaspoon STERILE
7 oz. disposable cups
(1) Fill 4 qt. pot w/filtered water till top of inner gromets. BOIL IT.
(2) Wait till boiled water cools to 100 degrees
wait time approx. 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs.
(3) Ladle 4 oz. of the water to the tri-corn glass
(4) Add tsp. sugar to the 4 oz. water and stir well
(5) Add yeast packet to the 4 oz. mix
(6) Stir alot to produce bubbles.
Let it rest 10 min. till there is foamy topping
(7) Pour remaining water from pot into pitcher till the 6-cup mark
(8) Use 7 oz. disposable cup to measure 3 cups sugar to pour into pitcher of water. Stir well to dissolve sugar.
(9) Pour the foamy-glass mixture into the pitcher of tepid sweet water. Stir well to finalize the CO2 mix.
(10) Distribute the CO2 mix from pitcher into the various mini-traps. Insert the pit-falls
(11) With fingers, smear baby-powder all over the interior of the pit-falls
(12) Using blue-stik, attach traps to floor at red-flag-side of couch
Merci monsieur. I'm going to try this and will let you know how it works out.
Did it work?
I have them and am freaking out man!!!
@@chriswiggins4842 it works?
Pro trick : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Trey Bryant definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)
@Trey Bryant yea, I have been using flixzone for since december myself :D
SO MUCH THANKS THAT GUIDE ---SHOWING SIMPLE FORMULA--SO MUCH SIMPLE WAY ---BEST THING IS THAT ---NOTHING CONFUSING LANGVAGE---SIMPLY WITH PERFECT ACTION---NOTHING HIDE---GREAT-GREAT THANKSFULY
Thanks for posting your time and mixture. That's really helping a lot of people that don't know they have them!
This is great. No talking just doing and getting rid of creepy bed bugs!
@__ProBuNdi__There are two types of yeast, one that rises in the air and used mainly in baking and the other that rises in liquid as for in wine making. Traditional dry bakery yeast might be for baking only. The one that works best for me is Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast which is found in most grocery stores.
Yeast keeps in cool dry places and often becomes flat on warm store shelves.
Water has to be lukewarm (40C/100F).
Bottle and instruments must be sterile, rinsed with very hot water.
Continued: life was no longer joy but pain and suffering...I suffered depression and lost 7 pounds in one week. But now I see light at the end of tunnel! Thanks to people like you! I am most grateful! Have you thought about going into business and share your knowledges to help people with a reasonable fee?
Yes. Anything they can climb on, fabric, paper towel, tissue.. as long as bedbugs can use their hooks in it. On the other hand, the inside has to be as slippery as possible and should be dusted with talcum powder.
Are you using tubing or straws to bring to Co2 in a cup or a glass? It is easier that way.
Also, do not forget to cover the bed with a plastic sheet with the traps underneath the bed, this is what stops the bites while the traps catch the bugs.
I'm happy to help.

@__Faraz H__1/2__I often say that the shield and traps do not have to be perfect to work. It is unusual to have so many bites after you have put the shield on the bed, but the trap still work even if there is a way that bedbugs have found to get to you on top of the bed. Sometimes, there is an harborage behind the headboard or behind a picture frame on the wall, those bedbugs can get to you on the bed but as soon as they had their blood meal, they get off the bed and go down to the floor.
Thanks for the metric to US conversion 😌
Thank you so much for all of your help...I will keep you posted on the progres. Happy Thxgiving!
@__Moysterx__3/7__The mattress can be used safely with a simple occasional inspection in case bedbugs find other ways to get on top of it. One way are bed sheets touching the walls and/or the floor. Another way is bedbugs climbing up the walls and onto the ceiling to drop down onto the bed.
Excellent Detailed Presentation. Thank you so much!!!
great! this is the only thing out there that explains that one needs to wait for the yeast to rise!!! That's probably why most are getting it wrong. thx!
Thank you for all your instructions!!!!
I just have two or three questions
The talcum powder that we used seems to be perfumed, will that spoil the effect?
After how long does the Co2 mixture have to be redone?
Is one trap under the bed insufficient?
I had the same concern about the talcum powder but believe me they do not deter the bugs from being attracted! All they know is they smell CO2 and they come because they want to feed. It's genius. In my experience I feel like about a week they should be redone
You can use one trap but you will catch more using at least 2. He recommends 4
I did like you video in the beginning. but after wondering why got so many view, I decide to watch your whole video and glad I did. You are very informative. THANKS.
Thanks dude because of you my room is bedbug free .... now onto the rest of my house
@__Joy Mckay__Don't bother, the same thing that cleared your room out of bedbugs will get rid of all and every bedbug that might be in the rest of the house.
See, it is very simple, bedbugs are drawn to a sleeping person and will come out of hiding all by themselves no matter where they are in a house to get to that person to try to feed. For a bedbug there are only two options, to bite or to die. So if you keep them from being able to bite (feed from your blood), they simply die of starvation.
Keep your shield in place and your traps running and all bedbugs will go towards the bed to try to feed. The same thing that caught all bedbugs in your room will catch bedbugs that will go in that same room. Bedbugs cannot chose to go towards you or not, they always do. It is when they move that the shield stops them and the traps catch them. It works all the time, every time.
