Both Tranport Mikron and Tempo SC are labeled to treat for Silverfish. Picking between the two Transport Mikron would be best. Transport Mikron combines not only one powerful active ingredient, but two! Dilute at 1.25oz Transport Mikron per gallon water for Springtail control.
You should not mix Tempo SC Ultra and Transport Mikron together, and you should never mix 2 insecticides together unless both labels specifically state they are safe for mixing with the other product you plan to use. Insecticides are very specifically formulated to work with certain ratios and adding any other chemical to the mix can offset the ability of the product to work properly and the way it was designed. Specifically speaking regarding Transport and Tempo; Transport is a non-repellent insecticide and Tempo is not. Therefore, mixing the two will completely take away the non-repellency of the Transport, wasting the product and its intended use.
