I am retired now but worked for Public Health. We has a top researcher from the U of Minnesota talk to our staff about bed bugs. You can Goggle them and find a lot of info. With what you do, you should definitely read about them. You can wash quilts etc. but that doesn’t kill them. It’s the heat in the dryer that does. If I came across in, the item or items would directly into the garbage. When I get home, I’d take my clothes off in my garage and toss them or put them directly in the washer. Then I’d head for the shower. Them eggs are very sticky and they stick to your clothes and you can’t even see them. It can cost thousands to get them out of your house. We had staff who had to throw away sofas, mattresses, etc. Be careful kiddo. Even when it comes in the mail. You shouldn’t wear black or sit on the floor. Please read about them. Once you have them it’s to late. Very very difficult to get rid of. Exterminator try but they really can’t get rid of them either. The chemical used to get rid of them was outlawed years ago.
I’m so nosy, I’d probably be there forever reading the papers that the police want lol
Me too! 😊
@@barbarasd1196 I know I would! 😎
same lol
me too 🤣🤣id also never get done because i'd be going through every single photo album
Agreed!
Melissa check with your local Animal shelters and wild life Rehabilitatiors and give them the blankets and old towels. You would be surprised at all the things they could use. ...I love love love your videos!
Also most cities have recycling/repurpose places that will take fabric/clothes in any condition because they just chop it up and turn it into rags for trades people. It's usually what happens to unsold thrift stuff actually.
But ya usually animal shelters are in need of linens (towels, flat sheets and blankets are the main things) but any clothes that cant be salvaged can also be donated to be turned into rags.
Former hotel housekeeper here. Bedbugs could just as easily be under the flap of the cardboard box or in a sneaker.Cannot be careful enough.
Melissa any type on material or cloth items will have bedbugs in it if they are present...it is not only a bedding problem but a whole house problem.,they will live behind your door framing and baseboards ..when the exterminate for them the tent the whole house and bring it to an unbelievable high heat to kill the bugs off.....also any box you buy off Poshmark could carry them
I was just getting ready to say the same thing it doesn't matter if it's close or blankets or anything else they're going to be in whatever it is so it makes no sense not to take those blankets home and wash them they look nice
Yes you are so right. When I was 19 I rented my first place and it had bedbugs when I moved in. I had no idea about bedbugs at first. I had bites covering my whole body but had no idea what was doing it. I ended up finding one and figuring out what it was. We ended up moving asap and getting rid of almost everything we owned. I was devastated and also traumatized by that. Now when I buy anything I'm super careful about it. I would never want to deal with that again.
I was just going to say the same
I think alot of us had the same idea. Buying these storage units you just never know. As she was saying that she doesn't mess with bedding those angel wings can harbor bedbugs just as easily with anything in that unit. I never had bedbugs thank heavens but from I understand they are hard to get rid of. Not sure how anyone gets rid of them. Just remember bedbugs do not care where they live. They can be in all those clothes
Yes bedbugs can even be in furniture you buy so it's a gamble with anything used
Lol love this woman. "Ooohhh! I'm going to have to blur that out." *proceeds to forget during editing process. Unexpecting audience gets an eye full* Haha no worries here, thought it was more funny than anything. Just hope you don't accidentally get demonitized.
We didn’t really see anything, so I think not!
One thing you could do is take all the stuff to a laundromat and wash it before you even think about taking it into your house. There are chemicals you can get and use that will help. Plus, the laundromat will have bigger sized washers if you do ever want to wash any of the bedding. Yes, you will be spending some money, but better to be safe. ☺️
I totally understand your fear of bringing bedbugs home, so keep in mind that the clothing is just as likely to harbor them as the blankets.
Wash the smaller blankets and donate them to a local dog shelter. My local shelter loves them and old towels.
