Temprid FX Insecticide will stay active for up to 90 days indoors and for about 30 days outdoors. It will kill insects that come in contact with a treated surface for that amount of time and will also have a slight transfer effect like a bait with one of the actives, Imidacloprid.
No, both Gentrol IGR and Temprid FX Insecticide are considered non-repellents even when mixing them together. If you were to add more than the labeled rate, then it would become a repellent.
Temprid FX Insecticide is a great product for all roaches including the American Roach (water bugs) and should do a good job towards helping you eliminate the infestation. However, if the infestation is severe, it should not be the sole product used. We would recommend using one of our Roach Control Kits for best results. You may want to look over our Roach Treatment Guide for more information.

Generally when spraying with Temprid FX Insecticide, pets should be removed from the room while spraying & may return once the product has dried. Since these are exotic birds though, we would recommend checking with your vet to make sure that it is okay that they are only removed from a room. Birds in general can be super sensitive to products and need to be completely out of treatment areas for several hours. Regarding the smell, the product does state it has a low odor but it should go away by the time the product dries. You may also open the windows to help dissipate the smell quicker

Temprid FX would be the best insecticide to use for active roach infestations due to the 2 active ingredients and dual modes of action it uses. Bifen IT would be suggested for general maintenance or preventative applications but not the recommended product if you have active roaches.
Active roach infestations require a combination of products and repeat treatments every 7-14 days to eradicate. Using a residual spray alone will not fully eradicate a roach colony. We recommend one of our Roach Control Kits to provide you with a residual insecticide, roach bait and insect growth regulator to help stop the reproduction. These kits provide enough products for the initial treatment as well as 2-3 follow up treatments.
