Quick Recap:
Bed Bug Nightmare
- Unthinkable Infestation: Michael and his team encountered one of their most extreme bed bug infestations in Amarillo. The pests had taken over not only the bedroom but were visibly crawling on the kitchen floor during the day—a testament to the severity of the case.
- Heat Treatment Process: Bug Tech performed specialized heat treatment, a method explained in detail to the homeowner before application. Michael recounts the sight of bed bugs piling up as they were killed by the heat, creating heaps resembling piles of apple seeds. The psychological toll on the homeowner, who had moved to sleep in a recliner, highlights the trauma bed bugs can inflict.
- Cleaning Up the Aftermath: The team offered post-treatment cleanup through a sister company, but the customer chose to handle it themselves. Michael revisited two weeks later to find dead bugs still scattered throughout, showing the overwhelming scale of the problem.
Raccoon Invasion in the Chimney
- Surprising Discovery: What started as a call for birds in the chimney turned into an adventure with raccoons. Adam, a Bug Tech expert, found a raccoon mom and seven large babies using a specialized chimney camera. The mother bolted, leaving her babies behind.
- Brave Rescue: Adam and fellow technician Matt teamed up to remove the babies, with Adam fearlessly grabbing the raccoons by hand. The adorable yet intense moment underscores the skill and courage required in wildlife control. The raccoons were safely relocated to a rehabilitation center, much to the homeowner's relief.
German Roach Infestation
- Roaches Galore: In one of the most overwhelming cases, Michael describes treating an apartment infested with German roaches while simultaneously dealing with bed bugs. When they pulled out the refrigerator, over 500 roaches scattered across the floor.
- Sheer Scale: German roaches reproduce rapidly, and in this one-bedroom unit, there were an estimated 10,000 roaches infesting every part of the home, including the HVAC closet and window trims. The episode explains how the pests multiply and why professional intervention is crucial.
- Extreme Measures: Bug Tech’s team braved roaches crawling over their boots and heating hoses, exemplifying their dedication to eradicating even the most severe infestations. Michael humorously shares how he has to strip outside before going home to avoid bringing the pests into his house.
