  • Asked by Rob from Donalsonville Georgia
    05/12/2015
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill termites?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra will eradicate those above ground termites but will not replace a soil applicaiton or wood treatment. If you are treating for termites we recommend a soil treatment for subterranean termites with a non-repellent termiticide such as Termidor SC. Bora-Care can be applied to raw wood for treating drywood termites. Please read our Termite Treatment Article for more information.

    Q
    Is Tempo SC Ultra recommended for termites or should I go with the Termidor SC?
    A
    Termidor is the top rated product for termite control on the market today. The only time Temp should be used is if you are directly treating a known nest. Tempo should not be used to prevent termites.

    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra work on termites?

    Tempo SC Ultra has a very limited use for termites. According to the Tempo SC Ultra product label: This type of application is intended to be a supplemental treatment for control of drywood and above ground subterranean termites and other wood-infesting insects.

  • Asked by Bob from Gold Canyon, Az
    12/29/2016
    Q
    Will using Tempo SC on the foundation of my home monthly stop subterranean termites?
    A

    Termites are not a surface dwelling insect, so applying insecticide sprays, such as Tempo SC Ultra to the foundation will not be a work.  We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here. Termidor SC would be the top product to use for the trench.

  • Asked by Jeremy from Vancouver, Wa
    11/01/2019
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill wood eating termites ?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra will kill termites above ground but will not replace a soil application or wood treatment. When treating for subterranean termites you would want to do a soil treatment with a termiticide like Termidor SC. If you are treating for drywood termites we recommend using something like Bora-Care to treat raw wood. Please look over our guides on Subterranean Termites and Drywood Termites for more information.

  • Asked by Bill from Oklahoma City , Ok
    06/12/2013
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra work for Termites?
    Have been searching the questions and haven't found any questions about using Tempo for killing termites. I want to treat the foundation to kill termites showing up in an older house with a crawl space.
    A
    We can tell you that for termites we almost always recommend Termidor SC. Termidor has a different active ingredient than Tempo SC Ultra and this active ingredient allows the ants or termites to pick the product up on their bodies and move it back to the nest and spread it to the other insects. Tempo on the other hand will only kill the insects that come into direct contact with treated surfaces. Also Termidor will last about twice as long as Tempo when used as a termite barrier in a trenching treatment. Please let us know if you have more questions about Tempo vs Termidor.

    Tempo SC and Demon Max should not be tank mixed. You should use one or the other as directed on the label for the targeted pest/area treating. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Termites for a successful application with suggested products.

  • Asked by Jan from Spartanburg, Sc
    06/10/2013
    Q
    what is the difference between bifenthrin and tempo sc
    A
    Tempo SC is a suspension concentrate that delivers the power of a powder formulation in a liquid. It's easy to use too-less messy to handle, needs less agitation and is more evenly dispersed during application than other products. Tempo SC Ultra has no odor, is non-staining, and has a long lasting residual of up to 3 months. Where as Bifen IT and other Bifenthrin generics control over 75 common insect pests, including termites. Bifen can be used as an indoor and outdoor pest control, turf and ornamental application, and for treating pests in food-handling areas. Both Talstar One and Bifen I/T contain microcrystals that do not break down easily with rain once they bond to surfaces. Both Talstar One and Bifen IT are clear substances that leave no stains on painted surfaces.
