I doubt it, it should look like a semi clear colour. It could be the bottle itself that’s causing the discolouration?

it only changes color months later, what could be different about one plastic spray bottle compared to a another one

There are many, many kinds of plastic. A Walmart product would likely be the cheapest form of plastic devised by humans. Chances are it's a chemical reaction with the plastic, and a better grade of plastic wouldn't react.

By the way, a color change may be doing you a favor. It could be a warning of bad chemical things happening. Time for a different bottle.

There are plenty of spray bottles out there, I use one that’s designed for toxic chemicals such as lawn care.

Okay that is still the issue with that product .
There was a petition raised a couple of years ago to allow permethrin to be sold in Canada but I believe there was not enough signatures. Yes there is a down side with this product in liquid form ( before spraying ) is accidentally poured down the sink or in a lake, stream etc it is highly toxic to fish, reptiles and pet cats. That is probably why Cdn gov won’t allow it but I‘m guessing here the reason why.
Permethrin is sold in Canada for veterinary applications, namely flea and tick spray. I buy it a Canadian tire or tsc. Try zodiac fea and tick premise spray. It’s for carpets and baseboards, but you can spray your cuffs with it....

Permethrin has a few more downside issues than that as well. Most notably though it’s a well known human carcinogen. In concentrate form it should be handled in accordance with all label recommendations, especially PPE. Concentrated permethrin is not a joke....