I really enjoy your storage unit videos, as well as the rest of your videos!! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting locker Melissa, enjoyed you going through it in your own inimitable way. 🤗💜
❤❤❤❤love you Melissa from Texas. Big hug holding you from me on your loss. Memories of Poco forever yours
Melissa, you have so much energy!! I know it's exciting to get into different things. I hope you find out what happened with that person and whats going on. Take care!! Hugs to Paco!! ❤️❤️
I am so jealous!! It would be my dream to work with the police on an investigation. This unit was amazing and not bad for only $10. I can't wait to hear an update on this guy.
Fun to watch you go through! It looks like everything was gone through already.
Not just the comforter can have bedbugs, the clothes to! Just wash affected bedding and clothing on a hot wash (60C) and tumble dry on a hot setting for at least 30 minutes.
put affected clothing and bedding in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for 3 or 4 days.
My advice is- just run!!
I love seeing you do these videos
Girl! Just as long ad you don't get one too big you're all good
Hey Mellisa! Lol, I know that Gucci belt is probably a fake, but that belt is selling for $350.00. Would be nice if it was real 🤨 I wouldn't even bring the clothes into my house until they're washed,maybe at the laundry mat.
Wow that storage unit was sure a lot of work. I don't know how you work a full time job n do all you do on CZcams. You have so much energy. I wish I could have you come over n help me go thru my garage n get it organized lol. You're definitely a busy bee Melissa!
Nice locker, interesting lol , profitable and quick clear out too. Well done 👏👏👍🏻👍🏻❣
Girl, you are efficient. God bless you! 💛
I have been watching you for a while, great channel . Thank you
WHAT A FUN & INTERESTING VIDEO!! YOU MADE OUT WELL 🥰
My first thought when you started unloading the second box was that the second box looked like it belonged to a different person from the first box. Now it makes sense. That was a lotta, lotta work. I hope you relax and treat yourself after your big projects.
Yay made my night seeing you were on. Love the angel ornaments. Can’t wait to see why the police are coming xx
Woohoo! Hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!
Thanks Melissa great video 🐾💜🌻✌🏻
Hi Melissa i recently started watching your channel now im watching all of them love them so much.❤
I wish I lived closer to you, melissa. I loved that green throw with flowers on it. I would absolutely love to have that.
💜That was awesome! I have a tiny Rosary that was my Great Grandmother's, her brother gave it to her. He got it when he was in the service. There's a little round pice that says Italy on the Rosary.💜
Take Care!💜💐💜😊💜
The blankets would be great to wash and donate. Shelters, human and animal, are always in need of them.
AHHH, Melissa....If you are worried about bed bugs...stop flinging the blankets and clothes all over you!!! You are giving me the hebie jibies!! LOL
Melissa I love watching your channel !
Hi Melissa...those angels and that little glass candle holder look vintage. I'm still going bonkers on temu now that they fixed everything lol. ( it literally took 3wks then I contacted you thanks so much again! You did score on this unit!
Wow these boxes have been,fabulous Melissa, I get you with the Styrofoam, HATE HATE HATE the stuff !!!! Xxx
Love it. It's about the adrenaline of hoping to find a jem... And making money.. back in the day you drug that stuff home washed it , and went through it.. nobody worried about bed bugs.. but times have changed.. 👍👍👍👍
Melissa its great to see you adventure into something new....please be careful in storage units maybe wear a mask because a lot of drugs are laced with scary stuff now a days and you just never know what you are breathing in, just looking out for you my love!!!
Great point.
Great Unit and you already made your money the rest is pure profit. Way to go Melissa 💗💗💗⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was convinced you were about to find someone's drug stash!
Take the blankets to the laundromat, and wash them in hot water in the big washer. Dry them and see what you think. Or donate them to a charity shop.
Now, that is an adventure
Bed hugs are not just on blankets and yes please please please donate things the best places to donate is a community/resource center. Also dog shelter/rescues can always use blankets and towels
Wow! This is a lot of stuff for a $10 abandoned storage unit. 🌱📦
Interesting with the photos and paperwork! Hopefully they'll tell you what happened! Nice job!! 💜💜
That was interesting!!
Wow that’s crazy!
I was trying to find something to watch and as soon as I clicked on CZcams your video popped up yayyyyy! I was hoping you would post a video today!
