Is Telstar P safe to spray inside, while people are inside?

Just spraying around doors, floorboards, and windows.

The first question is why? Intergrated pest management is the new thing. Only treat what is necessary and minimize chemicals applied.

most pest control companies spray inside. Figured it was how you did it.

Pretty sure it is.

Why oh why can’t people read and follow the instructions.
By the way I have no idea if it is safe or not but I would certainly not take the word of some random anonymous strangers on what was safe vs reading the actual instructions.

That’s from the label. I’ve seen the pest control guy spray the office monthly for years while we are all inside. Never had an issue.
If you have a kid the may go lick it up, maybe don’t spray while the kid is home.

The label says it can, on all this stuff the label is considered the law

Don’t spray inside if you don’t have to. You can do talstar granules around the perimeter of the foundation. Use liquid talstar and spray around doors, windows, eaves, and entry points. It’s best to keep the bugs out instead of letting them get in and then treating. You can put glue traps under your sinks to see what insects you might have moving around.

Bifenthrin 7.9%, the ingredient in Telstar P, is a relative safe chemical for use around the home. It has a long residual killing time, 30 days outdoors and up to 90 days indoors.
Mix 1 ounce/2 TBSP per gallon of water. DO NOT use more than 1 ounce per gallon of water.
Just don't spray near any fish/aquarium. It's toxic to fish.

There is an outdoor variety that is oil-based, and a indoor that is water-based. Don't use the oil-base indoor as it will stain carpet and wood.

Suspend SC is better for indoor insect control, also it’s what 99% of pest control companies use. Active ingredient is Deltamethrin, very similar to bifenthrin
