BED BUG, LICE AND DUST MITE SPRAY
Odorless permethrin aerosol that kills bed bugs, lice, dust mites, fleas and ticks on mattresses, furniture and clothing.
What it's for
This is a residual permethrin spray for inanimate objects. You shake it, spray from the right distance for the surface, let it dry, and the treatment keeps working: 2 weeks on treated clothing, up to 4 weeks for general pest control, and up to 8 weeks against house dust mites. It is odorless, which matters in occupied buildings, and the label states it will not stain surfaces or fabrics where water alone causes no damage. It is not a personal treatment — the label is explicit that it is not for use on humans, and if lice are on a person you use a product registered for direct application to people. This can treats the mattress, the furniture, the car seat and the coat, the things that cannot go through a washing machine.

How to use it
1. Shake well before using.
2. Test on an inconspicuous area first for discoloration or bleeding before treating the whole article.
3. Spray distance: 12 to 15 inches for general surfaces; 8 to 10 inches for fabrics such as clothing, furniture and mattresses.
4. Bed bugs: spray mattresses, particularly around tufts and seams. Take beds apart and spray into all joints. Treat baseboards, moldings and floors. Allow to dry, then cover the mattress with a cover and sheet — do not use the mattress without a cover. Retreat if infestation recurs, but not more than once every 2 weeks.
5. Lice and louse eggs: spray an inconspicuous area first to test for staining or discoloration, then spray from 8 to 10 inches, 3 seconds per square foot. Apply only to garments and bedding that cannot be laundered or dry cleaned. Do not use on sheets or pillowcases.
6. House dust mites: treat carpets, curtains, upholstery and mattresses from 8 to 10 inches. Allow to dry thoroughly before use, then vacuum the entire area. People with allergies should wear a dust mask and use a HEPA-filter vacuum, or have someone else do the vacuuming. One treatment lasts up to 8 weeks.
7. Clothing: hold the can upright about 6 to 8 inches from the fabric and spray with a slow sweeping motion to lightly moisten the surface. Continue over the entire outfit until a total treatment time of 60 seconds has elapsed. One clothing treatment lasts 2 weeks.
8. Mosquitoes and ticks: apply as directed, and use in conjunction with an insect repellent registered for direct application to skin. Wear a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt and long pants tucked into socks, and inspect the body daily for ticks.
9. Fleas and ticks on premises: remove and thoroughly clean or destroy pet bedding. Spray the pet's sleeping quarters, bed, entire floor and floor covering, paying attention to cracks and crevices, around baseboards, and window and door frames. Infested upholstered furniture may be treated after testing.
10. Space spray: do not enter until vapors have dispersed and the area is thoroughly ventilated. Surface spray: do not allow children or pets to enter until the spray has dried.
Not a contact-time product. It is a residual insecticide, so what matters is drying and duration: let sprayed surfaces dry fully before use or re-occupancy; clothing and fabric treatment lasts 2 weeks and holds through several machine washings; general pest control lasts up to 4 weeks; house dust mite control lasts up to 8 weeks; and do not retreat more than once every 2 weeks.

Questions directors ask
It is registered with a full pest list, so yes, as a registered pesticide. The catch is the paperwork: this is a Claire product, so the SDS in your binder has to be Claire's, not Share's. Keep the can label and Claire's SDS on file, and note the establishment numbers (33595-MO-2, -MO-3, -MO-4) that appear after the can code.
