Crossfire® Bed Bug Concentrate FAQs
CrossFire® is a suspo-emulsion – in basic terms, a solid suspended in a liquid. The formula makes it possible to join multiple active ingredients with different physical-chemical characteristics.
CrossFire® contains three active ingredients:
- Clothiandin – gives it a long residual
- Metofluthrin – provides quick knockdown
- Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) – fights metabolic resistance
The toxicology studies for CrossFire® resulted in a LD50 for mammals greater than 5,000 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, therefore the EPA does not require a signal word.
The label states that CrossFire® has a four-week residual.
Best practices for dilution and agitation of CrossFire® concentrate:
- Shake CrossFire® concentrate thoroughly prior to mixing with water, 10 seconds is ideal
- Add 0.5 gallons of water into sprayer before adding concentrate
Note: During colder temperatures, the use of warm water, if available, will help the CrossFire® formulation go into suspension - Add 13 oz. of CrossFire® concentrate
Note: When measuring CrossFire® from the 130 oz. container, pour it in increments of 5 + 5 + 3 oz. to avoid spillage - Add water to achieve 1 finished gallon of product
- Shake the treatment equipment thoroughly before applying
- During the course of the application, shake the treatment equipment every 15 to 20 minutes to ensure the product stays in suspension
