    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
    Midge Control
    We have swarms of millions of midges that look like massive clouds. they stick to your house get into the house th rough the screens and cover the car. Is there anything I can spray to destroy this mass invasion before it happens besides keep lights down. It is awful.
    A
    Biting midges do generally not enter structures, but midges are small enough to get through 16 mesh screens. Getting mesh screens with a higher number can keep these and other very tiny insects out of your home. Since non-biting midges are attracted to lights, draw your shades at night and wait as long as possible to turn on exterior lights to keep them away from your home. It is nearly impossible to affect the habitat of these pests, and pesticides are not recommended to control these pests in water or mud.

    Our experts recommend using a pyrethrin spray such as 565 Plus or Microcare to get rid of the adult midges in or around your home. Spraying a product such as Tempo SC Ultra on window screens, doors, bushes, and plants around your home can act as midge repellant to keep midges away. Citronella candles or oils can act as a midge repellant, but aren’t as effective when used alone.

    Q
    Does it kill cone nose beetles and safe around chickens who would eat the dead insects?
    Our chickens free range and they would eat the dead insects. We are worried about them and the eggs they lay. My husband is deathly allergic to the cone nose beetle (AKA kissing bug) so we need a safe spray for chickens.
    A
    We would recommend using Talstar P for kissing bugs. It is labeled to be used in poultry houses at the rate of 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. We would recommend keeping your chickens out of the area until it has dried.

    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill millipedes? I have them by the thousands.
    Can you tell me what product would work the best (and cost efficient) to kill thousands of Millipedes. The Millipedes are outside on my concrete patio and on the concrete retaining walls. I have been looking on your website and thought maybe Tempo SC would work or do you suggest something else? Maybe I should use 2 different products? One to spray on the Millipedes that are present and one to spray the lawn area around the patio?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for millipedes. We would recommend doing a perimeter treatment around your home to prevent them from entering the structure. We would also recommend reducing the moisture around the structure to reduce the population. You will mix 8 mL per gallon of water. See our Millipedes treatment page for more details on treating this pest.
