I got Cimexa and Crossfire and applied a few days ago. So far I'm very pleased with all the bed bug carcasses I'm seeing. The bodies I see that are still intact were probably killed by Crossfire. The bodies that are all curled up with nothing left but skeleton were probably killed by Cimexa. I'll try to remember to do a follow up in a month or so.
It is 1:43 am. I laughed entirely too hard at this. Im sure I woke up the house. They're definitely coming to get me but this was too funny! Idk whose voice o read this in😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cimexa (amorphous silica gel) dust is very effective, best used as a dry powder wherever possible -- applied with a puffer or brush. We used it in our apartment complex for seniors and disabled folks. Cimexa worked where everything failed -- pesticides, diatomaceous earth, and very expensive but ineffective full building heat treatment. Even with a return infestation after 3 years (primarily due to new residents bringing bed bugs with them), spread has been confined because of the long residual effect of Cimexa in baseboards and between wall voids. While the Cimexa and water spray application may seem appealing because it's easier, it's also less effective than the dry powder. The loose dry powder worked within 12 hours in our tests. The water spray could take 3 days or longer before the bed bugs picked up enough dried Cimexa dust to be effective in desiccating the bed bugs. The loose dry powder also has the advantage of spreading itself more readily in wall voids of large buildings where drafts occur, and there's no risk of water damage or electrical shock. Puffers with non-conducting applicators are safer. Other methods include local application of steam heat (via a clothes steaming wand or upholstery steam cleaner) to furniture, baseboards, etc. -- anything that won't be damaged by steam heat. It works very quickly and can help salvage otherwise usable furniture, bedding and clothing. We used an ordinary Conair steam/heat clothing wand on furniture and baseboards. For larger applications a rented upholstery steam/heat cleaner would be useful. Electronics and other delicate items that cannot withstand heat/steam can be treated with concentrated carbon dioxide. An NIH/NCBI study recommends ordinary dry ice in an enclosed container such as a styrofoam ice chest or closed plastic trash can with the items -- computer, electronics, any delicate item. Keep the container with dry ice closed for 24-48 hours while the carbon dioxide displaces oxygen and asphyxiates the bed bugs. See: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23025189 These methods are fairly labor intensive and compared with the modest cost of the materials including Cimexa dust, the biggest cost for professional application would be skilled labor. If the pest control applicators are unwilling to put in the labor, including getting on their hands and knees to do the job properly, results will be compromised. That was our experience with a pest control company that preferred the water based application of Cimexa around baseboards and in the general vicinity of furniture, but didn't actually strip the beds, flip the furniture and treat seams and under dust covers, inside box springs, etc. Do the job as demonstrated in this video and it will be effective.
Thank you so much, I found 2 of these little bastards on my bed and have been researching like a mad man ever since. Im going to go through the areas again with CimeXa after I get it professionally treated
@@andrewtaylor5492 I ended up going kinda crazy and used Cimexa all along any cracks and crevices in my whole house and underneath my furniture and in any cracks and crevices in my furniture. Then I used Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate which is a liquid mixture you can spray and I sprayed that in every corner and along the floor where the walls meet the floor and in all my window seals and I sprayed the underside and inside of all my furniture. I also got diatomaceous earth and sprinkled it all in my carpet. I hauled my bed and the couch I found the bed bugs in to the dump. I took all my clothes dressers apart and coated the inside edges and crevices with Crossfire and Cimexa. It took me 2 straight days of work non-stop going through all my my house treating any cracks and crevices but I have never seen another bed bug since then. I probably went overboard but I hate that dirty feeling of feeling like I am living with bugs so it was worth it for me. The bed and couch i threw out were like 10 years old anyway. But yes from my experience and all the research I did, Cimexa works very very well, especially when you also use the Crossfire Concentrate
@@BrentCox2B thanks for the thorough reply, found some bugs and did treatments but wasn't knowledgeable enough to know everywhere those bastards can get before I jumped the gun and now they're back again and I'm looking for a way to go about it. I'm thinking I might just have to cave and hire an exterminator but i wanted to try again before I do , I can't stand the feeling of knowing those dirty shitheads are in my house.
Excellent video. Shows what you need to do to get rid of bb, the thoroughness you must use. Great show on the CURTAINS-they will set up shop waaaaaay up in the curtains.
Hi there, the rates for liquid application may be found on the label under Application Rates and Methods. We'd be happy to help answer any questions and figure out the exact rates for you. Please give us a call at 816-283-3167 so that we may learn more and offer the best advice.
I applied this stuff a little aggressively and I am suffering side effects to my throat, lips, eyes, and feeling chest tightness at times. I do feel better when I get fresh air. However, I need to sleep in my bedroom. What can I do? Help
Hi Bob, thanks for watching our video! The JT Eaton Hand Bellow Duster and extension rod may be purchased from Do-it-Yourself Pest Control at: store.doyourownpestcontrol.com/
@@ArchMage1011 No problem, Bob! The brush is a larger paint brush in which we have cut off the extended handle and drilled through the remaining handle until it reaches the brushes. Instructions on this may be found in this video: ruclips.net/video/OC8mFqvyH9I/видео.html
Hello Vell, thanks for your interest in CimeXa. CimeXa is not available for purchase at Walmart and does not come with the application brush. However, Cimexa is available for purchase online: store.doyourownpestcontrol.com/cimexa-insecticide-dust
Hi Vell, yes. Dr. Sandidge is using a JT Eaton Hand Bellow Duster to apply CimeXa. However, there are many different brands. Everything he used in the video may be purchased here: www.dustrod.com/products

Hi Melanie, thanks for your question. While you may remove electrical switch plate covers to allow access to voids, CimeXa shouldn’t be applied directly in electrical boxes.
Hello, thanks for your question. The vacuum being used in this video is the Exacticide with the battery-powered carpet applicator accessory from Technicide. They may be purchased as a bundle here: www.technicide.com/products/10-off-bed-bug-bundle-deal.
Hello Joe, thanks for your question. We have not had any reports of CimeXa causing illness or lung disease. CimeXa is an amorphous silica dust, not a crystalline silica dust. Crystalline silica dust is known to cause silicosis if breathed chronically. Amorphous silica does normally have desiccating (drying) properties, so inhalation of dust during application can be irritating and should be minimized (a particulate dust mask is recommended for application). But it is not considered hazardous. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
The exacticide is one of the biggest pos equipment purchases you can waste money on. Way overpriced and breaks. Can’t believe I fell for the marketing years ago. It’s junk

Will this be enough though? It doesn't seem like anything is being applied and when I got rid of my bed bugs I had a thick line surrounding the room.
How does one sleep on a bed covered in this dust? Wouldn’t you end up inhaling it?
how much water to how much powder , I put 2 tsp in about a quart of water is that good ?
