    Q
    How well does CimeXa Insecticide Dust work on German roaches? How well will it be if used in kitchens?
    A

    CimeXa Insecticide Dust is a great addition to a roach control regimine. It is applied in the wall voids and under baseboards and in cracks and crevices. It will last for up to 10 year in a wall void that is undisturbed. If you are treating for roaches, this is not the only product we would recommend. Please take a look at our Roach Control Kits that have insecticide, bait gel and an IGR. 

    Please take a look at our Roach Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches in the future.

  • Asked by Graham from Oregon

    Q
    I applied the CimeXa Insecticide Dust as liquid. When dry it has formed a paste around my baseboards.
    Did I apply it too thick? I used 1 liter of water for 4 oz. of Cimexa which I measured to be equivalent to 1 gallon/1 pound. Are bedbugs supposed to be able to crawl through this? It looks too thick for that to happen.
    A

    When treating for bed bugs with CimeXa Insecticide Dust, it should be used in the dust form.  The label states the following:

    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 don’t apply dust directly in electrical boxes. Apply about ¼ oz of dust to each accessible void.

    The label also states that when using it as a liquid application, the product does not dissolve in water and will be left behind and visible after evaporation.

    When treating for bedbugs, it takes a combination of products to take care of the problem.  Please view our Bedbug Control Kits and  our Bedbug Control Guide for great information on treating for bedbugs and the best products for the job.

  • Asked by Lisa from West Texas
    11/18/2016
    Q
    Will previously applied DE decrease CimeXa effectiveness?
    My father has been using DE against bedbugs and after months of vacuuming, taking bed apart, etc. still finds a 0-3 bedbugs during his near daily inspections of beds and couches. He recently has put mattress covers on and interceptors under furniture at my insistence. Meanwhile, my mom has been suffering from a terrible rash which after 3 visits, the dermatologist thinks due to bedbugs. I have read CimeXa is more effective than DE but household dust decreases its effectiveness. Will DE do likewise?
    A

    There really would be no valid reason for mixing Cimexa with Diatomaceous Earth as they are both dusts that would be used in the same areas and will kill the same way.  If you do choose to apply them both, you should apply each product according to 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 may avoid the treated area.

  • Asked by Suzanne from Blacklick, Oh
    04/08/2017
    Q
    If I have Cimexa dust around the legs of my bed is it safe for my cat to be under and around the bed?
    A

    CimeXa Dust is safe for pets when applied as directed on the product label. We would recommend only applying CimeXa Dust in cracks and crevices where it cannot be moved around easily and, thus, exposed to pets. If the dust is visible, then the excess dust should be picked up using a moist paper towel. If you are trying to protect from or check for bed bugs, then we would suggest traps such as the Climb-Up Insect Interceptors used under the bed legs.

  • Asked by Patrick from South Gate
    10/16/2018
    Q
    Is Cimexa safer than diatomaceous earth?
    A

    CimeXa Dust is similar to diatomaceous earth in that it is an all-natural product that does not break down over time. However, CimeXa Dust is more finely processed than most DE products, allowing for very low use rates. CimeXa also works as a direct dessicant, meaning the insects only have to contact the dust for a short amount of time rather than actually moving across it, so it does kill a little more quickly than DE. CimeXa Dust will be effective as long as it is present in the treatment area and remains dry.

  • Asked by Mike from Chesterfield, Michigan
    10/19/2016
    Q
    What is the best product to use for a spider infestation in the drop ceiling in my basement?
    about 900 sf of ceiling and the drop is about 8 in for the bottom of the floor joice
    A

    An insecticide dust such as CimeXa Insecticide Dust applied with either a hand duster or a Dustin Mizer would be great to use in a drop ceiling area for spiders and other crawling pests. CimeXa will be effective as long as it is present and dry, so it will provide protection long after liquid insecticides will have broken down. Dust is also safe to use where there may be electrical wires in that area. You may also need to check the humidity in the basement area; higher than normal humidity can attract insects which are providing a food source for the spiders. Please see our Spider Treatment Guide for more tips and information.

    Q
    Can I turn fans in the room after applying CimeXa Dust? Will that disturb the dust and make it airborne?
    A

    Cimexa Dust should be applied in areas such as wall voids, under and around baseboards, and behind outlet covers, and under sinks.  If it is applied according to the instructions on the product label, the fans should not disturb it.

  • 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
    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.

    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
    Will Cimexa Dust kill carpet beetle larvae?
    Had a carpet beetle infestation and we got rid of beetles but are still seeing larvae on baseboards and walls once in a while. I dusted with DE and sprayed dark areas with Suspend.
    A

    Cimexa Dust is labeled for carpet beetles when applied as directed on the label and can kill the adults and larvae that contact the treated area.  If you have already applied a DE dust we would not recommend applying another dust in the same area for several months as too much dust can make insects avoid treated areas.  

    Please take a few moments to review our article about How To Treat Carpet Beetles for more tips and information.
