Hey Jess,
You can use DeltaPRO 25SC Residual Insecticide on grass, however, when spray plant matter, and when applied to spots that will have direct sunlight, the residual effect of this product would be very short, as plants will absorb most of the active ingredient and disperse it through the soil. UV light can cause the active ingredient to degrade, and other factors such as the weather can reduce the residual timeframe on these surfaces.

Hey Vince,
The residual effect of DeltaPRO 25SC Residual Insecticide can vary between 3-6 months. The surface that you spray on can determine how long a product like this one would be active. For example, if treating a non-porous surface, such as weatherboards or painted surfaces, you would be looking at 6 months of protection.
For a Porous surface such as concrete or bricks, like most other residual pesticides, you will have a bit of a shorter life span on these surfaces, roughly about 3 months. This can be due to the pH content of the materials interacting with the active ingredients of DeltaPRO, or the porous nature of the material soaking a bit of the treatment in.
If treating Grass and Plants, typically about 4 weeks, as plants will absorb most of the active ingredient and disperse it through the soil. Weather can also play a part in the longevity, if it's exposed to the elements such as sun, rain or wind, these variables can factor in.

Regarding Sundew DeltaPRO 25 SC 200 mL - The active ingredient in this product is deltamethrin 25 SC and is considered relatively human and pet friendly when applied as directed on the label. Deltamethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid (SP) and is readily metabolised by warm blooded animals. Having said that, it should be applied carefully so as to not be treated where pets rest, lie down, eat, clean themselves etc. Particular care should be taken if the home owner has felines (cats) as cats do not have the same body organs that can metabolise SP’s as other warm blooded animals have. Depending on the pest problem (i.e. what pest the home owner has predominately) a better choice of product might be Sundew EnsnarePRO 50 SC which has a good pet safety profile.
