I had a professional apply temprid sc for bed bugs. He was unclear on after application cleanup. How long should I wait before cleaning room after application; dusting, vacuuming, washing hardwood floor? Left residue on furniture, floors, etc.? Can I dust off? Is it still active after dried? Thanks for any assistance you can give me.
The Temprid should dry clear on any surface it is sprayed on, however every hardwood floor and furniture surface can be a little different. Once the product has dried it is still on the surface, but any attempt to clean the surface other than with a vaccuum or broom will remove the product. Any washing of the hardwoods and furniture would pull the product up. The Temprid is normally sprayed around baseboards but not across open floors as these are not areas that bed bugs hide. If some is on the hardwood itself you can wipe this up but do not clean the baseboards or too close to its edges.
