As long as you are not spraying directly into the vents of an air conditioner Temprid FX Insecticide could be used as directed on the product label. You would only direct treatments to cracks and crevices around the rooms, along baseboards, under furniture etc. We would recommend turning the unit off while doing the application until dry, once dry it would not become airborn to effect breathing. We have a great guide here that explains where to and how to treat for bed bugs with products.

Yes, Temprid FX Insecticide is a residual product. You will want to treat every 7-10 days until there is no activity of bed bugs for 30 days straight. Please look over the product label before making your application. Also, we would recommend incorporating a product like CimeXa into your treatment plan for hard to reach areas where you cannot spray a liquid insectide, like behind the face plates of electrical outlets for example. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Guide for more information on implementing a successful treatment plan.
There is no valid reason to mix Temprid FX and Bifenthrin products together. Talstar P is a synthetic pyrethroid and Temprid FX already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.
