Customer Reviews for Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide

Had a problem with wasps inside our porch eave. We tried wasp and hornet spray but could not direct the spray inside the eave. We purchased Tempo 1 % dust along with B & G Bulb Duster from DoMyOwn. The products arrived promptly. The B & G Bulb Duster has a flexible tube attachment that allowed us to direct the dust inside the eave. Two applications and the wasps were completely gone. This stuff works!

I used this in the bellows duster and only powdered the yellowjackets once and they are gone, dead, no longer a problem. Expensive but it works.

I had a yellow jacket hive inside an inaccessible area in my house. It was an enclosed soffit. The yellowjackets were entering through a tiny hole between the siding and the soffit. Part of the hive was initially on the outside of the house as well. I sprayed that part with a foam spray I got from a local hardware store. It didn't do anything. I came across this product on line and thought I'd give it a try. I applied it maybe 3 or 4 times using the applicator through the tiny hole. Problem solved. No more yellow jackets. It did take a couple of days but worked completely. I've been monitoring for the last few weeks to see if more yellowjackets show up potentially from unhitched ones in the near at the time I applied the powder. There have been a few but I found them dead or extremely lethargic. I enthusiastically endorse and recommend this product. It works.

I noticed swarms of yellow jackets flying around the corner of my house and entering between the sidings. At first, I thought about puffing some Delta dust then I decided to up the ante and apply the better product- Tempo 1% dust. It's much more effective and can get into tight areas. It also has a quicker knock down than Delta dust. After an hour of applying it, I noticed that it was 85% less active and the next day they were no activity.

I had Carpenter bees in my shed. Last spring I suited up like an alien and duster EVERY hole I could find and I mean EVERY ONE. This year found two active holes, dusted them and they started buzzing and multiple bees came out covered and died. The REAL bonus this year is when I looked at all the other holes to see if there was activity...and low and behold saw dead ones that either had tried to come out thru the dust or tried to used that hole and were dead right there in the hole entrance. I had dusted those holes last year!

This worked perfectly as a follow-up to the insecticide to kill off the bees in their hive! Highly recommend!

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.

This is the second time in several years when we've been plagued by bees in our basement. Standard sprays helped, but didn't get rid of them all. That first time we hired an expensive pest control professional who used cyfluthrin dust which took care of it. Now this product is available here and we can take care of it ourselves! We "puffed" it where the bees entered and throughout activity areas. Be patient! The bees need to track it to the hive, where it kills all--just a few days. No more bees! That the product is safe indoors and out with standard precautions is a real plus. The nozzle is effective by itself; we also have the duster for extra ease. Love bees, but not in the house!

Noticed immediate results. Took 2 dusting to stop all activity from a yellow jacket nest in my bay window. Recommend paying attention to the wind direction and wear drywall dust mask and full eye protection.

I tried many other products to get rid of wasps and it didn't work. Used this product once and the issue is resolved and it worked fast. Thank you.

Used puffer to apply. First night shot 3 puffs under air conditioner pad and left residue outside of it as well. Next day and for a week after.. no yellow jacket activity. 2nd week the yellow jackets returned so I reapplied Tempo again but tried to get a thicker stream. 4 puffs this time and then covered the opening with #57 limestone. 5 days later no yellowjackets yet. My guess is all underneath the pad are dead and now they have no entry or escape therefore most likely a success.

I had hornets up under my soffit, large numbers coming and going, however could not get a direct view of the nest. A couple puffs of this in several small openings… No more hornets! Don't hesitateTo buy this product!

I was under the impression this may take a few treatments to control the wasps. NOPE- one dusting and they were toast. I dusted at 10 am and by noon I didn't see anymore wasps. Treated soffit and fence.

Used this powder once at night and it did the trick. Added flex tubing onto rigid pipe applicator to get behind facia.

I initially opted for Delta Dust due to an outdoor location behind a brick façade when sprays wouldn't reach the yellow jacket nest because it was waterproof, after applying as directed daily for over 7 days it was apparent that this product wasn't working so I ordered the Tempo Dust. I applied Tempo Dust on my way to work at 05:30 a.m. and when I got home there was zero activity. Not sure why the other product didn't work but Tempo Dust nailed em dead.

Took care of the yellow jackets immediately. -----------------------------------------

I got stung by a yellow jacket and ended up in the ER. My husband also has a sever allergy. I hired a few pest control companies to come out and get rid of the yellow jackets. To no avail they kept surviving. They were up a pillar so sprays wouldn't get to their best. The best was on the front porch so they were aggressive anytime people came to the front porch. I read the reviews for this product and knew I needed to take the issue into my own hands. I ordered a new keeper suit on Amazon and a duster. Once my items came I loaded the entry points of the pillar with duster. With in 24 hours they were all dead!!! One month later they are still dead no sign of life!! This product is the best especially for hard to reach places.

I tried another vendors product a number of times with little effect on the yellow jackets nest. I applied this product once and the amount of yellow jackets dropped significantly. A second application two days later stopped the rest. I would purchase again.

