    Q
    How fast does Tempo SC Ultra work on roaches?
    How fast does it work on roaches???
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra could take a while to work because it is a residual product. It will provide a faster knockdown because it does contain two active ingredients that work together.

    When combating roaches, we would recommend using Gentrol IGR (insect growth regulator) to stop the roaches from reproducing.

    Q
    Will tempo harm my 3 month old?
    I live in a townhome and according to my lease, pest control sprays the home with tempo every other month. Is this something that can harm my baby through inhalation?
    A
    We would not recommend the baby being in the home when the actual product is sprayed. Tempo SC Ultra is safe once it is dry though.

    Q
    Can I spray Tempo SC Ultra to kill potato bugs?
    A

    While Tempo SC will certainly kill potato bugs it cannot be used on edible vegetation. Instead we recommend using Bayer Advanced Vegetable and Garden Spray which contains the same active ingredient as Tempo but a different formulation which allows you to use it on edible vegetation.

    Q
    Which product is better between Tempo SC and Bifen IT?
    Which product is better for ladybugs, ants, spiders, scorpions, roaches, mosquitoes, and flies?
    A

    Bifen IT and Tempo SC Ultra are both very good products. The biggest difference between them is that they have two different active ingredients. They are both great insecticides and can be alternated so that there is no pest resistance built up.

  • Asked by Hpmoney from Savannah, Georgia
    01/29/2017
    Q
    Can Tempo SC Ultra be mixed with Talstar P?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra and Talstar P are both synthetic pyrethroid insecticides that work very similarly, so there really is no reason to mix these two products together at the same time. You could use them in rotation with each other to prevent insect resistance, but we would not recommend using them at the same time. Using these together could actually create a repellent effect and cause insects to avoid the treated areas instead of contacting the active ingredient.

  • Asked by Brenda from Center, Nd
    05/14/2017
    Q
    How long does it take wood ticks to die once a yard has been treated with Tempo SC Ultra?
    We live in the country I have never seen wood ticks so bad as they are this year. I sprayed Tempo in the immediate yard and the perimeter of the yard along the grass lines and the tree lines, is this sufficient to kill them and how long does it take before it takes effect? By the way Tempo is a great product. I've been using it for years I have no spiders and mosquitoes are kept at a minimum.
    A

    How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the tick as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks indoors because the ticks like to stay hidden which also means they could be staying out of treated areas and eggs may hatch out prolonging the infestation. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 16 ml of Tempo SC Ultra per gallon of water
