Customer Reviews for Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide

I am a bee keeper and was looking for a way to get rid of the yellow jackets that stalk my backyard hives. I did not order this because tucked in some reviews was the fact that people used this to kill honey bees! Why you would do that I don't know, very sad, but I thought it was important to point this out loudly. If you want to protect pollinators find another way to kill wasp. Mason bees and honey bees are our friends!!

Numerous applications into gap in large rocks where wasps came from but no luck. Got some dielectric spray which did the trick in a day.

I had bees entering between the roof and soffit. I used the Tempo 1% Dust product applying it with the B&G Bulb Duster 1150. I applied a good dusting by inserting the appliance it into the opening were the bees were getting in. Did this 2x a day for 2 days; but, had no luck getting rid of the bees. Basically, after I dusted, the bees would swarm out, and in about 15 minutes, they were back to their routine; flying back in-and-out of the opening.

Didn't work for the yellow jacket problem I have. I spent almost or close to $50 and now I had to order something else.

Arrived promptly however it is not killing the bees. AT ALL. I have used the powder three separate occasions, I think the bees are eating it for lunch.

I've been using Tempo Dust for a couple months or so after reading a study on how this knocked down bed bugs within 24 hours of contact. This was applied to the perimeter of the rooms, base of furniture, legs and frame of beds. There has been some improvement but the bites continue. On the other hand, there was a problem with ants and Tempo has quickly killed off these and all insect pests. For bed bugs I can only give it a 3 but all others a 5.

I've purchased other chemicals here, but this one to kill a yellow jacket infestation under our aluminum siding of our garage, it didn't seem to work like I had thought. Although, I had thought I got to their nest or harboring area maybe the dusting didn't hit where it needed to. Jury is out on this one for me.

Requires a duster. Wear a dust mask when applying. Dust works well, took two applications and a day or so to impact the bees. Received in a box, but top was open and box spilled all over when opened. Quite a mess in all places "the kitchen". Open in a contained area.

After 4 critically placed applications bee traffic is notably slower but still active

This product worked well ridding our home of German Yellow Jackets that had nested in a void in our foundation. One to two days after application of the dust, no further insects have appeared.

Bought to try and control cicada bee invasion. Had about 40 holes in the yard. Dusted each hole with Tempo and within a day saw a drastic reduction in the bees. However this might have been due to the end of the their natural cycle or it might have been the dust. We really are not sure as the population in my neighbors yard died down as well around the same time and they did not dust. Hoping that the dust took care of the larvae/babies and the queens in the nest. Will know better how effective it was next summer I guess. At least next summer I will be prepared to start our counter attack at the first sign of the critters!

This product worked great for my carpenter bee problem. I have a regular service do the spraying a few time a year, but I got tired of waiting, so I got this product. When the exterminator arrived I said I did some spraying and he said they use this product. It killed at least 4 bees, that I saw. Don't know if there is anything to prevent them from returning, but this did a good job in eliminating them.

Tempo dust eventually worked on yellow jackets behind the siding on the house. It took about a week and a half with 4 - 5 applications of dust. I was not sure it was going to work when I sprayed the last time however it did and they are gone. Not sure if I just has so many that I needed repeat application or if it just took that long. Whichever, it did work and they are gone.

I am not sure if this dust kills wasps. It does however discourage them.

It took a couple applications at the entrance to the hive but it knocked out a nest of yellowjackets in my wall.

Its been about 3 weeks since I dusted the attic and crawlspace. The brown recluse traffic on my glue strips has slowed down considerably.

This is the 2nd bottle of Tempo Dust I have gotten for my Duststick in the last two years. This is the safest method for killing those White-face Hornets. Just a couple good blasts in the opening of the nest and in twenty minutes they are all gone. It's great in those holes that Carpenter Bees drill in your deck and soffits. I bought a Puffer which works best when you have to blast in a downward direction. The Duststick only works in an upward angle.

I purchased this based on reviews and I had a nest deep in the eaves of my house. I had to use this product 3 separate times and the last was most effective. I would recommend this product to anyone who is dealing with these dangerous pests

My mom's house is old and it has aluminum siding.Through the years I have used cases of wasp spray to deter red wasp but I couldn't reach the nest in the siding.They would be back in the same place every time I visited.Used this stuff to try something different with the larger squeeze bulb.you could see a small dust cloud coming out 3 or 4 feet from the area that was being injected with the bulb and hear upset wasp in the siding.Visited there weeks later and they were gone.

Tempo Dust was used to eliminate several different flying insects in an attic space ... applied 3 applications in ~ 5 day intervals ... seems to have taken care of the problem

This product does work wonders with this constant hot summer I had way too many roaches coming out every where every thing I used didn't work there was more and more coming out I just couldn't keep up with the amount of roaches....after seeing this product and reading other people's reviews I decided to try it and I'm speechless I can't believe that in just almost a month they are gone.

Oh boy this stuff worked on killing the babies inside the wood that was drilled by the mother bee.

Liberal dusting where yellowjackets were coming into the building caused them to stop and re-consider. There was not a nest that I could tell, they were simply coming in a corner of an overhead door and flying around inside. Once I dusted, they flew up to the (prior) entry hole and were not about to alight and climb inside. I did not find any dead ones outside the garage door, so I only gave 4 stars - it is an effective repellent while the powder is there... After a day or two, the entry attempts slowed down and I caulked the hole shut and that is keeping them outside.

We had wasps in our cedar siding. Dusted once at night, by next morning almost all activity had ceased. Several queens crawled out a few days later and died on he ground, my understanding is they may have already been in their 'hibernation' phase. Did a second dusting several days later for any queens and/or emerging larvae/ young wasps. Happy with the performance of this product.

Works great and solved my issue, but lost a star because it is hard to fill the applicator. The nozzle clogs very easily and just seems to have extra tempo dust flying around.