I purchased the tempo 1% dust and it worked very well to eliminate my bee problems.

This powder is the same or close to what the pros use. It is very effective with ground yellow jackets and wasps in siding and other places they like to build their nests. If they get the powder on them, they will take it to the nest and kill the queen and eventually kill or drive the wasps out.

This product was great. Since it isn't waterproof, I applied it when I knew it wasn't going to rain for about three days. It was once and done for me. I used the Bellow Duster and applied it that night about midnight when they were resting. One started to move around so I had to be quick and immediately dash away just in case they all came out. By the next day there was no activity in the nest area which was an old railroad tie. I saw a few flying low to the ground on the other side of the yard but within a couple days I didn't see them. They may have been from a nest on my neighbor's property since he had a nest last year, but I don't know. I know my nest area has remained completely inactive. Recommend watching the Bellow hand duster video for correct use. Great product.

Hornet nest in joist space in house. Local hornets are resistant to Delta Dust. Two applications of Tempo Dust at entry point eliminated activity. First treatment was at night. No activity for several days then activity returned. Second treatment during the day. I think it is better to treat in the daytime when insects are returning to the nest with food--they drag the insecticide into the nest with the food.

Had tried for 3 weeks with bleach, ammonia and wasp spray with only minimal results to get rid of yellow jackets in ground and rocks. I used Tempo 1% dust for one application and NO MORE yellow jackets. I still have plenty of dust left in case more pests show up.

Sprayed the dust in the crack where the yellow jackets were . The next day no YJ activity at all. I will close up the entrance today.

A good Yellow Jacket killer! Applied with a Bellow hand duster, directly into the nest in a brick wall.

I had bees going in and out of my siding in one area, through gaps where the siding ends at the top towards the roof eve. Applied this powder in the cracks with a puffer container and nozzle in the evening. The next morning, many bees were dead on the patio, and not a bee in sight.

I have Drione dust, Delta dust D-fense dust and Tempo Dust. Each have their own mode or method regaurding IPM. HOWEVER when it comes to yellow jackets that infested the tiny crevace at the start of my aluminum gutter which butts to the siding and they nested down on the inside of the eve of the siding. NO possible way of any spray without serious backsplash and excessive runoff...Wait Until 9:30pm-10pm. The wasps will be totally dormant. Approach with a headlamp using ONLY RED light. Wasps do not have good vision at night and cannot see red light. They will gravitate to yellow light however...first thing I did was slip the CB80 straw inside the tiny section and held down on the applicator for 8-10 seconds...Nothing...the I got 2 bulb dusters the b and g and the puffy d. Both dusters do NOT disperse sufficient plumes vertically. So a ladder was also called into play. Both dusters were filled 1/3 up with tempo dust 0.1% cyflutherin. The B and G I placed 2, 3/4" washers inside to help agitate the dust when shaking it. Managed to send plumes of dust inside the hole and all around the surrounding areas. Proceeded to then take a screwdriver to open up the aluminum just a bit more when a white yellow jacket fell out at me, freaking me off the ladder in a hurry. Puffed more plumes in and around the hole. People, think of this more like a smoke than a dust. It is VERY fine, it travels like smoke and acts like smoke. Per my application a full face p100 respirator was employed. Managed to get just a wisp of dust on my bare arm and in 5mins it turned red and started to slightly burn. Stuff is POWERFUL. Make sure to use chemical resistant gloves, having pants and a full face respirator coupled with the gloves on a humid August night makes for a very uncomfortable and sweaty job, but PPE is paramount. Woke up today, and I have not seen a single yellow jacket come in or out of the hole. Repetition is key on an inaccessible nest. Dusted this 3 weeks ago prior to my vacation and the yellow jackets did not all die, and it grew to a massive proportion. REMOVAL of the nest is PARAMOUNT as well. The larva is extremely hardy (found out last year when I treating a ground nest. 1 gallon of Permethrin SFR at highest allotted rate mixed with scalding hot water...hot water significantly reduces permethrin efficiency keep in mind...found out after the fact, yet dug out 3 pancake size hives filled with transparent blue squirming larva and several soldiers were kicking.) The queen will overwinter with her brood and in a place so well protected, the nest will become all the bigger the next summer...so today I will remove the soffit and open the side of the gutter housing with a can of PT WASP freeze in my 1 hand and a bad mitten racquet in the other! TEMPO DUST is hand down the BEST dust for flying, stinging insects and areas that are not accessible due to how this product works..again think of it more like a smoke and less like corn starch. Stuff will torch your lungs if your not wearing the proper PPE. Protect skin, eyes, lungs when using this product or any product for that matter. (Side note, dusting at night is much worse as you think the dust dissipates and you go in for a closer look, all the while its raining down on you) just be safe, follow the label. This is professional stuff and alot safer than the organophosphates like chloridane or Dursban. Really amazing product!
