You can use CimeXa Dust in the cracks and crevices around or under the radiators, but we would not recommend applying it direclty onto any heating or electrical components.
CimeXa Insecticide Dust can be applied over carpets. Per the product label, you will lightly sprinkle over carpets, sweep or rake in, and then vacuum. You should not apply Cimexa in food prep or eating areas.
It is not recommended to apply CimeXa Insecticide Dust directly to bedding. We recommend applying the dust in box springs and into wall voids. For seams and folds of mattresses, we recommend a product like Bedlam.
When treating for bed bugs, it is important to treat thoroughly the rooms where you have found evidence of bed bugs. We also recommend using residual spray and dust on the other sides of walls in adjacent rooms. You could potentially use CimeXa Dust under baseboards and behind outlet and switch plate covers in other rooms, too, for general pest prevention since this is a non-selective insecticide. You do not need to try to remove dust unless there is excess dust out in the open; dust in the open can be wiped up using a damp paper towel.
CimeXa Insecticide Dust is safe if pets are not present during the application when used as directed on the product label. It is best to keep pets out until the dust settles before they return to the treated areas. Typically you would apply in areas where pets are not going to have access to it, such as cracks and crevices or brushed down into carpets.

Be sure to wear gloves while cleaning. 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.
CimeXa Insecticide Dust will kill nymphs, including those after they hatch from their eggs, and adult clothing moths that come in contact with the insecticide dust. Per the label :
Stored Product (Pantry and Fabric/Clothes) Beetles and Moths: Treat cracks, crevices and along the edges of cupboards, closets, pantries, shelving units and storage. Treat voids beneath drawer units by removing the lower drawers and treating the well.Treat the voids beneath shelving units or cabinets by removing the kickplate or drilling small access holes in the kickplate. Treat under rugs and along the edges of carpets and baseboards and other infested areas to control carpet beetles.
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.
CimeXa Insecticide Dust is not 25b exempt but it is a green product, and only contains 100% Silica dust.
If you were to mop an area where Cimexa was just applied, then you would be mopping up the product as well. Cimexa will not be as effective in the areas where you mop. Please be sure to review the product label for complete application instructions, it should only be applied to cracks and crevices around hard floor rooms, not the entire surface.. Also, please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Fleas Guide for more information and helpful tips on eradicating this pest.
Yes, CimeXa Insecticide Dust is labeled to help control silverfish and ants when used as directed on the product label.
Once the old carpet has been removed, we would suggest treating with an insecticide like Temprid FX along the baseboards and also once the Temprid FX application has dried, applying Cimexa Dust to the wall voids using a bellow hand duster. Dusting in wall voids is an important part of any bed bug treatment program to treat further into the cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide and migrate from room to room. Dusting allows you to treat beyond where the Temprid FX can reach. Click HERE to view our How to Apply Cimexa Dust Video.
If mixing Cimexa with water for spray solution to treat the flooring before replacing the carpets, the application would need to be completely dried to where there is only a white powdered residue left behind.
For active bedbug infestations, repeat treatments of Temprid FX and CImexa Dust would be required every 7-10 days until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs or without getting bit. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Guide for more information.
