CB-80 Aerosol is a contact kill that can be used when seeing flies in the crawl space area. For a residual spray, OneGuard can be applied at 1.0 to 2.0 fl oz per gallon and broadcasted on the surface but also around the exterior perimeter foundation.
CB-80 Aerosol should not stain any surface its applied to, however we nor the manufacturer can test for all surface applications. We would recommend testing in a small inconspicuous area first before treating in a wider area where you have the pests emerging. Unless you are spot treating only behind the siding, we would recommend using a concentrated product you mix with water and spray in that area instead since aerosols are not going to hold up to the outdoor elements as well and are used more for spot treatments to flush insects out as a contact kill. Cyzmic CS would be a great option for residual insect control outdoors.
CB-80 Aerosol is a flushing & contact insecticide used for a variety of insects. If spraying as direct spray to kill insects when seen, you would not need to leave the room for any extended amount of time. If used as a flushing application along baseboards, cracks and crevices you would want to leave the room until the application has dried and the room has been ventilated. Please refer to the product label for the specific insects you are targeting and the recommended time frame for re-entry if applicable.
CB-80 Aerosol does list small flying moths as a target insect. The product label states that when treating inside of closets, to remove all clothing and other articles before applying the product.

CB-80 is a great option for knock down of flying insects. Without knowing what species of pest you are treating for or dealing with specifically, its hard to give accurate treatment information. We'd recommend looking at our Drain Fly Guide and our Fruit Fly Guide to determine which pest you are treating for, and to help locate and narrow down the primary areas/drains they are coming from in the home. The guides also go over step by step instructions for eliminating each pest, and have kits and product recommendations provided.

We would also recommend that you put the suitcase in a sealed bag with a Nuvan Pro Strip. The bag would need to stay sealed for 3 -4 weeks for best results.

The best way to get rid of an Indian Meal Moth infestation is to clean out all of your cabinets and discard any infested items. Seal all goods that could potentially become infested in air tight plastic containers. While all items are out of the cabinets you should perform a deep clean.

Using a spray product in the cracks and crevices will help eliminate the moth larva that has crawled away from the food products to pupate.