But if you prefer to go on a bedbug hunt, you can. Use the right means to defeat them. A very efficient way to clear any room out of bedbugs is to use bedbug barriers. Bedbug barriers are simple bands of scotch tape covered with a light coat of talcum powder.
Scotch tape is a natural barrier for bedbugs. When applied vertically on legs of furniture, above the baseboards of the walls or any other place you do not want bedbugs to be able to go, this talcum powder covered tape is too slippery for bedbugs to get a grip on it. They simply cannot cross it and always fall back down to the floor where the traps are. See how bedbug barriers works at: Bedbug Barriers - Stop All Bedbugs and Eliminate Them!. This video also shows how to make bedbug barriers.
Happy hunting, I enjoy killing bedbugs.
JulesNoise
Gonna do that , but where should i place it , top or under the bed !! And for how long!!
Just gotta say you're a life saver. This really works . thank you very much.
Just wondering how long does the yeast and sugar last before you need to make another batch.
Henry Scott i saw 2-3 weeks
@@exquisite8967 is this dangerous to breathe in for short or long periods of time?
@@excelmango5454 it's CO2 which we breath out. It won't suffocate you. The concentration isn't very high.
@@infinityplusone72 thank you that's what I thought but wasn't sure
@@infinityplusone72c02 is dangerous actually
not sure if it is clear to everyone on the measurements and that's another reason i waited so long to do this. i just didn't know the exact measurement to use. what i did was 4 ounces warm water from the faucet, 2 tablespoons sugar, and one yeast packet. stir vigorously until you get some bubbles. let sit for ten minutes. it will rise perfectly. fill a 2 liter bottle with warm water leaving room to add 2 cups of sugar and the yeast mixture (which will double in size, so about 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups).
@__Patricia Garza__You got it perfectly. Adding more sugar will make the mixture last longer while adding more yeast will produce more CO2 quickly but the mixture will be spent faster.
JnSavedByTheBell ok, awesome thanks for the info. :)
I've been spending my day so far watching bedbug extermination methods/traps and this one is brilliant! Using their instincts against them is just clever in and of itself. I know what I'm going to be investing in come payday tomorrow.
Nice. I'll make this. We've been dealing with bed bugs for almost a month and evertime we thought its over it'll come bite us in the ass again literally
i will give it a try, i remember sleeping over at a friend's house, in the middle of the night i woke up with my arm and hand completely swollen and with red welts, my friend told me it was an allergic reaction to his sister's makeup because sometimes she sleept with her makeup on. i knew something bite me and then i was right i found some red bed bugs on the sheets. he and his sister look like they are immune to the bites.
a couple weeks later i wake up with the same red welts... either him (who comes a lot to my house) or i brought them to my place... i have been getting bites almost every night i will do the shield and the traps and if it works i will do the same at my friends place to show him and help him get rid of them
@__Drakersen___Excellent. Your story is very typical of a bedbug infestation, starting from only a few contacts with someone who unwillingly got bedbugs the very same way. We all are victims and nobody should be blamed about bedbugs. We simply get them and we have to try to get rid of them so we do not pass them on to someone else. This is your intention and I appreciate it, helping a friend brings its own rewards.
We get rid of bedbugs by keeping them from being able to feed. When bedbugs cannot bite anymore, itis the end of the bedbug bites and without being able to feed, the end of bedbugs.
Start with the shield; it is an impenetrable barrier that no bedbug can get through or around. Placed between the bedbugs and yourself, it is the ultimate bedbug barrier. Get a long plastic strip, about 2 feet wide by 24 feet long that you will wrap all around the bed and temporary fix (short pieces of tape) to the side of the mattress to adjust its height about one inch above the floor. Once this plastic “skirt” will be in place, put a regular fabric contour (fitted) sheet directly on the mattress and seal its sides to the hanging plastic (white duct tape because it sticks well to both fabric and plastic, and white because it looks better than the usual grey one). In no time at all you will have a bedbug shield and this shield will stop all bedbug bites. Without being able to feed, bedbugs will die of starvation.
Then you can make the CO2 bedbug traps that will catch bedbugs that might be in the room, coming out of hiding when they will go towards the bed, hungry and wanting to feed. CO2 bedbug traps will lure those bedbugs in inescapable small glass pitfalls from which they cannot get out.
With the bedbug shield and the bedbug traps, you eliminate bedbugs both ways. Starving them to death under an impenetrable barrier and catching them and suffocating them in CO2 bedbug traps when they move.
Do it for yourself and with your good results, show it to your friend. Instead of losing a friend, you will strengthen your friendship. If there is a good side about bedbugs, this is one of them. Passing on the knowledge of how to get rid of bedbugs to the people we care for, and not from a theory we heard about but from something we did ourself and that worked for us.
With the knowledge how to fight and prevent bedbugs, you will never be bothered by bedbugs again.
