    Q
    Does crossfire still work properly after being in the cold weather? My crossfire was shipped in -2 degree temp
    Went out and got the crossfire that came in this morning, but when I opened it, the bottle was very cold. I left it out and it had condensation on it, but was not frozen solid and could still shake it around.
    A

    If  Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate froze, it is no longer effective and should be discarded. It is recommended to store the product at room temperature.

    Q
    Can crossfire be mixed with temprid for heavy infestation?
    A
    No, Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate should not be mixed with Temprid. We do not ever recommend mixing two insecticides together. If there is a heavy infestation, it may be best to use a bed bug kit

    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

    An hour after spraying it changed my mattress

    We apologize but we have not heard of any staining issues using Crossfire. Per the label, This product will not stain water-safe fabrics and surfaces, however care should be taken to test an inconspicuous area for staining prior to use.

    Q
    Can you spray Crossfire after a professional exterminator comes and treats for bedbugs?
    I'm having a professional exterminator come in to treat for bedbugs. Is it good or ok to spray Crossfire 10 to 14 days after they have treated the one time?
    A

    If you have a professional coming to spray your house, we do not advise spraying anything to mess up their treatment.

    04/30/2023
    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
    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
    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
    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
    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.
