Marty from Highland Park, Illinois writes

I have deep pile carpet which could easily host bed bugs. Should I dust the entire bedroom carpet with CimeXa?

Carpet is thick and deep "frieze" style and different shades of brown. Would be impossible to vacuum deeply. Would I puff dust the CimeXa all over the carpets (very dusty) or mix with water and spray down? Either way, since it's recommended to vacuum carpets often, would I want to leave it down for a couple weeks to make sure the bugs and newly hatched nymphs would walk across it.

Answer:

Treating for bed bugs in a carpet would be very similar to treating for fleas. You will apply the CimeXa Insecticide Dust as a lightly dusted broadcast application over carpets and rugs and along baseboards. Dust applied to carpets and rugs should be brushed in using a stiff carpet brush or broom. This allows the very fine particles to work down into the nap of carpeting where bed bug eggs and pupae hide. Once the product is brushed into carpeting, regular vacuuming will not disturb it so you will still want to be sure you are vacuuming daily, or every other day, for 14 days.
