    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.

  • Asked by Thomas from Seattle, Wa
    12/12/2016
    Q
    Does Cimexa kill all life stages of fleas?
    A

    CimeXa will kill adult fleas. As fleas come into contact with it, the dust literally dries the fleas out causing eventual death. There is not a chemical that can penetrate the pupae lifecycle stage so it is important to vacuum even hard surfaces. We do carry CimeXa along with NyGuard Plus in our Indoor Flea/Tick Kit. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for more information on a successful eradication program.

  • Asked by Reed from New York, Ny
    09/21/2018
    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
    Is CimeXa harmful to Bees?

    While CimeXa Insecticide Dust is not labeled for bees, it is not really selective in the insects it kills so can harm bees if they contact a treated area long enough to pick up the product and be effected.

    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.

    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.
