    Q
    How long does it take for Tempo SC Ultra to kill fleas?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is labeled to eradicate adult fleas outdoors. It will kill fleas that crawl across a treated surface but it does not kill on contact. For more information on eliminating fleas, please take a few moments to review our article and videos on How to Get Rid of Fleas. We offer flea control kits for outdoors and indoors.

    Q
    Will Tempo help keep mice away?

  • Asked by Lynn from Bismarck, Nd
    08/16/2011
    Q
    Will Tempo kill slugs if sprayed around the base of plants where slugs lurk?
    A
    Tempo is not labeled to control slugs. Slugs put down a continuous layer of mucus which makes it impossible for dried deposits of insecticide sprays to reach the actual slug. You will need to use a slug bait such as Sluggo Plus or Hi-Yield Improved Slug and Snail Bait to control the slugs near your plants.

  • Asked by Wes from Owyhee County Idaho
    07/07/2018
    Q
    How long should I wait before watering after using Tempo SC Ultra on the lawn?
    A

    Most insecticides like Tempo SC Ultra are going to be rainfast within 6 hours of drying. We typically suggest waiting about 24 hours if possible before resuming irrigation or having rainfall to ensure the maximum residual will be observed from the product.

  • Asked by Gladys from Lexington, Va
    09/18/2016
    Q
    How do I mix Tempo SC Ultra? Why does it have two caps on the bottle?
    I have a 2 gal. size lawn sprayer. I just don't get the gist of the small bottle attached to the larger bottle of Tempo.
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is mixed at 8-16 ml per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft so you will need 16-32 ml for your 2 gallon sprayer. The one cap is for the full contents of the bottle and the second cap on the bottle is a measuring device so that you do not require mixing spoons or cups to measure the product. You simply squeeze the bottle and the product travels up the straw on the side of the bottle. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.

    Q
    Can I use Tempo SC Ultra on vegetable gardens?
    can i use tempo on garden: beans, peas ,tomatoes, corn etc?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra can not be used on any type of edible vegetation so this product would not work for your needs. You could use something like Thuricide or Fertilome Triple Action Plus depending on what insects you are trying to treat for. Both of those products are specifically designed to kill insects on edible crops without causing any harm to the food it is sprayed on. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Which product is better for general around use? Tempo SC or Cy-Kick CS?
    Which product is better for general around use? Tempo SC or Cy-Kick CS.
    A
    We could not really answer that question because both are very popular and they basically treat the same pests and are applied the same way.  We sell the same amount of both products and the customer feedback is outstanding on both products.  It comes down to personal preference.  Our philosophy is that if you have used one or the other in the past with good results, then you should continue to use that one.  Please be sure to read our customer reviews on the product pages.  Who better to recommend a product than our actual customers using it in the real world.

  • Asked by John
    09/25/2010
    Q
    Is Tempo SC Ultra resistant to rain?
    I will be spraying my siding for stink bugs, and it will have time to dry. It will eventually rain. Since it is water based, will it just wash away? If so, can you recommend another product?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra will hold up to rain just fine.  All of the professional grade liquid products that we sell are made to stick to porous surfaces.  What really breaks down the residual of products is UV sunlight.  The side of your home that is in direct sunlight most of the day is much more of an issue than rain.  Since stink bugs are so bad right now, we are recommending treating every 3 to 4 weeks with Tempo SC Ultra.  Typically, Tempo SC Ultra should last a good 60 days around most parts of your home.

  • Asked by Th from Springfield, Va
    06/26/2013
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra hurt my cat when she grooms herself?
    Our exterminator sprayed inside the house along the baseboards and windowsills. When my cat is in the window or laying alongside the baseboard will she pick up the residual poison and ingest that when she licks her fur to groom? I'm regretting letting him talk me into spraying inside. He told me it was very safe around pets but then he didn't tell us to stay out of the room while he was spraying. How do I clean it off where he sprayed and get rid of it if I decide it's too risky?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra  is safe around pets. Yes, the pet should not re enter the room until the treated area has dried. If you decide you want to clean the treated area, you want to use hot water and soap to remove the chemical.

  • Asked by Miranda from Marlow, Ok
    06/15/2018
    Q
    What is the difference between the Tempo SC Ultra and Tempo Ultra WP?
    A

     

    Tempo SC Ultra is a  concentrated water based liquid insecticide that will need to be mixed with water. Tempo Ultra WP is a wettable powder that is also mixed with water. Both products contain the same active ingredient and will provide similar results. Tempo Ultra WP will do a better job on porous surfaces as it will stay on the surface and be more available to insects. Tempo SC Ultra, on the other hand, will dry clear and will not leave behind the powdery residue that Tempo Ultra WP can.
