When it comes to applying this product, what sort of protective gear should I be wearing? I'm going to be using it for brown recluse spiders, and as I read through some of the Q&As, I think it was mentioned that this is only supposed to be applied to baseboards. Is that correct? Can it be applied to the carpet underneath my bed? Will it stain the carpet it comes into contact with?
Per the Talstar P label, when applying mixed solution, the applicator needs to wear shirt, shoes, socks, pants and waterproof gloves. If applying in a non-ventilated area, applicator will need to wear a resperatory mask. You may look at our Basic Safety Kit for the necessary protective gear.
You can apply as a crack and crevice treatment and to baseboards as mentioned. It is also approved for "spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas." It would not be suspected to stain carpet, however, you can always perform a spot test in an inconspicuous area if needed.
