  • Asked by Karen from Philadelphia, Pa

    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
    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.

    Q
    How do I remove excess CimeXa dust?
    Hi, I went pretty overboard with Cimexa due to the fact I was extremely stressed out by a bed bug infestation. It feels like it's impossible to get rid of Cimexa. Do you know the best way to remove it from fabrics?
    A

    To remove Cimexa Dust, you can simply vaccum the area and then rinse with soap and water. You should launder any fabrics that you think may have gotten the dust on them.  Be sure to wear gloves while cleaning. Please call us at 866-581-7378 with any questions. Keep in mind that dusts like CimeXa should be use only accorrding to the product label as a crack and crevice or void treatment. You can use a damp paper towel to pick up excess dust during or after application.

  • Asked by Irene from Philadelphia, Pa
    01/08/2018
    Q
    What is the best way to apply CimeXa Dust to my bed sheets?
    I am trying to apply CimeXa on the lower edges of my bedsheets so when the bed bugs come to feed on me, they'll have to crawl through the CimeXa. How thin of a layer should I apply?
    A

    CimeXa Insecticide Dust is not labeled for application to bedding at all and should not be applied directly to bed sheets.  Per the product label, for bed bug treatment:  "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.  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.  Please take a few moments to review our How to Get Rid of Bedbugs treatment article for more helpful tips on treating your home for this pest.

    Q
    Is CimeXa Insecticide Dust like a puff of smoke enough?
    A

    A little CimeXa Insecticide Dust goes a long way if used as directed, applied with a dust applicator such as a B&G Bulb duster. We would suggest a couple of puffs around each electrical outlet/light switch plate and other cracks and crevices. You want barely to see the dust (no need for heavy applications). Please take a few moments to review our article on dusting for additional information.

    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 Alex from Fort Myers
    05/11/2018
    Q
    Is CimeXa Dust a repellent? Or is it similar to Nibor D?
    A

    CimeXa Insecticide Dust contains silica gel as the active ingredient, which is a dissicant. This product is not a true repellent or non-repellent because it can take some time for the insects to die from it. Nibor D contains Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, which is a stop-feed stomach poison for target insects. If you would like to tell us more about your application, then we can recommend which product would be more appropriate for your needs.
