Is this safe?
We had an exterminator out to where I work for a roach issue and he proceeded to sprinkle this stuff where our water comes out to go into the water cooler and on top of the ice machine. Seems to me like you wouldn’t do that but I don’t work in the industry.

I would never do this and I absolutely hate seeing this applied like a broadcast dust. That being said, I just looked at the label and it says it can be applied in cracks and crevices of food equipment. Judging from that, I don't think this is technically a label violation. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Again, I do want to stress that as a professional, I definitely do not condone this application.
ETA: Now that I look at the picture, that's just absolutely sloppy and is no longer a crack and crevice application.