With my respect
JulesNoise
How did that turn out?... I get the feeling an exterminator was paid. 😉
@@JnSavedByTheBell i would really like to see a video about your impenetrable shield. i just can't visualize it or how it works
Yes, that make sense. The optimum temperature mentionned in “A Treatise on DIY CO2 Systems” by John Levasseur is 104F although fermentation will occur at temperature ranging from 70F to 115F but with lesser efficiency. Your insight is worth mentioning since the temperature of the lukewarm water can end up withless lasting brew if not without any fermentation at all. Thank you.
Followed your instructions. They were very easy to do. So we will see what gets caught. I'll tel you know. Thanks for the instructions.
Nice presentation... Very soon will apply. God bless you.
@__Jay jay jayik__3/5__ When the beds are secure and that you can sleep on them without a bite, the next step is to put bedbug barriers on the legs of the bed and the furniture as well as on the bottom and top of the walls to keep bedbugs from being able to climb on them. Barriers should also be put around the trims of the windows and the door, around electric outlets, light switches, thermostats, heat outlets or heaters or any other place you do not want bedbugs to go onto.
Hi, this video is amazing! I am going to try it tomorrow.
Quick question about CO2 source. Instead of pouring the yeast-sugar mixture into the bottles, do you think it's effective if I substitute them with regular soda bottle (i.e. diet coke, with a small pin hole punctured on the cap)? As far as I know, soda gives off CO2 as well. This CO2 source may be short lived, but I supposed it helps by making a really small pin hole and/or replace with new soda bottles.
jimmythefung Yes you can do that!
This seems legit. Im going to try it and probably hail you as my savior. Im not even getting bit but these pesky bugs have turned my house upside down. Weve sprayed and gone threw our clothes etc. but we never know when were rid of them. This method seems like it will work and let me know when weve finally gotten rid of them. Thanks bra. At the very worst i waste 5 bucks lol
@__beastninja54__Difficult to take care of the camera, be in front of it to handle the material and comment on what the spectator will see. You are harsh for someone you is trying to give you the means to get rid of bedbugs for free.
Please watch it in spite of the annoyance, it tells how to make the CO2 that will catch all bedbugs. Use a bedbug shield too to stop all bedbug bites at once. This is not about the way I show it but about what a bedbug trap does and how to make one.
Fara, I was wondering if you could give me an update. Are you still dealing with bedbugs?
You got a new sub bro you didn’t talk you took your time to edit this video and explain everything I will try this out and I have full faith it will work!
@__Faraz H __Excellent. The first thing to happen is that all bites will stop at once. Bedbugs cannot go through or bite through fabric, so a simple contour sheet on the mattress will do just fine while staying comfortable. The sides is a simple 2x24 sheet of plastic. Bedbugs have a difficult time climbing on a vertical plastic and are totally incapable of negotiating the 180 degree turn at the edge close to the flloor, they always fall down and end up lures into the traps on the floor.
I just made the bed bug trap and followed directions to the T. Everything costs $12 from A&P not too shabby! I placed the trap by the bed leg of my left foot. I have bed leg interceptors so bed bugs can't get to me and I have mattress and box spring encasements as well. I was bitten twice on my left leg and once on my right leg on Friday. I have everything in place now so hopefully the trap can catch the one or few bed bugs By the end of this week or less!
I like this guy. Thank you, sir.
@__T Soto__Thank you for your testimonial. Actually, your story is very typical, it happens like that a lot of times. At first bedbugs are hesitant, having been disturbed by all this new activity too close to them, they react by trying to hide deeper and stay out of sight, they even skip a few occasions to get a blood meal because they feel the danger of getting squished and killed. But hunger takes over and when it feels safe (big warm blood giant is not moving), bedbugs come out of hiding for another bite. On the lookout for food, they meet the first signs of where food (blood) could be, all they have to do is follow the CO2 coming out of the giant's nostrils. But wait, this CO2 does not come from the human but from a strange brew under the bed. Bedbugs being stupid cannot tell the difference and blindly follow what usually always show them the way to nourishment. Stupid bedbugs, what attracts you comes from a glass pitfall from which you will never be able to get out. The C02 in this pitfall will asphixiate you from lack of oxygen and you will die within 10-12 hours, you will have a long agony. That is the traps that you have and that you are talking about.
There is even better. If traps are excellent to catch bedbugs from the room and on the floor, bedbugs that might be already in the bed can still get to you and bite you while you sleep. To stop and completely neutralize bedbugs already in the bed, all you need is a bedbug shield. A bedbug shield is an impenetrable barrier that bedbugs cannot get through or around it. It is made with a simple fabric contour sheet placed directly on the mattress and to which you attach and duct tape seal a plastic skirt hanging down vertically to about one inch above the floor. This impenetrable shield will stop any and all bedbugs from being able to reach you and you will be able to sleep without ever getting a bite. All bedbugs under a shield die of starvation. Those bedbugs never go dormant and keep searching for a way through the shield but find none. They quickly spend all their energy in vain, become dry and dessicated and die in hunger agony. Isn't that a fitting end for a parasite that feeds on our blood. Here is the link to The Bedbug Shield
You see, we have bedbugs only because they can feed, once we completely take away any food (our blood) from them, bedbugs have nothing else to feed on. Like any creature on this planet, a bedbug that cannot feed will die. Death to them all? Without the shadow of a doubt, the traps combined with the shield eliminate all bedbugs right down to the last one, the trap leave no bedbug behind.
