Tempo SC is a mostly clear-drying product; however if it is over mixed, over applied/saturated in one area, and allowed to pool up it can leave a milky white residue behind. We would recommend either spraying it on a small inconspicuous spot first to see how the residual shows, or going with a product like Alpine WSG which mixes completely clear in water and dries clear.

While Tempo SC Ultra will kill any carpenter ants that come into contact with a treated area, it will not eradicate an ant colony. We would recommend our Indoor Carpenter Ant Kit. The kit contains professional pest control products to control carpenter ants found inside structures, including Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel and Maxforce Complete Granular Bait, along with bait plate stations that allow you to apply and monitor both baits simultaneously. You will also get Temprid Ready Spray, a ready-to-use version of the popular Temprid SC that contains two active ingredients for both initial knockdown and residual non-repellent activity.
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.

You can also use a knockdown spray such as Wasp Freeze to spray flying, stinging insects in the immediate area as you see them.
