  • 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.

    Q
    How long does it take flies to die after spraying Tempo SC Ultra?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is not a contact kill product.  It is a residual product that can take a few day to start killing insects.  You need to give the product time to work.  If the infestation of flies is extensive then you may treat again after 7-14 days.  For more information on fly control, please read our article on How to Get Rid of Flies.

    Q
    How do I get rid of Ground Wasps? Regular wasp sprays don't phase them.
    A
    If you know where the nest is you can use a dust such as Tempo dust puffed into the nest using a hand duster and around the opening of the nest. This type of application usually will kill the nest of wasps over the course of a few days.

  • Asked by Miranda from Bricelyn, Mn
    07/05/2013
    Q
    How do I know if I put enough Tempo SC in my yard to get rid of Mosquitoes?
    A
    If you used the Tempo SC at the rate of 8ml per gallon of water and treated the harborage areas until wet, but not dripping then you have applied it for sufficient coverage. Make sure when treating for mosquitoes you are spraying in the foliage of neighboring trees, bushes and ornamentals as well as moist areas of your lawn where they will tend to lay their eggs. Tempo is a residual product and will last at least 30 days outdoors so only spray in monthly intervals. It can take several weeks for you to see a noticeable drop in the population so make sure you give the product plenty of time to work and bring the activity down to a tolerable level. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    How to treat for fleas in my garage and indoors, I already have Tempo SC Ultra?
    I'm a firm believer in tempo SC... what would like advice on how to get rid of fleas in my garage... also the best way to spray inside my house for any fleas getting there
    A
    Yes, Tempo SC Ultra will treat Fleas. We also recommend mixing in an IGR that will help break down the reproductive cycle. You can use something like Precor IGR. You can use this mixture both indoors and out in the garage. You want to make sure to retreat two weeks after your initial application as the life cycle of a flea is two weeks. We also recommend applying a product like Alpine Flea Insecticide that can safely be applied to carpets and upholstered furniture. It is easily applied with a sweeping motion. PLease find out video on Indoor flea treatment.

    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra provide yard control for mosquitoes?
    A
    Yes, the Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for mosquito control in the yard. Focus sprays on prime breeding areas for the mosquitoes like shady or moist areas or heavy foliage to acheive the best control. You can also mix an IGR like Pivot into the mix with the Tempo for even better control as this will sterilize the moquitoes.

    Tempo SC Ultra is considered a general use insecticide and is labeled for outside and inside use. It is odorless, and very safe to use around children or pets.

    Q
    Can I spray Tempo SC on my horse, 15 years ago, I used to use it on all my livestock.
    A
    Tempo SC can not be sprayed on any type of animal. Tempo SC is labeled to use in cracks and crevices in the barn or housing area but it is not labeled to be used on the animals themselves. We do carry Riptide and Permethrin SFR, both of which are labeled to be used on horses.

  • Asked by Cole
    06/25/2011
    Q
    We have fleas in our chicken coop and was wondering if I can spray Tempo SC Ultra in the coop?
    If I can, how long after I spray do I have to wait until letting the chickens back in? Can I spray before I clean it (to keep from getting fleas myself) and then spray again after I clean it?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for use in and around poultry houses, however you cannot apply it inside the living space of the chickens.  The only product we have that is labeled for use inside and all around coops is Riptide.  It is usually meant for ULV fogging or misting systems, but can be used in pressurized sprayer and applied inside poultry houses. It can even be applied to the chickens themselves to help with poultry fleas and mites.

    Q
    Why can't Tempo be used on edible vegetation?
    Our garden was sprayed and I'm hoping a good washing will take care of any residual product.
    A
    Tempo cannot be applied to vegetation because the manufacturer did not label it to be applied to edible vegetation.  The manufacturer would probably tell you to discard any items that were sprayed with the tempo.  Unfortunately.  You may want to contact the manufacturer, BAYER, to be sure.  You can reach them at (800) 331-2867.
