Customer Reviews for Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide

We ended up with three nests of yellow jackets to deal with in one weekend. Our dog and our neighbors dog roused a huge nest unknown to us previously and in the resultant attacking swarm, we each got stung at least three times each, and the dogs multiple stings as well. We needed to get rid all three nests. We searched online to find the most effective agent and Tempo 1% dust seemed to be it. So we ordered a bottle and a squeeze tube. When it arrived, we duly waited for night time and stole up to the two holes that we needed to eliminate. I first soaked the opening with wasp/hornet spray, and then inserted the nozzle and squeezed out several healthy bursts. We repeated this at the second nest and called it a night. The next morning I checked on activity and one of the nests was still showing some. Yellow jackets were still flyig in and out, but they seemed lethargic. At the second nest, I'd actually plugged the hole with dust and no insects were visible. I checked again the following day and the first nest was inert, no activity at all. The second nest still showed no activity. Our neighbors borrowed the dust bulb because their methods of dealing with the nest had not worked. After two days they too reported that the nest was dead, no activity at all. So three nests and three confirmed kills. I'm keeping Tempo 1% around from now on. Charles Scott

Two applications did it! Puffed it in the entrance at night three days apart....didn't take much either and I had a huge, huge amount of yellow jackets. Highly recommended product. By the way, the company got the stuff here super fast!! I am impressed all the way around. Thanks!

My wife told me there was a hornet's nest in the shed by her garden. While I was looking to see where they were my wife decided to show me where by throwing a rock at the shed near me. She was right it was a big hornet's nest and they found me before I found them. I got my hand on some of this and when my wife wasn't around to help I let 'em have it. The hornets were dead the next day. Lots sooner than it took me to recover. Great stuff.

I had a large amount of Red and Black Mason Wasp and Yellow Jackets building nests in my exterior wall through my wood siding. I used this Tempo dust in every hole or crack I could find and within a day I saw dead Wasps everywhere. This is highly effective stuff. It's been several days and I haven't seen any live Wasps or Yellow Jackets around. Now, I just need to calk the holes in the siding shut to prevent them from ever moving back in. I also used this to stop ants from entering through a small crack near my door. Stopped those little guys too. I highly recommend this product if you have a problem with pests entering through a hole or crack. One will get the powder on them and then carry it back to the nest and get the rest. I would suggest getting a bulb duster to apply this. I just used the bottle end and it can make a mess.

This dust is amazing! We live in the woods/densly forrested area and have had a CONSTANT fight with wasps, bees and hornets making their home under the eaves of our home. We would have to fight to just get in the door without a wasp or two following. We used the dust all along the eaves. We've seen the pests fly back to their beloved eaves only to turn and fly away! It's a miracle dust. We are the perrrfect examples to try this stuff on. We rid ourselves of all the sprays and yellow hanging plastic bee/wasp containers, which did no good; except for the ones we caught. This dust is the best!

At the first sign of bees, we applied early spring application in the cracks of our deck and complete success. We have a very large deck, different levels 12" & 18" off the ground, and last year we could not use because of numerous nests. One application this spring, and now no bees!

This Tempo dust is fantastic, and MANY times better than any sort of spray you'll find at the local home center etc.... I won't even buy those products again, as they were completely useless in eliminating yellow jackets. Those worthless sprays often make bold claims such as "kills the whole nest," you'd be lucky to kill the ones you were directly spraying (that are now trying to attack you!). This tempo dust (and bellows applicator) is 110% the real deal. I will gladly keep buying Tempo dust. It is my #1 choice, and my only need anymore against those winged biting and stinging little devils!

This really works. Skip the applicator and just dump a bunch of powder into the entrance of the nest.

Took immediate care of ridding the patio of the many Circadia Hornet wasps, so we're again enjoying that area w/o them!

I had been fighting yellow jackets for weeks, as they hunkered in behind the siding and front porch of the house. After killing a 100 or so personally and with traps, and still hundreds more around, I went to the hard stuff (tempo dust). I thought you could spray it right out of the bottle and the bulb sprayer was out of stock, but using the bottle alone didn't work, so I has to find a dust sprayer locally to apply. After shooting the dust into the area, no more yellow jackets the next day.

