    Q
    Will Tempo kill chiggers?
    Can we spray the entire yard without killing the grass?
    A

    Yes,  Tempo SC Ultra can be applied at a rate of 8 ml of Tempo per 1000 square feet for chiggers.  The amount of water depends on how much you need to apply the 8 ml over the area.  It can be mixed with a few gallons of water, or 10 gallons of water, just as long as the 8 ml is applied over the 1000 square feet. Treatments for chiggers should begin in April/May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkept areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Tempo SC Ultra as a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors.

    Is Tempo SC Ultra effective at killing powderpost beetles?

    Can Tempo SC Ultra be used as flea dip for dogs?
    A

    Unfortuneatly, Tempo SC Ultra can not be used on dogs or any animals at all.  The product is not labeled for that type of use/application.  If you want something that you can apply directly to your pet we would suggest using something like Martins Permethrin 10% or Petcor Flea Spray

    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra harm my bearded dragon?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is safe when used as directed on the product label.   The bearded dragons just need to be out of the area while it is being sprayed, and until the product dries.  Do not apply to areas in and around any cages.  This product is only strong enough to kill small insects, and would have no effect on animals when used correctly.

  • Asked by Skye from Texas
    10/19/2017
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra keep ticks out of the house?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is not a true "repellent," so it will not keep insects such as ticks away.  The only way to do this would be to seal up all cracks and crevices that allow them access inside.  Tempo can be used as a barrier spray to help kill ticks that come into contact with treated surfaces.  Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Ticks for more detailed information on how to implement a successful control program for this pest.

    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill boxelder bugs?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for boxelder bugs and gives specific instructions for  treating them. Apply directly to boxelder bugs that have congregated around doors and windows and similar areas where they may enter structures. Apply perimeter treatment as described above. For best results, treat infested trees early in the season. 

    The treatment should begin before temperatures drop and pests start searching for places to harbor for the winter. Once the bugs have moved into your attic to overwinter you will have limited results with sprays as they will hide in cracks and crevices there and getting to all of  these is rare. Your first treatment should be in August, before the weather begins to cool, and continue through November or until the first frost of the Fall. The best treatment for overwintering pests is preventative treatment.
