  • Asked by Aaron from Boston, Massachusetts
    08/22/2015
    Q
    What is different with the Tempo SC Ultra in the 32ml bottle?
    I see you've previously noted that the 32ml bottle is not to be used in residential areas, and it is also marked on the label. What is different about it? There are less active ingredients (only Beta-cyfluthrin) in that size than the larger bottles and the mix rate is the same as the 240ml and 900ml. If straight Beta-cyfluthrin with a 1oz/gallon mix rate is bad for people, how is it safer for you only by adding a couple other chemicals in the mix?
    A

    All bottles of Tempo SC Ultra have the same amount of active ingredient, 11.8% beta-cyfluthrin. The inert ingredients may be different in the 32 mL bottle. We must recommend to apply the product in accordance with the product label. The 32 mL bottle is labeled to be diluted in 2 gallons of water, which would be the higher strength dilution. The dilution rate for the larger sized bottles is 8-16 mL per gallon of water, which is 1/4 to 1/2 ounce, not 1 ounce.

  • Asked by Pat from Texas
    12/30/2015
    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra contain pyrethrum or anything that kills the Mexican kissing bug?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra contains a pyrethroid called beta-cyfluthrin, which behaves similarly to natural pyrethrum, except with much longer residual activity. While the product label does not specifically list kissing bugs, this is a non-selective insecticide and would likely affect any insect that would contact it. Please see the following articles from Texas A&M for more information regarding kissing bugs in Texas:

  • Asked by Laura from Stamford, Ct
    01/10/2016
    Q
    Can I use Tempo SC Ultra without water or do you have it in powder form?
    And if I so, in how long can my kids and I can go back to the room?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra cannot be used without water; it is a liquid concentrate. Tempo Ultra WP is a wettable powder but also needs to be diluted in water. If you need a powder/dust insecticide you can apply without diluting, you can use something like Tempo 1% inside wall voids. Once you're finished applying it inside wall voids or as instructed on the label and the area is cleaned up from any residue, you and your kids can be back into the area.

    Q
    Can you mix Martins IGR with Tempo SC Ultra for fleas outdoors?
    A

    Yes, Martins IGR can be mixed with Tempo SC Ultra for fleas outdoors. It is recommended that you do treatments every 14 days.
