MGKCrossfire® Bed Bug Concentrate | Kills Pyrethroid-Resistant Bed Bug Strains | 13 oz | Non-Staining

This is going to be a long, thorough review about my experience. The effectiveness of the product is in the last part: I work at a hospital and must have brought home a bed bug or egg somehow...either way I was horrified to find these little demon creatures in my daughter’s room. Let me start by saying that removing a bed bug infestation is A LOT of hard work! You can’t be lazy and only do half a job and expect a product to do the magic by itself. That’s the reason it’s hard to trust reviews on products like this. If someone is using it wrong or not taking the correct steps then they will come back. The exterminator couldn’t come for 3 days, but I couldn’t wait around for 3 days while these demon vampires were crawling about. I started off by removing the mattress completely and throwing it out, I needed to get a new one anyway. I then went to Walmart and wasted hundreds of dollars buying crappy cans of spray and just going crazy by spraying everywhere. That was a bad idea. Although it was effective in killing the ones I sprayed directly, it had no effect on the hiding ones and these little suckers hide well. diatomaceous earth food grade was the most effective product I got from the store. With DE slow and steady wins the race. It doesn’t kill on contact, but it’s more effective because any bug that walks through it will die in a day or so. The powder just sits there and does the work. I put it inside the walls and around the house. I had to launder all linens and clothes and stored in bus tubs. I also checked every single item and wiped it down with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Don’t assume a bug or egg wouldn’t be in certain areas because they get everywhere! I almost missed eggs in the crevices of the cords on my lamps and devices. If there was a chance I couldn’t see something,especially low dollar items, I threw it out! I want to add that they are practically invisible when they’re eggs and nymphs so you definitely need a flashlight and magnifying glass when inspecting items. Inspect thoroughly!!!! I discovered my phone camera worked well in magnifying as well. Ok back to the product...the exterminator came and treated the house, I thought everything was fine and dandy, they came for the 2 week follow up and sprayed(in only 1 room!!!) Bam they were back. Eggs had hatched apparently because there were a bunch of nymphs. This is where cross fire comes in... I discovered it on you tube. The professionals use this stuff and it’s residual. I followed the label exactly and made up a bottle to treat the whole house,all cracks and crevices, I also treated around my bed frame and stuff. It killed off the remaining bugs I had and I’ve been a happy sleeper. I have an extremely bad allergic reaction when I get bit,so if there were any, I would know immediately. That was over 3 months ago and I’m bug free. I make sure to take preventative precautions since I work in a high risk area so I use DE powder for that. The reason for this review is to say that if I had known about crossfire in the beginning, I could have saved about 1500-2000 bucks! The exterminator was mainly for peace of mind. In hindsight, if I knew about crossfire to begin with, I wouldn’t have needed the exterminator because the work that I did is what killed them. This is based on the level of the infestation I had and the preparations. Crossfire provides professional results and if this ever happens again(I pray that it never does), I’ll be using crossfire, DE earth, and my steamer to treat and destroy.

I was left with a nightmare after bringing bed bugs home from the hospital after having surgery! This is amazing product! Kills your infestation quickly and your back to your normal lifestyle! I sprayed once a week and probably didn’t even have to do that but it put me at peace.

