Yes, Permethrin SFR 36.8% is a non-selective insecticide, so it would kill roaches of any species or size that come into contact with the direct spray or residual. If you are only seeing roaches occasionally and need a residual spray to create a barrier, then you have many options. Temprid SC is water-based and contains two active ingredients for longer control. It also does not have the odor that sprays with permethrin will have. If you are seeing different life stages and/or seeing roaches consistently, then we would recommend our Roach Control Kit Rotation A. Please see our Roach Treament Guide for more information and tips.

A small amount of product could be washed, however, something like full strength product would persist longer, and we would not recommend wearing clothing that had significant chemical residue on it.