Killing bedbugs like that is very satisfying, it makes me want to laugh out loud which I do at the end of my videos.
With happy feelings about the demise of your bedbugs.

Isaiah Cervantez Hello Isaiah, poor people are often the most generous, there is solidarity and help freely given amongst us. Joel is a friend, he proudly earned his name of the Poor People's Advocate. We both could have made money by selling the trap and the shield, but we didn't, it would have been a bedbug trap made for the rich only and nothing for the poor people, people like us.
Note that the the trap is made with things we have around us. Either at home or in local stores, the least expensive and the easest to get. The trap and the shield has been made by a poor man on a poor man's meager budget. It is cheap but it works. For yourself and from what you could find, you made the best bedbug trap in the world.
Amazing what poor people can do with limited means, tinkering things rich people cannot think of. That what you did, you got rid of bedbugs all by yourself. No money given to corporations, poison-pushers actually, their product is poison and they need you to be infested by bedbugs to sell it.Why don't they extermimate bedbugs once and for all, just like the Bedbug Trap does? They can't do that, they would kill their own business. What would happen to exterminators without bedbugs if people like you get rid of bedbugs yourself instead of paying the exterminator to poison you? No more jobs?
You outsmarted them by catching and eliminating bedbugs yourself, they just lost a consumer! No bedbugs, no poison treatment right? The best is yet to come, with what you know now, you will never be bothered by bedbugs again. You can even stay in a bedbug-prone environment and still remain bedbug-free, catching the very first bedbugs as soon as they come in. It is the perfect trap, always ready to stop and catch the very first bedbug after having eliminated all the others.
There is more. What you learned can be passed on to other people, helping people help themselves. Helping others who can't do it by themselves, the old and the disabled, the ailing and the unfortunate, forever grateful for what you can do for them.
Helping others brings its own rewards, Isaiah Cervantez is one of us.
JulesNoise
Thank you. Love the irony. We are doing war snenarios with these things. Have to humor somehow. We made several 2 liter ones. 4 so far. Have a few in the trap. Not dozens but some.
Megzamani I know it sounds funny to apply war tactics to fight an insect, but it is the only thing that works. The Art of War, an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu says know your enemy and use its strenghts and weaknesses against him. That's ezactly what the shields and the traps do.
Bedbugs are climbers, so keep them from being able to climb. Bedbugs are blood-suckers, so keep them from being able to feed. Knowing that they do not have any other source of food than our warm blood, simply deny that precious blood to them and it completely defeat bedbugs and they die of starvation.
This is war, the genius of man against a stupid parasite, and man wins every time as long as we take the time to set up our defenses. In war, we have borders and check points where we control who can get in or not. It is the same strategy for bedbugs. We set barriers (fences), impasses they can't get around and traps to catch the ones that try to get through.
National security might not be affected by bedbugs but we are, and I will do whatever it takes to stop them and defeat them. Since we are dealing with only an annoying insect, we will not take measures that will make us lose more than we can gain and the shields and the traps should be as little expensive as possible and avoid all the problems caused by other methods that have proved to be inefficient.
To win a war, you must deal with the enemy only once and deal them a blow they will not be able to survive. It is because I saw bedbugs as an enemy that I could design the perfect bedbug shield and traps instead of seeing bedbugs as a business opportunity. People using the trap do not have to see bedbugs as a war between species. All they really want is to get rid of bedbugs and forget about them, bedbugs are not worth all the attention and the hype we give them, the life that we want is a life without bedbugs, so I defeat them and tell others how I did it. There are now hundreds of thousands of people who made their own bedbugs traps and won, forever bedbug-free.
With respect for my own kind.

That's just beautiful Jules, many thanks.
@__Jimmythefung__The size and shape of the container has no impact on the production of CO2.
2L soda bottles placed on the floor on each side of the headboard and out of the way so they do not get knocked down. An airline tubing can be fitted in the cap to send the CO2 into small glasses placed behind each leg of the bed, or you can make your own with drinking straws.
See another video: Making a CO2 Bedbug Trap with Plastic Containers
Use a bedbug shield too. It stops all bedbug bites at once
@JnSavedByTheBell thank you very much! HEY EVERYONE! THIS BED BUG TRAP WORKS VERY WELL BUT REMEMBER THAT IF YOU KEEP IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM AND THERE HIDING NO WERE CLOSE TO YOUR CO2 BED BUG TRAP ITS LIKELY YOU WONT CATCH ANY TO PUT IT CLOSE TO WERE YOU SLEEP OR WHAT PLACES YOU USUALY STAY FOR LONG PEROID OF TIME IT WORKS PRETTY WELL I CATCHED THE SMALLER BABY BED BUGS THAT WERE BITING ME WHEN I WAS SLEEPING
This is exactly the info I was looking for. But I do have 1 question. Are there any suggestions for bedbugs in the couch. The shield worked for my bed but anyone that sits on my couches (with built in recliners) gets bitten, anytime of day. I never get bitten but I'm more cautious after I realized it was bedbugs. RAID was used multiple times to no avail due to the many hiding places. Any reply would be appreciated.
