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.

Using these together could actually create a repellent effect and cause insects to avoid the treated areas instead of contacting the active ingredient.