Here I am! Hope you enjoy the video.
These are fun!! They say start small and work your way up. You did great for a $10.00 unit! I was thinking also it might be time to rent a small storage unit. Not tiny but maybe along the size of what you just cleaned out. Might help you keep your sanity also without the stuff in your house. I hate to see you pass up good stuff due to the lack of space. Shop around and find what is best for you for size and the wallet! Have to still make money!! Love your adventures!!
Nice of you to save their family photos.
Be sure to check the pockets on all of that stuff make sure there's no money in them before you donate them
These videos are great fun❤
Hi Melissa. What a unit. I didn't know you were going to buy a unit again. But you have to tell us what happened to the papers you sent to the police. Maybe we can understand what happened to them. I don't look at my photos either. But WOW! What a great score. God Bless you Melissa. Stay safe. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Maria, Melissa did explain what was going on with the paperwork . If you had watched the video until the end you would have heard what happened. If you go to 41:22, you can hear what happened. Videos like this always spark my interest. That’s how I found out. I hope this helps. 🙂
Melissa, your BRAVERY is INSPIRING!❤️ 👏👏😃. The thought of cleaning out my OWN storage unit gave me a headache🤦🏻♀️😫....but buying a STRANGERS??!!.....there’s NO telling WHAT you might come across!😬😳😂🤣😭. Fingers crossed🤞🙏💕
Epic video. I really hope you get another storage unit cause I wanna know so bad what happened. That Milwaukee Battery may be worth money too. I know some are expensive but am not to familiar.
This was a pretty good one. That photo with the Regan's was pretty cool lol...Oh wow, you just never know what's going to happen when buying an abandoned storage locker lol...you'll have to keep us updated if they should tell you lol 😁😁😊❤
Yes you totally never know. I was shocked at that photo.
Oh that’s beautiful 🙏🏼💜
Good job!!! 👍
A lot of business that still use a cash register usually use a bill counter to manage the money in the tills. I used to have to do it for a pet shop manually it was annoying to recount when you lose your place count.
🤩🌻🌻🐥🐥#TeamCheapChick #Roadtol00k good find
These $10 storage units be having hidden treasures a lot of the times! My very first $10 storage unit I got (which I forgot to record) had a WiiU plus the controllers. I think you did good with this one. Although it did have a lot of stained clothes 😬 Washing all that can get tiring.
That hat with the Fs all over it is a fendi hat. If it real it could be worth over $400 in stores :)
Tip....next time bring a lantern or flashlight. Then you won't be without a light😉
👋🏼 hi Melissa, oh my your surprise when finding the photo that was naughty , just love how you handled the situation bet the cops got a eye full too lol 😂 oh my ,,, thankyou so much for being you you make me smile so much , have a wonderful day 💞
I can't wait to see a video of you shopping at a thrift store or at the flea market
Oh thats cute head of security 🐾💜🐾😊 for Paco
Omg wow
Hi Melissa what a random unit. Stated of with the bill counter thinking criminals because the police wanted the paperwork, then all the religious items like the angels, rosary and bible lol so random
I love the angel!!
It is really nice.
Oh that startled me when the light went out oui
When she called an Auburn shoe ‘Alabama University’. I died a little 😂Roll Tide!
Same here!!! ROLL TIDE❣️
right lol. Have to say GO VOLS!
fun!
Trying to get a mystery box from Posh but they sell out so fast, I enjoy all ur videos , God bless you and ur adorable parents and Paco😊🙏
The Auburn University shoes are definitely worth something!!!!! War Eagle! 🧡💙🧡💙
Hi Melissa, nice haul for ten bucks! I had to deal with the bed bug issue a few years ago due to a neighbor letting homeless people crash at his place upstairs with all their stuff. Anyway, take anything you plan to keep or sell or donate to the laundromat and wash them then set dryer on highest heat and dry for a full hour to kill them.