@__EkzoX0
Thank you for your good results, the shield along with the CO2 bedbug trap is the best method to stop and eliminate bedbugs.
It is the same method that is used on couches, a shield to stop any bedbug bites and traps on the floor to catch them. You will have the same results as on a bed. I have another video showing how to cover a couch but there is even better than that. I suggest that you make or get the help of a seamstress to make a fabric cover that will fit over the couch, making allowance for the movements of the recliner. Fabric is more sturdy and flexible than plastic as well as more comfortable and less slippery. The only consideration is to choose a knitting that is tight enough so that the tiniest (1 mm long or a grain of rice) bedbug will not be able to get through. Anything similar to a bed sheet will do.
Pick something that will look good with better color or motif coordination than what I have. In my video I placed some sheets I had to put over the plastic so that sitting on the plastic covered couch is not too sweaty. But my sewing skills are not the best.
Now here is the trick to make a bedbug shield that will fit nicely over any shape of couch, armchair, cot, crib or anything used for resting, m ake or get that fabric cover (there are lots of talented seamstress that can do it in no time at all. The fabric cover must have its sides hanging down vertically, to about three inches above the floor. Then fix a strip of plastic to the edge of those fabric hanging sides (about one inch above the floor), that will keep bedbugs from being to walk down on the inner side and make the 180° turn at the edge of the plastic Bedbugs simply cannot negotiate that turn, they always lose their grip when they try and fall down to the floor. And guess what, that's where we put the traps.
CO2 bedbug traps for a couch are a bit different than for a bed. Instead of putting the whole trap under the couch as we do for a bed, we only place the glass behind or under the plastic and we can put the CO2 generator safely out of the way, behind the couch using tubing to get the CO2 into the small glasses. Those glasses can simply be 1 oz shot glasses covered with cloth or paper towels.
There you go, you have the perfect body heat and CO2 bedbug trap that will not only protect you from bedbugs in the couch but will also draw in any bedbugs that might be anywhere else in the room. It is very discrete and hardly noticeable while remaining comfortable and affordable. it will get rid of any bedbug in that room without taking any other precaution than making sure the couch does not touch the wall or the furniture. Usually a space of 1/2 inch is enough since bedbugs cannot jump and cannot fly. (Someone told me he had bedbugs with wings and I answered it was a carpet beetle. They kind of look alike to the untrained eye).
I would like to add another trick to keep bedbugs from being able to climb up in and onto the furniture as well as on the walls. A simple strip of scotch tape around the legs or the base of the furniture will keep bedbugs from being able to climb up if you brush the scotch tape with talcum powder. Scotch tape is already smooth and slippery so bedbugs have a hard time getting on it, but talcum powder makes it impossible tp get a grip on it. Bedbugs slip and slide and fall down to the floor. Again that is where you judiciously place bedbug traps. Co2 bedbug traps do an excellent job on bedbugs on the floor.
Another long answer, it seems to be my speciality but hey, I want to give all the details and it will also be seen by others. Your question and this answer will thus help others.
Thank you for your patience, I'm JulesNoise and I catch and eliminate bedbugs. Soon you will also be bedbug free with the satisfaction that you did it all by yourself.
Bedbugs that cannot bite cannot molt and grow, bedbugs that cannot have blood cannot lay eggs and bedbugs that cannot feed simply die of starvation.
your trap works great but the simplest trap is to go to Walmart and buy the large pet feeder bowls they are sloped with no lip. 99 cents apiece in the same section they have little metal bowls I bought 4 of each then buy 4 insulated travel cups cost 2 each At the front of Walmart they sell dry ice which is co2 frozen . get a bag for 2 dollars take home break up put in each cup I taped the out side of the dog bowels with masking tap its plastic. I set out 4 bowls with the metal bowls on the inside with the dry ice cups turn upside down in them. You have to get die. earth to powder the bowls I bought a rose plant powder to do it they get slipper feet and cant climb out and it kills them. Were dust mask with powder. I have not been in my living room in 3 months each trap had at lest 50 in it. Put bowls under beg legs with powder in it to keep off you. NEVER put a bag of dry ice in freezer It killed mine have to buy a new one now. Orkan wants 4 thousand dollars to bag my house and gas it lol cant afford that
ortanga g Yes, CO2 attract bedbugs, and bedbugs cannot get out of a slippery pitfall. This describes both of our traps and both traps work great.
Dry ice is the solid form of CO2 at minus 78°F. Dry ice sublimates in 8-10 hours, so a dry ice bedbug trap lasts 8-10 hours,. Once the dry ice is gone, you must replace the dry ice for the trap to work again. That is the reason I replaced the dry ice with the fermentation of sugar and yeast that will last 2-3 weeks to produce CO2 .
A dog bowl will make a pitfall that bedbugs cannot get out of if the inner sides are slippery enough. We get better results using a small glass placed behind each leg of the bed and get the dog bowls and dry ice thermos out of the way, bedbug traps should not be obstacle courses for the people living there.
The concentrated CO2 inside a pitfall suffocates bedbugs within hours, and DE has no effect on dead bedbugs. Baby powder is more slippery than DE and much easier to get for a fraction of the price.
