Product InformationAbout CrossFire

CrossFire is the result of years of development by MGK. It's the first liquid concentrate designed and labeled specifically to kill bed bugs. The result is a kast knockdown and kill with direct spraying, plus residual control. CrossFire targets all bed bug life stages and is specifically formulated to kill pyrethroid-resistant bed bug strains.

To use CrossFire in a bed bug treatment, mix 13 ounces in a gallon of water. Start with a half gallon of water in your spray tank, measure out and pour in the CrossFire concentrate, then add the other half to start agitating the mixture. Shake the tank to make sure it mixes thoroughly and you're ready to go.

Apply CrossFire to cracks and crevices, like on or around baseboards, floorboards, bed frames, headboards, furniture, door and window frames, closets, beneath floor coverings, and the edges of the carpet. CrossFire can also be applied directly to the seams and folds of your mattress and box spring. Spray until the fabric is damp but not wet, and wait for the bed to dry before you put your linens back on. Make sure that you read and follow the product label and MSDS for safe and effective usage.

Third time I ordered. No problem at all for a month after first supply. Second order, six weeks or more. Third order I am hoping to be free of problems. Regardless, no other product even comes close over long period of time. thank you.

After getting 2 estimates that just about sent me into a stroke, I started researching a more cost effective way to get rid of these. I have realized that the majority of the cost involves labor moving everything around. Purging your housing is the first thing. As hard as it was to have to throw away sentimental things, living with these things made it easier. I was do confused on what to use to do it myself. If you dig enough, you can find what the professionals use. That being said, I used a combination of Crossfire and Gentrol. I ordered 2 because I knew I was going to do a second application in a month. Well, I didn't take any chances, going with the theory that more is better.I ended up using a whole bottle upstairs and a whole bottle downstairs. I came back a couple hours later and dead bugs. Haven't see a one since but plan on doing a follow up in a month with just using 1 bottle for upstairs and down.

Thermal remediation or heat is the strategictool we use to exterminate all stages of Bed Bug life.Not only is heat a reliable and effective method for Bed Bug Extermination, but it is safe and all natural. Bed Bugs are becoming more and more resistant to chemicals, which leads to constant reapplications.

When using heat, you are effectively killing all Bed Bugs and eggs in the treated area. It only takes one treatment and your home can be safely occupied within a few hours of completion.

Bed Bugs cannot survive temperatures above 122F longer than 7 minutes. With special temperature sensors and heating equipment, we bring your home to 135F -145F, effectively killing every Bed Bug in all stages of life.

The heat is evenly distributed and blown around the roomallowingheat to be driven into the tiniest crevices. Temperatures around cracks, cold spotsand other possible points where the heat could escape are monitored throughout the process to ensure a consistent level of heat. Once 130Fis reached in all areas, the heat treatment will continue and temperature will be maintained for a minimum of 3 hours.

Heat treatment is an environmentally safe and non-toxic method for Bed Bug Extermination. You can rest assuredyour children wont be playing or sleeping next to any residual chemicals.

We preform Bed Bug Extermination all throughout Iowa, including Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo, Davenport, Des Moines, Burlington, Keokuk, Mt. Pleasant.

There is a lot of moving going on in the area I live. Many leases are turning over August 1st or September 1st. I have seen lots of furniture on the curb for free and there are several places that offer furniture swaps or sell the used furniture at bargain prices. There are also a number of people giving their used furniture away tofriends they know that could use it.

I had a caller yesterday concerned about her college-aged son getting a free couch from a friend. Her main concern was if bed bugs might be present. She did not want him to be affected by that or tointroduce bed bugs into his apartment. That is a legitimate concern for sure.

Bed bugs are a headache and can be difficult to get rid of on your own. The first thing you need to do is make sure there really are bed bugs present. The EPA and the University of Kentucky have great websites with pictures for identifying, preventing, and getting rid of bed bugs. It can be very difficult to get rid of bed bugs yourself.Most often it is necessary to contact a pest controlcompany to come and rid your infested areas of bed bugs.

Besides being concerned about used furniture you might pick up, traveling can alsobe a concern.The EPA hastips for travel when you are staying in a hotel room. Since bed bugs are most active at night when you are sleeping it is a good idea to be diligent when you check into your room. It takes only a few minutes and can prevent a lot of hassles for you.

Bed bugs were practically eradicated a few decades ago but infestations have increased dramatically in recent years due to changes in pest control practices, less effective insecticides due to bed bugs being more resistant and the general population not being as vigilant as we should be.

Bed bugs do not favor any socioeconomic class or level of cleanliness. They can be anywhere. I hope none of us ever has to personally deal with them but if you do or know of others who are dealing with them, I hope the research based sites mentioned above are helpful.

I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Home Economics Education. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and traveling.
