My father has been using DE against bedbugs and after months of vacuuming, taking bed apart, etc. still finds a 0-3 bedbugs during his near daily inspections of beds and couches. He recently has put mattress covers on and interceptors under furniture at my insistence. Meanwhile, my mom has been suffering from a terrible rash which after 3 visits, the dermatologist thinks due to bedbugs. I have read CimeXa is more effective than DE but household dust decreases its effectiveness. Will DE do likewise?
There really would be no valid reason for mixing Cimexa with Diatomaceous Earth as they are both dusts that would be used in the same areas and will kill the same way. If you do choose to apply them both, you should apply each product according to the instructions on each product label. Be aware that applying too much dust can have a negative effect. If you can see the dust, so can insects and they may avoid the treated area.
