CimeXa Insecticide Dust – Bed Bug & Flea Control | Do My Own

Posted on February 14, 2018 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

CimeXa Insecticide Dust is the newest product available in the battle against bed bugs, fleas, ticks and other insects. CimeXa Dust is 100% Silica dust, is very safe, odorless, and will not stain. CimeXa Dust will last up to 10 years when applied to undisturbed areas like wall voids. It is very effective on bed bugs, fleas, and especially pyrethroid resistant bed bugs. It will work on ants, roaches, firebrats, silverfish, spiders, mites, lice, stored product/pantry/fabric/clothes beetles, moths and drywood termites.When pests come into contact with CimeXa, the product clings to their exoskeleton and absorbs the waxy coating, causing death from dehydration.

How to Use Dusts and Dusters

CimeXa Insecticide Dust contains 100% natural silica gel which kills insects by contact. When insects pick up the dust on the exoskeleton, it clings to and absorbs the waxy coating, causing dehydration and eventual death. CimeXa is best applied with a duster to avoid over-application. Because of its mode of action, CimeXa Dust takes longer to kill target pests. However, the natural ingredient has no properties that cause it to change or break down, so the dust is effective for at least 10 years when applied in undisturbed areas.

Ants, Crazy Ants, Cockroaches, Firebrats, Silverfish, Spiders, Mites, Bed Bugs, Lice, Fleas, Ticks, and Drywood Termites.

PESTS CONTROLLED WITH CIMEXA INSECTICIDE DUST:

Ants, Cockroaches, Firebrats, Silverfish, Spiders, Mites, Bed Bugs, Lice, Fleas, Ticks, Drywood Termites. Kills Bed Bug Adults and Nymphs Kills Bed Bug Nymphs Hatched from Dusted Eggs kills Pyrethroid-Resistant Bed Bugs.

CimeXa Insecticide Dust can be used in place of other similar insecticide dusts and used in voids, cracks and crevices for most common crawling insect pests. Because of its stability, CimeXa Dust is ideal for tedious or time-consuming dusting treatments, such as treatments of wall voids or attic spaces. CimeXa Dust is also an excellent dust for bed bug treatments because there is no known resistance to it. CimeXa Dust is completely natural, making it preferable for use in sensitive accounts or locations.

Apply at a rate of 2 ounces per 100 square feet. Use a handheld bellows, bulb, or puffer bottle type duster to apply a light, visible film. A power duster may also be used. Power duster use is limited to cracks, crevices, voids, attics and crawlspaces to insure containment of dust particles. Focus on areas where insects or their signs are seen.

CimeXa Dust may also be used as a spray, paint-on application, or foam. Combine 1 lb of product per gal. of water. Apply approximately 1 qt. of solution per 250 square feet of area to be treated. For injection treatment, add the appropriate amount of foaming agent to the product/water slurry and inject directly into galleries and voids.

A 4 oz. bottle covers approximately 200 square feet. A 5 lb. pail covers approximately 4,000-5,000 square feet.

In and around residential, multi-family, commercial, industrial, institutional, municipal, agricultural, research, daycare, health care, educational, recreational, and office buildings, hotels, motels, garages, transport vehicles, warehouses, theaters, food handling and food processing establishments, Federally inspected meat and poultry plants.

Indoors

In attics, be sure to get dust near the eaves and vent pipes where insects often first enter, as well as around any pipes or potential access points between the attic and the main structure.

The bottom drawers in kitchen and bathroom cabinets can be removed and dust applied into drawer wells. No dust should be left exposed when drawers are replaced.

Cimexa Bed Bug Treatment: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 headboards 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 dont apply dust directly in electrical boxes. Apply about oz of dust to each accessible void.

Cimexa for Flea Control: Apply at a rate of 2 ounces per 100 square feet. Treat kennels, pet bedding/rest areas, floor and floor coverings (such as carpets), cracks behind molding and baseboards and other areas where pests may harbor. Apply as a light film or light coating over the target surfaces.

Outdoors

CimeXa Dust is not intended for outdoor use.