WARNING: THIS IS A LONG RANT.I moved out about a year ago and made the mistake of buying a nice used couch from the Facebook market— in which I am truly scarred. WORSE. MISTAKE. EVER! After a few months of being there, it seems that bites started to occur here and there, and then often. I work at a healthcare hospice facility, so I buzzed the door open for visitors and screen people in. The door at my workplace stayed opened for so long that mosquitoes make there way in. I was getting eaten alive at work. So at first, I was convinced it was just mosquitoes. Then bites which looked like clusters and more clusters by my ankle looked like literally a block of cheese. It was the first time my ankles looked like CANKLES. I was indeed in denial.I would take pictures and show my sister, who showed my cousin (who had bed bugs before) and was able to identify the bites right away. My whole heart and world shattered. I could not believe this was happening to me.By the time I knew it, I’ve already had plenty of guests over within the short few months of living there. Seems like I was their favorite meal, as they only bit ME— For which I am grateful. But I have had several of visitors that slept over/hang out. They were all safe for some reason but I was the main target, the blood meal. The exterminator who I hired said it was fleas.. and said my apartment did not look infested and had no signs of bed bugs or bugs period. He came and sprayed one time to give me a peace of mind and was not thorough with inspection whatsoever. I felt like I was not a top priority, because they CAME! BACK! This was back in OCT 2021 when I hired the exterminator. It is now JULY 2022. Bed bugs have been living rent free in my apartment without feeding. They CAN INDEED RESURFACE. So when in doubt, do another treatment to make sure they don’t reproduce and stay dead.Currently: I am on WEEK 1. I will say, I have felt/feel super discouraged, stressed out more than usual, when I come home literally I want to ball up and cry. That’s how stressful it is. This CONCENTRATE, really DOES WORK. I will say, it is very mentally exhausting because I live by myself. Doing alone is not easy. It's a very tedious process but I am now finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I vacuum and I find dead bed bugs DAILY. Do not waste your money on drug store or commercial store items. (bed bug bombs, aerosol sprays, etc.) It DOES NOT work.On a side note, I haven’t been getting bit at my apartment anymore! I happen to own an air bed. (They can't crawl on airbeds. The roundness of the bed makes it hard for them to grip on it, I guess.) I just purchased another bottle of this stuff and plan to do about 2 other treatments. It’s super depressing to know that it will be gone in a months time, but all I can say is, it's WORKING! I’ll come back and update again in a month or two!*** UPDATE REVIEW ***If you landed on this comment again, Welcome back. I want to state that I had a super mild case. So Here is an update from start to finish.Treatment #1 - WEEK 1: I've watched a few Tik Tok videos to navigate through this stage. It was a video of a Tik Toker who used to be an exterminator. Instructions after treating your house/apartment do not vacuum. Allow concentrate to fully dry and work its magic the day after treating. (I had no choice but to sleep in my apartment.) Left the house for work, came back on Day 2 and immediately grabbed my flashlight. I did a thorough perimeter check, found dead bed buggies! In total, I found 6 vacummed my whole apartment. Day 3, I didn't find any bed bugs around the carpet this time, but on the (7 bed bugs) kitchen floor. Did another vacuuming. On Day 4, I vacuumed every day since for about a week on (Day 7.) I waited up to 3 weeks to treat again.Treatment #2 - WEEK 3: I realized I missed some areas in my apartment and this time I did the whole entire perimeter of my apartment from kitchen, to closet, to second closet, and the two bedrooms. I also treated the windows as well as vents outlets and the outline of doors that had wood. I saw a total of 3 bugs in the kitchen and in the closet in the kitchen. After vacuuming every day for a week, I found 1-2 dead bug bugs. Each time when vacuuming, I made sure to empty the vacuum and discard it into a bag before dumping. I wanted to prevent bed bugs from spreading and not having to find a new home to it's new host. I waited 2 weeks before treatment this time. Last time I got lazy. :PTreatment #3 - WEEK 5: The week before Week 5, I found 1 straggler. I treated my apartment once again for precaution. I'm 100% sure it's cleared. I haven't seen any since. And today, it is Week 6. At this point in time, I started to move my furniture back and get my apartment in order. I still currently have items in bins and clothes in bags. But just for good measure, I will probably treat my apartment, 1 or 2 more times again. I wanted to state that since I've slept on my air bed, I have not been bit at all for 2 months! GET AN AIR BED! Make sure your blankets don't touch the floor, they will use that to climb up, it's happened to me one night. You will thank me later. Sleeping on an airbed helped IMMENSELY! BED BUGS SUCK!! But with patience, over time this concentrate 100% will help you effectively eliminate them. Shout out to JASON AKERS! He is the reason I landed on this page to buy this product! GOOD LUCK ALL - Thanks for reading my experience!To anyone battling and struggling bed bugs, STAY STRONG. You’re not the only one! 🤝

Ordered this a few years back in 2023 after waking up mysteriously bitten for a stretch of months on my right arm and leg on a consistent basis and after having a pest inspector look at my apartment and claiming I did not have a bed bug problem. Looking for a home solution to address the bed bugs (or other culprit), I found this product recommended online. I mixed this concentrate as instructed and sprayed down my unit using a gallon lawn/garden pump sprayer I separately bought, left for a couple of hours, and came back. After almost 2 years, I have not since been bitten at all. I likely should have sprayed down my place on 6 and 12 months after the initial application just to be safe, but truly I owe my sanity and body to this product!
