PT Phantom II Pressurized Insecticide should not be applied with a paintbrush. It should be applied from the can to cracks and crevices as directed on the label only.
We would recommend that you vacuum and steam the inside of the vehicle first. You can then apply a product to the seats and carpet called Steri-Fab. This will kill insects on contact and while wet. When the treated areas have completely dried, apply Cy-Kick Aerosol to the cracks and crevices.
Yes, Phantom Aerosol can be applied to those areas, allow time for product to dry before re-entering area. Apply as a spot and/or crack and crevice and/or void treatment where pests harbor, nest, trail, run, and/or breed or hide. Treat into voids or to surfaces beneath cabinets, furniture, spaces between equipment, expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, floor drains (to sewers), lockers, and water pipes. Please read label for further instruction.
Phantom II Aerosol Spray is not listed as a restricted product to MA and the wording on the label is not law or enforceable. Some product labels do say for licensed pest professional use only but that is just the manufacturers wording and it is not law. The manufacturer would like to limit the purchase of the product to Pro's only because of course they will make more money on the products if they can only be sold to a select few. Each individual state gets to decide if a product can be used in the state and if so if they will restrict its use to professionals. On our website you will see several products that say "cannot be sold to NY, CT" or other states and those are states that have restricted the use of the product by individuals. Other states do allow you to sue the product, but only on your own property. You cannot use the products to treat other peoples property for profit unless you are licensed. Some states do have certain restrictions for what they allow homeowners to do though and you would need to check with your local restrictions as well as what is in your lease in terms of pest control you are responsible for or able to do being that you are not the owner.
PT Phantom II Pressurized Insecticide is labeled to be used on stink bugs however would not be a contact or repel them from windows, doors, etc. This is a non repellent that works slowly and goes undetected by insects as they land on the treated area. For Stink Bugs, you will apply to cracks and crevices where these insects may harbor, congregate or hibernate and around window and door frames.
For a quick knockdown aerosol, Precor 2625 Premise Spray would be a great choice. Repeat as necessary but not more than once a week.

We would recommend using Phantom Aerosol spray to help eliminate roaches around the dishwasher. Phantom Aerosol is not an on-contact kill. The reason we recommend this product treat roaches in these situations is because the roaches travel through the treated areas and then transfer the active ingredient into the voids to the other roaches, creating a domino killing effect.