Great video
Melissa I am a former Property manager (apartments) unfortunately I have had some run in with bed bugs with my poor tenants. I hate to tell you that those horrible bugs get into every thing. They may start out in a bed or clothing ( They are wonderful hitch hikers) but also in furniture, including wood, appliances nothing is safe from those evil booger’s! They like to live around their food source and hide in what ever is near like clothing , mattress, bedding , paper items. They can live for a long time without food, warmth. They are hard to get rid of too. Ewww I feel itchy just talking about it. Sorry to tell you if those blankets had a bed bug so would everything else in storage with them and possibly the neighbors lockers too. love your vids❤
Bed bugs can live up to 2 years without feeding and just laying hibernation form, and they can also live in things like picture frames.
I would always bring plastic bags with me garbage bags and take things that you want to keep straight to the laundromat before ever bringing it into your home.
Cee Pat, after reading the comments, my mind starts to think about things. Regards to bed bugs, I just had a funny thought as to why would God create a useless tiny little bug that harms everything you mentioned above. And the harm it causes people. Especially little people and babies. I know, my mind comes up with crazy thoughts. Have a great day.
@@donnaheater9090 well he created humans and we have destroyed His planet.
Wow very interesting video.
Hi
If there's bedbugs on the comforter there's sure to be some on any of the material objects in the storage unit.
"To be continued " lol. Pls keep us updated.
Yes I think so it’s for tea
Man you scored! We haven't been as lucky here. We did get some good ones in Montana, but that was like a 7 hour drive for us. Might do that again, but a little closer to us on MT.
Oh my and and an expensive sneaker oui
Clothing with stains can be donated to places that take textiles. It’s used to make things like moving blankets and such
Omg, that red flower pvc placemat ... I also have just one. They were Walmart Xmas decor lmao
Melissa!!!😂😂😂 I died laughing when you flipped that NSFW picture over and you realized what it was!! I was cackling!!!😂😂
Melissa be careful with the Reebok snickers specifically if they look. vintage..they worth 💰 money....good luck with ur finds1👍
That brown baseball cap is Fendi. IF that is authentic it is worth hundreds of dollars. I want that Ice cube t-shirt. 😋 Good haul Melissa!
Hi, love your videos. The hat is Fendi, if real worth selling on poshmark. You should have the Gucci and Fendi pieces authenticated. There are sites on line that will do it for a minimal fee. Good luck selling.
Some of those stains could’ve gotten there after things were put into storage. Rodents can sometimes climb through those boxes and leave their evidence behind. Not to gross you out, but some of that could be washable.
Omg I'd be running not me jack I wouldn't be touching not of that junk! Hello Lysol
Hi 👋 I think the Styrofoam thing is from the trunk of a car it sets in the trunk floor to put spare jack etcetera in then has a lid on top.😊
Well you have my interest with the cops involved!!
Haha! It was crazy when I heard the whole story.
Man! I was waiting for the police to actually show up. Now THAT would have been exciting. 🤪
The vase reads goodbye from the garden
Hi Melissa, you forgot to blur that risqué picture 🤭Wouldn't want you to get into any trouble. I don't comment much, but while I am here, I love your Temu Mondays, takes away the blues from the end of the weekend🧡
Cut the tassels off, keep the pillow. The leather wallet is still good.
U need to watch Rob on 2nd cents auction, he makes great money on a lot of type things u ditch. That replacement head rest, sell USED for abt $50.00
That's a good idea!
You're a super sleuth!! 🔍😆 Love your storage unit videos 😊
FUN VIDEO
As someone who has had to deal with the nightmare of bedbugs in the past. . .I do NOT blame anyone for being overly cautious with bedding like that!
TESTIFY!! We had them twice, once when we let my ex husbands sketchy cousin stay with us for a while and once when a neighbor's apartment was fumigated after they moved out and they migrated to us! It was years ago and I still get pissed when I think about all the time, money and effort it took to get rid of them!
Buy a box of contractor bags. They are heavy duty and hold a lot.
OMG those shoes are Auburn University! War Eagle! That’s my team. It is a school in Alabama so you were close lol but they are our rivals. It’s a big thing here. Cool shoes 😎
