    Q
    Is Tempo Ultra SC better than Demand CS?
    I have been using Demand CS for periodic pest control, and the result is good. Now I am looking into other alternatives that is more powerful than Demand CS. I am kind of looking into getting the Tempo Ultra SC this time. Does it work the same as Demand CS with more power? What are the major differences between the two?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra and Demand CS contain different active ingredients, but both are classified as a synthetic pyrethroid, so they really are very similar in the way that they work and the pests that they will control.  One is not necessarily better or stronger than the other.

  • Asked by Ishara from Durban
    03/02/2018
    Q
    Can Tempo SC Ultra be applied on furniture and furnishings?
    Our home was recently sprayed with Tempo SC. Some of the furnishings eg beds curtains etc may have come in contact with the the solution. Are the surfaces safe when dry or should they be discarded? How long does the residue remain on the surfaces before its completely gone? When dry does it pose a hazard to children or pets during the time the residue remains in our home? Thanks
    A

    Tempo SC is safe to use indoors when applied as a crack and crevice treatment according to the instructions on the product label. This is a residual insecticide that should not be applied to personal items like bedding or resting areas of furniture. If you think clothing or bedding may be contaminated, then you would want to wash these items before use. It is fine for people and pets to re-enter the treatment area after the application is dry.

  • 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.

    Q
    What is the residual for Tempo SC Ultra?
    I have seen from previous posts that Tempo SC Ultra lasts 30 days outside and 90 days inside. In areas that have been applied (cracks and crevices or areas that can't be washed) does the residue last longer if the area is not washed regularly?
    A

    The indoor residual for Tempo SC Ultra is approximately 90 days and the outdoor residual is approximately 30 days.  Even if it has been applied in areas that are undistrurbed, the residual won't last any longer.

  • Asked by Andrew from Bradford, Pa
    04/25/2018
    Q
    How would I apply the Tempo SC Ultra to large ash trees to kill emerald ash borer beetle?
    If not could you suggest a liquid that could work?
    A

    Unfortunately, Tempo SC Ultra is not labeled to treat for emerald ash borer beetles. We would recommend a systemic product like Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control Concentrate. According to the product label, this product quickly dissolves in water allowing the insecticide to move through the soil into the root zone. Once in the roots, the insecticide moves up through the tree providing year-long insect control. This product will also provide control to new growth. Drench applications to individual trees will control emerald ash borers. For foliar applications mix 1.5 tsp of this product per 1 gallon of water.

    05/06/2018
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill Japanese beetles and stink bugs?
    A

    Yes  Tempo SC Ultra? will work for stinkbugs.  Stinkbugs are not listed on the label of most insecticides yet because they have only started becoming a problem for homeowners and property owners in recent years. Be sure to spray eaves, soffits, window frames, door frames, areas where cables, pipes or wires enter into the structure and any other crack, crevice or gap where insects can harbor. We also recommend starting applications in early August to prevent having the stink bugs move in with you and sealing up as many cracks, crevces and gaps as possible. Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for Japanese Beetles.

    05/07/2018
    Q
    Can I use Tempo SC Ultra as a drench to control aphids?
    A

    While Tempo SC Ultra will control aphids, it is not labeled to be used as a drench.  A great product to use as a drench for aphids would be Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate. When using Dominion 2L to treat for aphids you would mix 0.1 - 0.4 fl oz per inch of the trunk diameter in no less than 10 gallons per 100 sq ft of treatment area. You typically want to start about 12 inches from the base of the tree and out to the drip line.
