  • Asked by Marty from Riverwoods, Il
    12/01/2020
    Q
    Can I use Crossfire after using CimeXa?
    If I used Crossfire and then after it dried put down CimeXa in the cracks and baseboards, can I retreat 14 days later with Crossfire? Wouldn't that ruin all of the CimeXa when it wets the product? Since CimeXa can last up to 10 years, I would hate to waste product or have to redo.
    A

    Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate can be applied and dried to listed areas on the label including baseboards prior to applications of Cimexa if dispersing underneath baseboards/carpet edges, etc. Here is a great article (including videos) with additional information on a successful program.

  • Asked by Draven from Hudson N.c.
    12/31/2021
    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
    can I use in a hot car
    Wanted to try spraying car interior then leaving car in hot sun. Will high temps diminish the effectiveness of Crossfire?
    A
    Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate should be able to hold up in high temperatures but it would be best to use the Crossfire Aerosol in vehicles to spot treat.

  • Asked by Chi
    07/10/2022
    Q
    If the residual effects of Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate lasts for 30 days, then why should we reapply every 7 to 14 days?
    Sprayed with crossfire and seemed to be free for 3 weeks. Then I began to see signs and get bites again. Sprayed a second time 30 days ago but it seemed to have no effect. Sprayed for a third time a few days ago. If the residual is supposed to last for a full 30 days then why do we need to reapply so often?
    A

    Per the manufacturer, Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate should be applied every 30 days for preventative treatments.

    For active bed bug infestations, it is necessary to retreat every 7-10 days with Crossfire along with an insecticide dust such as Cimexa Dust to reach further back into cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide. This process needs to be reapplied every 7-10 days until you go 30 full days without seeing any signs of beds. 

    After the application of Crossfire has dried, dust along baseboards, in corners, around window/door trims, undersides of boxsprings, between the mattress and box springs, inside hollow furniture legs, etc. 

    Please view our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more information on a full treatment program

    I'm in Wisconsin and it's cold. Frozen entire large bottle of it. Is it still any good after it's thawed out and then mixed?

  • Asked by Mrs from London, Uk
    11/11/2021
    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.

    Q
    Can Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate be sprayed over areas where Diatomaceous Earth has been applied under kitchen units?
    A

    We would not recommend spraying Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate on top of areas where DE or any insecticide dust has been applied. You will want to spray insecticide (Crossfire) first, let the applicaiton dry and then come back and apply DE or an insecticide dust.

    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.

    06/03/2022
    Q
    Can Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate be used on bed pillows?
    A

    Pillows should not be sprayed with Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate. Instead, they can usually be washed and dried. The heat from the drier would kill any bedbugs. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions before use of this product.

    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
    Should everything be cleaned and wiped down after applying Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate?
    A

    No, we recommend cleaning prior to the Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate application instead so that none of the residual is removed from the areas treated.

    Per the product label, in the home, all food/feed processing surfaces and utensils should be covered during treatment, or thoroughly washed before use. Cover or remove exposed food/feed

    We do not recommend overlapping products such as DE over Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate  as we do not know how they may react. You may put products near each other but do not overlap.
