- “ChinChex is a game-changer. It’s highly effective against bed bugs, even the resistant strains,”
DDR. ALVARO ROMERO
Assistant Professor of Urban Entomology at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. He has studied bed bugs since their resurgence, particularly insecticide resistance, the impact of insecticides on bedbug behavior and development of integrated management tactics for this pest. Currently his bed bug research is focused on studying the mechanisms of insecticide resistance as well as the use of synergists to enhance the effectiveness of insecticides. Highlights of the Report:
- “100% mortality was observed at 9h. Post exposure”
- “Bed bugs do not avoid ChinCheX”
- “Bed bugs can transfer ChinCheX to other members of the aggregation”
DR. richard a.cooper & dr. stephen l.doggett
Chinchex has been highlighted in a recent article on the global bed bug resurgence over the past 25 years. The study, conducted by some of the world’s leading entomologists, confirms that Chinchex is the most effective solution against even the most resistant bed bug strains!
Highlights of the Report:
- “Unlike ineffective outdated treatment methods such as diatom earth (DE), ChinCheX is scientifically proven to work”
- “No other Silicon product has been tested so widely and has generally proven effective”
DDR. RICHARD NAYLOR & ZACHARY NAYLOR
A key INDEPENDENT study by Dr. Richard Naylor and Zachary Naylor proves ChinCheX® Desiccant remains highly effective at killing bed bugs — even in damp, high-humidity environments where traditional diatomaceous earth (DE) slows down or fails.
Unlike DE, which can take over 4 months to achieve full control at 65%+ humidity, ChinCheX® delivers mortality in just 1–2 months — up to 3x faster.
- “Fast-acting at all humidity levels – from dry (37% RH) to very humid (97% RH)”
- “Superior to standard DE – achieves total kill in a fraction of the time, especially in moist conditions”
- Non-repellent – bed bugs walk freely over treated surfaces, ensuring lethal exposure
- Ideal for real-world use – perfect for hotels, hospitals, and homes where steam, showers, or sprays increase moisture

DDR. RICHARD NAYLOR & ZDR.RICHARD NAYLOR & ALEXIA NAYLOR
Leading entomological researcherers and authorities on urban pest management. Their work focuses on practical, sustainable solutions for bed bug control in residential and commercial environments.
Highlights of the Report:
- “Desiccant dusts have a long residual action and are not listed by IRAC — meaning no risk of resistance development”
- “BED BUGS ARE REPELLED BY DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (DED), RENDERING IT LESS EFFECTIVE”
- “Recently, a silica dust, marketed under the name of ChinCheX, has emerged as a more effective alternative”
- “Silica-based dusts like ChinCheX offer faster kill rates and are not avoided by bed bugs”

EFFICACY REPORTS FOR BEDBUGS
(CHINCHEX DESICCANT SPRAY)
DR. desen wang
A new independant study on ChinCheX Dessicant Spray by Dr.Desen Wan (South China Agricultural Association) shows 100% efficacy of ChinCheX against Tropical Bed Bugs. Putting ChinChex together with its long lasting residuality as the best products for bedbug combat in the world.
According to the study:
- “ChinChex aerosol spray can be used to effectively kill tropical bed bugs.”
- “Surprisingly, in the lethal harborage bioassay, all bed bugs died on the 2nd day after treatment. “

DR.STEPHEN L. DOGGETT & DR.KAI DANG
In a groundbreaking independent study conducted by the Department of Medical Entomology at NSW Health Pathology, ChinCheX® Desiccant Spray has been scientifically proven to deliver rapid, reliable, and complete kill of even the most insecticide-resistant bed bug populations.
This rigorous laboratory testing—performed under OECD guidelines—evaluated ChinCheX Desiccant Spray against both insecticide-susceptible (Monheim) and highly resistant (Parramatta) strains of Cimex lectularius , including adults and nymphs. The results? 100% mortality with unmatched speed.
Highlights of the Report:
- Kills 92–100% of bed bugs within just 2 hours when sprayed directly — even on modern, pyrethroid-resistant strains
- Achieves 100% kill within 8 days via residual exposure on tiles, fabric, and filter paper — no survivors
- Highly effective after only 4 hours of contact — real-world relevance for mobile pests
- No avoidance behavior observed — unlike diatomaceous earth (DE), bed bugs do not repel or avoid treated surfaces
- Works equally well on all life stages , including hard-to-kill nymphs
- Outperforms traditional desiccants : Kills significantly faster than DE, which can take 15+ days