Bedbug traps attract and catch bedbugs that can be anywhere in the room but cannot do anything for bedbugs which are already in the bed. Bedbugs simply do not go back down to the floor because we place CO2 traps there. To stop and eliminate bedbugs in a bed, you need a bedbug shield or you must kill bedbugs with dry ice.
Confused, dry ice does not make long-lasting bedbug traps but we can use it to kill bedbugs? Absolutely. Dry ice is heavier than air and it will replace the oxygen inside a plastic bag. The concentrated CO2 inside the plastic bag will asphixiate bedbugs and kill them within a few hours. Wrap the whole bed with a large sheet of plastic and put a few pounds of dry ibe in it, and all and any bedbugs and eggs will be dead the next day. The bed will be cleared of bedbugs. Dry ice inside a plastic bag is a bedbug killer. and you do not have to wait to see the results, it is like a bedbug gun, all bedbugs in the bed are dead and that is where 95% of bedbugs are.
A bedbug shield does exactly the same thing but slower. It keeps bedbugs from being able to feed and all bedbug bites stop at once, no more bites means no more bedbugs because bedbugs that cannot feed simply die of starvation. That's the secret of bedbugs, we have bedbugs only because we feed them. Stop feeding bedbugs and you will be rid of them. And how do we stop bedbugs? With a bedbug shield on the bed. A bedbug shield stops and eliminate any bedbug infestation and it works every time and all the time.

Orkin wants 4000$? Bedbugs are very lucrative, bedbugs are their cash-cows. Make your own bedbug shield and traps for less than 20$ with better results than Orkin using their repellent that bedbugs become resistant to and we get more bedbugs. Exterminators always fail and will never eradicate the bedbug.
You are interested to make the best bedbug trap ever? Talk to me and I will give you all the information and know-how to do it. I've been doing this for years and I have traps all over the world. Hundreds of thousands of people now bedbug-free and millions of dead bedbugs. The best way to prove it is to get you to make your own and see it with your own eyes.
I fought bedbugs and I won, and now I'm only sharing the knowledge so that other people can also be free of bedbugs. This goes from people to people andwill never becomes an industry. It is only an insect and I'll be damned if an insect plays with my mind and makes me spend my hard-earned money to get poisoned.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
JulesNoise
I so appreciate you video. I found bedbugs just recently and am working hard to eliminate them. I am going to try your method and would like to know how often I will need to replinish the traps for them to be effective.
Bed Bugs are like Mosquitoes, Ticks etc, feeding on human or animal blood. They are a perfect species, can exist for 1 year without eating, have hundreds of babies, small in size and capable of hiding in the tiniest cracks, come out only at night to feed, inject a numbing substance into you before feeding so you don't feel them when sucking your blood...The perfect species.
Just got the bed leg interceptors and encasements this past weekend and made the trap tonight. It's 2 in the morning so I'm a little on edge sleeping but I can hear the light fizzing sound coming from the bed bug trap on the floor . Hopefully this will work since I don't want to call an exterminator just to rid a few bugs. Bed is also away from my wall.
Day 2 and it's already working. I used canola oil instead of plastic and powder because it is really slippery and easy to coat the trap with.
Thanks, I will sleep back in the room after I setup the bed shield!
I have a question. Can I put the traps away from the bed like in closets or by electrical outlets? It may not be as effective without a warm body nearby but would it work nonetheless?
@__Love will prevail__Yes, dormant unfed bedbugs last 70-90 daysin a warm room. Active (non-dormant) begbugs last 2-3 weeks without feeding, their normal feeding cycle is about one week and in a used bed they cannot go dormant, remaining active because of your body heat. they try to feed but cannot stuck under the shield. It is the Tantalus torment, using all their energy without being able to reach their food.
How long does this trap stay fresh before it needs to be replaced with a replacement trap?
Can you please tell me how much yeast and sugar I need for 2 liter lukwarm water? One receipe says 8 grams yeast and the other recipe says 1/4 tsp yeast.
Thanks.
Do you have any suggestions if your bed has to touch the wall. My bed is built into a small room, meaning almost all the edges touch the wall. :(
@__Ginu George__Lukewarm water is needed only to start the fermentation and then the mixture works at room temperature (even air-conditioned) for 2-3 weeks. At first the mixture will be cloudy with a little top of tiny bubbles. It will slow down over time but still produce enough CO2 to attract bedbugs into the small glass pitfalls that the CO2 is sent in. When the mixture becomes clear like lemonade, the fermentation is spent and time to do a re-mix.
The Co2 from the bottles can last up to three weeks or more. The best way is to make four bottles, one under each corner of the bed and change the mix one at a time as they turn flat, always having three still running while you do it. It is not expensive and give you full protection against bedbugs. Do not forget to cover the bed with a sheet of plastic to stop all the bites at once and for all while the bottles catch and kill the bedbugs. Go to the link in the description box under the video.
Hello, I live in a small flat in an apartment and noticed about 8 bed bugs on my sofabed lining (new sofabed). I'm thinking of trying this method my only concern was do you or anyone reading this think that it could attract bed bugs from other flats down the hall or above/below me if their are any? This is a great tutorial by the way, thank you!!!
