Talstar(brand Name) is also a pyrethroid.
Mortien sprays, coopex and most household pesticides now a days contains pyrethrins, synthetic form of pyrethrum(derived from mum flowers)

as you mentioned that they returned after a week, that is because pyrethrins dissolve sooner thereby, they are not very harmful to environment
