FAQs
Is Xterminate Bed Bug Insect Killer safe for use around pets and children?
Yes, the formula is pesticide-free and biocide-free, making it a safer choice for homes with pets and children when used as directed. However, as with any product, avoid direct contact and ingestion. Ensure pets and children do not come into contact with treated areas until they are completely dry.
How does Xterminate work without pesticides?
It uses a blend of non-toxic surfactants and penetrants that disrupt the insects' natural protective layers, leading to dehydration and immobilization upon direct contact.
Do I need to leave the area after spraying?
No, the product is designed to be safe for use in occupied spaces as it contains no harsh chemicals or strong fumes. You do not need to vacate the area during or after application.
Will this product kill insects that are not directly sprayed?
Xterminate works on direct contact. It will not provide residual control, meaning insects that do not come into contact with the spray will not be affected. For complete eradication, ensure all visible pests and eggs are thoroughly coated.
Can I use this on my mattress?
Yes, you can use it on your mattress, but ensure you set the spray to mist and apply it directly to visible pests and eggs. Allow the mattress to dry completely before use. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about fabric reactions.
What is the coverage rate or spray duration?
Each trigger spray delivers approximately 1ml of product. The effectiveness depends on thoroughly coating the target pest or insect cluster.
How long does it take for insects to be immobilized?
Immobilization typically occurs rapidly after direct and thorough contact with the spray.
Troubleshooting
Product is not spraying effectively.
Ensure the trigger is securely attached and the mist setting is engaged. Check if the spray nozzle is blocked; if so, rinse it with warm water.
Insects are not being immobilized after spraying.
Ensure the pest was fully coated with the spray. Direct and thorough contact is crucial for the product to work. For larger insects, multiple passes might be necessary.
Unusual smell or residue noticed after application.
This product is designed to be odorless, stain-free, and residue-free. If a smell or residue is present, it may be from another source or an unusual reaction with the surface. Test in a small, hidden area first. Ensure the product is stored correctly and not past its effective date.