The only good bedbug is a deadbug!
@__Dtadeo2006__I agree. That is the reason we need bedbugs traps for free so we can eliminate bedbugs. On the other hand, some people calling themselves "professionals" claim we will never get rid of the bedbug, it is very profitable. Without the ever increasing number of bedbugs, they would be on welfare. It is a booming business that brought in $100 million 2006, $258 million in 2010 and $550 million last year to 7,000 pest control companies. Industry officials expect 2014 revenues to be even bigger. Think about it, more than half a billion dollars to get poisoned when you can eliminate bedbugs yourself.
The only good bedbug is the one that survives pesticides and brings in more money. They hate me because you can get the bedbug trap for free.
Well I certainly don't hate you dude. I appreciate your dedication. My story is I helped my friend-client to cat-sit for 3 weeks and got some bedbugs for free.
bed bugs are people too.
@@d.unknown3388 😂😂
The bumps are still on my hip and left arm and matches my shin color. They are almost like a bigger goose bump but not red or itchy. I also removed the plastic covering the bottles of the trap and closely examined the bottom of the trap with a flashlight and magnifying glass. I noticed 3 light badged specs closely together against the white baby powder. Not sure if those are hatchling nymphs or just lint or dust. They are at the bottom of the trap on the side closest to my head. Almost parallel
So you put holes in the. Caps...amazing
How long does this concoction last? How long will it continue to attract bed bugs?
These comments are a great help for others who consult them.
There are people that read them and have succesfully made traps on their own. I know this from comments I receive on the website.
There are now bedbug traps in 37 countries around the world.
I'm so proud of that
Thank you
JnSavedByTheBell
seems to be a great design.
Love your video and am hoping to end this nightmare. I am not sure how to make the basket. I've tried other traps with gluing and I'm not good with glue, so it doesn't seem to work so well for me; I want to try yours using plastic and basket. How do you make the basket? How thick for the plastic? Thanks.
I like your trap the best. Thanks for the video.
@Buggedout619 _2/3_ no shells or feces mean that there is still relatively few or maybe you didn’t see them in the obvious places. Finding one on the headboard shows that some might be hiding a second nest behind it. Remove it slowly with 2” clear tape in hand to catch the ones that will try to run away. Get someone to help you to do that. Wrap the whole headboard with saran wrap until we can clean it.
I tried the 1 bottle way and could never get the mixture right and the bottle just clogged up. Thank you for your video, I will be trying it tonight.
Results?
great vid. very informative. read most of the comments but failed to find out where to put them. do you need one in every room?
JnSavedByTheBell, where do you get the "basket" to hold the bed bugs? Also, what is covering the basket? I love your video and all the effort you made to create this video.
It really works too! I caught 2 young ones the first day I put it out while an expensive trap I bought ($50) with chemical lure did nothing!
Even in 2018, this is a lifesaver
It’s like an asmr video with the Omegle thumbs up lmfao.
Hey Jn, Thank You sooo much for posting these videos! I have created a bed shield and placed 2, 2L CO2 traps in my bedroom, one next to the closet, one next to the bed. However, I am wondering would the CO2 traps be harmful to a person who has asthma?
@_Glassman204_Those dead bedbug are a sample from my RIP collection. The number of bedbug varies from one case to the other. A correspondent from Switzerland caught 184 bedbugs the first night while another correspondent from Phoenix caught only a total of 24 bedbugs during her whole infestation. Both of them are now bedbug free.
But the first thing to do is to make a bedbug shield (see the Bedbug Shield video) to stop all bedbug bites at once and stop the infestation and starve bedbugs to death
What if i sleep on the floor? Can i still set up traps around my futon? Also i have children they haven't been bit just me and my wife so im assuming its a minor problem now not infestation i havent had any problem for three years and i get hit with this i dont want to bomb pr spray pesticides because of my children and pets im in the process of wrapping all my things in plastic ive already incased my futon in a vinyl full bed cover should i wrapped that in plastic as well? Im also going to dry all my clothes in high heat if this works im going to come back and give you my upmost thanks there are a few good do it yourself videos but a bunch of exterminator s giving there two cents with no results like you will keep you posted really appreciate this
@@exquisite8967 it worksonly if you make sure bed bugs can't climb onto your futon, meaning nothing touching the floor. Other wise, it won't work because you are the bigger warm and co2 releasing body that provides blood
Well i watched another video and there wasa lot of talk! A lot! But it was very confusing. Your video is great! You did not talk at all but i was able to get every single step. Thanks for sharing ! I do not have bedbugs but my neighbor does so i want to check if i have them cuz i havent seen any. But i heard they can go unnoticed till you actually have thousands of them
@__Sil Diaz__Thank you, as you say, this is not a video about what we can say about bedbugs, but what we can do about bedbugs. I appreciate that you mention it.
There are precautions we can take when we suspect that bedbugs are a possibility. First and as you say, you want to check if you have them. Well we can detect bedbugs from the traces they leave behind (fecal dark spots, shells, red blood spots...). Bites of course and seeing a live bedbug, a specimen. At the beginning of an infestation, the very first bedbugs will in the bed, close to their source of food and usually in the corners and in the seams of the mattress. A visual inspection can find them. You can also use CO2 to attract them and catch them in small glass pitfalls, and that is how bedbug traps work.
