    Q
    Will white residue left on couch after liquid CimeXa Insecticide Dust treatment dry clear? If not when to vacuum?
    Sprayed and 'painted' recommended amount to couch tufts, edges, bottom, between cushions. Left white residue. Will it dry clear? IF not when can I wipe, or vacuum?

    Since CimeXa Insecticide Dust will dry back to powder formulation, it can leave a white residue on darker surfaces. You can wipe and vacuum the residue away.

    Q
    Is it ok for Cimexa to be in contact with wood prior to insulating?
    A

    CimeXa Insecticide Dust can be applied to voided areas and cracks and crevices. We recommend that you insulate first and then treat with a dust applicator so the dust does not get disturbed during the insulation installment process.

    Q
    Can Cimexa become airborne again after the initial application?
    How easy would it be for Cimexa to become airborne again after the dust settles from the first application?
    A

    CimeXa Dust is a dry powdery formulation, so if left out in open areas, then it could potentially move. Insecticide Dust should be used only in cracks and crevices where it is not easily disturbed or moved.

  • Asked by Reed from New York, Ny

    Q
    I have my records stored in milk crates. If I apply Cimexa to the crates, with minimal exposure to the records, will it be effective in killing any bedbugs in the collection/record sleeves?
    A

    We do not suggest allowing any dust contact the records to avoid damage. We do offer Nuvan ProStrips that most folks will use for pictures, papers, books, music cds, dvds, electronics etc. It is not guaranteed that the treated crates will reach the bedbugs that could be potentially inside the sleeves.

    Q
    What is the best long term bed bug dust?
    My next door neighbor is a frequent traveler so I would like to do some bed bug prevention in our place (feel free to tell me if you think this sounds too paranoid). I was thinking about removing the baseboard and putting a good dust behind it along the walls. Can you please tell me which dust would be be the best choice for this task (no pets and no kids in the house). Thanks a lot.
    A

     Cimexa Dust would be a good option for you to use to treat or prevent bed bugs.  It will last up to 10 years in undisturbed areas.  You may also want to take a look at our Bed Bug Prevention Guide for more tips and information.

  • Asked by Dave from Murfreesboro, Tn
    03/09/2016
    Q
    Is it advisable to mix CimeXa Dust with a pyrethroid dust, such as Delta Dust or Tempo 1% dust?
    A

    While it is not usually needed to mix another type of dust with CimeXa Insecticide Dust you could do so as long as they were applied as directed on their respective product labels.  CimeXa does work very well on its own and actually has a broader label of applications than either Delta Dust or Tempo 1%.

    Q
    What product should CimeXa Insecticide Dust be paired with to treat for bed bugs?
    I was skimming through the reviews and read a reply left by an expert on here that said that although this is a good product, you recommend not to use it alone because it can take a few days to kill bedbugs so, what can you pair this with? also what can I use to apply it?
    A

    We recommend several different products to use in conjuction with CimeXa Insecticide Dust for bed bug control. Please see our Bed Bug Treatment Gude  for a list of products we recommend one of which would be one of our Bed Bug Kit for example see our Bed Bug Kit #2 that would treat 2 bedrooms completely, plus give you follow-up treatments as well.

    Q
    Should I use Cimexa dust prior to drywalling a new home?
    I am getting close to drywalling a new home in central texas. I have treated with you Boracare before foam insulation for termite control. Should I dust with Cimexa dust prior to drywall for spiders ants, scorpions and such? Wet spray? Or is there a better product with long residual for inside walls? Thanks
    A

    Cimexa would be a fantastic option for treating wall voids prior to putting up drywall for long term insect protection on a new home. You can apply it in dry or wet form, whatever is easiest for you as the residual will not change with your choice in application method.

  • Asked by Karen from Philadelphia, Pa
    07/14/2017
    Q
    Is Cimexa suspended in water suppose to leave a white Residue?
    I mixed one 4oz bottle of Cimexa with 1 quart of water, this should be 1/4th of the usual 1 lb to 1 Gallon of water formula. The solutions looks very cloudy and when applied leaves a white residue. I know I'm suppose to thinly apply dry dust or else the bed bugs will avoid walking in it. My question is, will the bed bugs avoid the white residue?
    A

    Per the CimeXa label,  the product does not dissolve in water and will be left behind after evaporation.  So you don't need to apply it very heavy, just a light dusting will be enough that the bed bugs will walk through it and pick the dust up on their bodies.

    Q
    What is the ratio of water per ounce of CimeXa Insecticide Dust if I want to put in a spray bottle? Is the spray just as effective?
    What is the ratio of water per ounce of CimeXa Insecticide Dust if I want to put in a spray bottle?
    A

    Cimexa Dust can be used effectively as either a liquid or dry form. For the liquid form, you will mix 1 lb. of product with 1 gallon of clean water. This will treat approximately 1000 square feet. Approximately 1 qt of solution will treat 250 square feet. The dry form will likely give you more coverage than the liquid form will. You should still only apply Cimexa Dust as a crack and crevice treatment as directed on the product label.

    Q
    How many puffs of the cry Cimexa from a B&G M1150 Bulb Duster to create 4 oz for in between the wall locations?
    Your website says to put 4 OZ of Cimexa in between sheet rock. If I were to drill holes in the sheet rock every 16" so I could puff the CimeXa into the wall cavity (between the sheet rock) how many puffs would be enough to kill these bed bugs? And will the CimeXa stay in the wall cavity once sealed or will it come into the house, as I don't want to be breathing this stuff. Thanks
    A

    You should only need to use 1-2 puffs in each hole to apply CimeXa Insecticide Dust, it is really only applied in a very light dusting.  You actually do not have to drill when using the B&G M1150 Bulb Duster, you can just use one of the tips and appy under the baseboard as shown in our video here.  CimeXa can last up to 10 years in undisturbed areas such as wall voids.
