I've been using it to knock down the flies on my porch and it's pretty effective. I've also fogged my indoor room and garage with surface spray dosage as well as my intake filter.

After a spray and a soak I went through and wiped everything down with bleach water. I'll be transplanting my indoor into 15g pots and moving into the flower room soon.

True it kills shit dead but most likely it's not 100 percent organic . There is usually one synthetic chemical in most insecticides that contain pyrethrin. That being piperonyl butoxide.
A couple of 100 percent organic pyrethrin based products is pyganic and judo. They are 100 percent organic but pricey also, like 300-400 dollars a liter for the 5 percent pyrethrin.

Whoa...5%?

I use 1% concentrate, and when the label says 1 teaspoon/gallon water...they mean it!.
