Burning a small brown paper bag will remove the smell of a dead thing. Not sure it will work on insecticides, but I’d sure try it.

Make up a bucket with one part household bleach in 9 parts water. Spray or mop it on the spill. It will destroy the pesticide molecules. Clean it up, rinse, you should be good to go. Ventilate the area thoroughly while doing the clean up and for a while afterward.

I have used this with success. Discovered it because I bought a trailer in which a guy died in August with the power off for two weeks. They spritzed this around and didn’t even pull out the rug. Very effective.

Baking soda will help. Those insecticides are oil based so there is that element to consider.

Bleach or peroxide.

Or call some of these guys if you don't want to risk exposing your family and yourself to it, and want to get it done fast, and get it done right... https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&channel=cus&q=companies+that+specialize+in+toxic+cleanups.

I'm facing a similar situation in a storage unit I rented, and it's worrying the crap out of me.

He gives few details but you missed the one he did give.

I know it is a bit extreme but you could burn the house down. Just sayin.

Vinegar Straight. Mix baking soda with it as well.

If the problem is fleas in the grass or any other insect with segmented exoskeletons, dust the area lightly with diatomaceous earth. It is not instant but it is very long lasting and is not poisonous and has no smell and it’s cheap. It can be used indoors and out. I just used it to eliminate an extensive ant bed. I used it previously to eliminate the annual siege of fleas in the yard. There has been no recurrence for 14 years and the roaches are much reduced. Can’t eliminate them because they fly in from elsewhere.

Muriatic acid.

On the bedroom carpet-already pulled it up with the underlay and scrubbed with borax

I'm interested in how you end up getting this smell out and the chemicals up off your floor so please post a follow up if you don't mind.

One never knows when this sort of this will happen! Very reason we bought a plant based flea spray for our yard this year...too man birds and bunnies in the yard we were using to eat the fallen peaches. We had to spray the yard twice (one month apart) but the fleas are no more, at least that we have seen for over a month. If we could get our neighbors to help by BATHING THEIR DOGS AND FLEA TREATING THEM.....sorry, lost it there for a minute but you get the issue I am sure

Good. I do find that the manufacturer has always got people ready to answer questions.

[Deaf Smith]

How much time do you have left before wife comes home?

[Hot Tabasco]

Now I need to get rid of the nasty smell

Dog poop, you won't even notice the insecticide any more........

[JimRed]

Check the manufacturer’s website for cleaning/disposal instructions.

[Wonder Warthog]
