Cimexa Insecticide Dust is pet safe when used as directed on the manufacturer's label. Pets should be removed from the area being treated until the dust has settled. If you are treating in wall voids, then the product should not come into contact with your dog. If you are applying it to carpets for flea control, just make sure to rake the powder into the carpet with a broom, and vacuum up any excess dust that may still be sitting on the tops of the carpet.
CimeXa Insecticide Dust is not labeled for applications to areas of upholstered furniture that come into direct contract with your body, but instead by removing or lifting the cushions and treating the undersurfaces of the furniture. You can dust behind your walls, under your baseboards and behind outlet and switch plate covers for effective insect control as well. We recommend vacuuming the surfaces of your recliner thoroughly to remove any dust or dead insects, and applying Steri-Fab Insecticide, which is a contact kill only that is labeled for applications to furniture and is safe for humans to come into contact with the treated area after it has completely dried.
Insecticide dusts like CimeXa Insecticide Dust are generally for treating in accessible areas where liquid insecticides cant reach to treat. Dusting applications can be applied from indoors and outdoors to areas such as: wall voids, along baseboards, cabinets, shelving, around window and door trims, around plumbing, in drop ceilings, around eaves and vents in attics/crawl spaces, in weep holes of brick and siding, etc.
Please view the full product label for more information on the target pest being treated for approved application sites.
CimeXa Dust should be applied as a crack and crevice treatment only indoors. If it is applied to rugs or carpeting, then the dust should be worked into the nap of the carpet using a stiff brush. If there is visible dust on hard surfaces, then you can wipe that up using a damp paper towel. Any contaminated personal items should be washed or rinsed since this can be a skin irritant.
You may call the hotline on the Safety Data Sheet with other concerns about contamination: 816-283-3167.
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.