This stuff is the best. After several ineffective treatments with another "dust" product, we used the Tempo dust on our troublesome yellow jackets and it "fixed" them on the first treatment.

We were overrun with ground bees, we couldn't walk out the door of our house without being attacked. I was told by a pest control specialist to buy Tempo. We treated the holes and the next day the bees were all dead. They came back a few days later and we did the same thing. After 2 treatments we have not had any problems. I bought 2 large bottles, so next year we can treat before they get out of hand. Make sure to also purchase the bellow duster. Super easy to use and gets the powder right in the hole.

I used to clean out a nest of bees that had built a nest between the exterior brick and the inside wall of my house. It was easy to use and very effective. The bees were all gone within 24-36 hours.

I live in the mountains. Every summer there is an invasion of wasps and yellow jackets. This year yellow jackets built a nest under my siding. As they were actively swarming I watched for their entry point. During last light once there was no sign of the pests I pointed duster into the area and gave it a good dusting. This morning there was no swarming and there were a few dead on the ground. Then I looked up at the big picture window inside and there were 25-30 yellow jackets on the glass. They were stunned and easy to take care. This stuff works, and I'm happy to know how to take care of them without getting stung.

I could not get rid of the yellow jackets in my foundation. Exterminator wanted $190 with no guarantee that he could get them in one visit. I used tempo dust and within 24hrs the bee activity had dropped tremendously. I dusted three more times to make sure I got them all. No more bees! This stuff works great!

After spending at least the cost of this product on various retail sprays that seemed to only mask the problem, I researched and found this product. I had a serious wasp problem. They were going in through my family room overhang. I could hear them in the ceiling. The sprays simply caused them to drill through my ceiling and enter the house. Fortunately, I was able to close off the room from the rest of the house. The instructions on this product indicated it could take more than one application. After one application inside and outside the house. The problem is gone. I purchased with the duster ball that worked well once I got the hang of it. Make sure you wear a mask and eye protection. This stuff is potent.

After spraying no less than 5 cans of wasp spray on three separate hives, under eves and even nests under siding. I ordered this powder, applied a light dusting and wasps and yellow jackets were gone! A bunch of them were were simply lying on the ground under the hive.

Until I tried Tempo 1% dust, I had gone through at least 3 cans of spray Wasp killer trying to rid my patio of a hidden yellow jacket nest within one of my brick columns. After only a single small application using the separately purchased bellow duster, there was no more activity within hours of dusting. This stuff simply WORKS! I have recommended it to many others that have hidden nests.

This product worked great. We had a yellowjacket nest in a space where the water line enters the house and into the basement. The dust was carried to the nest and haven't seen any since.

Had a yellow jacket nest on my stone behind trim up into soffit with hundreds of bees . I could kill many during night with sprays but there were always more! I sprayed the Temp 1% Dust one time using the dust sprayer and there were no bees the next morning! Great product!

I sprayed the yellow jackets hole at night and by noon the next day the activity was almost non existent. It took a couple more days and nothing was moving. Really a great product

Yellow jackets had invaded my outside wall and were coming in and out through the crack at the bottom where the wood/siding met the concrete blocks. Tried the spray from the local store which basically just put oily residue on the blocks and killed nothing. Bought this and the B&G bulb applicator. The flexible tip of the applicator fit up inside the siding and I got this stuff up inside the wall. After two night time applications the pests are gone.

It killed all tell hornets the first application. This saved me a lot of money not have the exterminator come out.

First Time user of this product. Was skeptical at first not knowing what to expect. I also purchased a duster. This tempo dust did the trick. I dusted each hole where I saw the bees go in and come out. 55 holes to be exact. It took about 3 days and I no longer see any activity. This stuff did the trick. Save me $275.00 that orkin wasngoing to charge me. I am a happy customer. Thankyou!

I had a hornets nest that got behind the hose bib in the brick wall. I tried every other dust just about and this is the one that actually stopped the problem.
