Cimex Eradicator is a machine which is capable of eliminating bed bugs including their eggs without the use of insecticides. This particular machine has very little enviromental impact and has absolutely zero negative health effects. It is a steam generator which Polti's Steam Disinfector nozzle is attached to and where the steam produced in the boiler is heated up to 180 degrees Celsius. The steam released kills 100 percent of the bed bugs by shock through heat for a continual disinfestation. Throughout the delivery stage, the steam is combined with HPMed detergent (a water and alcohol based solution) which works as a coadjuvant to wipe out the unpleasant smell of bed bugs and soften the glue-like substance which sticks the eggs to any types of surfaces. The super heated, dry steam of this product can be utilized on any type of fabric or surface without leaving behind any residue and can also be steered into the hard to reach corners in order to treat nesting areas. The fungal, viral, and bacterial count is lowered in just seconds when using the Cimex Eradicator. This innovation has a nozzle that comes with controlled-expansion, heat exchange device and a 2-liter boiler capacity.

Q/A:
How does the Cimex Eradicator work?
The Cimex Eradicator is a steam generator with a special steam nozzle - the Steam Disinfector (with a Polti patent) - that superheats steam up to 356°F, which is the above the temperature necessary to kill bed bugs due to thermal shock.
What kind of water should be used?
The Cimex Eradicator has been designed to work with normal tap water with an average hardness between 8° and 20° f. If the tap water contains a lot of limescale use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% commercially available demineralized water. Do not use pure demineralized water. (For more information on water hardness please contact your local council).
How does the Cimex Eradicator kill bed bugs?
The bed bugs are killed by thermal shock. The Cimex Eradicator's steam has a temperature of up to 356°F which penetrates the bed bugs’ nesting places very effectively. Laboratory tests show that at the first application, it eliminates more than 90% of the adult insects (Tests by Pest 2000 & Pest 3000, Italy).
Does the Cimex Eradicator also kill the eggs?
The Cimex Eradicator is also effective against the eggs. At the first application it eliminates 100% of the eggs.
Is the Cimex Eradicator a safe system?
The Cimex Eradicator is a safe system because it uses only steam together with HpMed; it does not require any use of dangerous substances for health such as insecticides. Correct use of the Cimex Eradicator guarantees the eradication of bed bugs, making the environment healthier. For the correct use of the Cimex Eradicator please refer to the instruction manual.

Is there a procedure to follow?

How much does the Cimex Eradicator consume?
The Cimex Eradicator has a maximum power of 1500 W. Its energy consumption is that of a standard household appliance, for the limited period of treatment.
Is the Cimex Eradicator also effective against other insects/mites; does it disinfect other bacteria?
The Cimex Eradicator sanitizes the treated surfaces. It helps to eliminate mites, viruses, bacteria and fungi. It is not effective against very light insects or those with high mobility.
Besides eliminating bed bugs can the Cimex Eradicator be used for other purposes?
Cimex Eradicator can be used as an ordinary steam cleaner, by purchasing the steam accessory kit (code PAEU0269).

Necesito algo efectivo para los chinches. Me pueden escribir en Espanol por favor?
El Cimex Eradicator es una maquina capaz de eliminar cinches, incluyendo los huevecillos. Esta maquina requiere HPMed para el tratamiento de chinches y para mejor resultados ya que tambien elimina el mal olor causado por los chinches. La maquina funciona como un limpiador a vapor y no funcionaria como los insecticidas ya que el vapor puede eliminar a los chinches al contacto.
