SHAKE WELL BEFORE EACH USE 

FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
 Crossfire is the next generation insecticide which effectively kills Bed Bugs in both residential and commercial buildings and structures. Crossfire patented technology provides residual control for up to four weeks after application and is scientifically formulated to target [pyrethroid, wild and or field] resistant as well as susceptible Bed Bug strains. Crossfire also kills Bed Bug Nymphs and Eggs by contact. This product must be diluted with water and applied according to the mixing instructions [directions] below. Apply Crossfire pesticide as an indoor crack and crevice, or direct spray application [according to application instructions] in non-food areas including but not limited to: hotels, shelters, modes of transportation, restaurants, schools, nursing homes, warehouses, offices, apartments, motels, kennels, and hospitals. Crossfire pesticide is an easy to use water-dilutable concentrate for application with hand-held, backpack or with a paintbrush. This product will not stain water-safe fabrics or surfaces, however care should be taken to test an inconspicuous area for staining prior to use.

TO KILL BED BUGS (Adults, Nymphs and Eggs): 
For best results, vacuuming surfaces is recommended prior to treatment. Spray bed bugs and eggs directly wherever possible. Apply as a pinstream, coarse spray or low pressure spray for crack and crevice, carpet perimeter, and direct spray applications in and around non-food areas where bed bugs and their eggs may hide or harbor. For example, on and around baseboards, floorboards, millwork, bed frames, headboards, wall hangings, furniture, door and window frames, walls, closets, window treatments, beneath floor coverings, as well as other non-washable items that may come in contact with bed bugs such as luggage, shoes and backpacks. If treating a pet’s living environment, spray on and around pet beds, bedding, floors, sleeping areas and furnishings. This product can also be applied with a paintbrush to walls, baseboards, floorboards, behind wall hangings and other similar areas.

MATTRESS APPLICATION:
Crossfire can be directly applied to mattress and box springs surfaces. For porous surfaces such as mattresses and carpet perimeter areas, apply until thoroughly damp but not wet. Infested bed linens should not be treated. These should be removed, tightly sealed in a plastic bag, laundered and dried at high temperatures prior to re-use. Vacuuming surfaces prior to treatment is highly recommended. Using pinstream, coarse or low pressure equipment, spray directly to mattress surface paying special attention to seams, folds, tufts and edges as well as bed frames and box springs where bed bugs harbor. Re-make bed with clean linens prior to reuse.USE RESTRICTIONS

    Got Rid of My Bug Problem!

    By Randy on 09/01/2017

    I called the exterminator for my bed bug problem. The guy pulled out this same bottle and told us "This stuff is $100 per bottle, but it works!" He then sprayed our beds and chairs and was gone. After a few days we were still finding bugs. I found this website and watched a video which said that it takes 2 hours to complete a room, including curtains, baseboards, etc. I ordered a bottle for $45 and completely covered the bedroom where we had found bugs. I can gladly say that we have been bug free for 3 weeks now. If you have an infestation, I would skip the exterminator, order this product, a bottle per room, and maybe repeat in about 2 weeks. It takes time to eliminate bed bugs--just be patient, and this product will work for you.

    Awesome

    By Momma on 08/06/2017

    We had tried many different methods in our house and nothing seemed to have lasting affects over a few days. Although, this product may seem expensive, it helped us out a lot. We got the $300 bottle for our 1,500 sq ft house, prepped it by removing all the clutter, and washed, then removed, all the clothes and linen. Sprayed our whole home from top to bottom, let it dry, and that night no bites. It has been 3 weeks now, we sprayed again after 10 days, and no a bed bug bite in site. All of the hiding spots they were in are now vacant too. Well worth the investment and very recommended. Saved our sanity.

