  • Asked by Andrew from Bradford, Pa
    04/25/2018
    Q
    How would I apply the Tempo SC Ultra to large ash trees to kill emerald ash borer beetle?
    If not could you suggest a liquid that could work?
    A

    Unfortunately, Tempo SC Ultra is not labeled to treat for emerald ash borer beetles. We would recommend a systemic product like Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control Concentrate. According to the product label, this product quickly dissolves in water allowing the insecticide to move through the soil into the root zone. Once in the roots, the insecticide moves up through the tree providing year-long insect control. This product will also provide control to new growth. Drench applications to individual trees will control emerald ash borers. For foliar applications mix 1.5 tsp of this product per 1 gallon of water.

  • Asked by Kevin from Sulphur, Ok
    09/03/2013
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill fruit trees if you spray it on them directly?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra will not kill a fruit tree but is not labeled to be used on any fruit trees. We do carry another product called Bayer Advanced Vegetable and Fruit Spray which contains the same active ingredient Cyfluthrin but in a different formulation which allows it to be used on edible vegetation.

  • Asked by Ron from Herndon
    03/23/2023
    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra kill evergreen ash borers?
    evergreen ash borers kill ash trees
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is not specifically labeled for evergreen ash borers, and when applied could only be used as a foliar spray. This product is not meant to be used as a systemic treatment for borers. Instead, Dominion 2L is a great product used to treat ash borers and other boring beetles in trees. The active ingredient is Imidacloprid which is one of the highly recommended ingredients to use when treating this type of pest. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
