    Q
    Someone told me that aerosol cans can make insecticides less effective, is this true?
    A
    CrossFire Aerosol contains the same active ingredient makeup at the Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate, which means that both products should have the same end result, regardless of the aerosol formulation.  Please refer to our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for all the recommended steps to bed bug elimination.

    Q
    Does Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate kill mites?
    A

    Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate is only labeled for bed bugs and would not be effective against mites.

    Since there are hundreds of different species of mites, we recommend having a positive id of the specific mite you are treating for by a local pest control company or by the Entomologist with your County Extension Office before purchasing products.

    Q
    Can Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate be used on bed pillows?

    Q
    Will mopping solution affect the application of Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate?
    Treated 24 hrs ago with Crossfire and would like to mop my flooring. Can I use Mr. Clean Antibacterial to mop my floors without deactivating any of the residual of Crossfire?
    A

    Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate should not be applied as a broadcast spray application onto floors, but should be applied to cracks and crevices and around perimeters of rooms for bed bug treatments.  Furthermore, you would not want to mop the treated area, as you will remove the residual effect of the active ingredient, taking away the effect of the application.  Please refer to the manufacturer's product label for complete application instructions, and use only as directed.

    Bed Bugs will require a combination of products to treat the cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide along with repeat applications every 7 days until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs.

    Please view our Bed Bug Kits and Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more important information on eliminating bed bugs.

    Q
    What is the temperature ranges after a heat treatment that Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate can be used?
    A

    Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate is for inside use only in temperature controlled areas so normal indoor temps are best. If you are going to heat treat rooms, you should do so first then apply Crossfire for residual killing.

    Please refer to the product label for more information.

    Q
    Can you apply Crossfire in areas that were previously treated with EcoRaider?
    I applied Ecoraider Bed Bug killer with a sprayer a few weeks ago to many areas of my home. Can I apply Crossfire over these ares that were previously treated with Ecoraider? Also, can I use diatomaceous Earth on my wall to wall carpeting of I just use crossfire along the perimeter?
    A

    EcoRaider will continue to kill exposed bed bugs for 10-12 days after application. After 10-12 days, you can apply the Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate, which has a residual of 30 days. The Crossfire would give you a better kill rate than the Diatomaceous Earth but yes, you can apply it along the wall. 

    Please review our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more great information and treatment steps to eliminate Bed Bugs.

    Our Bed Bug Kits also provide the best products necessary to treat the tiny cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide.

    Q
    I sprayed fresh lemon juice into some cracks, will this reduce Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate efficacy if sprayed in same place?
    A

    We would recommend spraying some water in the cracks to “flush” any remaining lemon juice out of the cracks and crevices first, and then you can spray the Crossfire. It should not affect the Crossfire application.

  • Asked by Debbie from Blackwell, Ok.
    11/07/2021
    Q
    Do clothes hanging in the closet need to be washed if using Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate?
    A

    After using the Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate, washing sheets, pillow cases, and clothes as needed, vacuuming regularly are all helpful methods in a bedbug treamtent program. While cleaning the home, look for any signs of live bed bugs around the room or your belongings.

    On average one gallon of mixed solution of Crossfire should be enough to treat multiple rooms since you are just focusing on baseboards and crevices, bed frames, and mattress and box springs. 

    Please view the product label for more information.

    Q
    How long does an application of Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate take to dry before allowing pets and people back into the area?
    I have COPD so need to know how long before I can go back in, 3 hrs, 4 hrs?
    A
    We recommend consulting with your medical professional before using any insecticide in your home for proper precautions in regards to your health. 

    When using Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate, spray applicaitons should be done till the areas are only slightly damp, not oversaturated or soaking wet. Typical wait time to ensure the areas have dried completely is about 4-6 hours.

  • Asked by Ec from Sacramento, Ca
    10/13/2021
    Q
    After applying Crossfire on a mattress, should you cover it with a bed bug mattress encasement?
    Would you then need to take off the encasement, retreat 14 days later, and put it back on or would it be better just to leave it without the encasement until you've applied it twice?
    A

    You can encase a mattress after application of Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate. You should not retreat a mattress with Crossfire or any other insecticide once it has been encased. The encasement must stay on for at least 12 months once it is placed on the mattress.

  • Asked by Mary from Toledo
    10/11/2021
    Q
    I did Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate application a week ago and have 2 new bites. How long should it take to stop getting bitten?
    A

    The biggest thing with bedbugs is to stay on top of treatments every 7-10 days and be meticulous with the applications to get into every nook and crevice you can. It is recommended to retreat every 7-10 days for active infestations of bedbugs until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bedbugs or without anyone getting bit. Crossfire can be sprayed every day if needed, but for an active treatment, every 10 days is recommended.

    Applying Cimexa Dust to wall voids, in between mattresses and box springs, behind headboards, around windows, etc is also a great treatment to reach further into the crack and crevice than a liquid application 

    Please view the Bed Bug Treatment Guide for step by step instructions on how to eliminate bed bugs. Our Bed Bug Kits would also be a good option as there is not one product that will eradicate a bed bug infestation.

  • Asked by Kali from Raleigh, Nc
    09/14/2021
    Q
    Are there any other precautions to prevent symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, etc using Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate?
    I sprayed with Crossfire for 1st treatment about 10 days ago. I wore long sleeves, pants and mask. I also used gloves. I sprayed curtains, boxspring, empty drawers, baseboard, and inside of my couch. I left my home for several hours to allow time to dry. Almost 2-3 days later, I began to have severe allergies which I assume is associated with the spray. Is this common?
    A

    Some people may have certain allergies to specific products such as Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate as it is a chemical containing active and inert ingredients. We would recommend reaching out to your primary doctor as we are not medical professionals, and we are unable to advise on this. You may provide the information on the Safety Data Sheet to your doctor.
