    Q
    I have read to not have children around when applying Cimexa.
    I have not seen it addressed that children will ultimately be on the carpet or touching items/toys that have cimexa on it, breathing it, transferring to face etc. can you address residual for children?
    A
    Children should not be allowed back in the area until the CimeXa Insecticide Dust has settled.  You are normally applying it to cracks and crevices and wall voids. CimeXa Insecticide Dust should not be applied to kids toys or carpet where they may be putting the item in there mouths.

    Q
    Can CimeXa Insecticide Dust be mixed with insecticide for application?
    I purchased CimeXa Dust for use to eradicate fleas in an empty, carpeted house. I also purchased FenvaStar EcoCap and NyGuard EZ1 with the plan to mix these two together in a 1 gallon sprayer (at proper concentration) to lightly spray the carpet. I planned to follow up with a broadcast of CimeXa dust. Then I read that CimeXa dust can be mixed with water & applied via spray as well. Would it be possible to mix the CimeXa dust in with the insecticide and IGR and apply all 3 at once?
    A

    CimeXa Insecticide Dust can be sprinkled over flooring. Then you can spray Fenvastar Eco Cap mixed with Nyguard IGR over that. Be sure to vacuum before and after application and daily until you go 30 days without seeing any activity.

  • Asked by Elliott from North Wales, Pa
    10/19/2015
    Q
    When mixing Cimexa and Diatomaceous earth, what would be the best ratio?
    I would like to mix Diatomaceous earth with Cimexa, as I want to treat our entire house we are just purchasing. I have a 25 lb. of DE, and I just purchased 2 of the 4 oz. bottles of Cimexa.
    A

    There really would be no valid reason for mixing Cimexa with Diatomaceous Earth as they are both dusts used in the same areas and kill the same way just with different active ingredients. If you choose to apply them both you should apply each product following the instructions on each product label.  Be aware that applying too much dust can have a negative effect, if you can see the dust so can insects and they can avoid the treated area then, either should be applied as just a light dusting.

  • Asked by Sera from Yakima, Wa

    Q
    Does the liquid application of Cimexa Dust kill bed bugs just as good as the dry application?
    If the liquid application works to kill bed bugs, would I get more coverage in my apartment using the liquid application.
    A

    Cimexa Dust can be used 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. Please see our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more tips and information.

    Q
    How do you treat your mattress with CimeXa Insecticide Dust?
    I have a futon with a metal frame and no box springs. I have put the mattress inside an encasement and DIY interceptors under the posts. Because of the metal slats I can't really apply a layer under the mattress. I would like to treat the mattress if I can because I am afraid that I might carry one onto the bed. Should I treat only under the encasement or may I apply it directly under my sheet? The product label just says "Treat the mattress and box spring..."
    A

    Per the CimeXa Dust product label, "Remove bedding and take the bed apart. Treat the interior framework, joints and cracks in the bed frame. Treat the mattress and box spring, paying particular attention to tufts, folds and edges, and the interior framework of the box spring. Remove wall-mounted head boards and treat the back side. Treat picture frames, moldings, hollow furniture legs, cracks and crevices, along baseboards, and any areas with visible signs of infestation, including rugs and carpet. Treat upholstered furniture by removing or lifting (if possible) the cushions and treating the undersurface. Treat the interior framework, cracks and joints of the furniture, and the folds, tufts and edges of cushions and other upholstered areas. Do not treat toys and stuffed animals with product. Treat wall voids by removing electrical switch plate covers to allow access, but do not apply dust directly in electrical boxes. Apply about

  • Asked by M from Wesley Chapel, Fl
    12/12/2015
    Q
    Is CimeXa Insecticide Dust just as good in water as applied dry? Where do you spray it when mixed in water?
    And how many 4 oz bottles make 1 lb to 1 gallon of water?
    A

    CimeXa Insecticide Dust is effective applied in the dry formulation using a dust applicator and mixed with water and applied as a spray. It will last longer in a voided area when dry if left undisturbed and not removed. Apply at a rate of 2 ounces per 100 square feet. In attics and crawlspaces, apply at a rate of 1 lb per 1000 square feet. Use a handheld bellows, bulb or puffer bottle type duster to apply a light, visible film. A power duster may also be used.

    Liquid Application: This product can also be used as a spray. Mix 1 lb. of product with 1 gallon of clean water. Apply approx. 1 qt of solution per 250 sq ft. of area to be treated. The product will be left behind after the water evaporates.

    A 4 oz. bottle covers approximately 200 square feet. A 5 lb. pail covers approximately 4,000-5,000 square feet.

  • Asked by Ron from Los Angeles, Ca
    01/21/2016
    Q
    Can I use Bedlam Plus, Cimexa Dust and Nuvan Pro Strips inside a truck cab with gnats, and sometimes spiders or fleas inside?
    I have searched for "truck" and "car" in the Q&A section and read a dozen hits on how to deal with bug / spider / flea / cockroach infestations. Recommendations include: D-Force HPX spray, Demon WP, Cy-Kick aerosol, SteriFab, and Ultracide. I also plan to remove and treat my leather heated / cooled ventilated seat covers b/c I think there may be some critters hiding inside there. For that I have considered putting Nuvan strips inside the seats and parking the vehicle for a couple of day before airing it out so the fumes can get around. Most of the center console, doors, dash and trim are hard plastic (2012 F150). The floors are carpeted, the ceiling is fabric, and there is a sunroof.
    A

    Before starting your treatment, we recommend a thorough vacumming of the vehicle. Discard the contents of the vacuum immediately in a bag and put in a separate trash container. Bedlam Plus aerosol can be used on the seats, tufts and folds and will provide a contact kill and leave a residual for up to 2 weeks.  

    After the Bedlam has dried, Cimexa Dust can be applied under the seats, along cracks and crevices, tracks for seats and directly to the carpeted areas. Insecticide dusts are meant to be applied as a light dusting, you do not want to clump or over apply. Using a brush, work the cimexa dust into the upholstered areas and carpets. Repeat vacuuming daily or every other day. Refer to product label for specific instructions regarding your treatment. 

    Nuvan Strips are labeled for use in vehicles and as long as you follow the Nuvan Product Label they should work very well and not cause any damage.

  • Asked by Marie from Sc
    01/25/2016
    Q
    Do I need to reapply CimeXa dust after each treatment with liquid pesticide?
    I have the dust inside baseboards and molding. We have sprayed liquid pesticide on them as well. Do I need to reapply the dust in those areas?
    A

    If you are going to apply both liquids and dust formulations in or near the same area, then we would recommend applying the liquid or sprays first, allowing them to dry, and then applying the dust such as CimeXa Insecticide Dust. Applying sprays on top of dusts will cause the dust to clump and to become ineffective. CimeXa Insecticide Dust will remain effective as long as it is undisturbed and dry.

  • Asked by Mary
    02/07/2016
    Q
    Will Cimexa Dust hang in air? How long? Is safe to let newborn baby enter the room with dust on?
    After applying dust, will I feel very dry in air? Will the dust float in air? Will I breath the dust because it will hang in air? After treatment, when can I bring baby in? Or I should vacuum the dust away?
    A

    We would recommend keeping children and/or individuals out of the area until the Cimexa Dust settles completely. This could be 1-2 hours depending on how much was used. This product is mainly used for wall voids. If you are concerned about breathing the product in, we would recommend using a respirator mask when using the product. Be sure to let the dust stay down for at least 24 hours before vacuuming the area.