But there is better than that and it is a bedbug shield. Protecting yourself against bedbugs with a barrier bedbugs can't get through or around. It is prevention. With a bedbug shield on your bed, even if your neighbor has bedbugs and some of them migrate to your place, they will not be able to get to you and you will never have a single bedbug bite.
You see, we have bedbugs only because they can feed of your blood. Without our blood, bedbugs are totally helpless. Bedbugs absolutely need blood to molt and grow. Bedbugs also absolutely need blood to lay eggs and multiply. And bedbugs absolutely need blood to simply survive. Without our blood to feed on, bedbugs plain and simply die of starvation.
That's what the bedbug shield does. It traps bedbugs under an impenetrable barrier that they can't get out of and keeps them from being able to reach you and bite you while you sleep at night.
It is easy to do. Anybody can make a bedbug shield and a bedbug shield stops the very first bedbugs. No matter if you still do not have bedbugs or you already got a few, the bedbug shield will prevent bedbugs from growing and multiplying, as well as it will starve to death the few bedbugs you might already have. With a shield, it does not matter if the neighbor has bedbugs or not. If bedbugs get from his place to yours (no blame given) those bedbugs will be stopped by your shield before they can get a bite, in fact, they never will. They will be stuck under the shield without being able to get out and reach you while you sleep soundly in your bed without a single bite.
That's better than waiting to see if you have bedbugs and maybe discover that you do without any means to defend yourself. The bedbug nightmare? Ask your neighbor what it is to live with bedbugs. If you do not like it, prepare yourself to block them and avoid the bedbug nightmare and ultimately the poison pusher.
A bedbug shield is made with a long plastic strip about 2 feet wide by 25 feet long, attached to the sides of the mattress and hanging down almost to the floor like a skirt all around the bed. Once the plastic skirt is in place, put a regular fabric contour sheet directly over the mattress and seal it (white duct tape) to the high part of the plastic skirt.
You can see an example of the bedbug shield at: The Bedbug Shield
Bedbugs will not be able to get through the fabric sheet and will not be able to get around it either with the plastic hanging down. Bedbugs will be stuck under the shield unable to reach you on top.
Do it for yourself, it will cost only a few dollars and it will give you permanent bedbug protection. Later on, if you are willing, show your neighbor what you did and give him the link to more bedbug information at: julesnoise.com/
you failed to realize that bedbugs can crawl up walls and on the ceiling, and drop down on you.
They can harbor in your ceiling light fixture as well. And in your TV set, Stereo, Alarm clock, anywhere.
While the bedbug shield helps, it is not a cure-all.
Only 100% way to 100% guarantee you are bed bug free is a gallon of kerosene and a match lol
If you miss so much as ONE, you will have to start the extermination process all over again.
You must treat ALL bedrooms not just the one you are in. Including living room furniture too.
I took everything to the laundrymat. Washes as instructed dried too for 30+ minutes.
Sprayed folding table with 91% alcohol. Folded things and as I put them in clear plastic bags, I sprayed liberally into the bag as well and sealed it.
Most things were for winter time anyway. So I put those bags in the attic crawlspace where it gets HOT daily in the summertime. With all that all bedbugs in those items should be dead.
Made a diatom earthen dam around the bed, along all baseboards, and across every doorway (closets too)
I spray the alcohol nightly on the bed and box springs (have those covered with bed bug covers), around the bed, the entire carpeted floor, and across all doorways.
I even too drawers out initially and dumped in lots of diatom powder then replaces the drawers.
Unfortunately I cannot treat the TV set (electrocution/fire hazard).
Make sure you alcohol spray your shoes too!
ALL OUT WAR ON THEM! lol
Takes 37 days to go from egg to egg laying adult with 5 moltings and feeding each time.
Haven't tried traps yet. But with my method, I haven't seen any in a couple weeks or so.
@__Faraz H __3/4__The ruffling sound of the plastic is the reason why I suggest to use a regular contour sheet on top of the mattress with plastic sides taped/attached to it. It does axactly the same thing as a single plastic sheet draped over the bed but is more comfortable. To ease up the ruffling and make the plastic less sweaty, you could put a thick blanket or comforter on top of the plastic and under the bed sheet you are using to sleep on.
I got a couple of really small bites last night when I was sleeping. I have to tape above the baseboard They might be coming off the ceiling, those bastards and I need to set the traps. It's been so hard to find the time this weekend due to the holidays. But thank you again for all your help guidance...much appreciated!
this is brillian, very cheap to make and I was about to call an exsterminator that charge three thousand dallars. Thank you so much for this video!

• Bedbugs are attracted to body heat, the only way to stop them is to but an impenetrable barrier between you and them, the bedbug shield.
• Bedbugs are attracted to the CO2 from breathing, the way to lure them into small glass pitfalls overflowing with CO2 from a generator, the bedbug trap.
• Bedbugs are impossible to find when they are hiding but become vulnerable when they come out; bedbug barriers make them fall down and keep them from being able to go back.
