Did I apply it too thick? I used 1 liter of water for 4 oz. of Cimexa which I measured to be equivalent to 1 gallon/1 pound. Are bedbugs supposed to be able to crawl through this? It looks too thick for that to happen.
When treating for bed bugs with CimeXa Insecticide Dust, it should be used in the dust form. The label states the following: Remove bedding and take the bed apart. Treat the interior framework, joints and cracks in the bed frame. Treat the mattress and box spring, paying particular attention to tufts, folds and edges, and the interior framework of the box spring. Remove wall-mounted head boards and treat the back side. Treat picture frames, moldings, hollow furniture legs, cracks and crevices, along baseboards, and any areas with visible signs of infestation, including rugs and carpet. Treat upholstered furniture by removing or lifting (if possible) the cushions and treating the undersurface. Treat the interior framework, cracks and joints of the furniture, and the folds, tufts and edges of cushions and other upholstered areas. Do not treat toys and stuffed animals with product. Treat wall voids by removing electrical switch plate covers to allow access, but don’t apply dust directly in electrical boxes. Apply about ¼ oz of dust to each accessible void. The label also states that when using it as a liquid application, the product does not dissolve in water and will be left behind and visible after evaporation. When treating for bedbugs, it takes a combination of products to take care of the problem. Please view our Bedbug Control Kits and our Bedbug Control Guide for great information on treating for bedbugs and the best products for the job.