QI have bedbugs and I live in an aparment that has carpet. Do bedbug live in or under carpet? Does carpet need treatment? What spay should be used on carpet?

ABedbugs will hide wherever there are places for them to hide. In most situations you will not be required to spray all of the carpet for bedbugs because bedbugs will not sit out in the middle of the carpet. Usually you will concentrate your treatments up under the lip of the carpet. A dust insecticide such as Cimexa Dust would be a great choice because it stays active for a every long time.

QAre there advantages to using CimeXa Insecticide Dust versus the Alpine dust?

AThere are two main advantages. Cimexa is 100% Cilica, which is basically ground up sand. It is 100% natural and green. The other advantage is that in undisturbed areas CimeXa can last up to 10 years, whereas other dusts including Alpine will typically only last 1 or 2 years at the most.

08/05/2013 Karen from Massachusetts

QCan CimeXa be used together with Diatomaceous Earth?

AYes, these two dust are completely compatible and can be used mixed together to provide extra control.

QI have read to not have children around when applying Cimexa. I have not seen it addressed that children will ultimately be on the carpet or touching items/toys that have cimexa on it, breathing it, transferring to face etc. can you address residual for children?

Are Bed Bugs in the Walls? – The Bed Bug Inspectors

Posted on February 11, 2018 by admin Click Here For Article

Are Bed Bugs in the Walls? With the seemingly unstoppable spread of bed bugs, especially the rapid pace in which infestations expand in apartment buildings, hotels, dorms and schools, many wonder if there are bed bugs in the walls, making it easy for them to move from location to location.

While its common knowledge that there may very well be bed bugs in the walls when a structure is infested, there is still debate as to if this is the origin of the infestation and/or the primary cause of the infestation spreading to other locations. One family who moved into a new apartment and got bed bugs believed that they came into their home from being transferred on clothing and furniture. Of course, that can also be true.

The University of Kentucky, in its research, both agrees and disagrees with the idea that bed bugs in the walls are a primary way they spread. In their research on how bed bugs originate, they noted the following:

The bugs are efficient hitchhikers and are usually transported in on luggage, clothing, beds, furniture, and other items. This is a particular problem for hotels, motels and apartments, where turnover of occupants is constant. Bed bugs are small, cryptic and agile, escaping detection after crawling into suitcases, boxes and belongings. The eggs are especially tiny and are usually overlooked. Acquiring secondhand beds, couches and furniture is another way that the bugs are transported into previously non-infested dwellings. Bed bugs also can be carried in on a persons clothing or shoes, resulting in an infestation.

Yet, they do not rule out the use of walls as a means of bed bugs spreading out throughout a building. Their research also concluded, Once bed bugs are introduced, they often spread throughout a building. The bugs can travel from room to room or floor to floor either by crawling or via a person. And, because there may be cracks and crevices in walls, it makes sense to think that they can hide out here and also avoid some bed bug treatments this way. Eventually, they will come out and seek beds and other areas, so it is important to re-inspect and re-treat those areas as well as inspecting any used furniture and other items like suitcases before bringing these items into a new location in case you are inadvertently transporting hitchhiking bed bugs.

In SummaryIn debating how bed bugs spread, this blog post noted the following points:

North Carolinas misguided Landlord/Tenant Bed bug …

Posted on February 11, 2018 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

The North Carolina Senate will be considering a bill in 2012 that would have a huge impact on how landlords and tenants deal with bed bugs and who pays for treatment in the state.

H721, also known as the Landlord/Tenant/Bedbug Liability bill, passed in the North Carolina House in June. I have some concerns about its provisions.

The bill would prohibit landlords from renting a unit known to be infested by bed bugs. However, if the landlord gets an inspection from a licensed inspector, prior to leasing the unit, with a written report stating no bed bug evidence was found, then the landlord wont be liable if a problem is discovered later.

If the landlord does not get an inspection before renting the unit, and then a tenant complains bed bugs are present within 60 days of renting the unit, the landlord must hire someone to treat within five days of this complaint. All neighboring units must also be inspected.

