Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate
Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate
Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate is a fast-acting liquid insecticide that kills bed bugs within minutes and continues working for up to 30 days after application. It has a low odor and is non-staining.
Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate, manufactured by MGK, is an effective liquid insecticide that controls bed bugs and those resistant to pyrethroids on mattresses in less than 5 minutes.
It contains two active ingredients (metofluthrin and clothianidin) that make it so effective; it kills all bed bug life stages by contact and prevents bed bug eggs from hatching.
Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate is also safe to apply with minimal toxicity compared to other bed bug insecticides.
Tools Needed
This insecticide must be diluted in a handheld pump or backpack sprayer before use.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate you need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, you will need to measure the treatment areas' length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length x width = square footage). Apply 13 fl. oz. of Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate diluted in a gallon of water to treat up to 1,000 square feet. For example, if you find that the square footage of the treatment area is 2,000 square feet, you will need to mix 26 fluid ounces of product in two gallons of water.
- Step 2: Fill your spray tank with half a gallon of water, add the appropriate amount of product, and then fill with the other half gallon of water. Shake the tank to ensure the product is well-mixed, and you are good to go.
- Step 3: Apply this solution as a coarse wet spray to cracks, crevices, door frames, baseboards, floor coverings, and carpet edges. We recommend using a fan spray pattern for even coverage. You can also apply to the seams and folds of your mattress and box spring. For this, spray at low pressure until the fabric is damp but not wet, and wait for the product to dry before reapplying bed sheets.
Where to Use
Crossfire Bed Bug Concentrate can be used anywhere a bed bug invasion occurs, whether in a residential or commercial location such as a hotel, theater, or other place where many people gather.
Focus your sprayings on your bedding, around carpeting, window and door frames, on and around baseboards, floorboards, millwork, bed frames, headboards, wall hangings, furniture, door and window frames, walls, closets, window treatments, beneath floor coverings, and other non-washable items that may come in contact with bed bugs, such as luggage, shoes, and backpacks.
When to Use
Use this product when you want to eliminate a bed bug infestation or to prevent an infestation from happening.

Q:One label says safe around children and pets and made from natural ingredients. Another says do not use around children and pets and is cacogenic. Which is it? Can I spray my sheets and pillow cases without getting cancer?9/3/24A:The SDS and label do not mention anything about being natural or cacogenic; it is formulated with 3 chemical ingredients. As long as you are using Crossfire according to the product label instructions, it is safe. Do not spray the sheets and pillow cases since they are not labeled for treatment. Instead, carefully remove them and other bedding materials from the bed into a disposable trash bag that can be tied off tightly, then wash and dry them at a high temperature to help control bed bugs. Treat the mattress itself with this product.

Q:Can you use this product in Actisol machine??4/29/22A:I have not used Crossfire in an Actisol Machine but can't imagine that you couldn't. It's been just as easy to use it in a pump sprayer (paying close attention to the mix ratio) for over a year now and our problems have been eliminated!

Q:I bought 13 oz of crossfire is it correct that one 13oz bottle is for only one gallon mixture?3/15/21A:Yes. 13 oz of Crossfire concentrate plus 115 oz of water makes 128 oz (1 Gallon) of final mixed product. It is NOT add 13 oz of Crossfire to a gallon of water! You should start with half your water in the sprayer. Add the entire bottle of Crossfire. Fill the empty bottle half full with water, cover and shake. Pour the resulting solution into your sprayer. Do this 3 times so you will have tripple rinsed the container. Add the rest of the water to the sprayer and agitate well. This way you don't have eny leftovers to dispose of, and you will have tripple rinsed the Crossfire container making it ready for disposal, after you have punched some holes in it so no one will be tempted to re-use it
