Pyrid Insecticide Aerosol, manufactured by Solutions Pest and Lawn, is a ready-to-use spray insecticide that begins killing insects like ants, fruit flies, and spiders on contact. This aerosol contains 0.5% pyrethrins and 4% piperonal butoxide (or PBO), which is an effective synergist, making it safer than most other pesticide aerosol chemicals.

This insecticide interferes with the labeled insects' central nervous system, resulting in an immediate knockdown and killing of the pest within minutes. The PBO in Pyrid is a potent synergist that increases the insecticide's efficacy for an easy-to-use and practical space and flushing spray.

Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, Pyrid Aerosol eliminates pests such as bed bugs, roaches, and spiders. With an included applicator straw, this spray easily reaches pests in cracks and crevices. This spray not only works for controlling pests like ants, but this spray also kills other pests like wasps from a safe distance of approximately 18 inches. 

Pyrid provides two application methods of pest control: flushing hard-to-reach pests in out-of-reach areas or as a direct spray contact to quickly knock down potentially harmful pests like fruit flies in and around your home. Safe enough to use in food-prepping areas and strong enough to kill on contact, Pyrid Aerosol is the best aerosol product for the best price.

Tools Needed

Pyrid comes ready to use and requires no additional tools. This product includes an actuator for space spray or direct spray applications and an actuator with a straw application for crack and crevice treatments.

You will also need appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eyewear, and a respirator or face mask.

This is not for use in outdoor residential misting systems or metered release devices.

How to Use

• Step 1: Shake the Pyrid Insecticide Aerosol can before application, then position the can appropriately for your desired application and apply. Ensure the white actuator is affixed to the can for space sprays and direct applications. Replace the white actuator with the red straw applicator for crack and crevice treatments and attach the application straw to the nozzle. When applying indoors, make sure all doors and windows are closed. Labeled application rates differ depending on how you use the product and the size of the space you are treating. For space sprays, you will apply Pyrid at 1 to 3 seconds per 1,000 cubic feet for flying insects or 20 seconds per 1,000 cubic feet for crawling insects. You can find the cubic footage of your treatment space by multiplying the space's length, width, and height. Do not apply more than one time per day.
• Step 2: For direct spraying, apply in short bursts 18 to 24 inches from the target surface, not exceeding 10 seconds of spray per room or 10 seconds per 100 cubic feet in commercial areas.
• Step 3: For crack and crevice treatments, apply at a rate of 3 feet per second for light infestations or 1 foot per second for heavy infestations.
• Step 4: Do not re-enter or allow others to enter the treated areas until it is dry and the vapors have dispersed.

Where to Use

Pyrid is labeled for use in apartments, campgrounds, food storage areas, homes, hospitals, hotels, motels, nursing homes, resorts, restaurants, other food-handling establishments, schools, supermarkets, transportation equipment (buses, boats, ships, trains, trucks, and aircraft—cargo areas only), utilities, warehouses, and other commercial and industrial buildings.

Do not allow the spray to contact plastic, painted or varnished surfaces, or directly into electronic equipment such as radios, TVs, computers, etc. Do not use it in aircraft cabins. This product may also not be used in hospital rooms while occupied, in any rooms occupied by the elderly or infirm, or in classrooms when in use.

Do not use in patient rooms in hospitals and nursing homes to treat bed bugs.

When to Use

Pyrid Insecticide Aerosol can be used whenever flying or crawling pest activity is observed. It is especially useful in summer when pests are active or during fall and winter when pests invade indoors for food and shelter. When applying outdoors, spraying when wind speeds are lower than 5 miles per hour is best.

The product should only be used when temperatures exceed 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Safety Information

Pyrid Aerosol is safe for children and pets when applied per the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling or using this product.

Remove pets and birds, cover fish aquariums, and turn off the air pump motor before application. Remove patients from hospital rooms before treatment and thoroughly ventilate after application. Do not return patients to the room until after ventilation.

Do not allow people or pets into treatment areas until the product has dried completely.

Special Considerations

Pyrid can be used as often as needed to kill pests on contact, but this product does not leave any lasting residual. When spraying Pyrid Insecticide Aerosol indoors, turn off any air conditioners and fans, and make sure all doors and windows in the room are closed before application. This will prevent air currents from altering the intended spray area, ensuring your treatment stays on target.

This aerosol insecticide is an effective product that will help flush pests out of cracks and crevices or knock down active pests immediately. Most active infestations cannot be controlled through the use of one product. Typically, you will also need to use Pyrid Insecticide Aerosol with residual insecticides and bait or dust to get complete control.

When used in food handling and processing facilities, space spray applications should not be made while the facility operates. Before space spray applications, cover or remove food and cover food processing surfaces in the treatment area, or clean after and before use.
