    Q
    Can Tempo SC Ultra be used for mosquitoes using a backpack mist blower?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra can be used in any tank mix applicator such as a hand pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or battery/gas powered sprayer or mist blower. It cannot be used in a true fogger like a ULV or thermal fogger that requires very specific fogging concentrates like the Commander Tri-Jet fogger we carry.

    Q
    My trees where bees live was sprayed with Tempo SC Ultra. Can I wash the trees with soap and water to remove the spray?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra will not harm your tree or the bees if it was sprayed when they were not active. Once a product has dried, it is rainfast and water will not wash it off immediately. Since this was done outdoors, the product will break down within 30 days of application.

    Q
    Is there any long term health problems if Tempo SC Ultra is absorbed through skin while spraying?

    Tempo SC Ultra is safe when used as directed and should pose no long term effects if small amounts of skin contact happen but it is best to avoid skin contact during application. Per the product SDS: Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Notes to Physician Treatment: There is no specific antidote. Appropriate supportive and symptomatic treatment as indicated by the patient's condition is recommended.

    04/17/2017
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra harm my cat if he ingested it?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra can harm a cat if they ingest a large quantity of the actual product or mixed solution.  Pets should be out of the treated area until dry and then the small amount left behind would not be enough to harm a pet if they were to contact after.

    Q
    Will bugs get used to Tempo SC Ultra if you spray it every month?
    If so, what do you rotate the solution with? I spray for people and didn't know if bugs would start being tolerant to what I use.
    A

    We recommend rotating Tempo SC Ultra between insecticides at least once a year to prevent resistance issues.  There is a variety of products you can rotate to, Temprid SC, Suspend Polyzone, Talstar P, and Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide, just to name a few.

  • Asked by Martin from Alma, Ar
    05/04/2017
    Q
    Should I use a foam residual spray for wasps around my picnic table?
    I have a cedar picnic table that the wasps seem to like to collect in the nooks and crannies and stay hidden until one sits down and out they come. Have done this for several years now. I am thinking about some sort of foam insecticidal spray with residual activity and adherence where sprayed, something like an expanding foam. Is there such a product and do you have any?
    A

    It sounds like the wasps may be in the ground under the table rather than on the table itself, unless you can see a specific place where there is a small nest on or under the table. We would not recommend using any insecticide where you sit or eat on a picnic table. Tempo SC Ultra would be a great choice for the ground around the table. You can also use a knockdown spray such as Wasp Freeze to spray flying, stinging insects in the immediate area as you see them.

  • 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

  • Asked by Faron from Iowa

    Q
    What is best for killing stable flies on the outside walls of our house?
    What do you recommend for stable flies? We rent a farmhouse and there are 60 cattle about 100 yards from the house. The farmer uses fly predators but does not do a good job of scooping the manure enough. The flies are all over the side of the house and also under the roofs on our front and back porch. The splatter red goop when you swat them. We have sprayed the outside walls of the house with Tempo Sc ultra and that little affect on them.
    A

    While Tempo SC can provide some relief of those flies that land on a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose, it is just not a fast kill.   Apply it once a month for best results. The best recommendation for flies outside is using traps to draw them away from an area you want to protect.  The Flies Be Gone Fly Trap would be good to use.  Another option is using baits like QuickStrike.