Landlords must also provide educational materials about bed bugs to new tenants.

The bill also requires tenants to refrain from knowingly introducing bed bugs to the unit, stating: tenants shall not knowingly or recklessly introduce onto the premises any person or thing infested with bedbugs.

Tenants must notify landlords in writing within five days of suspecting they may have bed bugs.

If the landlord got an inspection before the tenant moved in, or if more than sixty days have passed since the tenant moved in, the tenant must pay all costs of bed bug treatment hiring a firm within seven days.

This tenant would also need to cover any fees charged by the licensee [PCO] and any damages associated with the presence and elimination of bedbugs from the premises and any attached units and spaces.

[Emphasis added.]

My concerns:

Heres just one way this could go horribly wrong:

The instinct behind the bill to make things fairer for landlords, and to force both landlords and tenants to work together to fight bed bugs is not a bad one.

I understand the need for landlords and tenants to share the burden of eliminating bed bug problems. It isnt fair for landlords to shoulder the entire costs of bed bug problems which are invariably brought in by tenants, guests, or maintenance workers, or which come from an attached building owned by someone else.

On the other hand, it also isnt fair to create a system in which responsibility can be evaded as simply as this, or where an inspection holds more weight than is due.

It really is not possible for inspectors to sign off on units with 100% certainty theyre clear.And tenants who dont report problems promptly but instead put up with the problem for a while will be rewarded when their neighbor gets bed bugs and reports their own problems, then becoming liable for the costs of treatment for all units.

You cant really legislate who pays for bed bug treatment based on the blame game. Blame for bringing bed bugs into a particular structure is just far too difficult to discern in many cases.

This bill was dreamed up by people who dont know a lot about how bed bugs operate, or how difficult it is to determine with 100% certainty whether theyre present or not. Not surprisingly, it was initiated by a rental housing industry group.

Because posts about legislation under consideration often cause confusion to readers, I stress that this bill has not been made into a law, but be warned: it will come up for consideration in the North Carolina Senate in 2012.

You can download the full text of H721 from the North Carolina General Assemblys website (PDF).

Fumigation is the most commonly used method for pest control and elimination in Wyoming, WV. It involves the use of pesticides or pest retardants in gaseous form, referred as fumigants, to poison pests in a residential area, business complex or public space that has been infested. Fumigation is also used in agriculture or grain produce to prevent the soil being infected or during import and export of goods to get rid of insects, worms and organisms that might be transported from place to place. While excessive use of chemicals in any form is to be avoided because it may harm human life or structural buildings, the process is not entirely effective in pest elimination, it merely prevents the pests making their presence once again in the same area.

The fumigation process is usually done in a phased manner. As a first step, Pantry Beetles, the entire area that needs fumigation is sealed off or covered. Next, the area is fumigated, i.e. the chemicals are released in the covered space which may be a home, an office, a warehouse or storage complex, underground cellar, ship cargo containers, etc. In the third phase, the fumigant is allowed time to completely fill the enclosed space and kill the pest itself (woodborers, termites) or pest infestations (eggs, larvae). Finally, the area is ventilated with fresh air and sunlight so that no trace of the chemical or gas is left behind. Once this process is completed and thorough inspection is done, the area is certified pest free.

Until the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty signed in the late 1980s to protect the Ozone layer of the atmosphere from depletion, was signed the random use of many chemicals was widespread. The widely used fumigant at the time was Methyl Bromide; its production and use were restricted later.

The list of fumigants in use includes:

Formaldehyde Phosphine Chloropicrin Sulfuryl Fluoride Methyl Isocyanate Hydrogen Cyanide

Broadly, fumigation methods and Bed Bug Control can be categorized into surface and sub-surface. Surface treatments refer to fumigation done on exposed surface areas. Sub-surface refers to treatments where gases or chemicals have to be applied into spaces like soil, cargo containers and storage tanks etc. Sub-surface fumigation methods are:

Tubing Trenched Short Probe Long Probe Combination Recirculation

The methods adopted for surface fumigation depend greatly on the situation, circumstance and the nature of pest and pesticide. For homes, the Tenting Method is used, where a rubber tent is placed to seal off the area. In larger structures like entire buildings, Goodwin Pest Control Wyoming Wyoming County other options that take into account the size of the building and infestation come into play.

