Rockwell Labs - CXID032 - Cimexa Dust - Insecticide - 4 oz

This thing works to keep out and kill so many types of bugs that it's mind blowing. Ants, cockroaches, bedbugs, lice, and tons of other insects!I put some of this stuff behind my sink and at the edges of my tub, as well as around anywhere the ants seemed to be entering or coming to often, and the stuff worked really well!I haven't tried yet, but I'd recommend making it into a paste as it suggests that you can do on the bottle's directions. This way the dust can't blow away or be kicked away as easily!Best part is that since it's literally just plastic dust, there's no reason for animals to take interest in it. There's no smell or anything that would attract them. Dogs just ignore it, and cats probably would too.I do want to specify that since it's a dust, it works best inside the house, since it might just blow away outside or (if a paste) dry back out then blow a way.Put it around any entrances and water sources inside your house to keep the ants out!If you use this to prevent new ant infestation and use Antguard (Antguard is an ant bait that's pricey but lasts a loooong time and helps a ton with stopping ants! It's the only thing that works for getting rid of them at my house)So, use Antguard (NOT pet safe tho, but it's a gel so you can just place it in discreet or high places) to get rid of any anthills, nests, or other spots of ants you see inside and outside. Then, use this silica dust around the house to keep ants from returning!Oh and don't get me started on silverfish. I HATE silverfish!!! They're so gross and freaky. We kept getting a few in the bathtub! But I learned about this silica dust and dusted it around the tub real well, as well as shook a bit of it down the drain... And there hasn't been any silverfish problems since!I'm telling ya, this stuff is great!It seems expensive, and when you pick it up it's super light, but keep in mind that it's just plastic dust! Of course it's light! Don't worry, you get PLENTY in there. I've barely made a dent in the amount so far! It goes a long way.

This is an extremely good deal for how effective it is at killing bed bugs. There is no pesticides in this dust what so ever (it's silica gel, the same exact stuff you find in a pack of beef jerky or when you buy a new pair of shoes, just finely ground up to a powder), so you don't have to worry about them gaining a resistance to it as this works by the particles attaching themselves to the bug as it walks over it and dehydrating the bug eventually killing it within 2 days or sooner if they aren't full adults. It won't kill the eggs, but if you manage to find some and dust on or around them then they will die once they hatch. It is also safe to put in open areas like in between couch cushions, all over a carpet (provided it's not in a commonly used walking path as you will just kick it up) and even your bare mattress, just be careful not to apply it where direct skin contact can happen as it will dry your skin but a little lotion will fix that. What some people don't understand is that THIS DOES NOT KILL ON CONTACT, but as soon as they walk over it they are as good as dead and with any luck they make it back to their nesting place and attach the dust to the others killing them as well. Do yourself a favor and buy a belows applicator and a fine bristle brush/cosmetic brush along with this as it will make it much easier to apply, otherwise you can kind of use the bottle it comes in to puff it out provided you don't tilt it too far down as you will spill a bunch of it. The best part is that this stuff is rated for 10 years if not disturbed, so you can lay this down and be protected long after you get rid of the infestation so another doesn't start. Heres hoping this gets rid of my problem and I'll update in the future.Edit: Almost a month in and I'm seeing results already. I'm finding dead bugs near areas where I treated with this powder and haven't seen a live one moving around in over a week now. I know that these bugs will go into a sort of hibernation state if they can't find a host to feed on, but I'm prepared to wait them out while staying behind a protecive barrier of this powder. This stuff works, just be smart in how you apply it so they can't take alternate routes to get to you like the walls and ceiling.Edit 2: It's been over a year since I've seen a live bug after using this. This stuff works.