    Does not kill on contact

    By Jacob on 02/28/2017

    Verified Purchase

    Sprayed then heat treated to 120 degrees 2 hrs still bed bugs some dead some alive cralled on bed next day still live ones ( disiapointed)

    Expert ResponseExpert response:
    Thank you for your comments! We always recommend to use heat treatments before applying spray insecticides. Heat treatments will break down pesticide residuals, so you are reducing the effects of the products you have sprayed if you heat it immediately after use. It is possible for products such as Crossfire to take several hours to kill bed bugs that contact the residual since factors such as size and health of the insect and how much active ingredient they pick up will affect this kind of timing. Just keep in mind that unless you have removed all the residual through extensive heating/steaming, Crossfire has very long residual and will continue to kill bedbugs for months after it has been applied. Please let us know if we can further assist you!

Q
do you need to sleep in the bedroom that’s being treated in order for it to work?

I was reading / studying as I am about to use crossfire & cimexa and came across a few comments that stated in order for a chemical treatment (crossfire) to work properly you should sleep in the room to attract the bed bugs so they don’t go looking for another host in another room. is this true?

A
You can resume sleeping in the room where Crossfire has been applied, once it has completely dried.

Q
Does Crossfire kill bed bug eggs?

Does CrossFit kill bed bug eggs? We currently have no living bedbugs, but I am concerned there may be eggs in different places. I called a few exterminators to get a quote on a heat treatment, and one of them said that pesticides generally do not kill the eggs. Just wanting to verify this is true.

A

Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate is labeled to kill bed bugs and bed bug eggs that you make direct contact with.

Q
What is the reason that you cannot use Crossfire in ULV foggers?

Will the preparation be ineffective? Or, on the contrary, will it be dangerous for the applicant? Most biocidal pesticides are suitable for ULV foggers. The composition includes pesticides used by professional companies for ULV foggers.

A

Unfortunately there is no way for us to know why manufacturers do not test products such as Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate to be fogged. Any time that you go off label, it will not give you the same results as if you've used it per the label. Keep in mind that manufacturers spend a lot of time & money to come up with rates/usage to give you the best perfomance from a product. Going against that will give you potential ineffective results

Q
Will it work in my room if other tenants don't use Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate?

Essential oils?

A

Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate will only work in the rooms that it is sprayed. Unfortunately any other tenants dealing with bed bugs will continue to have them if they do not treat as it only kills those that contact a treated area.

Q
Can I spray Crossfire on my mattress encasements, or should I remove them?

Can I spray directly on my encasements, or should I remove my encasements to apply?

A

No, Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate would be seams/spot treatment only. You can't spray Crossfire all over the encasements. Per the label for mattresses, it states, "Crossfire can be directly applied to mattresses and box springs surfaces. For porous surfaces such as mattresses and carpet perimeter areas, apply until thoroughly damp but not wet. Infested bed linens should not be treated. These should be removed, tightly sealed in a plastic bag, laundered, and dried at high temperatures before re-use. Vacuuming surfaces before treatment is highly recommended. Using pinstream, coarse or low-pressure equipment, spray directly to the mattress surface, paying special attention to seams, folds, tufts, and edges, as well as bed frames and box springs where bed bugs harbor. Re-make the bed with clean linens before reuse."

Q
Can this be sprayed directly on a mattress, carpet or couch?

I've seen conflicting statements about where Crossfire can be applied. Some responses say crack and crevice only, and other statements say you can spray it “directly on” furniture where you sit or on top of a mattress. I'd like to use it on places where someone sits, lays, etc. Not just in the cracks and crevices.

A
Yes, Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate can be directly applied to mattress and box spring surfaces per the product label.  Do not oversaturate mattresses, carpets or furnishings, apply until thoroughly damp but not wet. Infested bed linens should not be treated. These should be removed, tightly sealed in a plastic bag, laundered and dried at high temperatures prior to reuse

Can crossfire be mixed with temprid for heavy infestation?

Q
How do I dispose of unused Crossfire mix?

We mixed a gallon of it, but after spraying where we needed to we ended up with a little under a quarter of it left and it's been over 24 hours since we mixed it, so it needs to go. But the label only offers disposal instructions for the BOTTLE, not for unused product.

A
For disposal of product such as Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate, we generally recommend pouring it out on bare ground if applicable. Otherwise, you can also contact your local waste management. They usually have locations for disposal/drop offs of chemicals.
