  • Asked by Ishara from Durban
    03/30/2018
    Q
    Is there residue transfer of Tempo SC Ultra?
    I have had Tempo SC sprayed 1 month ago. I know the residue is safe when dry. Will the residue contaminate other items eg kitchen sink, crockery, cutlery, food containers clothes etc if the mops and cloths used to clean areas of the house that were treated are washed in the sink? If so will regular soap, dishwasher, washing machine remove the residue or do I need a chemical strength cleaner?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra should not be applied to these items and the residual left behind would not be picked up by items that contact a treated area. Contaminated items or surfaces should be washed thoroughly using an appropriate cleaner for those items.

  • Asked by Mc from Ellensburg, Wa
    05/30/2018
    Q
    After I spray Tempo, should I expect to see spiders emerge?
    I sprayed inside and outside of my house one week ago, and since then I have seen more spiders in the house than ever before.
    A

    You will still see insects including spiders after applying Tempo SC Ultra as it is not a repellent meant to keep them away.  It is designed to leave a long residual that will continue to kill insects that contact a treated surface.  After application you may notice an increase in activity as they are able to detect something has been applied and may be more irritated.  It can be applied once a month outside and once every 90 days outside.