Fumigation in the Wyoming County area has to be done in an extremely non-hazardous manner and the agency or operator who carries out the process has to be a certified authority with knowledge of the chemicals and how they can be used so as to ensure maximum safety to life and property. The area of knowledge comprises the proportion of fumigant to be used in relation to the area, type of fumigant, time duration for fumigation to take effect and complete ventilation post-fumigation.

Many pest control and pest service companies in Wyoming WV place great emphasis in defining and following eco-friendly pest control and fumigation methods that do not harm or endanger the environment in any way. Newer and advanced practices of pest control follow the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) method that focuses on three standard principles. These are:

1. Pest Control Education It is the onus of the pest control agency to educate customers on the nature of pests, their behavior and enlighten them on preventive measures to protect homes, offices and other buildings from being infested in the first place, which is very vital to the pest control process.

2. Proactive Pest Prevention this is a three-way process.

i. Eliminating food source of the pest e.g. unwashed dishes in the sink, garbage, unsanitary home conditions

ii. Remove water sources wet and soggy conditions in home areas or buildings, stagnant or still water sources like ponds, fountains, tanks, dry leaf clusters in gardens etc.

iii. Destroy shelter areas holes or crevices in walls, pipes, roof tops, ceilings, ground, basement etc. Also tree branches that extend towards the house should be chopped off so that they do not touch the building; use of window screens and meshes are also useful.

3. Environmentally responsible selection of material to use as fumigant should be extremely low-risk or nil-risk.

Container fumigation helps in treating commodities with a view to minimizing or even eliminating risks of disease and pests. This is a method that can also be used to solve various disease and pest concerns including bed bugs, pest infestations of food products, oak wilt disease, salmonella and more. In fact, this method is very effective and it can virtually fumigate anything though before using this method, be sure to check label restrictions that dictate which commodities can be fumigated and which cannot.

Container fumigation is different to in transit fumigation because it requires that to fumigate the container the latter should be stationary until the process is completed. This means that the container needs to be parked before it can be fumigated.

Fumigation will only be effective if proper fumigants are used. These are chemicals that at normal temperatures take a gaseous form. Being very toxic, these fumigants can prove to be very effective in killing pests and by rapidly penetrating through grains as well as various commodities they can do a very effective job. However, these fumigant gases will diffuse (during fumigation) in various ways. This is why before using fumigants it is important to thoroughly understand each fumigants properties and also what kind of results can be expected.

Fumigation means using a process in which a fumigant is added to a fumigation enclosure with the specific intention of killing off all pests. The best fumigation practices are those processes that provide desirable results by ensuring that people doing the fumigation are not harmed and that all people around the fumigation area are also kept safe from harm.

The fumigation enclosure is, in the case of container fumigation, the container which must be properly sealed and be gas tight to hold the fumigation gas toxic concentration long enough for it to kill the targeted pests during a given period of time called the exposure period.

The technician is entirely responsible for conducting proper container fumigation. In case of failure or problems the technician will be held responsible. Therefore, before entrusting the container fumigation task to a fumigator be sure to deal only with a fumigating company that offers effective, safe and proper fumigation services that will cure all manner of pest infestations.

Another issue about getting a container fumigated is finding a company that will do the fumigation properly and also deliver quick results to help save management time and ensure compliance with applicable safety and health legislation. The technician must be able to carry out fumigation of containers at any time including during shipping.

The technician also treats both export as well as import containers and which does the fumigation through use of phosphine. This kind of fumigation is legal and conforms to the standards set out by the International Maritime Organization as well as the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code.

Remember also that preventing pest infestations in a container will help in removing avoidable costs and so it is a good idea to get container fumigation done for every container being handled by you or by a company in Wyoming West Virginia.
