Bed Bug Kit #2 - Questions & Answers

It is not recommended to apply the Cimexa Dust in the same areas that you have treated with Temprid SC for most insect applications. The areas that you will treat can vary based on the insect or insects that you are targeting. Please provide additional information so that we can give you more specifics on where to apply each product.

The products in the Bed Bug Kit #2 are safe when used as directed on their respective product label,.  As long as you keep pets/children out of the area while you treat and until the product has had time to completely dry or settle it is safe for pets and people to return and resume normal activity typically after 1 hour.

 

Yes, Bed Bug Kit #2 contains products that can be used on the couch. Temprid FX can be applied to upholstered furniture. Apply only to the infested tufts, seams, folds, and edges, but do not apply to flat surfaces where prolonged human contact will occur. You may also want to use a contact kill like Sterifab that can be directly applied to mattresses, couch cushions and all areas where other insecticides cannot. Please read our "How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs" article for steps and tips on how to do your own treatment.

We recommend that you contact a reputable pest control company in your area and request a free pest inspection so that you know for sure what type of insects you are dealing with. You don't have to hire the company but they can tell what type of moths you have and whether or not you have bedbugs. We are very reluctant to give product recommendations to families that have auto-immune problems or are asthmatic because we do not know what might cause issues for those folks. Before using any type of product you need to consult with their doctor to be sure the product will not have adverse effects on them. If you do find that you have bedbugs you can use either our bedbug kit 2 or bedbug kit 3 as it comes with all of the products you need to use to eliminate this pest. The same products will also help you eliminate spiders and moths. Please take a few moments to read over our pest control articles on bedbugs, clothes moths, spiders and Integrated Pest Management (controlling insects with limited use of chemicals).

It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with mites. Have the suspected mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for bird mites.  Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

There is no easy way to get rid of bedbugs, if there were an easy way to eliminate them then we would not be seeing so many people with infestations. Bedbug treatments are time consuming and labor intensive. You MUST treat every crack and crevice in infested areas, wash and dry clothing, inspect and treat books, shoes, knick knacks, papers, electronics and any other item that has potential to harbor the insects. A great way to save money when treating for bedbugs is to do it yourself.

While PI and JT Eatons Kills Bedbugs II will kill bedbugs you make direct contact with they do not leave long residuals.  Talstar P is labeled to kill bed bugs but you cannot use it in all the areas required for an effective treatment.  Zenprox EC is a very popular product and can be used in more areas, so it is a very good recommendation. However, it is well documented that bed bugs require multiple forms of treatment and preventative measures which are outlined on our Bed Bug Product page. We do advise you read our article, “How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs”. We would recommend using a dust as well as something like Zenprox EC to treat the areas that you cannot put a liquid such as behind the electrical outlets, switch plates, unders baseboards, etc.

Bedbugs are not a pest that can be eliminated quickly, and it will take multiple treatments and time to kill all of them that may be in your home. We highly recommend you go back to your bedroom to sleep so that the bedbugs do not follow you and infest your couch as well. Bedbugs need a human present to be attracted to, so they come out of hiding and cross all the chemicals you have applied to be affected by them. The only thing in the home they are attracted to is us unfortunately. Your order of Bed Bug Kit #2 should have had a print out of our bedbug guide included in the box which goes over step by step instructions for the application of each chemical, the non chemical steps you need to be taking in addition to the chemical ones, and the overall outline of how long it should take and what to expect.
