While there wouldn’t necessarily be a reason to combine the two, you can do so safely. There is not an exact ratio but some customers do 50/50 of each dust when applying them.

CimeXa Insecticide Dust is not specifically labeled for springtails. We have confirmed with the manufacturer, Rockwell Labs, that the product will kill springtails that come in contact with a lethal dose.
Springtails are an indication of a moisture issue, so their abundance means there is a moisture problem that needs correcting. You will not be able to reduce the numbers of this pest successfully until you have addressed and corrected the moisture issue that is allowing them to flourish. Springtails getting in the home can be tricky to treat for since the source of the nest is somewhere outside under the ground. Anything that can add excess moisture to the soil would be an attractive area for them, such as concrete patios, walkways, ground covers such as pine straw, mulch, etc. If you have any mulch, rock, or pine straw around the home rake it all back away from the home and treat the soil below it heavily with either Tempo SC Ultra or Talstar P Professional Insecticide and then let it stay uncovered and dry out for a week or so to try and deter them from that area. Check walls and pipes for any leaks (even minor ones that aren't showing water damage yet) or areas where excess condensation may be collecting. If your yard hasn't had a good core aeration done in the last few years you may want to have this done to help reduce moisture in the yard and help with compacted soils. As an additional barrier you could dust your wall voids with a product like CimeXa Insecticide Dust. This would be a long-lasting approach for a variety of pests, including springtails, to help give an unseen barrier behind the drywall for any insects traveling through those areas once they get in. It can help slow the population that emerges in the home.
Additional tips to reduce attractiveness of Springtails to your home include:- Checking all pipes around and in the home for leaks or excess condensation
- Check weep screens and holes for excess moisture and use insecticide dusts in those crevices
- Rake back, reduce/thin, and turn any mulch, pinestraw, or other ground cover material around the home. These items keep a ton of moisture on the soil and within their materials which provides an ideal living space for springtails.
-Treat monthly with an insecticide like Talstar P Professional Insecticide or Tempo SC Ultra under and in mulch bed areas as well as around the foundation of the home
-Trim back branches of bushes or trees that may touch the home
-If where they appear most frequently is a shaded side of the home, see if you can trim back tree branches that may contribute to excess shade during the day, that way sunlight can help dry out the soil
-Core aerate your lawn each spring to help with soil compaction and excess water holding in the yard
Bedbugs will hide wherever there are places for them to hide. In most situations you will not be required to spray all of the carpet for bedbugs because bedbugs will not sit out in the middle of the carpet. Usually you will concentrate your treatments up under the lip of the carpet and other cracks and crevices. A dust insecticide such as Cimexa Dust would be a great choice because it stays active for a every long time. Our guide here can explain the correct treatment.
