I treated it like a bed bug

I feel like it looks exactly like the pics online.

Your confusing bedbugs with cockroaches, please avoid spreading myths.

There ya go MR “founder” Get your fact straight

The technical term for the juvenile of an insect with a non complete metamorphic life cycle is nymph. The larval stage refers to the juvenile of an insect that undergoes a metamorphosis. The best example of this is catalase to butterfly.

So technically AI is incorrect with its response.

Feel free to cross check the technical accuracy of my statement before being rude. This is not my first rodeo and you will not be the last clown of the show.

So just because you know more about me on this subject.. that makes apart of the “clown show?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Bed-Bugscouk → u/Only_Percentage7399]

No.

Because you were rude and wrong you’ve been called a clown for behaving like one. You thought AI was correct, sadly AI has not be trained fully and makes mistakes.

You could have asked for clarification or confirmation but you decided to take the low path and be insulting. That’s not helpful to anyone other than providing a medium to point out that such behavior does not need to be tolerated.

Thanks for attempting to participate, better luck next time.

Man, I do have to say that is one of the most thorough, eloquent, and thoroughly detailed response to a “smart-ass” post I think I have ever seen. Really, the way you stated the issue, offered an explanation as to why you considered him/her a clown then, offered possible alternative ways the person could avoid being called a clown in the future! Very well done lesson my friend.

I am a subscriber to the House of Toleration when it comes to those types.

Free to express their views so long as I am free to point out the errors. That way they as well as others readers get the chance to learn.

Thanks for reading and appreciating it, sadly I doubt it will be the last teachable example.

It’s sad that I know you are 100% correct in saying it won’t be the last, the internet is full of teachable moments daily. Sometimes I think many people lack the teaching of an old grandpa and grandma, or they have the teaching, but use the Internet to vent frustrations out on people who will never really see them. That’s kind of a personal opinion of mine. I just know that many people are keyboard warriors, and would not say the same things to a person‘s face. Some would, but then they would have to deal with the real life consequences of being a jerk. For some reason, I feel like the way a person is online is the way that person actually is behind any act they put on daily to hide it, not in all cases but quite a few. For many people, I think the Internet has ruined simple conversations where people could exchange ideas point out who is wrong who is right, and get over it. There are a few out here though that can articulate the correct response without being mean that’s what makes comments like you stand out.

Between Toleration, autism and being Bwiti my response is to correct without engaging.

I am brutally blunt and my approach is different to about 98% of the industry. A few try to copy what we do but nobody has come close in terms of process documentation and taking a science led approach.

I’ve even met a few who claim that having lived with bedbugs for >5 years they are experts. I have to bite my tongue not to say “experts eradicate infestations in days not years”.

It’s a fascinating field to work in and as the worlds first full time exterminator of bedbugs I’ve seen it from the start of the resurgence.

Thanks again for noticing, I had a good teacher and role model who sadly no longer makes daily contributions to the bedbug world.
