This kit does not contain mattress and box spring covers; these items are sold separately.  All mattress and box springs should be covered with mattress covers that have zippers.  All clothing, curtains, bedding, stuffed animals, throw rugs, and other cloth items should be placed under high heat in a dryer for a minimum of 45-60 minutes.  Bedbug elimination requires multiple applications, and strict following of preparation instructions.

Thoroughly inspect your home prior to treating so you have a good idea of where the high harborage areas are located. Typically, during early stages of an infestation, activity is in areas where their food source (you and your family) spends significant time sedentary, such as beds, couches, recliners, desk/gaming chairs and other upholstered furniture. Not only do these areas provide plenty of places to safely hide away, they also prefer to live as close to where they feed as possible. However, as the population grows in both age and size, the likelihood of finding them in less common areas further away from feeding sites increases. The bedbug’s defense mechanism is hiding, and they are very good at it. So, not only are they very skilled at hiding, but they are also very small. In early stages of their life cycle, they are even iridescent, not taking on their reddish/brown color until after multiple feedings and life stages. Their eggs are roughly the size of 2 grains of salt. Needless to say, when going to battle with bedbugs, you will need to follow every protocol regarding preparation and product use as closely as possible to obtain optimal results. Also keep in mind, when treating chemically for bedbugs, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. It is a process, and it takes time and diligence to achieve complete eradication. Fight the urge to treat more often then recommended, or to add more Fenvastar then needed to the mix, because not only will it not work, but it will also likely backfire, resulting in chemical resistant bedbugs, and wasted money and time.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRODUCT USE:

1. Bedlam Plus Foaming Aerosol:

-Best for use in “hot spot” areas. When treating furniture, apply to the tuffs, folds, edges, sides, bottoms, and seams.

-Apply as a spot treatment to mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, curtains/window treatments near bed/furniture, upholstered furniture (couch, recliner, ottoman, desk chair), carpet edges, wall hangings.

-Don’t forget about your vehicle(s)! They will also need to be treated. Follow the same safety measures you would for the furniture in your home, and be sure to allow the product time to dry before re-entering your vehicle. Don’t forget to treat the trunk and under floor mats, etc. Be sure to clean the vehicle’s interior prior to treatment and remove any clutter to ensure product is reaching target surfaces. Bedlam and Fenvastar are the best products to use in the vehicle. If utilizing Cimexa or any other dust product, DO NOT put in the vents, as this could possibly cause it to become air born and create an inhalation hazard.

2. CimeXa:

-This is a “natural” product made from Silica dust. It is non-staining, odorless and has a very long-lasting residual.  Ideal for hard-to-reach areas and surfaces that are not suitable to get wet (electrical outlets, etc). Less is better, do not over apply. You should NOT be able to see piles of dust after application.  See label for complete application instructions.

-Empty contents into the provided dust applicator bulb. Apply to “dry areas” such as, electrical outlets, behind stoves, refrigerator, under sinks (plumbing voids), under/behind baseboards, under edging of rugs, and in cracks and crevices (includes windowsills, wood paneling, wood floors, and openings/voids where insects could be harboring). Ideal for use on/around items and areas where “wet application” is not ideal. Due to this product’s long-lasting residual, it does not need to be reapplied as often as the other products.

3. Crusader Dust Bulb:

-Simply remove rubber stopper, fill about halfway (no more than half) with CimeXa, insert stopper securely back in place, flip duster over so bulb and stopper are on bottom, and metal spout is at the top. Squeeze bulb to produce a cloud-like, fine puff of dust.

-*Tip: do not fill bulb more than halfway and a coin can be inserted into the bulb to break up any clumps when you shake it.

4. FenvaStar Concentrate:

-Mix according to label instructions, 2oz per gallon of water in most cases.

-Can be used as a spot treatment, in cracks and crevices, around perimeter of room, in vehicle, on furniture (per label).

-The goal is to dampen treatment areas, but not to the point of saturation or run off/drippage.

-Prior to application, clean floors / surfaces with vacuum/mop. Apply as a course, low pressure spray to harborage areas including crevices, base boards, loose plaster, behind bed frames, headboards, beneath beds, and under furniture.  DO NOT!! apply to furniture surfaces or mattresses where people will be laying or sitting (direct contact areas). You may treat seams around mattresses, box springs, and furniture.  You can treat non-contact areas of furniture such as the backs, sides, underneath (we recommend removing any “netting” under furniture to allow direct treatment/access to harborage areas).
