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 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.
While CB-80 Aerosol is a great contact/flushing insecticide for a contact kill of roaches, Insecticide aerosols are really meant for indoor crack and crevice applications along baseboards, around windows, doors, under sinks, cabinets, etc. They typicallly will not reach further than a couple feet.
We do offer professional roach control products in our Roach Control Kit A that offer residual control, growth regulation and a professional roach bait. You would use the aerosol first then clean and dry the area and apply the kit products. Please take a few moments to review our articles and videos on How to Get Rid of Roaches with a successful program.

CB-80 is not labeld to be used on clothing. It is important to note that CB-80 does not offer residual control, so bedbugs need to be sprayed directly for best results. We would recommend washing your clothing and putting them in the dryer on high heat for one hour, as this will kill any live bed bugs. 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.
